Machinist Lunchboxes Should Match Weapons - It is WAY past time.

They arn't using the /gaussbarrel command anymore, change it to /converter and have it hide

...

Are you implying people can't be both forgetful and stupid?

Well of course they can be both. What a stupid question to ask.

You haven't spent much time in the Tales of Duty Finder thread, huh?

I certainly have not, but i'm more interested now.

I ran into a healer today wearing the level 1 mended imperial clothes you receive from the main scenario quests. No they weren't glamoured but they were wearing the actual item. People will surprise you with their forgetfulness or stupidity. Take your pick.

I've been in many parties with many undergeared idiots before, but never someone wearing an actual ilvl 1 piece. I'm not sure if thats fun, or sad XD

[YellowCrystarium]

It was painful for the tank, because she was wearing some of her other white mage armour as well.

[Shurrikhan]

That sounds like a stupid lore excuse to half-ass their weapon design. It shouldn't be any surprise to SE that people want to glam stuff and MATCH. Making a stupidly rigid design choice like that is tremendously short-sighted.

The question is solely whether the man-hours for redesigning the box for every weapon is a worthwhile investment.

I personally couldn't care less. We barely even seem to use the damn thing anymore, and it rarely ever seems to outright clash with the weapon designs, so I'd prefer to merely get the option to hide it and instead get fewer weapons that are mere recolors of those before.

And if we for whatever reason have additional resources to throw at MCH, I'd far prefer a holster and clip, belt, or strap depending on the chest and leg-gear. Not having a pistol floating off my back matters far more to me than a slightly mismatched toolbox.

At the very least, put in the minimum effort and just make an option to hide them so I can lower my annoyance level enough to feel like playing Machinist again.

I agree, even with gear sets that look tailor made for a gunner, the aetherotransformer still had huge clipping issues. I just wish I could solve it by just hiding the darn thing.

Please look forward to it.

[Being a unique custom-made item] is not enough justification. Since the exterior could be easily modified by anyone.

It does mean there's no reason to find a matching custom case for it alongside the antique gun you found in a dungeon. It's a newly-invented device designed to augment pre-existing guns.

If you have a dyeable weapon, the case does change colour to match.

If you have a dyeable weapon, the case does change colour to match.

...and still looks like shi ...uhh...crap...I was totally going to say crap.
