Just to put her armor in the HoM. I got the last 2 pieces of her FoW finally

Shes got the OLD BLACK DYE. That should say how long ago I got it for her, well the HoM didnt dye her armor when placed. So just a warnig to others out there if you have old dye color on your armor.

The armor you dedicate changes colors from time to time. I have black dyed Primeval armor and when I go into my HoM sometimes it appears brown or red or black. I dont know what causes this but it is very facinating. Try going in and out of your hall a few times to experiment.

Sometimes my armors change colors according to what color the other ones are. I've put my elite Dragon (green), my elite Glads (was blue, now gold again, should check if it updated), and my elite Templar (red). Sometimes my Dragon is red, sometimes green, sometimes it goes back to the old default color for War armors, that yellowy color.

The HoM displays all armours with the same dye combination as the armour you are wearing (at least in my experience).

I'm guessing this messes up if you're using "old" dyes though.

The armors are coloured the same colous as the chest piece you are wearing when you enter the HoM

I've got an old red/orange dye colouring on my Ele's geo armour. It looks like the old default colour in HoM (ie that purple colour). I'm thinking that it just goes old default when it comes up against old dye colour.

On the plus side -- 4 black dyes will fix that right up for you

Edit: In the above shot -- the monky has black (albeit 'old black') chest piece armour on.

I dont like the new black dye

Yes I know about the color of the armors you wear when you enter as shown here.

now when you look at the one with the old black dye again you see the armors on HoM is different for the other armors too. Which could be the default color schemes.

EOTN armor would dye red with the "old" dye remover. And the other armors in this beige/light brown color.

Your black seems to be treated like old style dye remover!

It doesn't really matter since HoM doesn't record dye, just the type of armor. The purpose of the monument is not to show an exact replica of your gear but to act as a mechanism of unlocking (as of yet unannounced) benefits in GW2.

This happens to my Ranger when I am wearing my 1k druids in the HoM my 15k is gray.It only changes when I put on the 15k druids and Mani atleast you have your FoW armour unlike mine.I would be happy either way.

Same prob here, pre dye shiny metalic blue. The tards changed the setup overnight a long time ago without mentioning it. Just happenned to be that I bought 2 spare pieces (leg and chest piece) the next day and waisted 500k as I couldn't dye them in the shiny blue anymore and salvaged the pieces. Tx Anet, now give me back my 500k, because that's what I lost because of your bad communication about the topic.

Contacted support at the time (not about that 500k but about the dye setup), they can't do a thing for us it seems. And I don't see them fix the hall at this point either. We're a very very small minority.

i dont think HoM records the dye i think its only the armor and thats whats importent anyways

Shanaeri Rynale · May 22, 2008, 12:34 PM // 12:34

The armor is dyed the same color as the chest peice you wore when you last clicked 'view monument' In some cases(e.g with old black) the new dye system does'nt know how to re-create it so it defaults to the armor's 'natural' color. So in some cases old black mesmer FoW showed as green, for example.

Does'nt matter in the scheme of things, but it is a pain.

Zahr Dalsk · May 22, 2008, 12:37 PM // 12:37

Try putting on new black dye if it matters that much.

Or use TexMod and change it y'self.

I've got the same issue with my Mesmer. I've got an Old-dye combo on her armor, but the HoM displays it with the default color. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a new dye combo that even remotely matches the color I've got. I'm very reluctant to change it since I'd never be able to get this color back.

Rothan Celt · May 22, 2008, 12:52 PM // 12:52

Chest armor = HoM armor dye

Exactly, it's very unique. Playing 3 years now and I never encountered someone with the same colour as I have. That's something in a game like Guild Wars where customization is quite limited and where it's hard to stand out of the crowd.

Wise Wiki already informs me:

If the dye on your armor is from before the Nightfall dye update, then the displayed armor will be the standard color of that profession.

THIS makes me an unhappy camper:

Try looking past THAT, every time you enter the HoM.....Dammit Kos, have some shame!!!

pumpkin pie · May 22, 2008, 05:32 PM // 17:32

armor color follow the chest piece, of what ever you are wearing when you enter HoM.

also you don't have to buy all 5 pieces to place armor in HoM, 4 is enough.

please read this if you are interested.
