dye

[@FrithRa]

This right here perfectly encapsulates why everyone at Fan Fest cheered so damn loud when they revealed gear would be getting 2 dye patterns in Dawntrail.

[@MudkipsAreEpicWin]

Dyes should actually be such a non problem for servers to handle that there is 0 reason we don't have it as good as guild wars 2 players. Especially when we have no where close to as many dyes.

[@double_joseph327]

@@MudkipsAreEpicWinat least we have it.. unlike wow lol

[@OneTrueAmid]

@@MudkipsAreEpicWin Dyes aren't handled in the same form as GW2. In GW2, they're changing a vector, which can be changed with a tweak of RGB values. In XIV, it's swapping between models of different colors. It's the same for each player hair color, style, face combo, etc. You're not adjusting a free form model, or a mask on top of that model, you're changing to a completely different rendered model that is consciously created for that purpose. It's why when new dyes are added it's usually either one at a time or a small batch - they've added a new render of hundreds of models. It's stupid, but yeah. That's why we don't have dyes in the same form as GW2.

[@sebasfealunn4408]

@@OneTrueAmid I would like to know the source of your info about changing entire models. It would make more sense if you said that they have textures applied on a model per dye. Having copy of entire model just to pair it with different texture sounds like idiocy and I believe that if it worked that way the game would take up several times more disk space.

[@ApathyKnight]

@@sebasfealunn4408 Spoiler: it doesn't work the way they said at all. Models are not being swapped.

[@LiquidOrcana]

The eternal issue with dyeable gear that transcends games I can't count how many times I've had this exact moment in FFXIV or MH

[@untoldsstories4164]

Thank God they're adding dual dyes because this happened to me too in WAY too many glams

[@KazyEXE]

Now we can dye both the belt and the swirls on the sides separately!

[@falcontomto]

do we know if they are adding dual dyes to old gears retroactively? there are TONS of glams i want them to have dual dyes rn.

[@untoldsstories4164]

@@falcontomto Afaik, yes! They said in one of the fanfests that they would slowly roll out the update on all glams and that it would take a while considering how many items there are in the game overall

[@peachy_lili]

cries happily in educand's attire couldn't make the uniform I wanted because it's all forced to one monochrome color evenly. so you literally can't do a white shirt without the collar also being white

[@Alissandre_Iskander]

Let me tell you... going from numerous dye (and texture) channels in BDO to just... one in FFXIV... as someone that enjoys playing with dye... I wiped away a few tears.

[@Xport9]

A guy with dual shotgun once told me in a lobby: *"DYE! DYE! DYE!"* He leaves and refuses to elaborate.

i have to say you made me do a dungeon 20 times to drop the Nabaath Pendulums for my sage cowboy outfit... thank you 🤍

[@Shinywindow]

That dungeon is so hard for healers omg i'm happy you got them 🤠

[@Aviii_]

lmao Malikah's Well sounds like it was perfectly optimized to be annoying to farm Lvl. 77, where it's too high to reasonably solo unsync, but low enough to give you the tiniest hope and despair at being able to party unsync it but not being able to find people to do it And the annoying adds at the ends that stops the wall to wall pulls, because they slowly transform and you have to stop and kill them, ugh And it's a weapon so it's lost in the pool of like 20 other job weapons ughhhhh

[@kfchero2]

I know this feeling all too well, there is always a piece of armor I want to dye but the dye is actually on the stupidest shit

[@Werdieloo]

or the part you want to dye is the one part that won't dye *glares at White Mage gear*

[@twilightfire93]

I actually do like those pants since, on females, the pattern goes all the way down the legs and looks way better with dyes. Still shitty that it doesn't on males, but hopefully with the dye channels it'll be better on both fronts.

[@captainkronos]

Once they add the second dye channel, the white part will hopefully also be dyeable!

[@lezard2102]

Or they'll make it so that the belt dyes one color and the tribal design on the sides another color

[@NajaSide]

@@lezard2102honestly what im anticipating 😭

[@boanoah6362]

They've already said the dual dye channels would be added in waves so it might be a while for these pants...

[@HezrouDhiaga]

This video reminds me how excited I am for dawntrail redoing the dye system 😂

[@LittleDinoGacha]

Those pants on a female character have the pattern going all the way down the legs so there's more places to dye

[@SniperKing-O]

Everytime you get a really great glam and it dyes IN THE WRONG PLACE!!!! Thank god we're getting two dye channels next expansion. 😂

[@vehicle1750]

FFXIV moment.

[@rinnnnnnnnnnrinRinOnishi]

No idea why the devs thought people would only wanna dye that tiny accent part...

[@Grimnoire]

Sometimes it looks gaudy, especially when the accents can't be dyed.

[@Jinxy_Jackal]

I hate when that happens

[@MinnySteppa]

"fuckyy fuckyy fuckyy"

[@pumpkingamebox]

Dawntrail is said to have brought many great things with it.

[@soldierorsomething]

Oof, with Dawntrails double dye system the gear sets from The Drowned City of Skalla might finally dye better

[@th0rne_999]

The black dye kind of looks like your channel icon 💀

[@dains6623]

It's pretty sad it took them that long to add 2 dyes

[@centxiv]

waiting patiently for slot 2

THE PAIN. THE PAINNNNNNNN
