Request: MCH side box to be hidden with a command

I don't even know how that thing is called, you know, that box that is glued to one's side and has some ammo and where (I suppose) the turrets are stored. Well, can we have it so, like the Gauss Barrel command, that the box is hidden? It really interferes with any body piece, like I have on the pic with the Tantalus body, where it morphs with the little pistol that's part of the body piece.
I mean, the gun is pretty cool without it anyways. I'd love to be able to hide that hiddeous box with a slash command or any option. No matter what gun, the box is the same anyways D:

i strongly agree.

Really not needed grauss barrel was need. Um better question do we use our poop for bullets like savages? The answer is no its there for a reason

Gotta love it when people don't even read through but are fast to answer as if they were in charge ;) and with astounishing logic too.

That's an aether converter, an integral part of your MCH since it's the thing that transforms lightning aspected aether from the ambient into bullets, allowing you to do your job. Is it clunky? Yeah, but it has a reason to be there. It'd be more accurate to say that the dev team should look into not making it clip with glamour gear sets (or hell, with its own gear when it's shared with BRD).

If you paid attention to the story you'd know :P

Not much different from the bard's quiver. Those things never match up with the armour you are wearing. Always floating half a foot away from your back...

Necoring since MCH looks really cool going into 5.0 and has made me consider actually paying attention to this job.

Would like a hide option with the aether pack as well. Unlike a bard's quiver, a samurai's sheath, a paladin's shield or a red mage's focus, the aether pack does not change its look along with the weapon. It's just this really clunky lump of metal attached to your hip. This sounds like a more responsible response than asking the team to go back and add changes to the pack per weapon; that's a lot of models to edit!

Yes and in lore, dying means actual death, yet game mechanic wise, we have raises (you could argue you are simply knocked out/unconscious). This isn't asking to be rid of the aether pack, merely asking for the player on the job to be able to disable display of it.

I dunno, making them clip less would be nice, but I don't see why we shouldn't be able to hide it, after all, shields are massively important to Paladin and yet you can glam it so it looks like nothing is there, same with how gauss barrel could be hidden and that is just as important to MCH, or at least used to be, I would say there is nothing wrong with giving players more options and its not having the option of hiding the aether converter will cause any harm.

I like the lunchbox with the AF gear, but I think having a command to remove it would be nice, same with AST's card pack on their side, also make it server side if you can, if I don't want to see it, I don't want anyone else to either.

Yeah, I kind of don't get why we have the side cards. All of the animations, AST draws from the cards spinning around the weapon, nor do they draw from the side deck when pulling out the weapon. It's another thing I'd love the option to hide as well.

iam fine with a feature to hide it, or make it more compact.

I mean I'm just happy with the fact that we finally got rid of the gauss barrel attachment finally.. i'm content to deal with the aetheroconverter for the time being but a command to hide it on the player's screen ala the gbarrel command from 4.0 is fine, probably something we'd have to wait a patch or two for. Least give people the option.

The only way to influence change is to share feedback - sorry for the bump all, but HUGE +1 to this.

It would be amazing to give us the OPTION to disable the converter globally and not just client-side.

Glamour is a large part of this game and a huge draw for me. I would love to disable/hide the converter as it impacts many pieces of gear. By design, the box does not vary in appearance. Because this kind of dedication is not going into development (the converters all look the same with slight variance in color only) then it would be acceptable to give us the option to hide it.

Moderators, the power is in your hands. Please continue delivering this feedback to Square-Enix, it's such a minor change but would make a meaningful impact for those that enjoy MCH and enjoy putting together glamour sets.

TYSM!

I would also like it to change with the weapon style, the same way other jobs have a 2-part weapon that matches. I hate having the same metal box on my hip regardless of my glamour or weapon choice.

If it isn't going to change with weapons then we need a hide command, it gets old seeing the same metal box forever, at least bards get new quivers

^ Completely agreed!

And the /hide command should be global, and not local to my game!

The old /gaussbarrel command isnt being used anymore, repurpose it for the mch lunchbox maybe

2023 now, would still love to see this get added.
