Hey guys, just wondering when we are ever gonna just get a coloring system for transmog instead of them making small recolors every now and then? Just make the system and we will do all the coloring work ourselves, you never again need to design random stuff in a new color again… just add colors to the system and let us run with it.
Personally I want it to fix Blood Knight’s Dedication… because why in the fel are the gems blue? nothing about blood knights screams blue gems… let me make em red… or green… or orange for the light… anything but blue, it ruins the whole vibe, and keeps most belf pallies from using it because of that reason. Making the whole recolor pointless.
Just make the system and leave the recolors to us from now on, so we can all have our unique looks on our non unique armor sets lol

Of all the random nonsensical systems they have added to the game over 20 years and abandoned, they can surely figure this out. There are game effects that turn our whole characters different colors, surely they can use something similar to change the shade of gear at least.

Most likely never. And if they did, it would only be for flat-colored pieces moving forward. They paint in layers for these colorations. The system doesn’t work as it is to support color changing like that. They attempted it a couple times earlier to use quick color changing, once in I think BC and then again with Mechagon. Neither panned out.

Theres quite the difference between making a system and reworking the graphics engine

won’t happen ever; they love their recolors too much ): but would be awesome
The game is built almost exclusively around earning different colors.
Allowing people to recolor their stuff on their own would kill 99% of the content rewards, lol.

Wait, and prevent recolors being sold on the shop? Gasp!
They won’t do that. Because, money.
Never? Lol.
It’s not like this game’s foundation was made in 2004 or something lmao. (It was.)
They can’t just add housing, and dyes, and body sliders, like everyone has been requesting for years, nah nah.
If they could, it would’ve been done already. WoW makes stupid amounts of money, at least when it was peak.
What we have now, is ultimately what the game is at it’s core.
They would have to do it in one of two ways…
- Completely redo every piece of armour in the game so it works with a dye system.
- Introduce new armour that can be dyed, and not apply the system to legacy armour.
Considering hardly anyone asks for this anymore, I don’t see them going to all the trouble.
if they add a new system with new armor, they could possibly upload the old model dimensions into the system over time with copy/paste methods… but it would still take work.
It’s not like replacing a tree. You can’t just copy/paste dimensions. There’s a lot more variables at work.
Not a bad idea and actually one I asked my guild when I came over from other mmo.
Sadly answer was never 
. They usually give recolours through other content and is kinda usually their tiering system.
Probably never. Difficulty tied apperence colors is the never ending carrot and stick since everyone knows transmog is the true endgame of wow, letting people just unlock the easiest version and then color it to look like the fancy mythic one would ruin that.
Theyd have to make sets with differences in the models or bigger spell affects to make people keep grinding and they havent done that since like WoD.
I’ve found a workaround in the interim
Equip the color YOU want, and start your own quest for color!
