Add more glamour plates

[Mahamon]

I wish they would do it like in ESO. Once you earn the gear, you get the pattern forever. There's no need to keep the actual gear. The system will log it for you. After that you can just go to the station and work on your glam. No point carrying the gear around and waste the space.

They're not gaining much from belt deletion since they're turning around and giving us more ring/weapon slots. Those resources are already mostly re-budgeted.

But I do think it's wild we don't have a glam plate per class at the very least. Whatever has to change for them to actually give us good glam and storage, I hope they decide to do it sooner than later.

Yes they are, because belts is a heck lot more than inventory slots. It's a calculation to everyone's stats, in-conjunction with the damage math reset being done in 6.0. This can be rather large, the less math the servers have to keep calculating does free up resources. There is definitely capacity being freed beyond slots, otherwise they would have just been additive in 6.0.

Math is a processing resource, items are a storage resource, these are not the same thing. Using the calculator on your phone does not take up harddrive space. Removing belts has nothing to do with the stat squish, they are separate endeavors. Belts are being removed because we're running out of armory space and they don't seem to have the ability to expand that. So they remove belts and redistribute those slots.

They are doing the stat squish because the numbers are reaching the limits of certain data sizes and going beyond those would require restructuring everything. For example the maximum value of an unsigned 32 bit integer is 4,294,967,295. Anything bigger than that and the number simply will not fit in the available data structure. Stat squishes are performed to keep numbers from ever reaching those critical points.

Also, math you only have to do once is not an expensive operation for the server. Our stats aren't changing during moment to moment gameplay, so they not being constantly recalculated by servers. They don't have to redo that math until we actually change our equipment. We're talking about machines that do millions of calculations in the blink of an eye, the different between adding up the stats from 14 items vs 13 is literally imperceptible.

gods yes. Paying money, and then having it take up space... wow, no... so much horrible.

Additional Glamor plates now available on Mogstation!

Honestly, I'm getting to the point that, as long as it was a forever unlock (and not a monthly fee) I would pay $5 for 5 glam plates.

Yoshi-p: write that down, write it down!

I know, it's sad, I feel like this means they broke me, that I'm willing to pay for what should be basic functionality...

[BuggyGamer]

Definitely agree! More plates are needed. Some of my classes share plates, but there are some that I like having an individual look for since I want them to have a certain "aesthetic" to them when I play. I already struggle with the amount that is available because of this. I can only imagine how much more annoying it will be once they add in the two new classes.

I totally support this. I have used 15 glamour plates and it is currently exact as of the moment for each of the battle class that are sharing gears. So my DRG and NIN don't use plates. My BLU who is capped at 70 doesn't also need a plate. With Sage and Reaper about to come in, I would like to have a minimum of additional 3, one for sage who will share the healer gear, and one each for DRG and Reaper as they would be sharing gears.

For more wishful thinking, I'd like to have a plate for each job, whether they are DO, DOM, DOH or DOL. For good measure add in all limited jobs too as a bonus.
