Armor Dye Restrictions, Please let it work for SOME Lore sets.

If you have played with unify color much with respect to lore pieces.. it's almost non-functional IMO, and when it does show any matching... the results are strange.

Have you? It's very functional and quite often very sensible in result.

I make outfits using Cartel pieces all the time, and most of them light up like a rainbow to match my chestpiece. In fact, most of the time it blends quite well because stuff like Revan, Malak, and Carth Onasi's pieces are pretty good at matching colors. Better than a lot of non-lore pieces, in fact, since the lore outfits tend to be simpler and have large areas of flat color.

As far as I can see, I've been bending lore outfits over a desk and violating them chromatically via Unify Colors for months without causing the universe to fracture. Restricting dyes at this point seems like a very odd, arbitrary choice.

Yes I have. I mix and match cartel items for unique appearance all the time. Not all cartel pieces qualify as lore pieces though. Some are, some are not. The rare ones seem to be the most problematic, especially headgear. The more common, the better they color match for some reason. Maybe because they are mostly copies of existing sets in game with changes to the two core colors. In other words they were designed for it. In reality, the more common pieces seem to make the best color matches.. which is fine by me.

So in the end.. maybe it's as simple as: we get to dye pieces that were designed for multiple color palettes to begin with... and the few rare lore pieces will be forbidden because they fixed one or both colors to a specific color. We shall see when the patch pops.

The only armor that has difficult issues when trying to unify is Revans really outside of its set. Rest actually do quite fine. and IF we can remove the stupid restriction on lore items it would be for the better.

Because 500+ people running around in Revan's Robes hasn't already broken the lore?

1) I like that there are some sets that dyeing won't work on. It makes sense in a lot of cases, like gear that's differentiated by a Rated PvP version soley by color. We won't all agree on where the line should be, but I'm glad that it won't work for *everything*.

2) You could always just dye your chest and color-unify every single lore piece spare the chestpiece.

As for the lvl 1 CM wearables, I still think this is an oversight of the guy making the interview : I'm pretty certain he meant under lvl 15 for non moddable greens and blues because since he said there was a restriction on lore items it means there is no restriction on non-lore items so I think there is no restrictions on CM wearables like say relaxed jacket set, matriarchal set, etc...

Besides they'd be hurting themselves because then CM wearables would become second class wearables and everything else orange and purple would be much more desireable since customizable.

I am concerned about the restriction on sets below level 15 that is inferred, considering quite a few of the orange sets are level 1. If the restriction stays in place, however, I am still overjoyed that the system even exists and would like to commend Bioware for that FANTASTIC addition.
