Augmented Armor Glow Glow Glow

well, that don't take off the point that all of this is for.... wait we gonna look like light bulb?
gonna be really really smart to have this of armor in the frontline, while trying to ambush someone.

no seriously, all the change about vanity that was bring with 2.3 was horrible, the AF that can be dye that recquire... (depending of the server) around 5-6 million for get all the item for have it and this...
SE really need to fire the tester... 2.2 was the grind patch, 2.3 will be the patch of the... illogism.

Already seen someone with an augmented chest piece today! It was glowing just like that. Looked pretty cool.

Yeah I have made a couple and sold them to players on my server. They look awesome when equipped, but they cost a LOT to make. You have to make the REGULAR ilvl 90 piece, and then use it with MORE materials to make it augmented. It requires new desynth items from ilvl 70 items as well. Its expensive to make, but they look amazing!

If you don't like it (and are on the PC), go to System Config, Graphics Settings, and set the "Glare" option to "Off."

We really shouldn't have to turn off effects entirely just because they decided to put in ugly glowing armor. I'm sorry.

No change in stat and anything else at all? simply glow?

This is quite honestly the dumbest crafting recipe I have ever seen. You're spending 3 times the cost of the base item to make the same item, with a risk of losing everything, with a glow effect.

Yep, no stat changes. In balmung, you need to fork over 1-2 million gil worth of mats + the actual base item and the tip to the crafter just for a glow.

By the way: The armor glow can vanish after a death in instances, least while glamoured anyway. It seems to be client side, so others may still see it.

Please. Pretty please. Get rid of these augmented armors. They are an eyesore and I loathe the day I come across someone actually wearing one of these.

Because your opinion isn't the only opinion in the game? Thus they don't have to ask "your" opinion on what they can implement or not.

Those who like it will get it, those who don't, wont.
