Before Heavensward we Summoner's were told that we were not going to be receiving new pets. That instead we were going to get a shiny new ability called Deathflare. But not to fret that we would eventually get Egi Glamours and it would be coming soon. And we rejoiced. Those of us who wanted to relive our beloved FFXI days and run around with Carby all day, every day. (Or like myself who had Ramuh all merited out, to swap our ugly little pickle relish garuda blob with a small old man with a staff).
We took to our new Deathflare and loved it (even if Aetherial Attunement is clunky and can be annoying.) But we never heard anything about the Egi Glamours. We all know that they wouldn't be as easy to make (even if Carby is already made, Titan has more detailed Egi models and Ramuh already has an Egi model in the game as well.) But we want to know when.
So please give us some information (hopefully good news and that at least Carby will be usable again in 3.1)

I'll be happy just turning Garuda and Titan back to Carbuncles. Maybe even make Ifrit a red Carbuncle too.

I'd rather they just invest dev time on more useful stuff for improving the game. I could care less if Garuda just looked like a green ball so long as she's still shooting off Contagions and Windblades

They're only finishing what they started when they added the job in the first place. I want muh Ramuh and Leviathan! Just some info on "when" would be nice.
Sure there are others things I want improved in the game for other jobs, but, ...my Egis! -

I am also wondering why there has been no mention of the Egi glamour since they talked about it the first time, and that it was coming in 3.1.
I guess we will get that when they announce FC primal summoning~ <_< Which was put on hold but no news about yet, even though it was talked about by Yoshida back in 1.0 as one of their features of ARR. -
10-30-2015, 12:00 AMDarkstrideWas it even officially stated that Egi glamour would be in 3.1 or was it just assumed? I'm pretty sure it's just a "when we get to it" situation.Quote:

Those new minions they had time for, but not for Egi skins - regrettable.

like i've been saying why in the heck is it taking so long they should have been long since worked out when the summoner was first introduced in realm reborn.

It's a HUGE disappointment, this not getting it yet. While I think they'll eventually get roundtuit, it's something I was so hoping would happen in 3.1 and I'm flat out disappointed that it isn't. Please, Yoshi, please! Give us back the carbys!

It'd be cool if it were the primals you could swap out. Shiva/Ifrit, Ramuh/Garuda/Levi, Bismarck/Titan/Ravana. It'd be fun to see and it'd make it feel like they're different primals you're summoning even if they have the same abilities.

Shiva!!! I want my f***ing Shiva! XD
SE should be putting more Summons for us and less new abilities. We are "Summoners" and that is the last thing we do now... / sigh
We should be able to summon all the primals we've defeated not just ask for glamours while we are receiving more more attacks :S
how this glamour-pet thing will work?
because I won't like having my shiva spamming "wind blade" that sucks! -

SE gave players no indication on when this would be done, let alone that it was coming in 3.1. So you only have yourselves to blame for getting excited (then disappointed) about something that's nothing more than "we're working on it" at this point.
Now based on the information they have given so far, SE will potentially or most likely have to:
- Rename all the pet skills
- Change the pet skill icons
- Change the tooltip for said skills so it suits the pet thematically
- Change the spell effects/animations
Bearing in mind, that's just for one pet. Then SE potentially has to do this across all the SMN abilities (Summon I/II/III), because I can imagine the player complaints about their favourite Egi not being usable in dungeons because it's locked to Summon II only. Or that they don't like having to use Summon III to see their favourite Egi because it 'dies all the time' or something.
Then on top of that, the Egi have to look aesthetically pleasing lest the usual complaints rise up to the surface again.
So, yeah, don't be surprised if you don't see this being implemented anytime soon. Maybe SE will be smart and only release one Egi at the time across patches, to save themselves the headache of trying to get all out at once. -
