Alright, so you spend 10gold (which isn't cheap) on brand new fashion. But bam! It comes out in the most horrible colors imaginable i.e. pants are green, top is blue, shoes are white. You want to look good in the fashion, right? Well in order to get the colors you want you have to either
  • Spend a lot more money on random pigments and hope you get a matching pair (which is almost impossible)
  • Spend more money on pigments again almost impossible to get the dies you need.
  • Bye dies from players

I don't know about you guys but it is VERY ANNOYING, that fashion is given out at a random color, after spending a lot of gold on it to buy it I'd AT LEAST expect it to "look good" Would you go to the cloths and want random colored clothing? No, I don't think anyone would.

My point is not to remove pigments (obviously this won't happen anyway) But to enable players to pick the color they want or AT LEAST make the set a matching color.

I'll use an example - I just saved up for some fashion for my male sin. The pants came out dark blue, that's fine I wanted a black or white but I wasn't too fussed. The shoes came out yellow. Again wasn't too fussed as the shoes are minor. Finally, the pants came out dark green. I was disappointed but tried them on anyway only to find I look like a complete idiot aka a clown. So I looked into pigments, buying from the IM would be stupid as the colors you get are random thus you will be there forever, so I looked in cat shops the adverage price for a pigment on our server is 100k.

My jacket needed 8 pigments = 800k
Shoes needed 1 pigment = 100k
Top needed 6 pigments = 600k
In total I would need to spend over a mil to get a reasonable looking set. Not even the color I wanted. If I wanted the set black I'd need to dish out over 9mil in coin. So I wasn't happy, no.

If I somehow had MAJOR GODS LUCK, and brought the pigments from IM thats an addon of +7.5gold (On a scale here the odds of getting the pigments you need are 1 in 1000)

Here is another story:
A friend of mine (MsSindel) brought a set for her barb BF, the entire set came out pink, after spending $15 on the set, I don't think she wants to spend any more just to get it looking "respectable"

So for gods sake, PWI please look into this.

Here are some solutions:
-Add ALL the pigments to the IM, enable players to buy pigments 1 at a time (making it A LOT easier to get the pigments they want instead of getting VERY random ones from the hot pigment pack)

-Allow players to pick he color they want I would highly recommend this, due to the price of the fashion as a set in total, I don't think you will get many happy customers who have to spend more coin/gold for the correct pigments.

    Already been suggested before, more than once.

    But I do agree we should be able to choose our own colors.

    I would sudgest that they use both a set of color blocks and a graduaded color wheel with a grayscale shade adjuster simular to the fashion preview only with an added color number identifier so you can duplicate the same color by it numbers. More color diversity would be nice too. Then when the item is the way you want it you buy it. Wow just like a real store.... we can only pray for common sense to prevail. Until then I'm not playing this fashion game!

    I honestly think PWI fashion being bought from the cash shop has a higher chance of coming out **** green than any other color.
    I've bought quite a bit of fashion, so I see the rate of green I get. It sucks.
