Hundred Pumpkin Orange?

    It's a real orange which this game is severely missing. It is unfortunate that there is no way to get it. It would have been a nice achievement bonus for the event.

    Wait, what. You pay $2 for a dye that you can only use once?

    ...

    And also you can only use it on a costume.

    Well, I'm not going to buy a one time use only dye. As for the preview, I would expect from ZoS to implement it for the crown store items :)

    They should rethink the dye stamp idea. 1 use is a deal breaker.

    I completely agree. If this was a dye we could purchase for use multiple times I would have spent the crowns on it.

    At least real Pay 2 Win items are actually worth something. This is just a stupid moneygrab.

    The name makes me think it should be the reward for the Plunder Skull Fanatic achievement (100 pumpkins) but it's not even listed there. Do you guys think it might be a bug?

    I think that might have been the original plan, but it was changed to make he dye exclusive to the Dye Stamps and they didn't change the name.

    It is surely a shame.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    How do I unlock the dye? :smile:

    Either a hidden/overlooked achievement (seems unlikely at this point) or you buy it with the Crown Store Dye Stamps (likely). :S

    You're kidding :neutral:
    No way. A one-time-only use dye for $2 is totally a bargain! I mean, you'll never want to change the color of your armor again, let alone upgrade it at some future point, so that's totally $2 that's never going to be wasted in your life! Especially if you end up not liking it outside of the preview window! On the one and only character you use it on!

    The stamps are such a waste of money. I would rather spend 1000 crowns on the orange dye to do it all any time I want. It is the best orange. If no one buys the stamps they will see it as a bad business model and change it.

    On metallic pieces the orange looks more like a really awesome gold.

    Dye stamps are about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. UO got it right with anniversary reward dyes for long time players.

    They could at least have exclusive reusable dyes for crowns to use on your actual gear.

    That would make too much sense though. These devs really are on borrowed time, aren't they?

    Make a dyestamp cost < 50$ (1 day work)
    It's only RGB code. The most expensive part is the picture and adding product to the market itself with procedures, but with a good graphist and Photoshop, it takes only few minutes for pict.

    There is already hundreds of dyestamps ingame, so believe me, they won't be removed.

    Agreed should been a dye unlock for completing the event

    Yeah, it should have been either the title + dye or just the dye, imo. That orange is so awesome looking, it's a shame they've made it crown store exclusive.

    Pay to Win implies a gameplay advantage that can be bought. Since this is just a dye it does not apply.

    Depends on what you're playing for and therefore what you consider "winning."
    It sure it stupid though.

    I prefer the word crass, but stupid would work.

    I love the orange but a one time use and only for a costume sucks.

    One time dyes of any sort at any time suck. But that's what happens when you hire the guy from Cryptic/Perfect World to run your cash shop.
