[Revolutionary idea] Inventory congestion is over !

[Zofis]

Yep, this is essentially the same exact system Diablo 3 uses for transmogrification. Blizzard is currently working on something similar for WoW and it's decade+ worth of armor sets as well.

It's a proven system at this point. Hopefully something similar can be implemented into XIV without too many technical hurdles.

I had a similar idea for the glamour system as well. Kind of a template saving.

I would pay extra money to play on a server where glamor items didn't exist; where everybody appeared to wear exactly what's equipped. I can't fathom the need to be a special snowflake at all times.

The glamour saved me when the 100 soldiery gear have been added. The BLM one was so awful with this plastic tail I was happy to be able to wear something else.
And without glamour everyone would look like everyone. The time there were no glamour on MMO was pretty boring. You're a job but everyone with the same job looks like exactly like you, especially the tanks. Only the NPC were able to have their own identity with the same job.

this kind of attitude stinks. what is wrong with being able to have your armour with the stats you want looking how you want it to look? good grief

the best idea would be to completely eliminate the HQ version of "every" single fck* mat. those using DOUBLE the inventory needed. or create and NPC that will exchange 5-15 NQ mats (depending on rarity, ie., 1,3, 3* need more NQ for exchange).
will still have the NQ/HQ crafted gear but at least no more HQ mats.

I can't fathom the need to force every person to look pretty much the same, when one of the greatest parts of an MMO is the personalization of your character.

I normally oppose necro-ing 3 month old threads, but since the OP is the one who did it, and actually edited his post (to include the ideas people originally posted in this thread) for the sake of getting some attention for the live letter, instead of making a new thread about the same thing, I give it my whole-hearted approval

[OMEGA_HACK]

I approve, and for people saying that it would be a burden on the character data, the way to make that work is that say when you get the item you can "unlock" its image, from there you can discard the item and never hold it again (since glamour items are usually not the best gear around) The only thing that gets saved on the character side of things would be the same workings as lets say an achievement system, which is hardly burdening to the character. If anything it will lessen character burdening because people will no longer be obligated to hold onto those glamour items. And of course it would follow the rule of once the image it unlocked it becomes bound to prevent the collapse of the economy by just recycling the same exact piece of glamour gear.

While i like the idea after reading the way the op demanded SE do what he says on the recent live letter questions i can not support him. Fix the attitude if you want people to take you seriously.
