FrancisN.9276 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Many of the gemstore weapon skins are great-looking, especially the new exo theme ones, but their color theme may not suit everyone's taste. I believe by giving dye channels to weapons (even if just gemstore weapons), it will generate a huge plus to the revenue of selling these. 3 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farohna.6247 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 It's been discussed to the point of exhaustion, and they have said no it is too much work at this point. Would I love to see it, yes. Will it happen, nope. And fortunately there are so many choices that you're bound to find one that will work for your aesthetic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 It’s apparently a massive coding job 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisN.9276 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Please don't get me wrong. I am ok with not paying for the gemstore weapons whose color theme puts me off. What I suggest is simply a way for them to make more money from the weapon skins that they have work hard to design and create. Whether it is much coding, meshing, texturing, they can be assured that their work pays off (by a lot, compared to putting out a skin with a single color theme). 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterbrady.2167 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I always enjoy customization options. I can't speak to the difficulty for the devs. Just saying that I would enjoy it if it happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it is much coding, meshing, texturing, they can be assured that their work pays off (by a lot, compared to putting out a skin with a single color theme). It’s not that simple. The decision to make weapons dyeable or not was one that needed taking during development. They chose not to. To do so now, would not only create massive extra coding they simply have no resources for, but given it’s legacy code, would introduce tons of bugs and - in their words - a “non trivial patch” This isn’t a new request. It has been asked a huge number of times as another poster said above. The door has been shut firmly on it so far and that’s because of a barrier that so far seems insurmountable. The recoup costs from the gemstore appear to not be enough to outweigh the obstacles. They could do what the did with backpacks and make future ones with a dye channel and not backdate. Whether that is doable I don’t know. Id be happy to see it to as it’s such a popular qol request, but I don’t envision it ever happening based on their previous comments Edited June 10, 2023 by Randulf.7614 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Hayes.6890 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I don't need them to change the code. I just want them to release this skin in multiple colors. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether that is doable I don’t know. I think that is all that OP was really asking for. It's been quite a long time since we've seen this first for backpacks so it's actually kind of weird this is still not a thing for new gemstore weapons, especially considering that backs can be hidden but weapons cannot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August.5934 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) Just as my title used to says but now it's merged into this post FORCEABLLY!. I know not a single game that has dye for weapons....wait, there is one; BDO but no other game. GW2 have so many nice skins and weapons and just been able to dye a weapon could change the whole game's fashion! That one greatsword that looks really sick! but we have to dye our gear to match the weapon which someone could look underwhelming but if we could dye weapons tooo... imagine all those awasome set we could make to make our character look very cool!

Biziut.3594 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) What if we could dye our weapons too? We would definitly have less topics asking the for the same thing. Edited August 7, 2023 by Biziut.3594 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 It would be great, but they have made it clear they are not planning to add that feature. Also there are sooooo many choices, surely one matches a color scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freya.9075 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 While I like this idea as I would dye all my weapons pink and baby blue (go team cute rat!), I do not think they will add this feature. Nor do I think it's a good idea to do so even if I want it. There are many different skins that look the same with different colors as well. What would happen to these skins if they add this? Like sab weapons and the different flamesaw greatswords. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
