Glamour Plates - locations that don't make sense.

[Nerfworthy]

They said they can only work on one thing at a time in this regard (more plate swapping locations, or more plates/item slots) and personally I think more plates and item slots is vastly more important.

Being able to edit them at the summon bell would be a nice convenience.

I can't imagine glamour plates causing more server stress than communicating with a retainer.

It is made like this because in old fashioned way if you were in combat you wouldnt be able to change any glamour during it.
The plate system is based around the old system, it works exactly the same way replacing glamour for certain items, but instead it doesnt cost anything to do it.

I think they make it available in cities because they want to prevent spagetti code to crack up in certain scenarios, lets be honest the game engine of this game is really really old and may just stop working at some point if given some factors in.
Imagine if someone would want to change his look in the middle of dungeon and everyone would get a debug info from the game, pc could handle it but console would go absolute nuts restarting the system.

The glamour plates work using the old system and simply applying all glamours at once without prisms. I suspect they COULD allow them to be applied anywhere just like the regular glamour system but they've chosen to be cautious and see how the player base uses them, as applying one glamour at a time using a prism each time is likely not spammed a lot but with no cost and glamouring a number of items all at once, spamming glamour plates is a potential risk to server stability.

The fact that they're increasing only one thing at a time (in this case the number of plates over the number of locations plates can be applied) suggests to me that they're being cautious with how much they expand it and when. They'll probably do it little by little to ensure everything continues to run smoothly. I still wish they'd just let you take things back out, though. That's all that's preventing me from fully using it at the moment.

You can really see with recent implementation of certain "work arounds" for inventory and glamour, that this game still runs on 1.0 spaghetterrible code.

What are you talking about OP? I apply the plates all the time in a Sanctuary Area.

A sanctuary is any location that you can earn rested exp. You can't apply glamour plates in any sanctuary that is part of a larger zone with non-sanctuary space.
