Hidde Glamours Locally (& other graphically immersive options)

[Krotoan]

Disagree.

People glamour because they want others to see, letting other people decide what I look like goes against the whole point of glamour.

I glamour items because I want them to look a certain way on my character when I look at them. The point of a glamour is to have your character appear a certain way, but there needn't be a guarantee that EVERYONE should have to see that since this is a video game with mutable rules for who sees what.

If you're saying "hide every other PCs gear and show generic class-based gear", I think people would just get upset at that saying "everyone looks the same this is dumb".

Being that it would be an option, you could not use it if you think it's "dumb".

If you're saying the above, but only in dungeons, I feel you- that would probably be much easier to do and probably simple to make a single generic set per armor type.

It's not that much harder to do in the entire game in theory. The client would just render any PC that wasn't you in the generic sets.

BUT, what people are asking for is a way to hide specific gear because "omg mah immurshun". As in, people want to specifically hide 2B's legs, or the rabbit costume, or speedos. Do Devs need to go through every piece of gear to decide what makes the list or not? Or is it several check lists like "Swimwear" then "costumes" etc. Then do specific armors sets like Shisui of the Violet Tides count as armor or swimwear? Then what about the actual swimwear that is identical? It goes on and on.

We started at "Turn glamours off". Which has undesireable effects and doesn't really solve the problem.
I believe one or two people presented "select certain glamours to turn off". That solution is obviouslyt untenable and has many issues.

So another easier solution has been presented that solves the original problem yet considers others input and complexity considerations.

The problem is that people are being bothered/jarred/disturbed by certain non-standard, revealing or silly glamours. You can pick and choose the one solution someone presented that has issues just because you have a problem with people who want this.. or you can discuss what might actually be wrong with a viable solution.
