Guild Uniforms

I know that user created content is being considered for guild crests, emblems and so on.

Keeping that in mind (and hoping it gets implemented), I suggest having Guild Uniforms

How would it work: Joining a guild give players the ability to dye their cosmetics with the Guild's colors. Have the Guild Crest on a shield or the robe they are wearing. During a guild war it would be way more immersive and make players feel part of an army.

The cosmetics would dye their equipped items, not transmog them into an actual guild uniform (self identity is important)

It could also differentiate ranks within the guild. For example, a guild might have Red as primary color and Black as secondary. The foot soldiers would get dye in just those colors. But the next rank gets a gold border between the red and black. And so on and so on until you get to the guild master that has a unique color pallet.

This actually serves a point in combat. The opposing guild can then try and go after high value targets and get them out of the fight first.

I feel that guild identity will play an important role in the game, this adds on top of that.

What does everyone else think?

As far as I can was aware dyes are craftable in the game. I would then put it to the guild to make the dyes themselves and distribute it to their own members.

The crest thing I like though, it’ll be hard to implement but I don’t mind the option of having the crest somewhere on your gear.

While this furthers the idea if guild identity I am not sure if this is something everyone would be okay with, like having a character fantasy of being a colourful bard but having guild colours be grey and brown kinda kills the fantasy potentially. I would argue that if there is an option to dye your armour then why not have this as a guild policy and ask people to dye their stuff in guild colours ?

I wanna answer both at the same time. If the guild say "use dyes for your armor" is actually horrible. They are permanent and you need a new set every time you swap your armor.

As I said before, I think this should be something as simple as "Show Helmet" in other MMOs. Maybe make it part of the Guild Progression so its not free for every guild, but rather those that have been around for awhile.

If guilds start implementing mandatory dyes, it would be horrible for the colorful bard, as now your armor is permanently grey and brown, compared to being grey and brown during a few specific events.

What about guild flags or banners? Have them pop up during PVP themed events. Support characters could have buffs for carrying one, and you could place a small flag on the backpack of every character. Or arm bands.

Arrow fletchings could be in the guild’s colors during the PVP themed events.

Painted shields are also common for the common soldier.

Any plans for coats of arms?

Mount barding should have the colors with the excel of knights who fight under their own colors.

Since I want to create a guild themed around a evil knighthood , I would be all for flags and banners working like that.
