A Thought In Regards To The Glamor Unshackling

[NegativeS]

Based on their recent, more detailed explanation, the issue is too many items being held in server memory. But given the glamour dresser has pages, they should simply load it by page number and that way have unlimited slots.

No reason to store every single item.

Store a singular list of every single item somewhere (like I'm sure they already have buried in the spaghetti somewhere), then server-side, assign to every character/service account an array of trues/falses that corresponds to those items. When a character soulbinds to an item, set that character's entry for that item in the array to 'true'. (Depending on how spicy they want to be this could be as small as bytes of additional storage load per service account)

When you open the Glamour Catalogue, fetch the existing list-of-every-item (which could be stored client side if you really don't want that extra bandwidth), then for every 'true' the character's array has, display that item as available to glamour.

No storage required.

I mean I agree with you, and that's why the only explanation a person can come up with is that they think they lack sufficient HDD space for those true/false bits/bytes.

Yet they manage it with the ever expanding list of achievements so there is a certain degree of contradiction. It's why I struggle to have faith in their programming department. They can't possibly know what they are doing.

First off, as an amateur Fashion Fantasy player, I'm all for this unshackling. Long overdue if'n you ask me~! But with that unshackling comes an ever-present worry...glamor dresser space to put it all! Fortunately, I've thought on the subject a bit, and I've devised three things that might help remedy this.

(But before I begin: the Outfit Glamor system STILL does not cover the Sophist's set and the #55 set, which seems like a really weird oversight, since both sets are purely glam, and should probably be fixed!)

ONE: THE ARMOIRE
As-is, the Armoire is good, but weirdly limited in matters outside of stashing event and store items. Thus, I posit an expansion of its features, letting it be the place where ALL job-specific and relic stuff is placed. A quick-and-easy one-stop shop for all this stuff, be they replica or original.

This should've been a thing ages ago. I still think it's bizarre only the ARR artifact sets are Armoire compatible (and not even their upgraded version that the game just hands to us now!)

I like to think they're going to expand the outfit glamourer system, but most of my dungeon gear is from non-leveling so they are incomplete sets and I really don't want to imagine how long it would be if I needed to farm each piece to fold them into 1 slot too.

That's another thing they need to fix. It makes sense for current endgame gear to be more difficult, but there's no good reason to make it harder to get gear from a level 60 dungeon than from 59 or 61. The dungeons also drop less actual gear than the levelling dungeons, since coffers only have a chance to contain left-side pieces rather than guaranteed in levelling dungeons.

I mean, it would make me super happy if they let us have the old capped dungeon gear and old ARs if I could trade in items for the missing parts.

Sure, if they want to make the newest expansion dungeons have more re-playability, but who cares that much for ShB dungeons gear sets other those few ppl addicted to glam farming like I am would be relieved.

No thanks to the 2nd one, i like mix and matching paladin weapons.
Ideally, the armoire would become the collection tab some day

[Asari5]

depending on the abo players can create up to 40 characters. they need enough useable memory space to ensure there wont be a proplem if a lot of people suddenly decide to create several alts each. for exemple armoire and glam chest for each and everyone of them.

if they make an accountwide glam catalogue they could even safe memory space.

just imagine the space 40 full armoires need. space that is unusable for anything else no matter if the armoir is actually full on all 40 chsracters or not.

I think They said after they take care of housing interior upgrade, they will work on glamour dresser and plate

Anyone saying this is stupid....why...this is like the best news ever. I saw someone on twitter demanding this never happens...like this is modding for non modders so why would u be against something that modders have been doing for years???
