    So the new Egi Glamour system?

    So we are finally getting the Egi-glamour system, took awhile right? But there was one thing I noticed about it in the preliminary notes. It says that the glamous wont be visible in PvP areas. Now for the moment I guess that isn't that bad since the glamous we have are only surface glamours. But I would hope that would change once more Egis become available, as well as the attack animations, since Shiva doing wind attacks doesn't seem right.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    it is one of those "fair play" things, along the same vein of why glamours don't show in pvp (least I don't think they do haven't notice/checked) For example a green carby doesn't run up to you and ifrit stun you etc.

    they have egi-glamour disabled just because any egi-glamour can be added to any egi and in pvp that is a disadvantage for others, since they don't know what egi it is, so i don't think egi-glamour is going to be added or we summoners or scholars have a advantage in pvp

    League of Legends changes aesthetics for entire champions, it's silly that we can't do the same for this game's pets.

    You still know what Champion you are playing against. Egis are 3 entities, a player could take the 3 carbuncles and mix-match them in such a way to confuse the target as to be unaware to which one they actually have out. That's the issue, it creates an unfair advantage of changing it's visual appearance and having to rely on the text name to know what pet is out(If it doesn't also change the name of the pet). For all we know when you have Garuda set as Topaz Carbuncle it will say "Topaz Carbuncle" and the pet and not "Garuda"

    In fairness, they take great care that you can still see at a glance which champion it is, by keeping their distinct posture and silhouette intact.

    Plus...honestly, when a development team tries to push Ranked into a game in which like 95% of the playerbase doesn't even play PvP in the first place, you should expect their decisions regarding PvP to be a little hard to penetrate with common sense.

    Topaz carbuncle on an Ifrit-egi. One summon used for tanking to hide a harder hitting melee striker with a stun.

    Not everyone reads patch notes and while word spreads quickly, not everyone will hear it quickly enough; it's better to just disable it for PvP for people too lazy to read than to have them file fake reports of cheating/bug/glitch for being duped. That's what I'm figuring the logic is behind it. I think armor glamours are allowed in PvP now, but originally it wasn't. It might be removed in the future once a sufficient time has passed for people to realize glamours for summoners are a thing.

    Mostly, yes, because Garuda is ugly as sin and we lost access to such an adorable creature after level 45.
