Please give us an option to hide Gauss Barrel.

It looks really bad with most weapons. Please give us an option to hide it like we can do it with head pieces.

I like my robo-metroid actually. Besides, I'm gonna guess is we got a cosmetic option to hide it, the summoaners would just go freakin' nuts.

Or at least make it smaller...it's freaking obnoxious the way it is now...even if we can dye it(only 2 MCH weps are dyable that I can recall) ><

I just hate the design, would of been nice if it just did an extended barrel type thing.

And until they get it they will rip and tear everyone who so much as gets anything that's a QoL change. I mean, I can't verify that personally, I'm not a summoner, but I have decent perception.

I can understand the design of it, anyway. They couldn't do an extended barrel because the shape of the barrel on different gun models isn't the same. Some are larger than others, like the giantsgall knifelock.

I just thought because of that one cutscene with joye in the MCH guild there could be an extended barrel somewhere

Joye doesn't need gear progression.

And underbarrel attachment that flips into a Gaus?

The position of an attachement connected to the barrel in any way would still clip into a larger barrel like the knifelock. Effectively you'd need a different attachment barrel for every gun model.

I'll be right back! Going to take a pic of every gun in-game and show how they already have an extra barrel somewhere.

Can someone post a screenshot? Don't think I've seen it up close in-game before.

I thought everyone liked pretending they had the R-Type Option on the end of their guns... Even though ones where it doesn't make much sense like the those that are gunblades (I know there's at least one gunblade, saw it yesterday. Blue Steel or something like that).

Attachment is big and bulky.

Doubt it. A change like this would be good for MCN... though personally I can't believe anyone even notices it while in combat... combat is so detached. But unless the particular summoner is whiny as sin and deserves to be taped to a chair and locked in a basement until pet glamours, this nor any other non-huge QoL should be fine... Get that chip of your shoulder son!

Personally I understand them when they say they all need animations... but if you're going to bother making animations for all of them IDK why no just... add them.. but whatever >_>

Edit: Okay, I see how its noticeable now lol. I kinda... like it... but it does feel wierd when it becomes a Hoverbarrel on shorter weapons.

That's like all summoners ever, tbh. Which is silly, of course, but when they get akh freakin' morn and are still mad, something is very silly indeed.

I'm not saying changing gauss barrel would be bad. I wouldn't call it good, since it doesn't really help anything... but I am saying it'd be very low-priority if anything, and making an attachment barrel would be implausible due to the different size and shape of the barrel. The graphic for the attachment would have to be different for different gun models, or else you'd end up with floating barrels or attachments shoved down a gun barrel bigger than it and just sort of floating in it, or just... clipping wrong in general and looking like a cylindrical bayonet.

Yea GB look hideous. The attachment does not fit well with most guns. I also hate the MCH left sided box. Why not have 3 small Allagan looking orbs tide together with a leather rope that hangs off the side? The box looks to much like a SMN/SCH book. I feel the designer team didn't put a lot of effort in to this.

As you can see Sir, I am myself a SMN. But I mean, most SMNs I've come across are quite happy now. I hate to use this phrase but its really just a loud whiny minority complaining about glamours. I think most of us want them (I just want to use Carbuncle....), but a lot of us are quite patient.

Except for Carbuncle. no excuses, he already has all his animations I want ma carbuncle ;;

Nah you're totally right, it's a super loud whiny minority. I just don't want them to whine any more.

I found a graphical bug with the Bismarck gun and Gauss Barrel. I assume the bug applies to all guns that fold up. The gun retracts, but the Gauss Barrel stays put and floats in the air.

Will be "looked at" in 5.0...

Please look forward to it!~

I'm a smn and I don't see why they are even giving glamour to them I think its ridiculous. I mean smn pets look good like they are imho. But whatever floats others boats I guess.

Tbh im more dissapointed with the gear sets. I know MCH share with BRD but all the gear seem to suit BRD and a bit off with MCH.

It always float up in the air anyway, it's an electrostatic attachment (hence the name Gauss ) so it can fly by magnetism.

Have you even looked at it? It has a wrench and spare shells strapped to the top and is essentially a toolbox containing the parts to our Turrets and the Gauss Barrel itself. Not to mention the cylinder on the front with what looks like fuel gauge on top.

It looks like a toolbox to me. Nothing like a SMN/SCH book outside the fact they both sit on the hip ... You can even see the clasps on top right/left where the box would open.
TBH, They put a surprising amount of effort into the little details on it. Yeah it'd be nice if we had unique ones based on our Gun, but I'm ok with the one we got.

Would more aesthetically pleasing if Gauss Barrel was a silencer instead of a cog stuck at the end of your gun.

It'd still at least be nice to have different model/fanny packs for some of the big-themed guns, like primals or at least the AF one of all things. The default pack/gauss barrel looks so out if place when you're using something like shiva gun (or even Ferdiandy)

Actually, I'd love the option to hid the lunchbox. I can turn Gauss off when I'm just standing around, but the lunchbox is forever (assuming I want my gun visible).

I'm really glad other players are feeling the same way I am. I've actually never posted on the forums before but, I was feeling more and more recently like I'd like the ability to hide the Gauss Barrel. I love Machinist but, that's my only (small) gripe about the job. Some of these guns look really cool and I love the look of Ferdinand but, to me at least, it ruins the look of the gun by having this big ridiculous 'hook' on the end of my gun that doesn't look like it fits. My friend was joking it makes my guns look like they're a hook gun or something.

They honestly really kill the aesthetic of the job and I would rather it not even be there at all. At least Wanderers Minuet doesn't change how the bows or arrows look.

Akh morn was cool for the first three times, but I certainly didnt even ask for it, much less even know what it was when i came back to the game. >_>
