Hidde Glamours Locally (& other graphically immersive options)

[NanaWiloh]

You're admitting you love to antagonize people on purpose and will theoretically attempt to circumvent an ingame feature to get at people trying to enjoy themselves purely out of spite.



Is this really what you'd like to advertise here?

Its not circumventing if the game allows it. Which so happens it already does glam pieces are gear like all other gear they can be worn. I am poking fun at the loop hole in the idea, one that is not easily fixed. I don't care if they add the option but don't think you will escape some player wearing a bunny in a dungeon run...

They wouldn't be able to circumvent a client-side toggle anyway. There would be a default set of gear data that the game would load and not load any other models until it was turned off, the same way it works in FFXI.

The INTENT of the option is to not see something in particular. In order to MAKE them see it you'd need to either: Swap to inappropriate (as in stats wise) gear in a dungeon, or just always be in exceedingly underleveled gear all the time Specifically for the purpose of circumventing people who are using the option since you'd have no idea who'd have it enabled.. Intention matters as can be noted with people circumventing word filters and blacklists. Just because you can do something within game mechanics, doesn't mean you aren't harassing people or aren't breaking rules.

It's exceedingly easy to fix. Have the option just swap others glamours and appearance for predetermined "sets" corresponding to their job instead. Poof. No circumvention possible. This has been exhaustively discussed.



I don't mind people with actual objections to options even if I think their objections are silly, that encourages discussion or at least education. It's people who hear something someone else wants and instantly reply with some sort of smarmy anti-post for it like even if the option was realized they'd try their hardest to still do the thing it's meant to prevent that makes people wonder about the FFXIV forum community.

It's one thing to object or counter propose, it's quite another to be antagonistic.


So own it.

As I said in the last thread about this topic. If my glam ruins your immersion sorry not sorry.

Quite obvious.

Basically everyone looks the same except for the person with the Glams off who likes a out of place circus freak. lol

Only if they decided to wear mismatched clothing. The glamour toggle (at least the way I'd see it implemented) would make the game load only a predetermined outfit based on class for everyone around you, while you're free to wear what you want. Which is again how it works in FFXI and I imagine would be the easiest way to put in such a system if they ever decided to.

Mismatched or not they will still be a stand out from everyone else. But hey if somebodies idea of immersion is everyone looking boring and uninteresting except themselves I am not going to stop them.

I'm sure for some folks they wouldn't mind being the only one in their perception of the game world wearing a cool outfit while everyone is wearing bog standard adventuring outfits. I'm not sure how it's insulting that they get what they want. But yeah you shouldn't care what other people want to do with their perception of a video game environment especially when it doesn't affect you, that's a good stance to have.

Except:

You turn off my glam. I put the actual glam on > and watch your immersion continue to melt away..

So you specifically said you would try.


You're going to act like you didn't say that one page back?

Nope I know what I said. I wear several of my actual glam's pieces such as the Thav set. So no trying needed and only a fool would admit to breaking the games rules on the forum. Since the Glam off option does not exist I have broken no rules :P

Apparently not. But please continue to act like you didn't just completely flipflop on what you said you'd do within 7 posts.
