I need to change my glamour plate.. whenever

[Hasrat]

Hm. I was under the impression it had more to do with server load. Like, in designated areas, the game simply has less loading to worry about, with no enemies dying/respawning, no FATEs (maybe the occasional seasonal), no gathering nodes, etc. Adding mass glamouring on top of all of that could be a significant strain maybe? Although, city states are exponentially more player-crowded, so maybe it's a null issue.

They did a poll on what we'd like to see with glamour plates and the top winners were more places we could use them and number of plates with more storage being 3rd. We could see expansions on the system during Shadowbringers lifetime.

Poll is a bit of a stretch. Didn't they just judge the amount of screaming done when presented with each option at the NA fanfest?

This is what S-E really said. Like most inconvenient restrictions it's a tech issue rather than an arbitrary design. You can't glam many pieces at once in combat zones due to potential server stress. Same reason they restricted the locations that job equipment boxes can be unpacked, and glamor dressers can be accessed. Back in hw they were even worried about placing fc chests in ishgard and idyllshire due to server load in high populous areas, but I guess that turned out to be a non issue because we ended up getting chests in kugane and reach.

This restriction pretty much makes the glamour dresser an unusable system for me...

When I think of when I would want to be changing jobs, a lot of time it would be outside of the main city.

Then I thought well Gathering would also be outside of the main cities...
Then I thought Crafters, I might be able to use the system for Crafters...

But then I realized that the namazu area would be outside and wouldn't work with the glamour dresser.



So until such a time as glamour plates can be applied anywhere, I have no use for this system.

As long as you have regular glamours that you want to apply repeatedly to gear, there is definitely some use for the glamour dresser. It's fantastic for that.

I have plates set up for classes that I'm currently leveling, and multiple costumes for my main classes. One of my alts has six different healer glamours that I can apply to gear when I feel like it - as long as I'm in a town, of course, but I'm there often enough.

Any time I upgrade gear, I just stamp the glamour plate back over it and I'm back to my proper costume design. No prisms required, and no need to carry the 'projected' gear. Also so much better for including specific jewellery, or hiding it.

They could just add a changing tent when inside would be a safe area. Then could change glamour plates outside of cities and not worry about being attacked.
