Egi Glamour is coming out for 3.5....

There is more salt here than LoL....

It'll be funny if the only glamours they release with 3.5 are the old carbuncles. :P

I thought the main complaint (originally) was that the egis weren't "epic" enough. If they release glamours of the other primals as egis, they will almost certainly be similar to what summoners currently have. Also, let's say the glamours are tied to either Ifrit/Titan/Garuda. Garuda is used 90% of the time so it's not like you'll really get much use out of egi glamours associated with the other two. *shrugs*

That wouldn't be funny at all given that we've already been told the first set will just be Carbuncles. I appreciate your attempt to laugh at others' expense though.

This has nothing to do with the complaints about the egis not looking like the primals. This is related to the devs saying they were working on this to make up for not giving SMNs new pets. They're two entirely unrelated discussions.

As for your second point, let's say we don't make wild assumptions about how the system works just to say it's pointless...

I fail to see how this can be justified in any way, shape, or form.

They have already said that the first "set" of glamours will just be the already-existing Carbuncle glamours. Aside from a few particle effects for Ifrit, THEY ALREADY EXIST! That was one of the serious complaints when 2.0 first launched; SMN egis were literal carbon copies of the Arcanist Carbuncle. How long does it take to alter a couple lines of code? It is a simple matter of changing the code to reference the carbuncle files instead of the Egi files!

Delay after delay after delay. Failed promise after failed promise after failed promise. It is mind-numbing to me how this industry (video games in general) can get away with failing to meet their deadlines more often than not, and still remain in business.

EDIT:
Found this on reddit, lol...

Patch 4.1 - "Egi glamours! Now you can use Carbuncle again! Isn't that great? More glamours coming soon! Please look forward to it."
Patch 4.2 - "What? Ramuh Egi? Shiva Egi? We never said anything about that. But I'll talk it over with the dev team and maybe get it out 5.0 at the earliest. In the meantime, please enjoy this Rainbow-colored Carbuncle you can purchase from Mogstation for 19.99."

It makes sense seeing that there was finally a light at the end of the tunnel, but to have it pushed back to 3.5 (sometime early next year) really salts the wound.

Now it's the empty void where the serpent lies.

When you've been waiting for something for this long.. yeah, people get upset. They basically said they JUST started working on the glamour system. Which they said was going to be implemented this patch.

People complain it would be bad to give summoners more summons (which is the center of the job..) because they think it's a waste of resources but they ignore the waste that is Lord Vermin, Squad stuff no one asked for, and PvP that is amazingly terrible.

Sorry.. but it's true, the PvP is God awful

They should not bother with 1% content most players won't do or care about, putting TT in DF along with LoV, new PotD, ugly slight alterations of exisiting clothing that are called new gear, face roll dungeons, playlist functions on Orchestrion and new furniture, circle arena primal fights, boring new equipment. There's MORE important stuff than this nonsense.

I was hoping we'd just get the xpac instead of another patch lol..
