So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

[Ruinfeild]

I really only have two big problems with it.

1.) The restriction on some items that can go in. I tested it out with Leonheart and some of of my relic weapons and you can't put them into it which means I have to keep the gear sets on my hotbar. As for the relic, it took my Zeta but not some of the others like Lux which is strange.

2.) I was REALLY hoping that they would lift some of the class restrictions when it came to this. I can understand weapon since it would just look pure strange but I don't see why I couldn't have my paladin running around in that skin tight black machinist top or something else from another class.

Maybe it will change in the future if enough people say something but I find it easier to stick with the old system at the moment.

Edit: Looked at another post and someone said you can use the armoire to help with getting some of those items.

I'm just waiting for an update in a future patch where the glamour dresser no longer destroys the gear you glam, and the ensuing rage.

I don't think anything was mentioned about this new system overwriting current glamours, so it took me by surprise. I was ready to nuke one set despite being 60 4-star gear I crafted, but I'll be damned if I nuke my raid drops.

Looks like for the time being, I'll be sitting out with this new feature until it's improved

Yep, definitely not putting my $18.00 carbuncle ensemble into the dresser. It's meant for replaceable gear like the Survivalist set or my White Mage get up.

The way I see it, the glamour dresser is an interesting adjunct to the existing glamour system; but, I'm not going to use it heavily.

Because Lux is top tier right now, if they let you put that in, you wouldn't be able to continue the relic weapon. So since people don't read the "OMG THIS IS A REALLY BAD IDEA" prompts.. you just can't.

Because it would look really bad in my opinion, for example, to see a tank doing his job while wearing a healer's set!...

Class restrictions on glamours are fine by me and I hope SE never changes that!...

really, because all I can see are a constant stream of wierd flashing colours. There are so many combat effects that you don't actually see what anyone is wearing. And if you think a tank in a healing outfit is bad, what about a tank wearing a pig mascot head and bikini? The "feel" of the game is no longer as stringent as it was.

I still vote for an option to make everyone on your own client a "standard" glamour, like the squadron was. No more hula girl and bananahammock guy shenanigans in my dungeons..

It is as dumb as I expected and people kept telling me "wait for the patch"
yeah ok

also needing to go to the inn and not even be able go to your house???

Also you can't glam from the saddlebag to the dresser or glam from the saddlebag.

give us a real glam log or more real space.

I hate needing to go to the inn for this, i cant cast glams the old way since we only got 10 plates as I work on things, it is so infuriating, how do they screw up something so simple this badly?

All I want is to wear disciple of hand/land gear..
I can understand not wearing the regular disciple of war/magic job gear but disciple of land/hand? No one levels those to show off glamour

I was very annoyed when I figured out that I couldn't remove the Plate I tested, which meant I lost my previous glamous (which cost me some expensive dyes). I'm trying to think hard of what kind of good use this system might have, but I can't see any. It just destroys items and makes it a bit difficult and troublesome to mix items that you converted with items you didn't convert. I'm personally not going to use it at all, at least at its current state.

Say you have a "Look" you like for your main job. But every time you upgrade you have to go get a prism, find your source item, glamour the new thing, then store the source item again. Now you just have a plate for ANY part of it you change.


Also, if you have BLM SMN and RDM you can have a plate for each one, and while yes you have to be in town, you CAN have a separate look whenever you switch classes. You can actually macro the job change with the plate change. Currently this has a downside in that you are actually changing the glamour on the item and overwriting the old, but if you have the Old look on another plate you can switch back. You can also use your premium dyes on the actual items in the dresser or on the plates themselves, re-applying them with every new plate or application of a plate.

So, I sorta get the hesitancy on the whole "destroys your items" deal. Don't get me wrong, I hesitated putting some stuff in. And some of you glamour pros maybe have better reasonings for it, maybe I haven't fully explored this yet.
But, honestly, what are you losing by destroying an item you will only ever use for glamour? It stays in the dresser (unless you perma-remove and destroy it), to my knowledge, you can still apply dyes (right? surely it still works). Has anyone tested whether you can use plates to have the same item dyed different ways for different plates?

I feel like, functionally, except for the actual 200 item restriction, it's still effectively the same. Instead of clogging up 200 inventory slots, they give you this method that says "hey, if you're just keeping this for glamour, this dresser can hold all those items and you can do basically all the same stuff."

Maybe it's just a case of, if 200 slots isn't nearly enough for you, and you're a "glamour is the true end game" type, this wasn't something made with you in mind. Maybe that was a mistake. But I think maybe it's worth acknowledging that on a small scale, it works for what it is, right?
