    Are those dyes attainable in-game as well? It would be rather greedy considering those are some of the most requested colors.

    Black (obviously) has been requested by the community many times.....  Can you guess who will have the most sales purchases?

     RMT! j/k but still kinda silly, since players have been asking for this as people have said.

    Don't worry i'm sure they will add a cash shop where you can bye dyes soon. =]

    Well this is rather unfair. I can understand that they are trying to promote more people to buy it during the holidays but they are completely leaving out the rest of the players. I know that I would love to get some black dyes...

  • FusionFusion Member UncommonPosts: 1,398

    Pitiful.

    http://neocron-game.com/ - now totally F2P no cash-shops or micro transactions at all.
  • BalechnayBalechnay Member Posts: 20

     In order to reward those who purchased the game....then it says available at retailers...who's reward?? Sounds like another micropurchase. Let the Micro-purchases begin!

    Moo. There. Are you happy now?

    Way to boost box sales.  Not like existing customers wouldn't re-purchase the game to get hard-to-find dyes.  Oh no, of course not...and not like NCSoft couldn't brag about those record box sales... 

     

    Lame.  Anyone not seeing a RMT item shop around the corner is deluding themselves...

    Yea there's some wow fanboy saying on RMTs who wouldn't have guessed this?

    This is just a promotion to get more money and newcomers get rewards like when you bought the game you had free stuff.

    The dyes are gotten ingame too, don't believe me? search it aion armory.


  • F2PMMOF2PMMO Member UncommonPosts: 122

    It could have been better. Meaning, they could have let the game speak for itself.

    Its not 1, is 10, like the purple dye, and all characters get it.

     

    This is some bull though, what about those of us who actually want white dye withotu buyign the damn game again.

    Wow. So those of us who already own the game have to purchase another copy to get this stuff? Fail.

  • XasapisXasapis Member RarePosts: 6,337

    Those dyes are already in the game.

    Yeah and I even said it yet people didn't care about it just want it handed free..

    Well people your getting the vet reward that is given when you play for a month they wont.


  • XasapisXasapis Member RarePosts: 6,337

    After some digging, I am unsure on how some of the dyes are given in the game. I know for certain that pedals are all derived from gathering plants. According to some links I checked, some of the "true" dyes are given as a reward for forum participation in a constructive manner in Korean forums. I don't know how they are planning to distribute them in EU/US.

    I've also read that the end game tier armors can't be dyed (abyss, draconic etc.).

    Apart from the gathering bit that I have first hand experience, please read the following information with reservations regarding its validity.

  • BloodaxesBloodaxes Member EpicPosts: 4,662

    When I searched on aion armory people said that the true black dye drops from bosses.

     Oooh, a mustard colored dye, some potions!?!?! Thats all I ever wanted for christmas, besides my 60 dollars back for buying the game. Still not enough to make people want to play it imo.
