Glamour Dresser Changes

[Squintina]

I think they got a lot right.

Just the raid greed and the app premium isn't on-point.

But everything else they announced is pretty good, or at least interesting to wonder about until we get more details.

I posted this in another thread but here's what I'm excited about and why:
Release: Late May 2018 (yay in 5-6 weeks).
New MSQ. (I wanna know what happens next dammit)
New Sidequests (4 lords, Doman reconstruction,Hildibrand).
New instances (1 dungeon, 1 trial , 1 extreme trial , 1 ultimate, alliance raid, deep dungeon lvl 60+ 100 floors, Eureka Pagos - so much! And the new deep dungeon being difficult starting on floor 31 makes me wonder what type of difficulty this will be!).
Raid roulette with Alexander raids.
Beast Tribe (Namazu - crafting and gathering).
New custom deliveries NPC. Crafting/gathering side story related to alliance raid somehow (sounds interesting).
Glamour updates: can reclaim items from glamour dresser.
Job adjustments: DRK, SAM, AST (curious about that last one. I hope it's a weak instant damage spell similar to SCH ruin II so we have a real option for weaving our 15 ogcds when no hot/dot need refreshing and lightspeed isn't up).
Housing update: guestbook, mannequin.
Crossworld linkshell.

For me, these 2 things were enough to spoil the rest of the bunch. So...I want to be excited about something, but I'm not.

Based on what I've seen in places like Facebook and the Novice Network, the dresser change is likely a response to the sheer number of support tickets caused by people destroying gear and then wanting it back. Since you needed it for Eureka, lots of people ran into that. Many of them have no idea that Calamity Scavenger exists. For other gear, it spawns support tickets that have to be dealt with.

This is a smart move.

I mean, most of the patch looks good. That's the frustrating thing. The app nonsense and the alliance loot change are just so out of left field and WTF worthy that they've absolutely buried everything that we should be excited to be talking about.

Ah that makes sense about the glamour prisms. Honestly seemed like a dumb idea from the start though. Pfft. But yeah, smart move and it makes me really happy.

It truly is a shame, but you're absolutely right. Those are just so terrible that it's hard to think of anything else. But do I dare to hope that they'll listen? I mean, they did listen at the outrage with the housing situation... so maybe... just maybe .. they'll actually reconsider this. I mean, I'm not holding my breath here but we'll see.

I'm really confused on the loot change though. What even made them think "Oh yeah, this is a great idea!"?? I mean.... okay, I guess because it's catch up gear maybe the idea is that people will mostly use the gear for their alts. In which case, if it's their alts, then maybe they want to play their main class. Soooo, lets let them play their main class to get gear for their alts! Honestly that's the only thing I can think of. But it's just so.... ugh. And the app nonsense. Dear god, SE. NO. I feel like we need to put SE in time out or something. Downright naughty.

This in a nutshell. I want more of the raid story, and the gear itself from it looks amazing. I want the deep dungeon. The glamour dresser changes are solid, and some places also say we're finally getting it tied to the gear sets? If that's the case I can officially use it, which is all I could've hoped for, really.
And ofc the bunny outfit. Cuz that's a 4.3 thing as well I think :3c

Re: why not just add a glamours log, I think it's a storage issue. Because it means they need to potentially save twice the information for everything in the log for you, log entry + actual item. They're saving up on space by forcing it to still be in your inventory they just give you a system to manage the whole thing. Twisted but what isn't in this game and its legacy code, sadly

I'll be more "stoked" when they announce search, sort and filter improvements for interfacing with the dresser. Setting plates to gearsets is a welcome addition. However, the entire processes, in its current form, isn't exactly what I would call "user friendly" or "streamlined."

Oh and hopefully being able to glamour our retainers with plates, complete with option to preview the plate on our retainers, would also be a welcomed update. Not all of my retainers are of the same race or gender, and we all know that some gear likes to change form significantly when equipped to the opposite gender.

Was that announced as coming next or still in the works? Are we getting a plate per gear set or are we still limited to 10?

[Reinha]

Any changes to the locations where plates can be applied?

[SigmaOZ]

Don't praise them that much though or they'll believe they have done everything and won't bother improving features further, for example I expected them to have increased the number of plates and the places where the dresser can be used and it was not mentioned at all!...

In my personal case, I need the Glamour Dresser system to have more plates (35+), to have more places where it can be used and to have macro support in order to change outfits fast, until that happens it's not really useful because it has a limited potential!...
