Because people think that having black armor proves something.

I've actually had people ask me why I didn't dye my armor black, since I could obviously afford it.

Me: I had 150k a month ago.
Them: And you still have green armor?
Me: wtf?

You know some people might just like the way it looks when dyed black?

...

That said, I have to say Monument Armour looks disgusting dyed black

MBP · Dec 24, 2007, 09:45 PM // 21:45

that's why my monument hood is blue

I was originally going to dye my derv's primevil black cause i thought it looked good, but once i tried orange+brown, it looked too sweet for me to go with my original plan of black.

Kusandaa · Dec 24, 2007, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Yeah, most people dye it black because it looks leet. Another part like black because it DOES look good on some armor. Don't have anything against the second type, it's the first type I can't stand and who give a bad name to the second.

I chose to dye mine yellow+green. I think I've seen another with a similar green, but since everyone has it black or white, that didn't matter much to me.

Well, its not a "fact" that it looks bad when dyed black. Its an opinion. Some people truly feel their armor looks better in black. In some cases, in my semi-professional opinion, I agree.

Of course there's also a huge percentage of the population that buys things simply because they're expensive, and doesn't care how they look. I can't count how many people I've known in GW who think you're a noob because you have a cheap (or nonexistant) minipet.

Mine is dyed white.

Holy · Dec 25, 2007, 04:28 AM // 04:28

ive been looking into the Derv proffesion...i have monk, war, ele, ranger, necro. I am looking for something more fun, and of course, some armors to go for. primeval imo for Derv. is horrible. my fav, i have to admit is female Elonian dyed red.

on the black topic. Black may make some armors look better, but for the msot part it doesnt. monk 15k Luxon black ftw tho

Darkside · Dec 25, 2007, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Primeval armor is ugly...black or not why would anyone wanna run around with dead fish bones hanging from their armor.

Sirius-NZ · Dec 25, 2007, 10:32 AM // 10:32

I dye all my armour green... then again that's largely a product of the character's name and Battletech more than stylistic preferences, but it is at least fairly different.

I own Two sets of Black Primeval for my Dervish. One is a 130 Set, the other is a normal set. I like black because it's one of my favorite colors, I think the armor looks good with it on, and it displays that I can afford it. Yeah. I actually do something with the money sitting in my storage. Flame me.

It's all preference...if you don't like black dye or primeval armor then don't get it...don't go around telling people not to get a certain armor just because you don't like it. Simple really.

Baraden · Jan 02, 2008, 05:48 PM // 17:48

My bro died his primeval black, not to show off, but because 1) he had never dyed any armor black before 2) he thought it went well with the creepy feel of the bones on the armor and 3) nothing creeps you out more than an emo dervish in black armor with bones hanging off his belt. :P

Bassu · Jan 02, 2008, 07:33 PM // 19:33

I have every armour in the game, beside a Primeval one. It just looks damn bad IMO - fishy-style reminds me of this ugly fish-like Necro armour.
I'd say brown+black Norn is FTW!

Black is not a colour. It's a tone.

Sirius-NZ · Jan 02, 2008, 11:14 PM // 23:14

Depends whose definition of colour you use... it has no hue, that much is certain.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, black is a colour. Therefore it is a colour, not a tone.

Sirius-NZ · Jan 03, 2008, 04:40 AM // 04:40

Black probably is a tone as well.

Dervish Kid · Jan 03, 2008, 05:53 AM // 05:53

Just about95% of the dervs i see with ancient armour dye it black.. Mine is light greenish colour. Green+orange

Raccoon · Jan 07, 2008, 03:04 AM // 03:04

I just don't understand why people want to look like some idiot dressed in rags and fish bones.
