Hopes for the 4.2 Glamour System Revisions

[DarkDedede]

Hopefully they'll touch on the improvements that they have planned.

Of course, I wouldn't mind if the entire Live Letter was devoted to glamour and inventory improvements. Yoshi-P did state that it would take an hour to explain everything related to it.

Oh, and I hope they also mention when we should expect 999 stacks.

Hopefully the doh gear is allowed to be used on combat classes. Everyone in dungeons and raids needs to see how magnificent I look in my silver lv.60 weaver coat.

If they unlocked the DoH gear, I may finally get off my lazy arse and farm some scrips for that miner top. I leveled the job to 70 JUST FOR THE BODY, but I can't be bothered with it at the moment as I rarely ever use my miner..

O.o somehow I double posted while on my phone. >.>

Anyway...a log added as well so I can get rid of all my retainers. Lol

I just want to thank everyone who is supporting unlocking DOL/DOH glam restriction. If they can't do it for level 70 DOL/DOH gear they should at least let lift it for the 50 and 60 gear. But hopefully just for all. It's not like looking like a botanist would confuse anyone in a dungeon/pvp.

Can we go one better and remove all glamour restrictions except on Artifact gear?

Can't say there'd be much, if any, harm in that.

I mean, I don't mind the idea of looking a bit more like your own class in the armor department, but... some of these <x job-only> armor sets don't look any more like <x job> than several others...

The entire system of glamour could do with some upgrading, revolving around a few key points

1) Appearance. There's really not that much in the game that makes people go "O.O DUDE!". No special effects, no bulky-ish armor for melee classes. Just... "well that guy is dressed today". We could do with stuff that adds more flash and pizazz

2) Gear sets. SMN, BLM, and RDM all share the same gear, however, if you apply the glamour of a RDM, when you swap over to your BLM set, it will not be able to display and just render the original appearance the gear had. This is not okay... One could either remove just the class requirements from glamour usage (NOT the gear itself), or make it so that we could preserve glamour sets for each class. There is no reason why a samurai and a monk MUST share the same appearance. They don't even share the same culture (Meiji era sword user vs Tibetan/Buddhist martial artist)

I'd be content if they just copied the wardrobe system from WoW or GW2.

I'd definitely take GW2's style over WoW.

While both have an appearance log for unlocking the appearance once you've obtained the item, WoW's extra requirement of needing to talk with a specific NPC in one of a few specific areas or spend a pretty penny to get a mount with a specific NPC on it to actually access the switching of gear appearance makes the actual process of glamouring/transmogging/etc more annoying and take more time.

Also, whichever dummy over there changed it so you can only hide your helm by transmogging it to be a hidden slot needs to change it back. Something easy to access for that...I dunno, maybe on the character window somewhere?

I mean, I don't mind the idea of looking a bit more like your own class in the armor department, but... some of these <x job-only> armor sets don't look any more like <x job> than several others...

Not to mention that the identity of a job is quite readily apparent via both the weapon and the animations of abilities. Throw heavy armor style on a Black Mage and they are still going to look like a Black Mage casting stuff.
