Do people care about glamour earrings, rings and other accessories?

[NymeriaEld]

Nah, I just Emperor's New [X] accessory slots. Necklaces could be good, but unfortunately we rarely ever get actual necklaces, just chokers, most of which just don't look good imo.

Plus, I can't ever even see earrings on my main character, who is a Raen. This is why horn accessories would be cooler for the Au Ra ear slot.

I would really like that too but my impression is that there's only one universal placement for the earring model relative to the character's head, so horn decorations only work if they can equally connect with every possible horn shape. (Personally I would have preferred less variation in shape and more variation in accessories, but it's rather too late for that.)

Some Au Ra faces have horn decorations as one of their unique modifiers, but from memory that's mostly the male faces while females tend to get more customisation of scale placement.

My favorites are the Menphina earring with the moon and dangly glowy bits, and the Woad Skywarrior’s Ring which has a star crystal. I usually have those in just about every glam, only switching out the earrings or one of the rings if needed to better match an outfit.

I generally don’t wear necklaces, because almost everything seems to look like a choker… even on my Hyur! Most bracelets get covered by gear, so I don’t bother.

I like celestial themed jewelry, and would like to see more of it. Lunar Envoy had some cute earrings, but the other pieces didn’t really thrill me.

But what I’d really like to see is a fashion accessory gear slot, that’s purely for glam and doesn’t disappear like the current ones you have to activate. Things that are essentially gear shouldn’t be in the same category as umbrellas and wings! I wear my ribbon around my ponytail, so that takes up my head slot most of the time, and it would be nice to not have to choose between that and things like glasses or a barrette! We got rid of belts, we could fit one extra slot for something like this! lol

I mostly only care about earrings and necklaces, my bracelets are hidden 99% of the time because of my gloves and rings are meh.

[ZephyrMenodora]

Yes. 10/char

[SassyAssassin]

Yeah I do but they decided to put the earrings on the floppy ears on the back of the ear instead of in front like an all the other Viera ears because why not.

I think they're a neat 'finishing touch' to a glamour plate, to give more details (or you probably just love all those danglings shinies like a christmas tree.) It's especially satisfying when you can match and/or blend the proper colors, IMHO.

I can't say the same when I'm playing my other non-hyur alts though. For the most parts, I like to keep their ears/horns free and focus on other parts of their glams.

Much as glamour is the "true endgame", the devs regularly prioritise the other endgame's stats over glamour accessibility, locking things down to ensure they get equipped by the intended job rather than opening them up for flexibility. There's nothing in that which suggests inherent failure, just different priorities.

I don’t really see an issue with tanks having access to native dh rather than just through melding. It also gives melee dps the ability to opt out of mandatory skill speed if there’s some on both rings or whatever. If it really upsets the devs they could have a backend check that says something along the lines of “your gear currently has x mainstat in content balanced around x+y mainstat. Are you sure you wish to continue?” On the off chance some scholar equips only strength accessories to get bigger autos at the cost of literally everything else. Kind of sucks that it wouldn’t add a way to dodge piety as easily as tenacity but it is what it is.

The devs use substats for balancing jobs. Putting Skillspeed on everything is a way to nerf melee jobs without actually reducing their potencies.

I remember at the end of HW they put Parry on everything for tanks while they have already admitted that Parry was a useless stat and that they would replace it with Tenacity in SB. The intend was to keep tank dps low.

They also generally put better sub stats on savage raid gear than the tomestone gear to make the savage raid more rewarding.

I think the thing is, tank and slaying accessories are the only ones that are interchangable and remain useful when worn by the "wrong" role. For everyone else, the primary attack stat (dex/mind/int) is different and they don't benefit from it. This just evens it out so that nobody can share and nobody can get recommended the wrong items (as they do before Lv60).
