    Based on what I've seen in places like Facebook and the Novice Network, the dresser change is likely a response to the sheer number of support tickets caused by people destroying gear and then wanting it back. Since you needed it for Eureka, lots of people ran into that. Many of them have no idea that Calamity Scavenger exists. For other gear, it spawns support tickets that have to be dealt with.

    This is a smart move.

    I mean, most of the patch looks good. That's the frustrating thing. The app nonsense and the alliance loot change are just so out of left field and WTF worthy that they've absolutely buried everything that we should be excited to be talking about.

    Ah that makes sense about the glamour prisms. Honestly seemed like a dumb idea from the start though. Pfft. But yeah, smart move and it makes me really happy.

    It truly is a shame, but you're absolutely right. Those are just so terrible that it's hard to think of anything else. But do I dare to hope that they'll listen? I mean, they did listen at the outrage with the housing situation... so maybe... just maybe .. they'll actually reconsider this. I mean, I'm not holding my breath here but we'll see.

    I'm really confused on the loot change though. What even made them think "Oh yeah, this is a great idea!"?? I mean.... okay, I guess because it's catch up gear maybe the idea is that people will mostly use the gear for their alts. In which case, if it's their alts, then maybe they want to play their main class. Soooo, lets let them play their main class to get gear for their alts! Honestly that's the only thing I can think of. But it's just so.... ugh. And the app nonsense. Dear god, SE. NO. I feel like we need to put SE in time out or something. Downright naughty.

    This in a nutshell. I want more of the raid story, and the gear itself from it looks amazing. I want the deep dungeon. The glamour dresser changes are solid, and some places also say we're finally getting it tied to the gear sets? If that's the case I can officially use it, which is all I could've hoped for, really.
    And ofc the bunny outfit. Cuz that's a 4.3 thing as well I think :3c

    Re: why not just add a glamours log, I think it's a storage issue. Because it means they need to potentially save twice the information for everything in the log for you, log entry + actual item. They're saving up on space by forcing it to still be in your inventory they just give you a system to manage the whole thing. Twisted but what isn't in this game and its legacy code, sadly
