Unaugmented AF2+2 Storage

[Kristal]

Can't the devs just modify the slips to take the augmented OR the unaugmented version (but never both). This would work by accepting the item, and making a separate mark whether you gave the augment or unaugmented version. When you go to receive the item, the game reads the additional mark and gives back the correct stage of item.

They can't. The current system cannot differentiate between different versions of the same item. It can either accept and return an item with 1 specific augment, or one without any. Because the augmented version is the final version, they chose to store that one. Given enough time, and possibly some adjustments to the augments in light of the new 2hrs, all armor pieces will be augmented. That YOU (as in the reader of this post) will not do that, is irrelevant.
And reworking the system is not possible due to the severity of the change needed and the temporary nature of the discomfort.

Do we really know the severity of it? They're reworking the entire UI and JA per job limitations. Surely teaching the game to run a check for an item's name isn't all that difficult compared to these fundamental coding changes. But this is only 1 option, the simple fix would be to just allow both +2 and +2 w/ aug storable on same slip.

I don't understand why people are putting this down. Its a benefit to all users, there is no down side. The argument to "its a temporary item, that's meant to be upgraded" is completely moot, as we have storage for empyrean nq/+1/+2. Even if it is temporary, its still a nuissance to sit on the pieces because the augments are worthless (and introduction of new 2hr's wont change this for the most part).

imo that's the true reason why they dont want you store unaugmented af2. if you could nobody would upgrade em and then the time spent by devs on trials will be wasted. the true reward of the trial is not the lol augment but the ability to store it.
