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

[DumdogsWorld]

It’s a moot point anyways, because in the grand scheme of things it would be way too much of a burden on the servers.

And to those who say “it’ll only be client side it won’t affect anyone else.” You are wrong. Very wrong. Not on the morals, i could careless on morality because no one here or anywhere in this day and age really has a leg to stand on when it comes to morals, but on the technical side you are all wrong.

This game has to decide what to render, so every character on every server on every data center would need two distinct models, one for those who haven’t chosen to ignore glamour, and those who have. That data has to come and go between each client and the server, to render everything. The amount of server strain would be insane.

Especially when their are other priorities for server load requests. (Glamour dressers in housing, more inventory spaces, instanced housing, tackle box for fisher, breaking down data center walls, etc etc) are far more popular far more requested features.

This is incorrect. Everything suggested so far in the thread can be computed client-side and at run-time from the information already transmitted from the server.

We downplay the likes because of the number of dislikes. We are not shocked that 100 people want to waste developers time. That is normal. I mean even lets say 30 percent of the player base wanted this feature. (i doubt it.) It can be twisted around to say..It is unfair to that 30 percent who pay blah blah blah.


Point is, it is a bad idea. Your reasons for wanting it is not good enough, and that is that.

Yes, because wanting a single competent programmer to spend 6 hours to implement such a small feature is completely unreasonable.

Honestly, if they can't pull it off with that or less, then there are two possibilities:

-Their engine is beyond saving.

-They have no competent programmers.

...and if either of those are the case, we have much bigger things to worry about.
