I like the idea, but the ability to dye the entire mount would make a lot of them redundant. Why bother getting the black and bay horses for example when you could just dye the brown one those colours? There might still be some demand for different patterns (like the paint or shadowghost horse) or ones with special effects but I imagine overall it would lead to players getting far fewer mounts, or at this point being disappointed at ones they already paid for which are now redundant.

Of course that could be prevented by limiting how much of them is dyable, but I think it would be difficult to strike a balance between making it still seem worthwhile to have multiples of the same animal and making the dye system worthwhile.

Also regarding the luminous mounts issue - players said the same thing when weapon dying was added, when costume dying was added and even back when dyes for armour were first introduced (which was either during the betas or shortly after launch, I don't remember). I doubt bright pink wolves will be any more common that characters in bright pink clothing. And a lot of players would probably use it to tone down some mounts - for example I got the glowing yellow psijic horse from a free crate and I'd love to be able to dye it grey so it looks like smoke.

I think it would be cool if we could at least dye the tacking, but I don’t see why dying more of a mount shouldn’t be a thing. Regarding potential redundancy with skins — GW2 has dyeable mounts and sells a lot of skins and many are not hugely different but have a different pattern on them. Take the Senche mounts in ESO for instance — no matter what colors you pick, you’re not going to get tiger stripes or leopard spots unless the dye channels are set up for this.

They could do something unique like the Indriks mounts where you choose a mount for different types and can update it with armor packs and dyes . It would be a unique mount and not retrospective so it has no effect on existing mounts .

No. Why? Zo$ won't do it. How often have they put the same mount on clown store, but with different colours/shitting rainbows?

After they have enabled toggling off any slot from outfit. I assume that happens about 2030.

Game will be dead by then

I support the uniqueness.

This. I'd love to be able to do it, but reskins wouldn't sell as good as they do now. This won't be implemented, like ever.

I have definitely skipped buying a CS mount because I disliked the saddle or accessories color. Also consider some mounts don't allow you to change the appearance (speed/stam/carry), and dyeing the saddlebags to be less noticeable could help alleviate that restriction.

Dyeing the tack would be awesome. I try to pick mounts that go with my toons, and often the tack is the only jarring note.

I would love that who doesn't want to ride to battle on a shiny pink horse with sparkles.

I have brought this up many times over the past years. It would be great if we could dye our mounts gear to match our own.

Voted yes, but what I really want is the whole outfit idea for mounts. Options for what tack they wear, both in style and "weight" so my tank can ride a more barded horse than the healer, for example. I have a character that would prefer to ride bare-back, with just a bridle. We already have the choice of whether the speed, capacity, and stamina changes show, it's a minor extension to the base tack, especially if the creature is in game with no tack, like the bears, guar and the khagouti.

Dying the saddle-cloth, etc. is a good step in the right direction. Maybe the same dye for free, but outfits are extra, model would be another gold sink.

It would be cool, but I don't think it will happen.
