Gauss barrel...

[FallenArisen0990]

You guys got your /gaussbarrel. So as far as I'm concerned, it's working as intented. What is it with everyone trying to remove/hide things from the game? You already got the ability to hide from your character and now wanna hide it from everyone else? I'm sorry, it doesn't work that way. Tank auras I understand, even tho I highly disagree with how many are very vocal about them being very "distracting." Gauss Barrel is so small that you'll barely notice it when the action is flying. Stop trying to dictate what you want to and don't want to see on my character just cuz you don't find something appealing...

Thing is, while it IS working as intended, it's a lazy fix.

Tell me, when a SMN uses an Egi glamour to turn Garuda into a Ruby Carbuncle, why is it that everyone can see that? When someone decides to hide their headpiece, why is it that everyone can't see it? And with that same logic in mind, when I choose to hide my Gauss Barrel, why is it that everyone else can STILL see it? That's where the issue is. There are already systems in place to have something not show globally, and yet GB is the one exception to the rule, and not in a good way.

I'd also like to remind that the reason /gaussbarrel off is even a thing is because MCH players largely don't like it. . .

Those are unique machinist skills that do not prove that the gun needs to be linked to the converter. They can do it with any gun.

You can do it with any gun because it is done through the converter. It's a bit of an oxymoron to say that it's unique to MCHs, but it doesn't use tools that are unique to MCH. It is used as the intermediate for MCH abilties in generating the ammo used for the gun that's equipped.

But it does for other instances such as egi glamour.

I worded it poorly but I meant hide the Barrel on everyone else. As in if any other MCH uses Gause Barrel, it hides there's as well.

Who suggested that idea?

That was only an off-shoot idea (plan b or c); born from how much we don't like gauss barrel.
The main idea is to toggle gauss barrel on or off individually just like monk gloves, paladin shield, summoner egi glamour.

Right now I'm fine with the "client" side temp we have for Gauss Barrel, that said I can see the reason to change that from "Client" side only to an actual glamour/gear state setting.

Personally I see SE's only worry being "But ppl with a MCH bellow lv64 can't tell if their using it then!", my answer is "If u'r that worried then put the buff in the Party menu" MCH has Hot shot as (I think) its only displayed personal-buff/debuff in the Party menu, Job skills aside, which has to be reaplyed every 1min... which to be fair is hilariously easy to do, as it lines up with Wildfire now. I get their "reason" to not want unnessesary clutter in the Party menu but they gave us Job Gauges, which depending on were u put it can be annoying to micro-manage.

I've addressed that before.

How do you know a tank stance is active? (DRK's aura being the exception)
How do you know a BRD's playing a song?
How did we know before that a NIN was using poisions or a MNK was in a Fist stance?
How did we know healers were/weren't in Cleric Stance?

Buff markers. Anyone and everyone can see them, so that's hardly reason to not properly round out the ability to hide them.

Then yeah, if you're hiding it to yourself, then it should also appear hidden from everyone else as they look on your character. It's a terrible inconsistency especially when it comes to group screenshots.

Which brings us to the point of the thread. In an environment where BRD, AST and SAM, RDM can have unique secondary models and SMNs who can change their egi appearance to not only themselves but other players, why is MCH the exception for both when it comes to their aesthetics?

Worth correcting here, AST is ALMOST in the same spot as us. All of the card holder models are the same, some of them just have different base-colors.

There's small differentiation in models, some of them have the extra tip. Even having different base colors lets the sleeve to match thematically to the globe, as opposed to having it remain static throughout (such as having a metallic white box for say...a shiva gun) and only change to dyes. The only thing that doesn't change in appearance are the arcanums themselves, unless its the PotD weapons.
