The Return of Hundred Pumpkin Orange : Is it time to end stamp-exclusive dyes?

Recremen · October 2017

New year, new Witches Festival, new great offerings from the cash shop, but also the return of something sinister... dye colors that are only available as stamps! Hundred Pumpkin Orange is back on the market, and the criticisms of only offering it as a stamp seem as strong as ever. Wouldn't you want the opportunity to buy this as a permanent unlock? Don't you want to use it not only on your costumes, but also your armor, shields, and (someday, hopefully) weapons? Let the devs know if you want more options than just stamps for these rare colors!

Stamps are something I'd never buy. If it were a permanent addition to my available colors that I can use as many times as I want from that point on, I might be interested. A one time use color? Nope, not even at a single crown pricetag.

I really want the hundred pumpkin orange for my armor, but stamps only do costume/hat, so useless to me.

I was hoping it would be an achievement unlock during the event.

No such luck.

CAN I GIVE THIS 1 MILLION AWESOMES?

Yeah I refuse to bye crown furniture and dye stamps because of how 1 off they are. If for example, it was a dye added to my collection, I'd buy it. Same with furniture, If buying 1 crown chair meant I could use that 1 chair in all my houses or buy 4 of the same crown chair means I can use that same chair 4 times in every house I'd be sold and crowns would be flowing.

I don't mind that someone could spend crowns on a dye that is single use. Not my crowns, not my business.

Got my awesome.

I would like new dyes to buy individual.

And new costumes; I feel like the frequency of new armor styles have dropped compared to the recent clothes.

Shawn_PT · October 2017

I'm with everyone who doesn't buy them because they're a one-off thing. We're paying crowns for something that's essentially a consumable.

I very much doubt anyone would use their crowns to buy potions and soul gems (the ones in crates notwithstanding), so why would they pay for a set of dyes which they can only use once on a single costume?

When stamps first came out I liked the idea. A 'collectible' I can use to copy/paste the colors on my gear, awesome. Then I saw reports of people saying it was single-use only, and whatever interest I had in them vanished.

By the way isn't that orange similar to the one we get from completing the Horns dungeons on vet?

Saturnana · October 2017

Since they're single-use, I'm not spending real money on them. I'd hoped ZOS would make them forever available from the collections menu upon purchase but that hasn't happened and probably never will. Maybe / hopefully they'll expand the achievement list for the festival a bit next year (to keep it interesting for returning players) and add the orange colour as an achievement reward? Would be cool. (:

*cries in a corner while wearing crafted gear because fashion > stats but yet zos withhelds options from us*

There were also a special blue, red and white dyes for that weird american holiday and i think another red and gold for that pvp event if i remember right.

EvilCroc · October 2017

This should be end of stamps themselves. I really want to buy this DYE to unlock it for my account. I am ready to pay even 1000 or 1500 crowns for it. But I will never buy any "stamp".

generalmyrick · October 2017

zos sitting on a gold mine and won't/can't exploit it...tragic.

VerboseQuips · October 2017

I was hoping they'd add that dye as a reward for some new achievement (like, for example, getting all new witches furnishing schematics), but of course, they didn't, and of course, like last year, I didn't buy nor won't buy it.

SunnyBunny · October 2017

I bought one - not realizing it was a one time use item and didn't even use it. I an waiting for the perfect costume to put it on ^_^

Myyth · October 2017

its also very unfair and sneaky that certain parts of some costumes can only be dyed with a one time use stamp.

so I have bought stamps just for that reason, because its the only way to completely dye a costume.

randomkeyhits · October 2017

Got one as part of a bundle had a look, realised it was single use and its not my choice of how the colours are placed.

Only reason its not deleted is simply because its been paid for.

Sigtric · October 2017

FWIW the orange die you get for completing vet Falkreath + Bloodroot is a much better orange, IMO

Minyassa · October 2017

I agree that they should just outright sell the colors. Make 'em expensive if they have to be, that's fine, but at least sell them as a dye and not just a one-time application.

nimander99 · October 2017

Yes, if anything, Stamps should just be a permanent color purchase... So you can actually mix and match. I cant honestly imagine people are actually buying these dye stamps...
