Glamour Outfits are embarrassingly badly implemented

[Astronema]

common makai gear is an outfit from the gold saucer, the makai gear from the priest that is dyeable isn't.

They said at one point that they tried putting a glamour dresser in a house and it crashed the server. This is a very well coded game.

The fact that encountering a single bug while developing a new feature made them give up and the community just accepts that as reasonable is astonishing.

I like it as it saves a ton of space in the dresser, the fact it can't store dye sucks, but just leave those ones out, any other sets that I haven't slapped expensive dyes on are condensed to save space.

Looking forward to them expanding it to include higher level gear, just being able to store artifact gear as one slot will save me a ton of space.

Yet I can use my FC orchestrion in the FC house and have it play any of the orchestrion rolls I have obtained myself...

Everyone has the same Orchestrion list so this is a simple toggle on and off. Getting a roll just unlocks that slot, not adding to it.

I know people who like to sell them will strongly disagree but I think dyes requiring a consumable needs to be removed. It should be you acquire it once and then you have access to that dye.

If they REALLY wanted to have a middle ground maybe require that dye to have been used once for each gear piece slot. But once you've used a dye on a gear type you should have it forever.

I was honestly fine with most of the implementation (having to get multiple copies of one item is stupid, but whatever, it's something else to work towards), but what really tilted me is seeing that we cannot save the actual Makai Gear as Glamour Outfits, but we CAN store the Tarnished Makai Gear (the Gold Saucer copies) as one. Feel kind of shafted, having done so much PVP to get every single Makai item.

I really hope more items get the Glamour Outfit feature in the future.

- Right, so although they've stated that we're only able to store a specific selection of items in the Glamour Dresser as Outfits - namely Lv.1 glam gear - they do plan on expanding the Outfit category to cover more sets in the future. As the Tarnished Makai gear are Lv1 glam version of the actual Makai gear - so the Tarnished gear is Outfit ready.
- As someone whose done enough PvP to also purchase all of the Makai gear, I was also frustrated with how much room it took up in my Glamour Dresser - however, don't be too afraid to trash the gear that you're not currently using. Once you've purchased a piece of Makai gear from the Wolves' Den you're able to re-purchase the same pieces from a Calamity Salvager (one in each of the three starter cities) or a Journeyman Salvager (housing vendor) for 1,000 gil each.

They sell rare dyes for real money, so the odds of them doing that are slim.

I'm holding out hope that this is a similar situation to when they first released the Glamour Dresser and you couldn't even retrieve items you put in there that they eventually changed. Maybe one day glamour outfits will be able to be dyed and/or it will resemble a proper glamour log.

I guess the degree to which you use the "dye in the dresser" feature would determine how you feel about the update. It definitely allows one to have more items in the dresser, but it is kind of a roundabout way to do that.

A full collection based system (log?) would be preferable, but I've kind of lost hope for that. The FFXIV team seem to be content with just adding on to existing systems rather than creating band new systems. That said, the armoire pretty much is a collection based system. It does require you to put stuff in it, but it seems just be a checklist of things you have. I have not seen any evidence that there are limits to the amount of items that can be storable. They keep adding more and they recently added a huge amount of shop items. I would say make everything storable (maybe improve the interface too) and let the glamour dresser be the place to put dyed duplicates.

The dye system is rather weak anyway. They seem to have specifically made dyes that rarely match colors actually used in clothing, then if you dye everything to "match" some items dye poorly. They also made some really odd choices with the double dye system.

I honestly would not be mad if they took the game offline for any amount of time required to fix all these massive issues with their coding. If that's even possible; I don't know enough about it. They could even offer in-game perks for people who stay subbed. Can't imagine that it'd take more than a month to implement it if they work on it behind the scenes.
