Glamour dresser red flag

[Alleo]

Exactly. I originally suggested destroying the item to convert it into a glamour (to avoid weird market problems), but you can't do that with limited space.

Maybe SE doesn't realize how much MMO players hate losing things they work for?

Item destruction, or limited space in the dresser (I may go back to calling it a toilet).. not both.

Well Yoshida more than once stated that people should just throw away dungeon gear if they have no storage left...glamour gear that might be hard to get since its no guaranteed drop thus can take quite the while to farm it again even unsynch.

And wait you cant use the old and new system? Didnt they just said the complete opposite in the liveletters? So if people want a complete glamour they need to either only use the old system or the new one but not both? Thats just bad..

And honestly I would accept beta versions more if we get a true promise that more would come..but there was no hint that this was only a beta version. They only said that they will increase the limit but not when and not how much..

The plates apply the glamour onto the gear itself so if you want to use the old system too, you need to keep reapplying the glamours on individual pieces. For example: 1) glamour RDM the old way with 5 prisms, 2) glamour SMN the new way by using a plate, 3) use another 5 prisms to glamour RDM again because the SMN plate overwrote the original glamour. The glamour plate doesn't go "over" the old glamour appearance, but rather replaces it. This means wearing a unique outfit on each job is as cumbersome and expensive as it has always been, i.e. you have to re-glamour every time when changing a job.

Actually they have said they intend to build on this system. For example one complaint, that you couldn't use gear in the Dresser to glamour squadron members or retainers, was something they said they wanted to address by making it possible to use stuff stored in the Dresser for those glamours.

The Dresser definitely needs work but its not a complete lost cause. Its limitations are frustrating though and I hope they can address those somewhat. Even more plates would improve the system a great deal.

I'm sure they'll grow on the system overtime... Lets sit back and see what will happen.

They probably will, but that doesn't explain why they started by making it both overly complicated and needlessly restrictive at the same time.
Plenty of other games have better systems that they could have copied instead.
Personally I wish they could have copied LOTRO's wardrobe and outfit system - which is superior in almost every way.
(WoW apparently also has a good system, but I have no personal experience with it.)

Don't know if this has been asked or anything said in patch notes: but can we convert the old prisms into the new one's? have a handful of cloth and leather which now aren't useful.

Yes. Calamity Salvager I'm told handled all that jazz.

Thank you!

Item destruction pretty much means I will not use the glamour dresser, and will glamour manually. It should be used as a storage device, simple as that. But currently, Im just goign to get another retainer.

Can we not remove items from the glamor chest?

If not, I want a roll back and get my gear back lol.
