Nier raid 2b outfit rant.

[reivaxe]

People are complaining because the coffer isn't "locked" like minions and mount rolls are. If you already have the outfit, you shouldn't be able to get another, especially since you can't desynth/sell/trade it.

Why shouldn't you be able to roll on it again if it's not treated like an achievement?

Because there is literally zero need for another one. It's iLevel 1 Glamour, so not suited to equip retainers. Having it once is enough to glamour it on yourself, your retainer, and squadron. And it can be died on different glamour plates even if you have just one.

It's a technical thing. While minions and mounts are checked with your minion and mount catalogue, the 2B items are just items. Even if they're unique, the game will think you don't have them if they're stored somewhere else than your inventory. And they may not even consider the items in your inventory because the item being on rotation is not the clothes per se but the coffer that disappears the moment you use it.


Unless they implement a transmog system that works like the minion or mount table, there's no way for the game to tell if the player has the 2B glamour set or not.


Another sugestion would be to make it an achievement reward. So everyone who did the dungeon and got an achievement could get one coffer, for example. Probably emptying the raid after a week or two though.

One for white dye, one for black dye. I can see this being a thing.

Note, I have not one a coffer yet. Plagued by people who spend most of the raid dead winning it. Oh well.

You can dye it different colors on different plates in the glamour dresser without needing multiples of the same item.

Yes, but if you delete the item from the plate, the dye goes with it. And you can't have it on more than 1 plate without redying it if you want the color.

I have this problem currently with the eastern schoolgirls ribbon.

What if you lose it by accident? You can't accidentally lose a mount or minion after opening it cause it's with you forever, you CAN accidentally toss glam. If it was an achievement you could unlock by having it on and speaking to someone then great, you could just rebuy with gil if something bad happens or if you need more copies. That's not the case though..

What if you want a pure white 2P version and a jet black version? What makes more sense, using just 5 more of you 400 dresser slots for an extra version dyed jet black ooooor basically devoting 1 of your only 15 glam plates to a jet black version without ever being able to change it cause once you do that dye is gone? Dying a full set jet black or pure white can easily run you up to 2mill, which is why I save them when I get them as returns for a case like this. Rare dyes are a thing and if you can avoid having to buy them over and over it makes sense to do that. And glam plates are stupid valuable, I'm already in a situation where I'm sitting on one cause I accidentally turned in the source version and it's gonna cost 200K to get a new chest to put in the dresser.

This is legit how lots of things in this game are handled ... event gear that you can only get for a limited time allows you to rebuy them after unlocking them, you can get gear drops and put lots of the same version into the dresser if you want, you can REBUY (with rl money...) stuff off the mogstation.

Why would they EVER make this 1 outfit a once-and-never-again roll win? Just cause you want a better chance at winning 1 of the 3 guaranteed coffers and don't like the thought of having to roll vs maybe 23 other people more than a few days after release?
