Why do dyes suck so much. :[

Honestly, I love the great game EME is providing, and I could write an entire list of things I like, but nobody would care. So instead, I'll write this rant.

I hate the dye system in this game. Really? It's limited? We have to dye our gear every day/week over and over and over gain? Sense: this makes none!
Then, what's with the base hues you guys chose? I bought a red dye and could select from four hues. ALL FOUR LOOKED PINK. PINNKKK. I didn't mind the pink though because I am a fabulous high elf, but I wanted red, not pink! :(
Though, if you really want to make the community happy and give them the customisation they want, sell us Apothecary dyes through the dye merchant. They let us dye our gear any color of choice from the entire RGB table as seen in CB4. They're perfect!
OH and, please sell dye removal items, they're ever so handy.

k discuss.

Day-long dyes last for 24 hours IN-GAME time. Week-long dyes last for 168 hours IN-GAME time. Chromatic dyes are permanent, and do not fade.

You will, in about two days' time, level to the each successive dungeon and a day leveling into it, and replace your gear before the dye wears off.

It is purely cosmetic, and costs you no real money, since the dunegon run you just had more than makes up for any gold you spent dying your gear.

Uhh, yeah, I know. My main issue is the lack of variety.

I get that, but you are early into the game. More dye colors can be crafted, rather than just sold. Those in the shops are there for convenience, rather than variety, and despite this there are 8 types for both durations. Later on, treasures from dungeons or prizes can result in chromatic dyes, as well as more shades possible in crafted form. As the game progresses, more and more players will start providing these to others.

As a person who likes solid black and solid white coloration, I can "feel your pain" but it will take time to get there.

Oh, well, I had a taste of apothecary dyes in CB4 so the lack of dyes from the shop came as a gigantic disappointment. I'm /really/ into customisation and all that, so yeah. :( Good to know that later on we will get more options though.

The crafted dyes will give you greater varity.

I was selling them on my server and with the white normal crafted dyes you get, if I remember correctly (old age here) 6 hue choices.

The (oh lord senior moment) green label ones give you a choice of 8 or 10 hues.

I didn't get enough mats to make the highest one as it required 50 flakes and 10 or 12 of each of the other six or seven ingredients available.

Also didn't make the one that uses the saffron flower as that one is pretty darn rare to find and I maxed my gathering skills and only had like 5.

That blue treasure chest event... SERIOUSLY needs to come back, or at least be a monthly thing (one day out of the month they pop) or something.

Those dyes were the best things ever.

(For those who might have missed this, it was CBT4 iirc) Randomly chests appeared in open world that you "killed" (took one hit) and they gave you random gifts. Sweet dye was one of them. do want back pleeeez.

The apothecary dye thing in CBT4 was a cruel, cruel joke by EME. :( They give us those lovelies and then just take them away as if they were never there...

Horrible! D:
