I was under the impression that in an instance your glamour effect wouldn't work? ie Glamour will only work when you are mucking about the game world/cities/outposts/crafting/gathering.

Maybe I misread something. /wandersofftofindanysortofsource

If you weren't in an instance you could just switch to a socialising vanity set of your choice. Glamour will re-template your gear.

Right, I got that. I mean that your vanity look would revert to it's base equipment look in an instance, and then revert back when you are out of it again. ie you won't be able to show off your vanity/glamour set in a dungeon run or what not. Although I can't seem to find the interview/info about the limitations of it. Ah well I guess we'll all hear about it soon enough. ^-^

What she's saying is that your idea would defeat the purpose of glamours, considering the majority of PvE content revolves around instanced areas.

It's not my idea. Nor do I like it. I was trying to recall if that's what Yoshia mentioned in a interview.

My idea would be just have an extra tab called "vanity" on your character window that you can drag/drop equipment in. If a slot is empty in your vanity tab, then it would just look like what you have in your normal equipment tab. There would also be an option to toggle the entire set. Easy and simple. No, random atuning equipment to crystals stuff they plan on doing. :X

I'm sure allagan sets will see recolors at some point

I think they were referring to PvP when it came to glamour not working.

They could've gone with the best vanity system ever, DCUO. Once you equipped something, or maybe bound something, it was added to a dropdown on the vanity page, so you didn't even have to muck about with a separate gear tab.

There is of course the new i90 crafted sets coming out. If you want to spend the extra myth, and cash and depend on a crafter to not accidently NQ your new gear or break it when crafting! :p And then of course you could add materia to it.

Though, there is always the chance it could actually look cool. However, sadly... based on what we know... Wouldn't you all agree it's going to look totally generic and probably use models that already exist in the game? :p Like, YAY! I get to look like a level 12 archer again! WOOT!

That was my absolute favorite thing about DCUO. And I concur with you.

I really hope they stop blatantly rehashing gear so much, even CT only has 3 unique designs, it really comes off as lazy, just as lazy as rehashing mobs even if it is Final Fantasy after all.

we already have recolors for allagan sets. healer and caster are recolors, and physical dps is a recolor too.

He mentioned that vanity wouldn't work in PVP instanced areas, but for dungeons I haven't anything to suggest it wouldn't there.

If it bothers you so much you can change it to your myth set with the vanity system.

Maybe we'll get a surprise in 2.2. Something like yoship saying that i90 allagan and myth gear will be dye-able so that there might be reason for some people to keep returning to coil1.

Though I agree that the brown color is a bit iffy, I still like my allagan casting robes.

I wish they'd have done something like that. They decided against that specific system for reasons of server stress. If it would actually cause stress, then I'll gladly take the compromise. Connections are shaky enough as it is.

Yikes.... Looks the same kinda, except they substituted the white for red lol.
But hey atleast the weapons design makes sense as the whole high tech allagan weps from T5 kinda made it weird to match up with all dat brown.
