The glamour system is awful. We deserve an overhaul.

As much as I would like to, I found the system so needlessly complicated and poorly designed that I have never actually attempted to glam anything. I honestly cannot believe that it was implemented in such a convoluted fashion... pun absolutely intended!

The reason those MMOs are able to do it is they built their data handling processes early on to handle such situations. It's not quite as simple building and interface and plugging it in. It would require larger alterations on the overall game engine and how data is handled, which is hard to accomplish in a short amount of time which would either require smaller changes throughout a number of years, or a large content drought that would give them the time to make such dramatic changes.

This needs more likes because of how true it is. They simply didn't plan for that system in advance and so didn't code for it. To squeeze it in now would result in lots of debug and possible errors cause it's a system that was never designed to exist with how the game works now. And I wish they would just say that when this gets asked instead of giving roundabout semi-technical answers.

I think they will have to design a new system from scratch to support it, but considering the enormous amount of resources required (both in time and manpower) and the potential financial lost in the short term via retainer rentals, it's not unnatural for them to be dragging their feet on the issue.

On a side note, I wonder if it's possible to summon a primal with all the prayers for a glamour revamp lol

On it.

Honestly? Too bad for them. They need to put in the work.

Let me guess, is this suppose to be a reference from the other thread regarding all the "junks" that we are hogging? Lol

Hrm? No, it's a pile of crystals! Gypsum, mostly. xD

Well... that doesn't seem quite like the crystals I had in mind lol. For a moment I thought you might be hinting that my joke is junk if the cross-reference wasn't your intention. XD

The system is perfectly fine the way it is. You can glamour at any time wherever you are whenever you want without having to fiddle with a 700 page nightmare of a book, on a whim. I like this system the way it is, it's compact, efficient, and quick as can be. There no need to fix what not broke.

lmao. I just... no.

I disagree. Glamour gear eating up slots and you can't have different looks on a shared-role gear. I understand the frustration of navigating through a bloated menu, but that can be quite easily solved by a neat and intuitive UI in place. In fact the current crafting log UI seems to be able to handle the job well enough imo. Maybe with a few tweaks here and there.
