Rather than making new gear for a Pride set, what if instead a Toy were created that would temporarily transform your gear into a Pride theme?
Essentially it’d be like something this:
Only it’d transform you into a Pride-themed appearance instead.
I think this would be really cool and help boost representation. Of course, the Toy should have a short (or no) cooldown given that it’s simply a personal appearance changer.
I’m not opposed to this, but I recall there being dev talk previously about how dyes simply won’t work with their engine (I think this was back in WoD?)
Dyes would certainly solve a lot of problems. I don’t disagree with that.
If they can click a box for color then click on the armor they are creating for the next major patch or expansion to add color, then they can add in game dye.
The goal is to post something inflammatory enough that a psycho rightwinger and a psycho leftwinger will get into it enough for normal people to start injecting their less-intense opinions until the thread gets to 500 replies and then 404’d.
Well then they can make a model of each armor set with a color palette. When you select your color choice it changes models. There are a number of items already with various color options, just needs to be expanded on.
They do. They’re called “recolors.” But they don’t make tons of them, because due to the types of rendering and shading, they have to either give a blank slate with a flat color for dyes or spend an entire expansion revamping every single piece of armor in the game for a new armor system.
They haven’t done this yet. Maybe someday. But it’s not as easy as people think.
