Glamours

[ZhaneX]

I'd like it if it were somehow possible to bind multiple glamours to a single piece of gear, then be able to select and set an appearance for a Gear Set. For instance right now I've got the Yafemi Turban of Aiming which I hate the look of. I glamour on the Aoidos Turban for my Bard. But that doesn't help my Machinist.

"Since these jobs all share equipment, each piece of gear would need to store the glamour data for each job. Each piece of gear would have three glamour slots, rather than just one. Maybe more, if we want to account for new jobs in the future who might also share that gear. This would greatly increase the amount of data associated with each piece of gear, which would require more storage space, impact latency, etc. So we are reluctant to do this."

Pretty much that. Still, he said "Reluctant". They're planning a system overhaul for 4.0, maybe if we keep asking for a more versatile glamour system, they'll work to include it then too?

They could make it possible (albeit difficult in some cases) simply by removing the "UNIQUE" tag from gear. Want a robe that has one look when wearing it as a White Mage, another when you wear it as a Scholar, and a third look when wearing it as an Astrologian? Just collect three of the same robe and glamour them differently. That version wouldn't require any change to how glamours work, would still allow gear sharing (by players who don't care about the different appearances), and would allow different appearances by players who are willing to get multiple pieces. The only thing holding it back is pieces that we're not allowed to get multiple versions of.

And how about a Dressphere system on our gear sets that let us save glamours there instead on each piece of gear. And it may also let us save hairstyles and hair colours so we can have diferent styles for each of our clases.
