Add more glamour plates

If the glamour system is not going to change, with the new expansion and 2 new classes arriving i hope they are gonna add new glamour plates (i think an entire row, so 8 plates would be the minimum) and more space in the glamour dresser (at least 100 items).

my 2 cents

Yeah, my bags are full of glam stuff too lol.
I think the WoW system works way better where you just unlock the skin by receiving the item once, it would be much more convenient.

21 as a minimum please, one for each battle class, and one more for crafter/gatherers. At least that would allow you to play around, and if you want more crafter/gatherer outfits you have more room to take from some shared gearset classes.

I completely support more plates, and more space for outfits

Support this, also let us move them around so we don't need to make a new glam just to have same classes next to each other.

Never thought about that, but is a great idea. I had to redo all my glamour once because when i started doing them they where not in order.
I even did a folder on google drive (edit: with all the images) and a list on excel with all the glams

Need an entirely new system, not bandaids for an ineffective system. I'd need an extremely large bandaid...if all they did was accommodate my "current" needs, I'd need at least double the plates and about 1000 more slots in the dresser. My dresser has been full since like the second day after they upgraded it to 400 slots, and I have 4 retainers overflowing with gear I use for glams. This system isn't sustainable the more and more gear they add to the game. They have to know this, and have to be working on a better solution.

I just want at least 3 new plates to accommodate all combat job (2 new jobs + DRG now needing its own plate too)

A few more plates and a lot more glam dresser space are really needed at this point.

The glam dresser fills up so quickly. I guess the silver lining of changing to male Viera will be that I have no use for all my hats. :p

This is my first time writing one of these. The glamour system is filled to capacity. I literally have 4 spaces remaining and with every new patch we get so much be it primal weapons or just craftable pieces. I think they should allow probably primal weapon glams and relics to be put into the armoire or even create a weapons inventory chest with same potential as armoire. Thus far only seasonal and special items are able to store in the armoire and that's a lot of unused potential.

I also agree that we need some more plates and lots more space in the Dresser itself. 100 more slots would not be enough considering we have a whole expansion ahead of us plus two new jobs.

We need some reworking of the glamour system or at least the feeling of limited spacing needs to be addressed.

i agree but i assume they cant just easily replicate it or else they would have. given that glamour is such a huge part of the game im surprised they havent mentioned anything yet.

30 plates and 600 storage space please.

Incoming companion app update. Pay even more money and not only will your chocobo saddlebag be upgraded but your glamour dresser too!

Additional Glamor plates now available on Mogstation!


/s

1500 slots needs to be added in the dresser & atleast 30 glamour plates.

I dream of one plate for every class, and one more spare, with the plates unlocking as you get classes.

Maybe Act-Bliz is in need enough for money that it might reveal the trick behind the void chest that lets it work all in one chest, and yet contain possibly every item in the game.

I think one plate for each class unlocked makes a lot of sense, and of course, you need more space in the glamour dresser for each class as well. I don't mind the glamour plates and dresser system as a concept, but it's just not enough space.

Yeah, of course what i said in the op was the bare minimum bit i Hope we Will recieve much more

Plates is kind of a 'glam-retainer-in-the-wild' implementation. It's pulling and applying data from closet source while in a enabled location. Wouldn't be surprised if they are able to add a few more slots in 6.0, because deleting the belts is likely a good chunk of server resources likely being freed, more than just a few extra weapon and ring inventory slots.

They're not gaining much from belt deletion since they're turning around and giving us more ring/weapon slots. Those resources are already mostly re-budgeted.

But I do think it's wild we don't have a glam plate per class at the very least. Whatever has to change for them to actually give us good glam and storage, I hope they decide to do it sooner than later.

I wish they would do it like in ESO. Once you earn the gear, you get the pattern forever. There's no need to keep the actual gear. The system will log it for you. After that you can just go to the station and work on your glam. No point carrying the gear around and waste the space.

