RE: New news, Glamour, Hardware, and 2.2 - Chocobald - 03-19-2014
Please someone answer this:
Can I use full subligar for this system when wearing end game dungeons gear?
A resub is in the balance here.

Only if your character is a Disciple of War.

Works for me!
I guess I can finally play Still Mountain how I wanted after all.

That's my hope as well. Now, as a tanker, I obviously don't have too terribly many gripes about the Glamour system as it stands now...and I can kinda see Squee's point if I tilt my monitor about 40 degrees and squint my eyes--a class identity is important, and the Jobs of the series have an iconic appearance that is tantamount to sacrilege to be rid of.
That said...considering that they've already got some crafter-made "classless" gear already in the pipe for 2.2, hopefully there will be pieces that can be made to allow a BLM to wear any combination of leather and plate they want to.

*nod* As someone who plays PLD and BLM almost 50/50 now, I find the amount of stuff I can equip as a PLD much more appealing than I do as BLM.
As BLM I get... robes.. and robes.. and er... more robes? Cloth ones at that. Never anything with a little plating involved. Wearing the Foestriker's tabard as a mage would just add a little awesome to it. Then again I think the tabard is amazing all day every day >_>;
Or that new tank gear they showed in the preview. The one that both a PLD and a WAR are wearing. It would be amazing to be casting things in that.
It's not horrible, the system. It's just... so far pretty lackluster. I just wish it was utterly amazing, but for now it's just ehh.
Just like the 50 free teleports people who will have subscribed for a year will get. Eh. Ok.

I thought it couldn't get any worse... >_>
Quote:Quest Requirements
To unlock Glamours, players must first complete the following quest. Upon completion, the action Cast Glamour will appear under General Actions in the Actions and Traits interface.
Quest Name A Self-improving Man
Required Level Level 50
Quest Location Mor Dhona (X:22, Y:6) - Wiscard
RE: New news, Glamour, Hardware, and 2.2 - Kage - 03-20-2014
Yup. I have no idea how I feel about this since I'm already level 50.
RE: New news, Glamour, Hardware, and 2.2 - Naunet - 03-20-2014
I certainly know how I feel about it. Doesn't matter that my main is 50. Anyone should be able to make use of something as universal as a vanity system, regardless of level.
... Really wish I could just transplant XIV's lore and art design/graphics style onto Rift right about now.
RE: New news, Glamour, Hardware, and 2.2 - Sounsyy - 03-20-2014
While I certainly wasn't expecting the quest to require Lv50, I guess it makes sense considering the system only really benefits 50s anyway. Pretty sure SE is trying to encourage all players to get to cap at least one job since that's really where the game begins.

This "the game begins at the level cap" mentality is one of the major problems with the MMO genre today.
Content should be meaningful and enjoyable for the entire range of experience. Not just a specific part of it.
RE: New news, Glamour, Hardware, and 2.2 - Kage - 03-20-2014
I certainly found myself blitzing to 50 asap. It was a sort of "let's get them up so we can do these things together!"
I sort of did and didn't wish they did the 8 man party stuff so late.

I'm in that same place now. I think it helps that I did it before slowly on the other server, so I know what's going on now, but yeah...it's sort of a rush to be able to play with everyone, really.
RE: New news, Glamour, Hardware, and 2.2 - Naunet - 03-20-2014
I have a number of alts who I am in no rush to level but would love to be able to take advantage of the glamour system on. I can't bring myself to level my MRD any further because I cannot stand the massive thigh boot-pants that she's wearing currently. Being able to glamour those away would not only give me a reason to make use of the system, but it would encourage me to actually play the damn game.
Apparently Yoshi doesn't want that, though...
RE: New news, Glamour, Hardware, and 2.2 - synaesthetic - 03-20-2014
Squee hates it when you try to play alts. Alts are for losers, man.
*facepalm*

I don't disagree, but that's how it is. People level so quick they don't do the lower level content. All they want is the next best and most difficult content to get the new best in slot. I know people who still haven't done Cutters Cry. And cant count how many people griped when a scant few guildhests and Qarn became required for the main storyline. Too many people just don't do content they don't have to. Or they don't repeat lower level content after they've reached cap. That kinda forces developers to focus on the "endgame." But then again, Yoshi-P has said from the beginning he wanted players to experience the endgame. And that reaching the level cap wasn't supposed to be a big deal.
