Probably has to go through some kinda approval process first, make sure its worth allocating time and resources to an old item, and then the time it takes to do the actual change.

Any backpack or glider that has been released before they introduced dyeable backpacks and gliders has the same problem. Apparently, the change could not be retroactively implemented on previously released items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwake.7013 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Remember, CS is NCSoft people, not anet. Most of them know very little to nothing about the game or statements made by anet devs that aren't announcements. Pretty sure it has been said they wont go back to update stuff for these kinda things, but will just try to make future ones have the options. (note, not saying it's impossible to happen just improbable) ofc things can change as such statements were made quite a while ago, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Unless it has recently changed, it is not NCSoft that offers support, but ArenaNet.That does not mean that the CS Team is always up-to-date on all changes, but they are ArenaNet employees.

Some gliders not having channels wasn’t a technical thing like backpacks, but a design decision not to have the channels assigned. It was glider effects that lacked dye channels until later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are more than a small handful of gliders that can't be dyed. Can only think of two off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzarakiel.7490 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I think Anet said at some point that the reason they don't add dye channels to undyeable objects is because it would permanently alter the base color and it might be impossible to make it look excactly like it used to when players bought them , which could ruin said item for players who already liked them.

medivh.4725 Posted December 26, 2020 Author Share Posted December 26, 2020 I want to mention during the gemstore purchase it was not mention if which can or cannot be dyed. So I was left angry to realise my glider cannot be dyed. Whiles some others can. At end of day, gamers just want a glider set that match the outfit. I would gladly take a refund for something else with that flexibility. My outfit keeps changing during the course of game so I do not want to be struck with something that is in 1 color. Besides it enhance the item's value as well as the satisfaction of a purchase. I do hope you get approval required for it as it serves the GW2 community in the long run.

It always seemed depending on the category of the ticket it'd be sent to one or the other. However in recent years the majority always seem to be handled by NCSoft people if it was anything outside of sololy being game related bugs. This could though be totally my misperception and I couldn't find any clarifying statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
