Egi Glamour Update

[Eloah]

Patch 4.1 is coming, and we saw nothing regarding them. Yoshi-P said that odd patches would have more "new" content compared to even patches. This is something we were promised 2 years ago, before Heavensward launched; not the glamour system itself but new egis.

Are we mad? understanding? do we hope 4.15/4.2 will have more than one egi to make up for these issues?

What do people think?

Toby (Topaz Carbuncle[Carby]) is cute and all but I'd like other options now.

I feel like they will start throwing "we gave you Bahamut" to not honor their word of 1 egi per patch.

I kinda gave up on SMN, but I always wished I could use the primal minions in place of the corresponding egis.

As much as I would love to see some new egi's, I kinda feel like the devs should focus on fixing the mess that they made with the 4.0 changes to SMN. To be honest, those promised new egi's have gotten the same treatment as roaming primals at this point. If I remember correctly, their excuse was waiting until it fit into the lore/story.

Also, as both the devs and everyone else has stated, they've worked themselves into a corner with SMN and SCH and don't know what to do with it. As it seems right now, their best option would be to start over from scratch, rebuilding both SMN and SCH into their own separate jobs and getting rid of Arcanist all together. Which means, we might not see SMN and SCH truly shine until an expansion or two down the line if they so choose to go that route. But as far as the egi's go, we know that the model for Ramuh egi is there, it's Shiva and beyond that I don't believe we've seen an egi model for yet. Only other thing I can think of is that maybe Ramuh, Shiva, and whatever other primals they choose to make into smn pets end up getting the Bahamut treatment, meaning we may not see them until 5.xx series or beyond.

I'm ok with just carbuncles. I'm happy I don't have to see the floating turd anymore.

I want this:



I don't care much otherwise!...

When was that said?

They said new egi glamours would be added with future patches, which doesn't mean they'll add a new egi glamour with every patch.

[KaplanHomahru]

Yes please. There should be more at this point, especially considering there are already some models in the game we could be using.

Pretty sure they gave up on it too. They don't seem to know what they want it to be. As to the topic, I wish they wouldn't have gimped themselves by making Egis instead of making actual summons. So egi glamours are a bandaid fix at best, imo.
