Reworking the Glamour System

[Enkidoh]

Yoshi and SE know people want a glamour log as it's been requested repeatedly since pretty much the game was released, the simple fact is they can't, due to how the game is programmed (specifically, how the client reads gear appearence, it's not as simple as you would think). Glamour prisms and the glamour dresser use workarounds simply to make glamour work.

The game was designed as a closed system to ensure it's base functions were stable and worked as well as they could (as it was replacing the barely functional and buggy version 1.0, so SE were desperately trying to restore player confidence), but this meant they had to put 'fluff' features like glamour on the backburner, and thus the game was not designed to accomodate glamour features originally - they've had to work around the programming to get it to function.

So alas a glamour log simply will never be added I'm sorry to say.

Do you have any idea what a weak-sauce excuse that is? The game wasn't originally designed to do a lot of things it currently does. The game wasn't originally designed to have players flying around a map (a much larger change than a glamour catalogue would be). The game wasn't originally designed to allow leveling outside the normal class system, but we have several examples of that now. The game wasn't originally designed to have glamour at all... guess what we have.

The idea that a particular thing is "impossible" because of how the game was originally designed is insane. It's just code. It might not be simple, but nothing is impossible.
