Dye system will never exist. They don’t create armor compatible with dyes. It’s why we have recolors.

What are “mount abilities?”

Don’t we already have cosmetic gear?

People would riot lmao

Oh, god. I can see it now. GD would be on fire

Would this be certain mounts having unique functions? Cause I would love that
but they went in the opposite direction with waterstriders/waterwalking mounts.

Or mounted combat?? Going through the Venthyr storyline, was a blast flying through the air as General Draven–diving and clawing at enemies. If they made mounted combat like this, hell ya.

Can’t wait!!

Renown cap increase
Sink more tokens/gold for legendaries
More choreghast
Maybe another awful zone and chores like korthia
Another patch without significant class tuning changes

Dye system will never, ever happen. And honestly that’s not a shot at Blizzard. At this point it’s an unreasonable expectation. Just accept that it was a limitation of the engine at this point.

See they indeed could add it. The problem will be that it requires reworking
everything. Expansions and expansions and expansions of items would need to be redone. That amount of effort would be monumental.

When I mention this the general counter was “Well then only allow us to dye new items” but let’s be real. People would not accept that limitation and be happy.

We all know how that would play out “Lawls small indie company why even bother Blizzard this system is trash. Garbage game!!”.

That said, they should make a serious effort to recolor things, especially old sets(
hey, look at that timewalking reward! Recolored cosmetics from whatever era! Jesus just make it happen Blizzard). So that we have more options and stuff.

Well who knows what he envisions. But I really wish they’d fleshed out the mount system a bunch instead of this crappy mount equipment we got.

Things like

  • Frogs that can jump Faaaaaar
  • Goats can go up more vertical inclines
  • Lizards that can be used in caves(
do
we even really HAVE lizard mounts?)
  • Turtles that are slightly slower but immune to daze
  • Cheetash being slightly faster but definitely dazed
  • Mammoths/Elekks knock back enemies you ride through\
  • Forgot the obvious: Waterstriders have water walking :expressionless:

Etc.

Well they should start to consider a dye system because every major MMORPG has it.

Have you played GW2? You should try it, their mount system is amazing.

We were promised back in WOD/MOP time that they were looking to create vanity gear for our characters like Quivers and Paladin books.

The idea was to create a slot that would visually change something about your character. It had no special abilities other then for looks and to be implimented into professions.

I am hoping they can give me a reason to stay. I still don’t think they grasp player frustrations.

Neat.

I have no idea what I’m looking at.

But it is shiny.

Someone on wowhead said perhaps it could be representing the 12 classes (the small runes) and 3 combat role (big runes)

I’m probably crazy, but I swear I read something about them trying to do a dye system for TBC but they couldn’t quite figure it out, and that’s why some of the TBC sets have such outlandish colors, because they were set up to be dyed then the system was scrapped.

The more I think about it the more it sounds like something I imagined.

Just because everyone does it, doesn’t mean we should lose the quality of how our armor shading and textures look for a dye. I play other MMOs with dyes. I’m glad we don’t have it in this game. I like variety and differences. I like recolors that they do to keep the integrity of how the shading and colors work.

I’d love a dye system. I’m just also realistic and don’t think Blizz would ever implement it.

17

A dye system would also remove the vanity off of certain cosmetic rewards. Like elite pvp gear.

18

Can we be realistic for about two second with the dye system idea: they would have to redesign the armor system and make it so 17+ years worth of gear have access to dyes and do not bug out.

I’ll bet it’s legendary weapons.

Basically our own runeblades.

They’ve actually have said they were looking to impliment a lot of these types of things but never come to fruition.

They can impliment a dye system, they’re just lazy or holding on to it for when WOW is really in the dirt.
