Vanity gear, Vanity system, Odin and others

Is SE planning to address/fix/change the upcoming vanity system in order to allow the use of vanity only gear like Odin's which is 4-slotted making it virtually impossible to equip under the guidelines they gave in which the vanity equipment must match the amount of slots as the piece it is covering?

It seems a lot of the vanity gear in game is multi slotted, while most the regular use equipment isn't.

Ever put in an exception for Odin gear or bring highlevel gear that use also 4 slots.
Or do it that Odin only use 1 slot and only overwrite the graphic of the gears in the other slots, like the dream tunik do it with the hands.

They are talking about pretty much all none tin can and cowel gear, honestly the only classes that benefit from glamours are DPS, DoH and DoL.

Oh the irony.

Well this most likely has to do with overcoming a technical flaw in the system and less likely to do with SE hates you.

Yah they aren't going to implement something that could prove to be extremely buggy and the method the game uses to render gear might even make what people want technically impossible.

Well, that's theoretically why they test things before implementing them...

Yes and they test it and realize it's buggy as Hell and decide they can't implement it or decide to backburner it before it wastes hours upon hours they need for working on something else. Thus the restrictions on Mirage Prism...

Whatever the reasons for the restrictions, they need to work them out. It's plain unacceptable denying people the opportunity to, for example, change that ugly ass horrible tin can stovepipe heavy armor monstrosity into something that looks decent.

SE just need to rework the vanity gears that use 3 or more slots.
They should do it like with the Dream Tunika. It only occupy the body slot and keep the hand slot free for whatever you want to wear there, but on the character it look like body + hand
But not the usefull gears, because they have already more stats to balance the other occupied slots out.

About the reason of the restriction
Example the heavy darklight (body + head)
If you put a 1 slot gear on it, no problem. Only that you can't wear a headgear to your vanity body.
But what if you want to put the DL on a 1 slot gear? Should it overwrite the headgear graphic? Should the headgear overwrite the DL head?

I'm sure in future patches they'll fix it like they always do.

Indeed. They clearly know how to make it so gear overrides the image of other gear without actually taking the slots. Fitting that into the vanity system isn't that far of a stretch.

The reason they didn't do that to begin with is because of the armor having real stats. I guess they feel it would unbalance other armors at that level because a player could use gear in the other slots. If they adjusted the stats to reflect body only then ya, it would be an easy fix.

Uhm, no... You're not transferring stats when you glamour a piece of gear, only the image.

Does anyone know how this works with WHM/BLM weapons? Can 2h be glamour to 1h?

You can't equip a shield and a staff, so I would imagine not.

Just stop bad mouthing people and getting the thread out of track please.

Any update on how vanity will work with the Odin set?
