    Casting glamours on retainers

    This update definitely improved casting glams on retainers but it still only gives you access to the regular glamour casting window. In comparison casting glamours on squadrons gives you access to both the glamour dresser and the armoire. Why is this ancient and abandoned piece of content more advanced than the newly released feature?

    Because you can only cast glamours on squadrons when you're in the barracks, which provides access to the glamour dresser and armoire databases.

    They could potentially open up retainer glam in this way specifically only when you're in an Inn room or the barracks, but that would mean making two separate systems. They could still do it, but this seems like a suitable stop gap for the time being.

    I would actually prefer it being able to access the glamour dresser even with the restriction of it only being available in an Inn over the current system. I dont want to change my retainer glam that often.

    They should if expected players to want access to their dressers/armoire where most of the items they are likely to use, are held.

    No one reasonable(or has endless space beyond the current limits, Cash ot Not) would Carry the items on hand when the, albeit boxed in, system already exists.

    While the likelihood that the system could be unchained is always Stop or Go.
    At this point they must know that we cannot will not accept any less that functioning if they plan 10 more years.

    Safe to say that everyone was hoping to be able to use the Glamour Dresser.

    It's still faster to remove all of your retainer's gear, equip it, glamour it using the Glamour Dresser and put the gear back on them. It's also a lot more convenient since everyone keeps their glam gear in their dresser, not on themselves.

    To me, this new feature is a waste except for the new Dye option.

    They should put a summoning bell in the barracks. Or have your retainers appear there in person when they are not on a venture.

    That would be cool. Just relaxing or eating or working on paperwork on a desk with a couple of miscelaneous items shown next to them like the eggs they keep bringing back.
