Also, dat music. Holy hell. They put these things together in so short a time.


RE: 2.4 Preview - Warren Castille - 10-17-2014

Ninja effects look massive. Not looking forward to having everything blotted out by huge blasts of icons and explosions.

Still, can't wait for the update.

My prediction: The Emperor is not dead, but was turned into a chocobo during a botched assassination attempt involving an incompetent servant who used the wrong poison. There will be a questline where we help him, and make him realize that it was wrong for him to invade Eorzea in order to build himself a vacation home for his birthday.

I am actually upset and not satisfied with 2.4's Gear Recipes aside from my excitement about Ninja, Shiva and the dungeons.

I was rather hoping they'd release Non-Class gears for glamour. But it seems like it'll be class/job restricted again. ._.

Also what's with all previous dungeon gears not releasing as craftables? Instead they released the lvl 1 race starting outfits instead. How ridiculous can this get?

Not dyeable, and not releasing gears that is Disciple of War/Disciple of Magic is a real turn off for me. Especially when glamour wouldn't let me wear Hussar's Jacket/Fistfighter's Jacket as PLD. I can't even dye these outfits! I am already upset that Wolfram set for LNC/DRG is class restricted when Cavalier exists for PLD/WAR/GLA/MRD. The worst part is it's white only so I am not satisfied.

I really don't want to level certain job ONLY to wear these outfits. I am perfectly okay with not able to wear Disciple of Magic gears when I am PLD, but restricting me out of other outfits? Please. I really don't want to wear low level simple gears as of right now and glamour them but I want to glamour these HM dungeon gears - and I'd like to wear something different for colors. 

Honestly, I feel like I am the ONLY person who cares about this game not being more lenient on glamour and dyes on certain gears that drop in this game. Though I really think they should fix this if possible.

You're not the only person. But this has been noted with every patch. The trend is, and always has been with MMOs, end-content first, role-play functions last. Take what you can get with each patch, and hope that bigger changes may be made with the next expansion.

You're asking for DoW and DoM restrictions? That causes problems with the way things are itemized. DoW gear would need to include ALL of the martial classes (can't leave out bard!) so they'd need to weigh str/dex/vit. This would make the equipment inferior to specialized versions, blah blah blah etc.

We'll likely be getting new craftables in the future to cover cavalry/et al to make those dyeable. Odds are that we're never going to see unrestricted gear that isn't just clothes (like the tux/dresses).

Personally, I'd rather have new models than repaints. Repaints can get added later, and I'd rather have more variety now.

I think she just meant unrestricted glamours. We should be able, and I agree, to glamor WHM gear on top of PLD plate for example. It doesn't change the stats of the gear, just the model overlay.

And if SE claims that it DOES change the stats, then they have horrible coders for making it that way. Stat code and Image code should be separate modules with no bearing on each other.

Even if it may not be the gear saying "DoW" or "DoM", at least the Glamour rules should be bent saying that people can wear these gears as long as they are part of DoW or DoM.

I don't like to wear tux in dungeons or RP like that way forever ;_;. It upsets me that I have to have Anelia wear in armor all the time and it frustrates me. She has no other casual clothes to wear because there are nothing that impresses me aside from MNK/DRG outfits or even BRD's Divine oufits.

I hope the 2.4 Live Letter from Fanfest will answer more about glamour rules in the future and more dyeable options for these dungeon gears.

EDIT: This. ^ - I just want the gear skin option for glamours. Gears don't need to have DoW/DoM stats.
