[Suggestion] Fashion/Vanity Slots.

[NoctisUmbra]

Adding vanity slots properly doesn't force anything on players who chose to appear the way they do now. They aren't mandatory to use.

Some people just want to look presentable and or themed a certain way without having to sacrifice stats. There are some gear options in the game that look awesome but aren't used at all because their stats aren't desirable. An in game option to control how you appear to everyone is not even remotely comparable to dat swapping.

Are you honestly arguing that you won't be able to turn off seeing someone appear to be wearing a buccaneers shirt even though they may have a corselet underneath, or someone who wants to appear in full DRG AF even thought they use better gear options?

So long as event item and class/job restrictions are in place, I can't come up with any reasonable cause for being against seeing people the way they chose to appear.

For me it would be fine with these Restrictions cause then the Situations couldnt happen what i wanted a toggle for. (I still think for pvp Vanity gear should be toggled off) But what do you think if they make these restrictions gonna happen.

Majority of ppl will start complaining about the restrictions cause they wont be able to use the gear they would like (cause of them i wanted a toggle). I don't care if ppl use style gear that fits for their job/level, i just don't want these Absurdities (Santa/Reindeer/Yukata/etc) outside of town when fighting or doing other stuff.

I highly, highly doubt they will allow event gear. They actually care about the look of the game, and considering Yoshi P's thoughts on vanity, especially when it comes to PvP, anyone who expects an unrestricted vanity slot system is in for a surprise.

You can bet whatever system of restrictions is in place, myself and other awesome people will slot the most ridiculous combinations we can just to chafe those who hardcore rage over it.

Jester hats and subligars. Deal with it.

Lol, so long as they go by those restrictions, more power to ya. You won't find me raging over it if it works out.

Regardless all of this is beyond the launch of ARR. I'm sure this topic will be discussed even more to death on the ARR forums after the game is launched.

Did you ever play FFXI? lol. Due to the limitations of the system people made so many amazing armor dats that was widely used that even SE adopted for one of their armor designs in CoP.

I'm not ashamed to admit in XI was a avid .dat swapper (Textures only no replacing chests for flagpolls crap) I also made a good deal of .dat mods myself my Fomor Corsair was fairly popular back in the day.

There will likely be restrictions on what can be placed in a vanity slot. I doubt you will be able to use gear obtained through seasonal events.

The only problem I have with a toggle is, SE has a really great screenshot/hosting service on the lodestone.

Could you imagine how annoying it would be to spend a bunch of time to put together your ideal look to see someone post screenshots/video of you in your clown suit?

I mean, maybe that's selfish, but I also feel it kills any positive PR that might come from having a vanity system.

Would happen the other way as well lol. Besides we have people turning off their helmets, have a group of people in awesome tank gear and then one person wants to rebel out with their head or weapon gone. Y U NO HAVE GEAR?

I would really love a camera system (some sort of editing mode where you can choose angle and distances with ease, perhaps let it temporarily boost graphics for best SC possible - share camera options (someone sets up everyone can grab their own screenshot from camera), turn on/off vanity, on/off weapons/helmet). Could evolve it into a movie system later when they have time, good for fan made stuff.
