So glamour plates are dumber than anticipated...

I just remembered why this new system is still not on par other MMOs. It's limited by consoles, or rather just the PS4. As powerful as the PS4 is, there is only so much it can do when compared to a PC. I really hope I'm wrong though on this one but it does sorta make sense the more you think about it.

Or rather than this short-sighted view and shaming the PS4, which by the way is not nearly as limited as you are claiming, maybe it's because the game engine itself is outdated and broken, given that it's still the 1.0 engine with a lot of bandaids applied to it. Leave the PC master race comments elsewhere...like reddit.

I didn't realise how flawed the system was until I had already emptied two retainer's worth of glam items to the dresser. It's good to get space, sure, but I'm so annoyed I can't change the order of the glams (like I did with the items in the retainer inventory) or change my glamour easily anymore when getting several gear pieces in a dungeon/raid. Having all jobs at 70 doesn't help. I was all starry-eyed when I thought I could have a healer circlet with paladin armour and have different outfits on each tank, but nope. Should've known it was too good to be true.

Frankly, I'm so bummed by this that I might just unsub. Glamour is my endgame, but I've been gradually losing interest in this game. The story doesn't tickle my fancy the same way it did in Heavensward and most of my old ingame friends have gone to the four winds and I've been thinking about giving up on my house, even though I'm very proud of the decoration and have stayed subbed since housing was introduced for the sake of said house. This glam business is just the final nail on the coffin.

Guess I can just hope they have stuff fixed by the next expansion and return then, since it seems to bother me so much. *shrug*

Not sure if you're after something more specialised, or something else entirely, but all the basic mage-equipment circlets are 'all classes' so can be glamoured onto your paladin.

Oh my god, Had the same reaction when I realised restrictions weren't lifted once items were put in the dresser (even though the item descriptions vanished). Starry-eyed for sure...
Literally listed all the gripe I have with this system!! bravo/brava

Yeah the system is really half thought out and dumb. It's almost as if the SE team has no concept of how to make decent character customization, which to be fair is a problem with most MMOs.

I refuse to use this system because i do not want my gear pieces friggin' Destroyed. So i'll just suffer with the inventory space.

If it's gear you're only using for glamour, why is this a problem?

down this line of questioning madness lies. The irrationality.. the misunderstanding.. oh lord. I suggest you just not respond to this kind of negativity.

Well, it's certainly a more limited system than what we were hoping for.

As a casual glamour user it actually meets my needs fairly well. I have a couple of favourite outfits saved to Plates and it'll be nice to be able to quickly re-apply them when I upgrade gear for my main jobs.
For the occasional holiday outfit or lesser played job I don't mind having to visit the inn to set up a plate then recycle the plate for something else later.

I do think the system needs to be improved (more storage, more plates, ability to switch outside of settlements, ect) but I don't think the base is all that bad. It's really nice being able to glamour Armoire items with no prisms and the ability to dye the plates themselves could let one preserve several expensive dyes on one item if you had the plates to spare for each colour.
