I think I'm the only one who likes the glamour dresser.

It's pretty much what I hoped would be implemented as an alternative to the old system. Though it's still not perfect. The plates are a great idea, but there really needs to be an option to glamour an individual piece. But for now there are workarounds. Eventually I'd like to see a plate that clears all glamours from your current gear. But for now we still have dispellers. Great start so far and I can't wait to see this system evolve.

I'm waiting until they let you tie plates to jobs. Until then it sounds like far too much hassle for what it can do.

I haven’t messed with the dresser yet. You’re telling me if I have a plate to WHM and a plate for AST that when I switch jobs I also have to switch plates? With that, I will keep using the old glamour system because that sounds annoying AF.

apparently there's a macro workaround for this, I forget what exactly it is but it's something like the gearset macro now takes 2 arguments, so the first number is the gearset and the second is the glamour plate (or something like that, there's a thread about it somewhere)

You can macro your gearsets to your plates.
All you have to do is /gearset change X Y
X = gearset number
Y = plate number
That way you can quickly apply the plates to your gearsets as you change jobs.

It is not different from the old system at all in this regard.

OLD SYSTEM:
I glam stuff one by one on my white mage
I glam stuff one by one on my AST
Some gear was shared and unique, so I just accidentally broke my white mage look when I switched jobs.
now I have to reapply my glamour anytime I switch from WHM to AST and back because I'm using shared unique gear.
Because i"m using the old system that means having the equipment and lots of glamour prisms

"New system"
I apply a plate that has all my glam stuff white mage
I apply a plate that has all my glam stuff for AST
Some gear was shared and unique, so I just accidentally broke my white mage look when I switched jobs. (the plate itself is still fine)
now I have to reapply my glamour anytime I switch from WHM to AST and back because I'm using shared unique gear.
Because i'm using the plate system that means I don't need the equipment or glamour prisms, but I need to be in a city.

So literally the only thing that changes is the last line about what it costs.

Stop thinking of it as a different system. It's just the old system in bulk.

Which is why you can also do this:

I apply a plate with only my armor
I use old system to glam my weapons

or this
I apply a plate
I reglam individual items on top of it using old sytem
I switch jobs and back and still have the mixed look because it's not like anything is actually tied to plate

absolutely no different than reglamoring using the old system other than having multiple items done at once and no glamour prisms every time you reglamor.

Like a lot of features in XIV, they tend to introduce it; then improve it later.

It is my hope they do the same for the glamour dresser, as it is quite flawed atm (I thought they were going to allow us to have different glamours via the plates for jobs of the same role??)

Most people like it, it could just be a lot better.

But thats the problem we cant just say that..maybe most do maybe most dont. At least in the forum there are enough people annoyed at it and even on reddit we have negative opinions..but still those are only a small amount of players. So no we dont know that most people like it. Thats why they need ingame surveys because that would give them the true feelings of the whole player base..or at least a much bigger sample..

I mean they can go around and say that x amount of people use the dresser but does that necessarily mean that they truly like it? No they cant because there are many reasons to still use it even if you dislike it.

You can, indirectly...

Just use the macro

/gearset change 1 2

Where 1 is the gearset number, and 2 is the plate number.
What this will do is once you use your job switch macro, it switches to that job/gearset and applies the plate after you switch..

I haven't played around with it too much yet but my main critisism is that 10 plates seems a little bit too skimp.. As someone who plays a lot of classes, is an omnicrafter, and gatherer - the best thing about the dresser gets trivialised - being able to apply different glamours to shared pieces of gear (say SAM and MNK for example, or any of the DoH/DoL shared gear).. This is because to do this with just your crafters, would consume 8 of the 10 plates.. That's discounting DoL and battle classes.. :/

The other thing I don't like about it is the fact that they didn't release a craftable/purchasable dresser.. It's annoying to have to go to my Inn room just to access it. Houses / apartments / FC rooms / etc are just a lot more convenient.
