Thread: WHY THO? - Glamour Log

Hey remember that thing everyone wanted for a glamour dresser?

HERE IT IS. EXCEPT, FOR HOUSING.



Then all you would need is that little tick to show if you've owned the item before, just like the gathering log. Then you could add it to Plates from there.

I just want a better glamour system.

I think this is about a bad system, they've already implemented and feel like they have to stick with, spaghetti code and resources. At the moment your character carries so much data, it's ridiculous. I have no idea why they don't just move it to a central system.

So, like everything else I guess but MAN that slap in the face getting it with the housing stuff instead.

If they have to disable current Glamour dresser for a time to give us a system like this, I am TOTALLY OK WITH THAT.

This is likely why. Housing was added later and is it's own thing. I'm guessing it's not as intimately linked with your inventory as Gear is. There is no reason for the game to query if you have something in your house other than a mini aetheryte in relation to your character. Housing has it's own separate storage too. This is the difference between them working on something they have built, as opposed to something they have to build upon.

.

They have the exact system already in place with the crafting, gathering, sightseeing, flight, duty logs. Just that tick. Has this character made/gatherered/unlocked this before? yes/no. Tick, no tick. It is a TINY amount of info. If yes, they could make it so you can order it in via mog mail or something to apply it to a plate then just delete the item.

God, it would free up so much server strain.
