SE, if you're looking at Machinist in 3.2...

This would be the perfect time to adjust Gauss Barrel's graphics... like removing it completely and letting us have un-modded guns.

I like the attachment graphic :x but I wouldn't mind a toggle as it does look silly on some weapons.

More than the attachment though, I would love a change in the charge animation that goes with it.

Toggle will do!

Y'know, I know that nothing in coding is as simple as "do it", but you'd think that as far as it goes, this should be a quick implementation.

Toggle is a good idea. Personal opinion, would like to see the animation of "Rend Mind" to be executed on "Clean Shot", and the weapon relocated on the right-side hip.

Agreed, the attachment graphic just ruins the look of some guns.

I think part of the problem is the fact that they spend a lot of time to give Bards very nice looking and detailed Quivers for most bows, yet Machinist Attachments stay the same no matter which weapon is used. Even the Device Machinist have attached to their hips stays the same no matter which gun you have (forget the name)

Gauss barrel is far more of an ugly design aesthetic than darkside was for dark knights.

I suppose its impossible to out angst dark knight crybabies, but I would hope a well oiled argument would motivate some devs to take a second look at the gauss barrel animation. I'd also love some alternate designs for machinist and astrologian hip accessories.

Toggle please it looks bloody terrible on the anima because they alignment is off....and even then it would still look bad.

I guess a toggle would do fine. Having different barrels/lunchboxes would be even better.

The alignment is appropriate. It's aligned with the top barrel because it's a gatling type gun. It looks weird though, but technically correct.

Give us an actual Gauss Barrel, even if that's just some cheap lightning style effect on the barrel of the weapon. The current Muzzle is just silly and doesn't even work for 90% of the weapons...

When I see complaints about the MCH aetherconverter and Gauss barrel not being custom to each weapon it seems people fail to understand that both those items were given to us by the Skysteel manufactory. There has never been MCH before us and our few guildmates (as confirmed by our soulstone being blank). Guns have existed before MCH (pirates,yellowjackets,garlean,even Goblin and Gnath) so the guns we find are just that,guns. I know "because its lore" is always a flimsy excuse around here,but it is the case this time I think.

A gift from Stephanivien doesn't mean we can't give it a sweet paint job. It'll still do what it does under a coat of paint.

Personally, I don't mind that the Aetherconverter doesn't change appearance with our weapons, but I would argue that lore is a poor excuse. Lore is made by the developers and they can change it at their whim. Changing a major, well established, piece of lore is something they probably wouldn't want to do, but setting the lore of the Aetherconverter to change its appearance is as simple as inserting "...and it's fully customizable!" Into the dialog when we're given the equipment.
