Can we get rid of prisms please?

[Nezerius]

A glamour catalog still sounds like a massive hassle, TBH. So instead of perusing a small list of maybe 2-3 tabs, I'll have to scope through every single item I've ever gotten if I feel like modifying my glamour? No thanks. I prefer the current system, which let's me keep the glamours that are relevant to me and get rid of the rest.

A proper glamour log would have a search feature, or a tab for each gear type (gloves, boots, etc.)

I wouldnt ask for that Im simply askin to be able to glam wherever ii want would u be upset if u could take 500 gil and glam each item as pleased any location in the game. That is what swtor does its so easy and so simple and i have no clue how anyone could be against it

There's still the suggestion of turning glamour prisms into a currency, which would allow you to do this. It'll also keep the option for crafters to make their own prisms (for personal use, or as a way to make some gil)

but ur one person im talkin about i dono maybe the other hundred thousand people in the game , new players included

You're assuming "the other hundred thousand people" agreeing with your suggestion, yet you disregard the assumption of just as many people who might be disagreeing with it (in other words, talk for yourself, don't try to talk for a large group of people).

A .

So what your sayin is you believe a large part of the game would complain if they let you glam without prism and without npcs ?

No point in discussing something that I already agree with (the WoW and Wildstar systems being good). You seemed inclined to believe that the entirety of the GW2 system is good, while the transmutation charge system is terrible.

My personal opinion is that GW2 system is not good, but it is better than FFXIV.

It adds a reliable income for low end crafters, but since you don't care about crafting, you don't care about that either.

I am all for supporting an in-game economy. None of the other 3 games we've mentioned have weak economies, and all of them do not have prisms behind crafting. I am not really sure why we need 'reliable' income for crafters, but no reliable income for combat classes. I already find this game has a pretty big issue with wealth distribution, where crafters have a disproportionately larger wealth than non-crafters. While, I think they should have higher wealth, the level of discrepancy at the moment is way too large.

A proper glamour log would have a search feature, or a tab for each gear type (gloves, boots, etc.)

I just wanted to add that I like your comments here in regards to possible improvements.

I already dont have to carry around the stuff, its on a retainer.

and it would get rather difficult to sift through all the gear we can glamour, even in a log. theres hundreds of gear pieces in the game.

Speaking as someone who plays both games regularly, it really is not difficult. Having a bunch of options at my fingertips, whenever I want, is conducive to greater flexibility in how my character looks.

Honestly, this is a complaint I've never seen before and it completely baffles me.

I already say why, if you not like this, feel free to not like it, however please stop assuming that because only you find that idea good its the best thing ever and everyone thinks the same

Id say the people that agree with me are equal from this thread so , its prob a good percent on either or , and like i mention the devs took it down to one so we never know if they may totally do away with it and come up with a better system

Thats a terrible judgment to think the Forums are even a remotly good representation of the playerbase. And even if, i read the last 5 page i would call it remotly even, there are less people agreeing with this and most of them are talking about a glamour cataloge and not directly to remove the prisms

Well we will know either way but compared to other games if youve played some others I highly doubt you could say that this one has one of the best glaming systems out there

As a sidenote, the current dyeing system is in a similar situation, possibly due to it being a relic from the 1.0 version (which I haven't played).

No, the the system in ARR is new.
In 1.0 the dyeing was part of the crafting. You crafted the cloth with a dye and then used the dyed cloth to craft the gear. No dyeing afterwards was possible. Only what parts of the gear can change the color is from 1.0

Honestly, this is a complaint I've never seen before and it completely baffles me.

Considering there's at minimum 600 individual pieces per slot, glamour logs in this game would become increasingly unwieldy and cumbersome to deal with. When I want to glamour something, I don't want to have to shuffle through page after page after page of glamours I don't want or like to get to the four or five that do. A glamour log that unlocks everything as soon as you pick up the relevant piece would be a complete nightmare, as opposed to the 1-2 pages I have to look through now. I know what look suits my character.
