Glamours and Gear Preview (03/20/2014)

[Ildur]

Glamours limited to level 50 is the most arbitrary restriction of this whole system. I already knew this was designed with end-game play in mind, but this is ridicolous. People will have to level all the way up if they want to stop looking like a clown. This is so ridicolous I didn't even expect it.

Its not limited to ONLY level 50's, just unlocked once one job hits 50. Just like how you dont get dye till 15, or chocobos till you join a GC or able to call out the chocobo in combat till 30. Once unlocked, you can use it on a level 1 job.

I like how you want to defend an arbitrary restriction by mentioning OTHER very stupidly arbitrary restrictions. Do you realize that someone who hasn't reached level 50 with any class yet (new players, people who are levelling a lot of alt classes at the same time) will be locked out of this system for no good reason? This is a vanity system. It doesn't affect gameplay in the slightest. It shouldn't be level locked, the same way dyes shouldn't either.
At least if the requeriment was a level 15 quest then it would be consistent with the already implemented systems. Right now this is just taking the system hostage because lollol.

Whatever, I don't care. This system might as well not exist for me.

For how long, one week? One month if they play very little.

You'd have a point if it was something requiring i70, i80 or i90 lv average. But wtf is it with people saying lv 50 is some unattainable ideal? FC large house is unattainable, lv 50 is the BASIC thing to do endgame at all.

It took me a long time to get my 1st 50 but I still don't really think it's that bad it's a level 50 quest. I'd have wasted so much gil if I'd had access to this system at a lower level. I know I spent an obscene amount of money dying armor that I ended up throwing away a few days later while I was levelling.

Make it 1 slot - adjust the stats and make hands + legs + feet invisible or break up into components please <3 <3 <3

A separate rule should exist for items that take up more than one slot. Otherwise stuff like the 4-slot odin armor goes from "it might be useful for vanity" to "you might as well /toss the odin mantles".

lol @ whoever equated level 50 as the "elite few"

as previously mentioned... lv50 is reasonable accessible to anyone. if you want to talk about inaccessible, go complain about housing prices

I disagree too, but level 50 should be reachable in such little time I don't think that bad of a problem. If anything it might serve as motivation to get someone to level their first class to 50 right away.

I don't understand why we should have to level to 50 to access vanity systems. I really don't. So what if it's reachable "easily"? Maybe I've got characters who I'm kinda taking my time on, poking around every so often with and who I'd like to dress up but can't because... apparently not being level 50 means they're cut out of the vanity system. And then there's situations like the one with my MRD alt. I absolutely detest the outfit she has right now (well, mostly the massive pants that, on highlander women, make their thighs look ten times bigger than they should), so much so that it's killed my motivation to play her. If I could glamour away those pants into something I actually like... I'd actually want to play her.

There is no reason for restricting access to vanity behind a level 50 quest wall. None. It is 100% arbitrary.

This takes the fun out of buying a body piece or robe, dying it pink, and reselling on the market boards. Oh, the looks of surprise and shame I imagined after the purchases were worth the gil...
