Remove gauss barrel attachment and just make it a buff please

[Colino]

This is good news about a future toggle for it showing on or off, I also think looks bad most of the time because it does not align or fit with most guns so I would like to toggle it off too even if only shows as on or off on my screen.

It's also just flat out ugly, most of the guns are big enough on their own.

Im pushing for 2-handed/carried rifles, scifi railguns and bazookas....and you people are getting pissy over the tiny pixels at the end of your peashooters. Le sigh...somewhere a lala fell backwards into a toilet and drowned in her own poop.

They could just make a new job that uses rifles or cannons.
And just because you don't care about it, doesn't mean the rest of us can't.
And I don't thinks there's any toilets in Eorzea for a Lalafell to fall into and "drown" in her own excrement... >w>

Sorry, they can't do this change because then MCH would be too much like BRD.

So we should put a goofy looking attachment on BRD bows? I'm game.

Please note that this feature will only hide the display of your character's gauss barrel and on your client only!

Well, it's a good start, I guess, but isn't this the sort of thing that would make more sense to expand to everyone's view? It seems a lot more akin to the show/hide toggles for helmets and sheathed weapons, or to the /visor command than it does to graphical effects display. (Not that I really have much personal interest in the question yet. I haven't even unlocked Machinist. But eventually I will.)

Animation for machinist casting needs work too. It's a gun, no need to wave it around like a wand.

Hey, machinists!

As you may recall, during the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVIII, Yoshida mentioned that they'll look into adding a text command which can be used to remove the graphical display of your gauss barrel. I'm pleased to let you know that this text command is currently planned to be implemented in Patch 3.3!

It's disappointing that it's client side only. I don't want others seeing it either to be honest. It makes it seem a quick fix rather than a properly implemented change.

I am totally with you on this. Most of their animations are just bad and hard to look at. While Dark Knights and Astrologians got some very nice looking motions, Machinist wielding it's long barrel, one handed pistol looks so off-putting. The running animation while the weapon is drawn is even worse to look at and just about everyone hates the way Gauss Barrel looks and its silly hand waving animation.

I truly hope MCH sees a fix to all of this some day but I won't hold my hopes up.

It is not that I necessarily care if others see it. The argument I give is that it was a lazy solution instead of actually taking the time to actually show the aesthetics to others around you. Last I recall, this is a AAA MMO, and amateurish things like this shouldn't be a thing.

Am I happy I don't have to see it? Sure. Should SE of taken the extra step? Absolutely. I expect better from them.

This.

It's like if you were to glamour your weapon but everyone still sees it as the weapon you're actually using. What was the point in glamouring it to begin with?

Also: Before any MCH animations get changed, Bard needs a serious animation rework. Tired of everything above my bard's waist and everything below acting like they are in two separate character models. The lore bow even has a texture glitch on the string, the class is an aesthetically displeasing mess right now.
