Request to unlock Hempen set styles

[Kryis]

It would be very nice to see gear that shows a lot more skin then covering up the whole body. ^^;

I don't think "unlock" is the right term. They have to re-design each hampen set for each race. The models were made for each race specifically. There is no magical button that will make the female roe set work on female au ra or such. Basically they have 6 models per gender that they have to re-create five more times ... That makes it 60 sets for both genders? (if my math isn't off due to lack of coffee in this hour) I can see why this isn't in their priority list.

I'm hardly an expert on stuff like this but i'm fairly sure that all they would have to do is alter each set to fit that of each of the races, not actually remake them. Still will take time regardless if that's the case but not nearly as long as it would remaking them from the ground up.

Almost a year ago. I'm wondering if it will be unlocked in the cash shop.

WH-... *deafening cough* Don’t give them ideas!

I've been against this from the beginning... but it sounds more and more like it's going to happen anyway... so I was thinking about ways to implement it in game.

Personally, I hope they don't go the cash shop route. I actually think a fun way to add the items in to the game would be through a Fashion Report update. Right now there are only three unlocks to the shop at 100, 300 and 600 Fashion Report points. I propose that "hempen" styles get unlocked at something ridiculous... like 2000 Fashion Report points.


Also, rather than change the existing Hempen Camise, Hempen Undershirt, Hempen Pantalettes, and Hempen Underpants... add new items that replace the word "hempen" with _______ (race name). For example, Roegadyn Undershirt, Highlander Camise, Au Ra Underpants, Miqo'te Pantalettes.

That way, players' existing inventories will not be affected by the addition of the style unlocks. If changes were made to the already existing camise, it will inevitably create some kind of issue with which item ends up in players' inventories/glamour dressers, etc. For example, Player A spent 1mil gil (based on my server's prices) on two General Purpose Pure White Dye and applied them to Hempen top and bottom in the glamour dresser. After proposed update the hempen style is changed to an alternate style that Player A doesn't necessarily like... so now they are out 1mil gil if they want to change it. Adding the style unlocks as separate items could circumvent situations like that, as the existing hempen items, and by extension players' current inventories, will remain unchanged.


Lastly, if the styles are added in as new items, I would personally like the dev team to use this as an opportunity to make small visual updates to them as well. Perhaps texture updates, to give them a sense of being made out of fancier materials and maybe adjusting the dyeable portions of some. If they go this route, I also wouldn't mind seeing some extreme changes made to the female highlander camise and pantalettes. For example, removing the the thigh "bandages" from the pantalettes, removing the leather crest thing from the center of the camise, and changing the brown leather portions of the camise and pantalettes to be effected by chosen dye color. I can only speak on the that set though, because that's the only race I've used and I honestly haven't looked at the other races hempen styles enough to critique changes I'd like to see made to them.

My two cent attempt at being constructive to the idea.

I am not really against the whole Mog shop thing as I just like to see them finally in the game. well for the Fashion thing is all fine and stuff but to behonest it's ok as far as add on to GS but the thing that screams out it's like grinding and takes forever to build up like the tiger mount and 2 seat Pegasus mount. Or there could be a special shop NPC that sales them. personally would be something crafters can make as a level 1 gear piece. I hope they don't really change the designs as most gear pieces don't really change for each race other then these and the starter gear pieces (also a couple between male and female versions). Either way I hope we can finally see these in the game.

I'd love to have au ri gear on my miqote

Still looking for more RSE, personally.
We have far too little.

I like having something that only my race can use since everything else looks the same on everyone. I also really have no interest in seeing lala underboob in the highlander top....

How about instead of spending time on this you take some time to make more than one partition with a door for housing? or maybe a vertical half wall partition.. things that might actually be useful for us.

You... Why did you say Lala underboob. I tried to mentally picture it and regretted it. XD
