Please, let us cast glamor plate anywhere.....!!!

[Granyala]

Forget changing plates and assigning items, having to access the dresser.
Lets start with being able to APPLY PLATES everywhere.

So retarded that when I change my class in the wild, my gear won't glam and I get error messages instead of my preferred outfit.

Imo they need completely rework the glamour system
Something like wow. You get an item, its "copy" is automatically stored in glam dresser, and you can not interect with that copy by any means outside of drag'n'drop on plates
Moreover they can do that system client side with a backup on the server
Boom, easy solution

The Wardrobe system in Guild Wars 2 would be also good to use, equip once, skin unlocked, easy as it is, glam it whenever you need to. (i really wish also we had a bank like in GW2, simple spaces for each material)

1. You're locked to specific area which allows you to use glamor plates
2. There are only 15 glamor plates when in reality it should at last offer enough plates for every DoH/DoL/DoW/DoM
3. Permanent cost of glamor prism if you switch often between classes which have linked glamor plates

All in all a really lackluster implementation of a costume system.

They need to change the glamour system.
Why did they go with something THAT complicated when they could just have used system "à la" Rift, EQ2, Age of Conan : 2 character sheet, 1 for actual stuff, one for visible stuff. Make it so when you equip a piece you unlock it in your glamour journal and just have to click it to make it visible.
Geeeez, even F2P like Blad and Soul offers a system more intuitive and faster than FF14

The Glamour Dresser is an additional inventory system that can only be accessed in cities, because accessing it in the field (along with retainer inventories) would put too much strain on the servers.

That only explains the limitation on where you can access the dresser itself, with its hundreds of items. I can understand access to that being limited (though I do wish they'd add a housing item for it — we've already got a separate house interior instance there).

What's being requested for in the field is just the ability to access a plate that has at most a dozen items. They should be able to add open access to that much without breaking their servers. We wouldn't even need access to all the plates and the interface to look at them if they would at least let the particular plate linked to our gear set be applied when we apply the gear set itself. (That way, adding more plates doesn't increase the size it's dealing with if it's only picking up one of them at a time anyway.)

Someone mentioned in another discussion on this a while back (though I'm not sure of the source) that aside of inventory concerns, there was an issue with the small-but-not-impossible scenario that an enemy could attack and kill you while the glamour plate "macro" is being run, which would cause some kind of error. Can't remember if there was more explanation than that.

They need to change the glamour system.
Why did they go with something THAT complicated when they could just have used [simple system]

Perhaps because it isn't that simple to do it in this game's coding? It's clear that they don't want to meddle with the pre-existing code, which has some poor decisions made early and built deeply into the game. The dresser/plate system has been built to sit on top of the original system and do stuff it wasn't designed to do, without actually changing it.

[SayuriHime]

Yes, please!

[supaiku]

Yes pls.
I hate it when I get better gear but can't glamour it because Im not in town. Then the queue pops and I look like an idiot, lol.

[Kirsten_Rev]

Chiming in mostly on behalf of a friend of mine, but he's never touched the Glamour Plate system because of this limitation. I use it myself, but I still find the limitation annoying, and occasionally my Botanist looks like a Fisher (or vice versa). I was hoping this would have been fixed for the release of Shadowbringers, but perhaps in a future update...

[Avatre]

Would be nice if we could, but I won't be holding my breath for it.
