Gear Sets

[Altena]

As quoted by Yoshi in the live letter, you have 3 options for pieces that you use for different gear sets-

You either have to obtain two of the same items and equip them to each gear set.
Or equip them manually
Or use macro's to switch.

did you manage to catch the time stamp on the video where he said that?

EDIT Found it. In the live letter III it starts at 1:10:43

"Again, we want to hear what fans think about these methods (during the beta)"

For me, I think it's a terrible idea. What if I want to use my INT+ head-piece on WHM? I need to change to BLM and un-equip and then change back? This is far more work than equip macros.

Yoshida also mentions that they're trying to work out an "alias" system, which will allow your gearslots to use the same item across all sets. So it's still something that they're looking into. I personally think the gearsets will work fine, though not as wonderfully as I originally thought they would.

The problem is the planned GearSet actually is an additional gear inventory in disguise. Each slot holds an actual item. I am assuming what we want is gear set hold the reference (shortcut) to the gear, in that case we will able to hold same reference (of an item) in different gearset. But the item itself will stay on bag inventory slot (just like current inventory).

CMIIW on this. If anyone has better idea on how it should be implemented (technically), please share, we need to give them good input.

shouldn't we wait for Beta to give input? not that they will change it now...

at least we can discuss what are possible implementations that will satisfy most of us. Is there any other MMO that implement this?

That's right! As was mentioned in the Producer Letter Live, though the macro feature will not make it into the Alpha version, it will be implemented with the Beta, so we would love for you all to try it out then and offer your feedback.
