The future of SMN "egi glam"?

[MsQi]

Perhaps you should learn to understand context clues and not try to bait petty arguements.

I'm just trying to keep the conversation going, that's how change happens. It hasn't been very long really.

In HW and maybe even SB as well, they mentioned the possibility of egi glamours to change the egis into newer egis based off other primals. What we got is a couple different colors for carbuncle, no UI system for this, and some long commands to change the glamour. So the fact that nothing beyond a half ass color pallet swap, and something simpler than long text commands to execute an egi glamour does not exist.. It took a while for them to even allow us to change the size of Bahamut back in SB. So I think it is safe to assume that the devs do not see this as any priority or care to even attempt to do anything with egi glamours beyond what we have currently. There fore "it" being egi glamour does not have any future in this game and you are right it does exist but again it is a half ass implementation so the devs can say they did add egi glamour , it just was not what was originally mentioned or what players may have wanted.

It's always "safe" to assume. Summoner just went through a major overhaul to give players something else they have always wanted, and it's obviously not perfect. However it does show they do pay attention to what players want. They had to do some work with the glamours since they had to make sure it works with what are essentially new actions. They probably can't justify (whatever that entails internally) putting even more work into one job this expansion other than the usual "balancing" that will likely happen as the patches go by.

I agree it would be nice to be able to activate glamours through some sort of interface, but the commands aren't that long, I guess longer than many others, but macros makes it a lot easier.

I am still mad that they mentioned a bismark egi once... And I never got my bismark egi.

I hope it happens, That would be cool.

I don't know if it's possible but I have not been able to catch the short summon in gpose. If you enter gpose they will be there but they quickly go way and don't come back when you cast again. I can't freeze them either.

This excuses too much. There are ways you can creatively add more summons, that are functional, that also work with in the confines of xiv. Every time someone talks like this some creative mind dies somewhere. Never give up, never surrender my friend! lol

Edit: With that said I wouldn't expect the entire cast of primals to make it. The ARR cast could fit though at least. Lore is another thing but it's their game they can move things around if the desire is there.

After much trial and error I was able to get the gem summons to show up in gpose, you have to enter it almost immediately after pressing the ability but just before they start their attack. I didn't need to freeze them once there, they just stood in their idle pose without leaving.

Not everybody enjoys jobs for the same reason as you FYI. If I want my damn chicken nuggets or carbuncles let me. I’m fine with letting you have what you enjoy, please let us complain about what we aren’t getting that we used to enjoy and/or want to see more of.

Respectfully at this stage it would be a waste of resources to focus on developing bite-sized egis of full sized primals to swap Carbuncle with when our pantheon normal-sized summons should have largely been complete by now-though I will concede that recolors of Carbuncle should have happened ages ago, given that it couldn't have possibly taken more effort than sliding through a scale of hues/saturation to make them happen. A maximum 10 minute job.

I'll take more full-sized primals as opposed to different recolors of floating cabbages and chicken nuggets, thanks. We should be summoning gods not different colored versions of McDonalds happy meals.

[Deceptus]

As far as I know, you can still use egi glamour to change carbuncle.

That's just changing the color, not really glamouring. It's essentially dyeing it.

[Saimeren]

It would be nice to have obsidian and moonstone carbuncles as well as a green one..

I just hate that they call the blue one emerald. Emeralds are green. Sapphires are blue.

[Jybril]

Just want more summons than the same ones for nearly 10 years man.
It took that long to just get the real version's of the egi's. We been shoulda
had multiple primal by now. Susanoo when? :/

The future of SMN Egi glams? They sing about those, and other things (like healer agency) at the start-up menu.
