Hidde Glamours Locally (& other graphically immersive options)

My immersion is fine.

I would just like to hide everyone's glamours out of spite.

And I would like everyone else to have the same option to do that to me too. Mine aren't so damn perfect glamours they would not deserve to be hidden if someone does not wanna look at them.

The arrogance displayed in this thread is astounding. Let me remind you all that he's asking for an option to disable glamour LOCALLY. How is that a problem for anyone else?

I'll do you one better, let us disable lalafells locally.

In the end, without glamours you'd be seeing characters wearing the same gear thanks to the linear gear progression.

You can already hide titles that people chose for themselves. Titles that people could have spent days trying to get (Necromancer, Legend, etc). I don't see how glamours are any different.

I don't mind the idea. Options are good.

I would like to see some further options, though, such as defaulting to the Artifact or tier gear most recently accessible to the player (partial weekly currency gear would show the previous tiers, while a mostly complete set would just show that set, etc.) or just conditional functionality (only applied to novelty/joke gear appearances or those outside of one's armor class).

My very first two posts on this thread explicitly talk about wasting dev resources….

Shock I know, but you can mod the files to make this game as immersive or crazy or whatever you want.

This is a waste of dev resources. You want to block glams, do the legwork and learn how.

People complain about losing a dungeon when the devs do other content. I’m all for that if the content they produce is wide reaching and useful. For me, this is the most niche issue I can think of, and would be a huge waste of resources.

I mean if they end up doing it, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings or anything, but this would be the fist thing I throw a meme at when people complain about “why no dungeon this patch ahmagerd!”

Great. But that isn't what we were talking about in that exchange.

We were talking about you saying hiding the glamours being "rude" because it hid their work.

I attempt to quote what things I'm responding to.

Doesn’t really matter to me, but I’m going to find the most obnoxious combinations of gear to wear because my entire character’s gimmick is cosplay and I want people to see it as I do (which is the same reason I’m not a fan of mods.).

My immersion is no less valid than yours.

I have seen this said on many of these types of threads and all I can say is your character is already being changed on some people's screens as it is with mods. Furthermore, why should you get to dictate someone else's game experience. If the change is client side only I don't see why a player that would be on my screen for 2 seconds as I run along the street in limsa should say to me how I should see the world. I wouldn't use the toggle myself, I like to see some of the creative glams people come up with. But I don't like the stupid chicken heads etc running around either when I am in a fight for the first time that is supposed to have great meaning and I am stood fighting alongside a giant joke. It kinda ruins the moment.
