Coloring Options for Craftable Armor/Clothes?

Axel_karefAxel_karef Member Posts: 279

If they can't then we've got problems. I mean I have faith in Blizzard but if there are NO alternate colors for armor and EVERYTHING is the EXACT same color on EVERYONE...that's just gonna get boring. That was one of the worst parts of FFXI. SWG made it so that you can change the color of Composite armor at any time you wanted, but it didn't change much because everyone wore composite in the same damn colors anyway.

I'd like to have maybe a clothes/armor dying system UO style. Maybe the Alchemists could have a recipe for a dying tub? ::::28::

Is there already a system for atleast the crafters to vary armor colors? Pllleeeeeeeeease I want to beable to make custom orders to blacksmiths for whatever colors I want. Avatar appearance and originality is VERY important to me as I'm sure it is to many others. Has a coloring system been implimented in beta yet? If nothing else than atleast let the crafters choose when they're makin it.

    Blizzard has given the thumbs up on coloring clothes and armors. You can even have different patches and such sewn into armors and clothes.

    About being implemented in beta, I am not sure. It doesn't seem important to anyone at the moment. I just want them to work out current bugs so I can get in there and have a whack at 'em. The bugs I mean. I just want beta testing to be over with so that we can play a complete game.

    Blizzard said that one TS would include dying, I think. I have no idea which one it is at the moment. I might just be making it up in my own little universe. Sometimes I get so excited about a game I start inserting my own fiction into the facts about the game, so yeah. Not sure who does the coloring.

    I know for a fact that Blizzard has said they will implement it, and that is why you will see my green troll running around with a green whelping with green and black armor on. On the Troll. I won't waste money buying anything but food and water for the dragon thing.

    Not quite broke, but close.  Tice try and I feel just as happy as you.  I bet you anything thought that this will be one of the many parts of the game left out of the beta completely ( I mean its not really that test-worthy anyways, you could do that with one char to make sure it works)

    Theyll probabaly add a feature like this after the game goes to retail or maybe even in open beta. But right now its purely cosmetic and is LOW on their priority list at this stage in beta. Right now they are working on polishing all the low lvl areas/dungeons that are from lvl 1-20 areas. Which means those areas are basicly done and they just need touching up. Now theyll start working on upper lvl areas and end game content then add Hunters and the rest of the talents... Lot of other things that need to be done but those are just a few. So I dont think well see a "color your armor" option for awhile. Good Idea though cuz the armor now just looks so blah with the current colors!

    In my opinion, the Alliance beginner levels are ready to go. but when you look on the other side of the spectrum at the Horde lands, it all seems barren and empty. I know that's how most of it is supposed to be, but it just seems like a lot is missing and is yet to be added. I hope Blizzard doesn't rush it like a lot of games are being done today and do things the right way.

    I don't want it ending up like Halo with 2d trees and indestructible monsters in some parts/glitches of the game.

    Yea I can understand that they're trying to polish up the dungeons and cities that haven't gotten lovin yet, which is mostly the Horde cities. But I would think that colorization of armor would be just as important. Little customizable things like this is what can REALLY improve the game. I'm allready not too happy with the char creation in WoW, players need originality. I don't want WoW to be another FFXI, with you running around the city and every third person looks EXACTLY like you do.

    And lol bethel. It'd be cool if you could have text on ur armor. Or emblams.

    I'm not sure about this but cant you get your guild emblem on you armor? That would be pretty cool if you can do that, I also think you can create your own logo::::02::.

    Yea guilds can design their own guild tabbards, it's kinda like a tunic thing over ur armor. It's pretty cool

    I'm going to have a NE guild with the owl emblem, you may be asking what our guild name is gonna be.HOOTERS!!! jk...

    But that would be funny, also I was pretty sure you could create just about anything you wanted, they probably are still working on all that stuff though. I dought that the first thing they would be worried about is the guild emblems, they will probably get the game squared away before they go into the small details that will follow.

    I wish they would allow you to create your own Guild symbols. My friend that I am planning on maybe starting a Guild with is pretty handy with Photoshop an Adobe or what ever, and he has made some pretty cool designs in the past.

    I was thinking he could just create something small and symmetrical and we can have that, but I guess a lot of people would try to add stuff to their Guild symbols and Blizzard would just be flooded with people asking permition if they could use what ever as their Guild symbol. I wish they had the Seals from each of the races, atleast. Oh well.

    It would be possible to do that Lost, I've heard of a few smaller MMORPGs that let you submit ur own textures/designs to be uploaded into the game, after it was checked by a GM. I think it would be possible for Blizzard to do that, but they'd have to hire a few more people that did nothing but check player-submitted designs. It probly wouldn't be cost effective or some crap, but here's hoping.

    i think coloring is very important for the game.  With colloring even if everyones wera the same armor noon will look identical.also guilds usually have guild collours which makes dying even more important thing to add
