Glamour dresser red flag

[Cabalabob]

* Please be warned that gear, once transformed into a glamour, can no longer be used as an item. This is an irreversible process. Transformed gear no longer exists as an item.
* Transformed gear cannot be returned to your inventory or Armoury Chest.

The dresser can hold a total of 200 glamours regardless of equipment type. Once this limit has been reached, glamours in the dresser must be destroyed before new glamours can be added.

This is a major problem. Limit of 200 items OR making the process irreversible is fine NOT BOTH. Especially if you’re going to add systems like fashion report that is going to have us adding new gear to it EVERY WEEK!

If it had unlimited space but the process was irreversible, that’s fine, most gear except the top level stuff is just glamours anyway due to linear progression and we could just keep filling it with the new stuff without effecting what we already have.

If we could remove stuff but had a 200 space limit, that’s fine too, we could take stuff out that we’re not using to put stuff in we are using.

But if I put a piece of gear in there that I got from let’s say, savage content/mog station/event, then have to farm/buy with real money that piece again if I want to glamour my squad or directly glamour it to a job without wasting a plate? That’s ridiculous...

If im not wrong you can use the glamour plates for the Fashion Check, which I believe was mentioned during the Liveletter.

And if you put something in the dresser, than you should be sure that you are going to use it in the next 5 years. Just be smart with your decisions what you want to keep in your inventory/retainer and what you would probably delete if you were to cap 200 glamours, which might be still expanded in future patches.

That makes it redundant though if we put in things we are fine with deleting, it's probably gear we're not that fond of or plan to use often.

That’s ridiculous...

I have to agree completely. The dresser is worse in many ways to the inventory destroying system we have now.

I won't be able to store a huge portion of my stocked up glamour items because I can't apply glamours from the dresser to my squad, I can't retrieve the item again if I ever want it for another class or retainers or even just for cleaning out the dresser of lesser used gear because then I would lose that item forever, I may be wrong but the patch notes also give no indication that I can use glamours inside the dressers individually but rather only as part of a plate, and on top of that I can only apply these plates if I'm in specific zones which kills the main reason I would have used glamour plates for: specialized gear based on the zone I'm in; Like a cold weather set for Coerthas or a far eastern set if I travel to Doma.

Why is it that when SE adds something nice that other MMOs have, they make it either backwards or add tedium to it. WoW's transmog and Guild Wars 2 wardrobe is miles ahead of what they are trying to put in now. Heck they don't even have 'limits' with their system.

Because SE stupid and likes to do things ass backwards/wrong way and make it harder to want to use/like the system. Just like with housing, some years down the line after everyone bitched at their loudest they may put a band aid fix on it -.-
As for limits....
We're paying for a game that seems to be always running on limited resources. Do they have plans to do something about it? Nope. Seems not.
This is SE in a nutshell now - Take the players money from subs and mogstation, put it somewhere else and not into XIV.

Took wow 10 years + to come out with it. IN S/E defense. They should have released this next expansion complete as a feature but instead they are doing it as a patch.

If something becomes the new standard then we should not be fine if SE cant live up to that. They like to go around and say how many people played the game and how successfull it is. If you want to be on the top you have to put money in it. I mean we will probably not accept a game that is released in ten years but that is outdated from the start.

I am not even blaming the normal employees. Who knows how hard they fight to get more budget..I am blaming SE as a whole company that seems to take the money and mostly finance other stuff with it..which would be fine as long as FF14 itself gets more than enough to stay on the top. I mean even Yoshida himself stated that he would like more ressources but does not get them..

And the only way to get a chance is enough people complaining about it and not being fine with a band aid.

I think the only way to show them and enough is enough sort of speak is hitting unsub

That is not a defense, in fact that is props for wow for doing it sooner and on older tech then FFXIV is on. FFXIV is a new game, newer then wow, newer then ffxi, but why is ffxi more stable ???? Feels like ffxiv is the 15 year old game
