It's time (Option to Hide other players Glamour)

[Penthea]

Typo, its late and I'm tired.

Fair enough, it happens to us all at some point. I'll edit my post to make it clear I responded to something you had not intended to say.

I'm refering to my two examples from earlier, if you're going to argue at least do it in good faith.

Are you trying to paint glam removal as some sort of saviour against reporting certain glams because people could turn them off? Look if this is the point you want to make I understand what you are getting at, but you seem to grossly overestimate the amount of people who would report this. If this was a real problem threads would be popping up all the time about seeking glam removal. And they would have been doing so for years at this point.

Just look at this thread, it's the same handful of people arguing over and over again. If you were around when Shirogane launched or when 24 mans briefly had greed only on loot rolls, you would have seen what it is like when a large number of players are outraged. Especially with Shirogane, you couldn't escape anything about it. It was even on gaming news sites, it was so bad.

Most players frankly don't give a toss about other people's glams. Why? Because it doesn't affect their personal gain in the game. That's literally it. The 24 man and Shirogane issues were essentially some manner of a loot problem (people wanted their goodies) but someone else's glam has no effect on what loot/possessions you can earn in the game.

The fact of the matter is, OP's suggestion is not only unnecessary to aid in game performance (because as I said before a pc that needs this would be unable to handle combat) it is also unnecessary to maintain harmony because for the most part no one cares how you look, as long as you don't take their loot. It doesn't make sense for SE to spend time and money making a feature that only a tiny amount of people would genuinely use.

Fair enough,

It could be seen as a niche issue not worth attending given the tech challenge and limited ressources. At least there's always the option to mingle with local files for those who really want it and thats probably going to be the only option for the foreseeable future anyway.
I'm happy to concede over that argument.

So I just ran Praetorium last night on an alt. Out of the 8 players 1 was dressed in an rather absurd manner. I'll call him Gary. Gary was wearing a white long sleeved shirt, white shorts, a white night cap and moogle slippers.

Every time there was a cutscene, which are unskippable so there's no "just turn your camera away", there was Gary in the background standing out like a sore thumb. So much for the seriousness of that whole encounter.

I was actually getting into the dailogue and mood again since it's been a while since I've done that part of the story. And then there was Gary.

Alright don't lie, you weren't enjoying seeing those awful cutscenes again lol. To be fair though, it's one of only dungeons with story cutscenes, they shouldn't exist in first place and must become solo instances (they're already soloable as healer at sync).

You're assuming the bard expects every person to stop and listen to them or they're being disrespected - which is highly unlikely to be the case.

Then you are also assuming that the majority of people that glamour do it so that people look at them. Yes different people gave different arguments and its fine if you dont like the option. But others can also be fine with wanting one. Its not like SE will see it and just because the thread is made will create it. But people have the right to at least post that they would want that.

About revealing outfits: That can simply be stopped by giving the people the recent job gear which is not revealing.

Editing...


...Okay (I say three hours later), somehow the edit I pasted here didn't take, but did stay visible if I edit again. Have reposted it later. I am so over this discussion and need sleep.

[Theodric]

I'm still all for this idea. It's an excellent compromise and there's no harm in giving players the choice to tweak the way they see the game world and other players.

The game already has similar options, so it'd simply be an expansion of the tools that are already available.

I don't know why people keep bringing up characters from the other games in this. This is Final Fantasy XIV, not VII, VII, IX, or any other. That means this game has its own aesthetic for what's expected to appear.

Brb, putting my Cloud haircut on

Do we know if the Lightning returns event is returning this year?

Sec, bomb agro

K, need a lift out of this thread? Hop in my Regalia if you want.

Oh the cutscenes themselves were aweful, but the mood and setting was great. Though I did find it funny and a bit odd that you beat the crap out of Gaius on the elevator, then just let him walk away to activate Ultima Weapon. Why not just finish him on the spot and the break Weapon while it just sits there? Guess there's no drama in that.

88 pages and 878 replies, as of this post. Seems like this thread is gaining as much dev traction as that support Blue Mage thread and Male Viera thread. And we all know they don't care about either of those.

Move along now, nothing to see here but the same 10 or 12 people falling into an unending echo chamber.
