Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXXVII Discussion Thread

[Serilda]

If I have learned anything about SE in the last several years, it's that they will implement something in a way that is not how you expected and far more convoluted than necessary. Here's to hoping I'm wrong about the glamour situation

...that's true. What if they deal with it by deleting glamour entirely but letting you upgrade the stats on old gear via a long and arduous grind per item? We should brainstorm the worst ways they could fix it to make the eventual functionality seem less terrible in comparison!

Oh god, the nightmares... The terrible decisions they could make might include...

1. You must be level 70 to unlock the glamour log
2. You must grind Tomestones of Poetics to purchase an item that you use to save an item's appearance to the glamour log
3. You must grind Tomestones of Poetics to purchase an item that you use to "extract" an item's from the glamour log (likely this will put it physically in your inventory, where you will then glamour as we do now, and then you'll have to repeat #2 to put it back!)
4. Alternatively they might decide that the needed item would be a crafter thing (lol bought with scrips???)
5. Adding something to the glamour log destroys the item (means you'd have to clutter up your inventory until you're done leveling jobs)
6. Glamour log has a limit of <insert very low number here... 25? 50?> appearances that can be saved
7. I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THIS ANY MORE IT'S MAKING MY BRAIN HURT FROM THE TERRIBLENESS
