Cool stuff!
That glamour system sounds alright! That was my main "problem".
I do of course know how the basics work, I mean, I was here until iLevel 100 at least (I think it's 106 with my earrings and such). That was exactly the reason why I asked for glamour. Unlike in GW2, where you hit the ceiling and nothing changed anymore really, here I changed my gear every couple of weeks. But once you get used to one of your gear, when it's really reflecting your personality (yes, I love tail-coat wearing midgets with tophats and gauntlet gloves!), then I'd be in a bad situation - and could only wear my trademark outfit in the towns or in low-level areas. Thank god none of the stipulations tied to the glamour system do not matter then. When my gear changes - which will be always higher than iLevel 100 - I hopefully can keep it.

Just out of curiousity, does it not seem strange to see a person wearing low-level clothes while actually it's glamoured full-stat gear? As far as I understood Frizze (and that's also the better approach to the whole thing) I can make look good gear look like beginner's gear (but not the other way around, which would not be the case because everything > Evenstar's iLevel now^^). It appears to also work on weapons. My Atma Stardust - which stats are outdated and probably to be replaced soon - can be "put over" the new staff?

Also thanks Frizze about the auto attack thing. I totally forgot how that was. It feels just strange to me coming from a game with fast-paced combat into a game where I take hits while casting. Sure, I know the enemies will die from it, but it looks like I am enjoying some voluntary spanking. Dr.Who up there is right with the level difference, but if I start the beef..............


The grouping in itself is not bad. Actually, it is why I remember this game fondly. I have "file footage" from January of 2014 (that's when NV_ENC - a.k.a. ShadowPlay was available for my GPU) where I had nice chats because of a tank that left and we waited for replacement in Aurum Vale. But before quitting, I met so many elitist people it was just insane. Even math could not help them and we took like 30 seconds longer because I used a different rotation in Brayflox Hard (Haha, all this ancient stuff you probably not even remotely play anymore, I feel like that grandpa telling old stories!) and it caused much mad beef. Tanks were $@~# because they could, friends ganging up on you and kick you before the boss room to let friends in and the general French group that does not understand a single word of the world's language, forcing you to skip cutscenes (those you can't rewatch at the inn) really ASAP which made the missions feel disconnected and in general want players to know the dungeon BEFORE entering it, which is like reading the Tomb Raider guide book before actually playing with Lara.. Maybe that's where my concerns are coming from.

Despite having 600 days of experience as Scholar, Bard and Blackmage, I am trying to find a newbie guild. I never managed to keep virtual friends that long, and Pugs, oh dear...

Oh, about the BLM 50+ quests, appearently and according to the BLM page on the Lodestone, the questgiver is the same as before (the Lalady in Ul'Dah), but I might trigger these really only upon stepping a feet in HW. That would be not so great, all the queue times together are several weeks, not to mention the 46,303 wipes :S Understandable, don't get me wrong, but also kind off-putting. So far, Nanamo has not even had her "delicious" wine....
