So, they're finally at least considering giving us a glamour log?

[Dark-Saviour]

I'd love a glamour log, but they're probably going to do something completely different and not at all what the community is asking for if anything at all sooooooo grain of salt here...

"We have developed a system wherein a new form of glamour prism is able to retain the image of a single piece of gear and project it infinitely, so long as it is charged. Materials for a new item used to charge these prisms can be found in (content), and you can view the remaining charge of a given prism using a new item crafted with recipes found within a new set of mastercraft tomes. Note that once an item is loaded into a prism, it is destroyed. In addition, there are restrictions on which items can be loaded into and projected from these prisms."

Nope, it is a half bake fix hoping it is enough where people will stop complaining about the issue

I'd rather expect the worst and be proven wrong (while keeping up what little pressure we can provide) than sit complacently and set myself up for greater disappointment.

How about hope for the best, brace for the worst and show appreciation for what has been done so far. No they haven't always done the best version of what we've wanted, but some stuff must have been done right or why else would we all still be here?

I get the "fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me" mentality, but it's kinda disheartening just as a fellow player to see someone post a shred of hope for a feature we've wanted only to see it flooded with negativity and insults for the people working on said feature.

I'm a die hard optimist I suppose, .. keeping my fingers crossed.

The problem is, players ask for something and give an example of how other game(s) do it. Then, instead of liking such posts, a whole lot of people will make new threads asking for pretty much the same thing.

The little info that's been given in such posts is then mistranslated half the time, and sometimes misunderstood. By the time the devs get an implementation plan, not much is left of the original request. On top of that, Square really wants to add lore to features they implement, which often makes things overly complex.

What you really want, is just a single thread with a good description (including sketches/screenshots/whatever to make things more clear) of what people want. In that thread people can discuss and add changes/optimisations, and the first post in the thread should be updated. Then people should like that first post, and then hope Square takes notice of it.

It sounds like the costume system from DC universe online.

I have zero faith in that quote. SE is free to prove me wrong, though.

Of course, it's also possible that they're working on something completely different, way over-complicated, and that nobody has ever asked for, and which will leave us all scratching our heads wondering why they'd waste time on it rather than doing any of the things people are clamoring for...

This has been their track record for most things, so...

That's a good example, apart from the fact that there are too many different points (some of which require a lot of time to implement) made in a single post. I do know there's also a post specifically about a glamour log which goes into some detail about how it could be implemented, which also got a lot of likes.

I'm a developer myself, and over the years I've wasted a lot of time on implementing features based on incomplete requests. Not only is it wasted time, but it's really demoralising when you implement something you think is how it should be implemented based on the limited info you have, and all you get is people whining and moaning that you didn't read their minds.

The base system seems to already be in place with the aesthetician. Except instead of hairstyles, it's armor collections. Granted, there are a LOT of them, and it might be too hard on the server to have everyone in these little instances all at once.

But seriously, how cool would that be!
