SUGGESTION: Set-specific Glamours

Not sure if anyone shares my opinion, and this will probably sound like a #firstworldproblem, but I find continuously reglamouring the same end-game gear over and over again for each different occasion really frustrating. Also, I am very annoyed by how healer/tank classes that share the same gear have to look exactly the same unless I re-glamour my gear.

So, I propose the addition of a set-specific glamour option in-game. Yeah, different glamours for the same gear pieces in different saved character sets. I know that a change of this magnitude could take some time and be quite difficult (if not impossible), but I think if the programmers at Square Enix try hard enough, they can do anything! (lol)

But yeah.. IMO a change like that is well worth it :D

I dont think this will happen, what you are suggesting will clash with the server blablabla memory limitations. I do like your idea, but seeing how we can not use two glamours on one item for different classes, I reckon your suggestion will take alot of time to be put in the game. Maybe when they fix the server memory thingy, we might see it.

Title did give me a neat idea on how we could save some memory space for glamours, especially with changes coming up in 3.1. Make it so you can trade in all the pieces of a set, for a single multi-slot version of the same set, for glamour purposes.

This would be the ultimate glamour upgrade for me. I've long wanted to have different glamours for a single job (In a Frontline match? Use your grand company glamour set. Running around in the colds of Ishgard? Wear your cold weather set. Lost in Thanalan? Time to switch over to desert garb) but regrettably, with all the talk of local memory or server limitations I've given up hope for a feature like this.

Yes please. I changed my PLD boots today. I glamour a dyed version of the 180 gear. Unfortunately I also use these on my DRK with a different glamour. To glamour my PLD I had to:

1. Dispel the glamour on the 180 boots
2. Glamour over the Creed boots
3. Dye the new boots
4. Re-glamour my old PLD boots for my DRK

I do wish that glamour was job specific and wasn't reliant on changing the look of the item, but instead changing the look of the role.

This is one of the reasons I decided to just stick to one Job per "role" (Tank, Healer, Ranged, Melee, Caster) in 3.0, the other was just the lack of space in my armory to keep every single job geared. I would love it if glamours were saved to gearsets rather than the actual gear.

This is why I really wish we could have had an actual wardrobe system. :/

Being able to save multiple glamour sets would at least make it somewhat bearable though.

They need something like a Memory Prism. Equip the gear you want (along with class specific weapon), use the prism and it saves that current set. Equip all the normal high-end gear you wear, use the prism, instantly glamours the old set on top. Least then it would save time. Would save some frustration too, can't tell you how many times I have bought prisms or made them only to find I made the wrong grade or am missing one.

Aaah nooooo we do not need additional stuff clogging inventory. The sets need to be built into the UI properly.

I wish they would look into ways to allow your healers or tanks that share gear to look different without having to wear different gear/re-glamour prism every time you swap jobs.

When you have job-specific-equipment as the base gear, it's not a huge problem (which is why I like that the esoteric gear is currently the "in" set, for now). But we all know that in another couple patches or so they're going to make the next ilvl cluster sharing gear based on roles, and suddenly you can't have your healers/tanks/certain dps looking unique- making any Esoteric armor in the future (being used as glamour) impractical.

How does having all the items saved into 1 prism clog it? o.O

Unless you enjoying constantly carrying your glamour gear + prisms needed for it.

As in you'd need to have the memory prism in your inventory... thus, taking up more inventory space. We really don't need more convoluted materials layered on top of an already overly complicated glamour system.

I am still having a hard time figuring out your argument. 1 item....versus hat, body, legs, shoes, arms + prisms. If that is what your into then meh.

I'm not arguing that the "memory prism" idea isn't better than what we have now. I'm saying there is a much better, more streamlined way to implement multiple glamour sets, by baking the sets into the UI a la wardrobe.

Its a neat idea, but that's exactly what I would do. I'd use your prism idea if it were available, but once I imprinted the set onto the prism I wouldn't get rid of the gear. After all, I may want to use that gear in a different combination somewhere down the line. So while your idea would streamline the glamour process, it would make the inventory issues we're experiencing that much worse because we would be storing both gear and these prisms.

Yeah that idea is half-bad. I could totally get behind it. Honestly, all I'm asking for is a system that would allow us to look differently on different occasions in the same gear without have to reglamour over and over (cause honestly keeping glamour prisms for all types of gear on-hand would probably be even more cloggy).
