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

OP,

The point of Lore sets are that they are supposed to be copy + pastes of past games / sets in this game.

Makes no sense to have Malak's armor for example to be blue and orange instead of his colors...you know because it is based off his armor, not some random fan made one, etc.

Keep lore objects the way they are. Hell I just spent a crapton on the Restored armor set...and I'm ok with this reasonable restriction.

Customization restrictions to a patch named 'Customization' seems silly to me. If we can unify the lore sets already then surely we can be 'trusted' to dye them also?

I have a screenshot of a purple Malak jaw and pants. If 'Unify to chest' is allowed then surely your argument goes the way of Alderaan?

Lore sets should not have armor dye restrictions. Especially because many sets are bugged, such as Revans set which is gray rather then black as seen in the flashpoint.

Taking this from back when I played WoW, and the whole deal with Gear Transmogrification sounds similar to the discussion here.

Back on WoW, you could basically T-Mog any armor to look like another piece of gear, with restrictions (I'll list the main three):

-- You can only T-Mog Gear Type for Type (Cloth to Cloth, Mail to Mail, etc.).
-- Gear used for T-Mog Must have a Stat on it (+End, +Agil, etc.)
-- Unless you earned it, specific PvP Gear (Season 1 and earlier) cannot be used for T-Mog.


Now, in retrospect for SWTOR and Gear Recolor/Dyes, Certain restrictions are understandable (Below lvl 15 white, green and blue world drops, Certain Gear Sets, etc.). However I do agree that restricting recolor from most gears either crafted or bought through the CM packs IS NOT a good idea. Too many players wear that gear, and saying specific LORE sets will be restricted will kill a lot of future purchases by players and just make players go back to using more common gear to outfit their characters.

Again, we're also speculating on a feature that has yet to go live on the main servers. So let's wait and see what comes on the PTR (soon I hope) and in the meanwhile KEEP COMMUNICATING to the Devs. Instead of negative waves, keep telling them what you want to see in the game. If anything, the Devs for this game have been a lot more open to the players than most other MMOs out there these days.

Some of the lore sets are fantastic designs, infact they are some of the best. It would be a shame if we could'nt customise them... Especially the Jolee Bindo set, it is one of the only Jedi looking pants/hoodless tunic sets. If this goes through to live, I hope we get some more simple Jedi robes soon.

Glad the dyes are coming though, kudos BW.

Too all those who are claiming that "lore" outfits won't be dye-able because of the lore reasons...

Coming soon in the cartel pack near you

You wouldn't have the need for the alternate one if you were able to dye the first !

If this is true, then so much for enjoying this new feature.... and buying Armor I want from the CM, but do not like the color of.

Yeah, and they will make sure you have to by an entire create just to have one good chest piece, but at least ill have plenty of useless jawagrams doing that.