Yes they are, because belts is a heck lot more than inventory slots. It's a calculation to everyone's stats, in-conjunction with the damage math reset being done in 6.0. This can be rather large, the less math the servers have to keep calculating does free up resources. There is definitely capacity being freed beyond slots, otherwise they would have just been additive in 6.0.

Math is a processing resource, items are a storage resource, these are not the same thing. Using the calculator on your phone does not take up harddrive space. Removing belts has nothing to do with the stat squish, they are separate endeavors. Belts are being removed because we're running out of armory space and they don't seem to have the ability to expand that. So they remove belts and redistribute those slots.

They are doing the stat squish because the numbers are reaching the limits of certain data sizes and going beyond those would require restructuring everything. For example the maximum value of an unsigned 32 bit integer is 4,294,967,295. Anything bigger than that and the number simply will not fit in the available data structure. Stat squishes are performed to keep numbers from ever reaching those critical points.

Also, math you only have to do once is not an expensive operation for the server. Our stats aren't changing during moment to moment gameplay, so they not being constantly recalculated by servers. They don't have to redo that math until we actually change our equipment. We're talking about machines that do millions of calculations in the blink of an eye, the different between adding up the stats from 14 items vs 13 is literally imperceptible.

And make all event,mogstation gear be able to placed in the armoire >_>

Honestly, I'm getting to the point that, as long as it was a forever unlock (and not a monthly fee) I would pay $5 for 5 glam plates.

Yoshi-p: write that down, write it down!

I know, it's sad, I feel like this means they broke me, that I'm willing to pay for what should be basic functionality...

Definitely agree! More plates are needed. Some of my classes share plates, but there are some that I like having an individual look for since I want them to have a certain "aesthetic" to them when I play. I already struggle with the amount that is available because of this. I can only imagine how much more annoying it will be once they add in the two new classes.

I totally support this. I have used 15 glamour plates and it is currently exact as of the moment for each of the battle class that are sharing gears. So my DRG and NIN don't use plates. My BLU who is capped at 70 doesn't also need a plate. With Sage and Reaper about to come in, I would like to have a minimum of additional 3, one for sage who will share the healer gear, and one each for DRG and Reaper as they would be sharing gears.

For more wishful thinking, I'd like to have a plate for each job, whether they are DO, DOM, DOH or DOL. For good measure add in all limited jobs too as a bonus.

Yes they can, that's why they added the choco saddlebag, that extra inventory does not follow you to the instance servers. The 140 inventory limit is the global. Inventory is done in tiers in this to allocate server resources appropriately. Glamour closet is in a quasi-instance resource in the inn. Coffers are only able to opened in towns because those contents do not exist in the instance servers or open world. All sorts of cutouts exist in the game to expand inventory operations without really deleting anything. The limit is based on how much they want to balance on the server side to always-follow the character. Stats and currency is also part of this inventory equation in any MMO. Always-follow resources could be moved around appropriately or via cutouts. It's a balancing act. Like if they add +5 glamour plates, it could cost them the ability to add +10 inventory slots in the future.

The belt removal does tie into resources because you are just thinking of idle action and not overhead operations when people are on the map killing mobs and hunts, thousands of people with less unique inventory and stats. There is a gain without another set of unique variables to track.

Keep the current number of plates, but make them unique for each job. Would save them having to update the UI, and would give us tons more glam options.

Another zero behind the number of items in the dresser would also be quite welcome, but if we had 15 x 31 glam plates, I could probably make due with the current number.

100%, I keep hoping they'll eventually change to a system like that.

As far as the number of Glamour Plates, there definitely ought to be one for each Jobs, crafters included.

Considering Crafters finally can get their own Job Crystals, I'd almost say they should just tie Glamour Plates to the Crystals, for whenever they add new Jobs as well.

*keep up the flag*

yes.. pls more slots!

or at least let all glamour from the shop go into the armoire!

Yes, i'm stupid and crazy and perhaps have a bit too much money.. but.. i bought nearly all glamour sets from the shop and I'm unable to put everything in the dresser. Even when I exclude all male stuff (I play female atm) and put them on a retainer...
