Ok this is posted in another message too but I'll place it here...


Before the "big patch" I could make a wookiee jerkin with 1 color change. The change affected the BIG part of the jerkin. Aka made it all purple. After the big patch and after I made it to Domestic arts IV ... I can only change the tiny patch on the jerkin. I only have 1 color choice. Same for EVERY article of clothing I Can make!! I know most of these have 2 color options, but I can't access a second color selection?? Anyone else having this issue?

i was just having the same issue. i thought i was losing my mind when i couldn't change the majority of the color for an item. i was hoping to find a solution to this on the boards. perhaps i needed to press the shift key or something to change the other color lol.


Any help would be appreciated

No response yet eh .. I'm on Rori on Tempest so there's not a single tailor to consult about this issue. It can't be everyone because people would be screaming about it.

Well for the second color pallette you need Novice Tailor. But the messed up/reversed pallettes area different issue

I was having this problem with patterened wookiee gloves. No matter what color I made the gloves they turned out grey. The pattern could be different colors but the gloves were always grey.

Many 2-color items had their colors reversed in the latest patch, meaning that if you don't yet have Novice Tailor, you can only adjust the secondary color, not the primary color. It also means that color selection on items such as Striped Pants is illogical (color 1 is secondary, color 2 is primary).


There are two other big problems with coloring. The first is that some items have 3 colors, and the two that you can adjust aren't always the most sensible. The second is that some items are bugged and only let you select white for a particular part of an item. Luxorious Gowns are a perfect examples of both. They have three colors: one for the gloves and bodice, one for the frilly trim down the front, and one for the skirt bit underneath the trim. However, the gloves and bodice can't be adjusted at all (they're stuck at an ugly dark teal), and the color selector for the skirt only has white available, meaning that the only part of the gown you can actually change is the trim. How lame is that?


We need a fix for white-only palettes.


We need a third color selector for items with three colors (or at least a fix so that the more prominent two can be adjusted).


And of course, we still need the 55 master colors, but I'm not gonna whine about that too much, since Q says it should be fixed soon.

Before the colour switcharound of the big patch, you could change the bodice and sleeves on the exquisite gown, but not the scarf and lace overlay, or skirt underneath. With the fixed color of the scarf and lace at black, and the underskirt at white this was almost acceptable, as any colour goes with those.

Now you can change the lace and scraf but not the bodice, which Jyron mentioned is an awful dull teal colour. Its great we can change the lace, but not alot goes with the teal, so we are even more limited than before. By both technical restrictions and by good taste

Is there a list being compiled of items that have limited colour change areas with this patch?

The only ones I am aware of so far are:

* Exquisite Gown (as above)
* Sigiled Waist Wrap (main wrap is stuck at pale green, can only change leather panel colour and sigil/sidepanel colour)
* Pocketed Shorts (main area is stuck at beige, colour 1 is belt and colour 2 is buckle)

I've only been coming across these as customers order them, so there are lots I haven't looked at yet. If anyone else has noticed other major colour problems with items, could you list them so I can change my displays to be up to date? (Oh and so others know about them as well!)

Thanks

All the more reason to get on the ball and hot fix the color issues. Eh Devs?


Color is probably the simplest to fix as there are many more visual bugs with some items, but i think a color fix would appease a good many of us temporarily.


But at least fix the color swapping and inability to change some colors on certain items. Also, is the light bustier supposed to be 1 tone? The 1st color is just white and unchangeable, just strange.
