Finishing the quest Stormblood, and Alphinaud calling Zenos a coward is perfect and cements him as a good character. e: also I do really like Lyse's red dress, kinda makes me wish my character was female.

Thundarr posted:Glamour is one of FFXIV's systems that a lot of people feel to be worse than the equivalent in other current MMOs. Mainly since you pretty much need to keep an inventory slot (or now, a glamour toilet slot) occupied forever if you want to reuse a given item's appearance. At least needing prisms is mostly a non-issue now since there's only one type and you can have a stack of 999.

XIV's glamour system isn't bad but there's enough restrictions on it to make it a chore. And rather than lay out what's in store for the future, the devs are pretty tight-lipped or only taking small baby steps, like they don't even know what they want to end up with. I suspect there's some amount of

I just arrived at the Gnath in Heavensward. I like these guys; they remind me of my good friends the Kobolds. As an unrelated note, Ysayle and Estinien need to get a room.

You know some lunatic would gather up 1,000,000 prisms and jam as much gear as he can in there just to see what happens. It's stupid and pointless to speculate on their software architecture. However, if you'll humor me, I would say that this isn't likely a huge issue. Inventory right now takes up lots of space (bandwidth they say is the issue) because you have a list of your slots, what's in them, if they're glamored, dyed, materiad, soul bound, and in need of repair. The thing is if you move to the infinite system then you just need to keep a list of ids of what the player has, and then it's just some look ups to build out the menu. All of the dye information, and which ones you have immediately available are done in the plates. So it would in theory be a minimal amount of data, and probably not hard to do.* I think the real reason, just based on the developer interviews, is because they want us to keep paying for extra retainers, and playing longer to re-farm glamors or old content for the items we trashed. I mean, I am pretty sure Yoshi P said the latter flat out at some point? Though it was right before they added the dresser... so maybe trolling or something. But, since we're demanding it and the competition is doing it, they're either dragging their feet with these compromises, or being extremely cautions by doing this hybrid thing as they workout the rest of it. *Source: I have developed software and have done project planning for almost a decade now and that is why I am able to assure you 100% that everything I said with regards to time and difficulty are completely and wildly inaccurate. itskage fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Aug 4, 2018 |

I feel like the wardrobe should be capable of holding all the job gear that occurs at 10-level intervals post-50. As an altoholic-turned-classoholic that's what's mostly jamming up my works because like a hoarder I can't let myself delete all these job glamours in my glamour dresser.

You can buy the 70 job gear from the Calamity Salvager for a pittance, so you don't really need to keep it. Unfortunately the 60 job gear was originally bought with tomestones, so no such luck there - you need Centurio Seals for it these days.

Wish the armoire could hold cosmetic quest rewards and nonseasonal cash shop stuff. Hate having to choose between the dresser, retainer slots or forgetting it exists with the salvager. Same for the Maelstrom hat and jacket; the old patriot garbage gets an armoire slot, why can't they?TheHeadSage posted:Finally finished the Namazu beast tribe and got the mount! WASSHOI!

You know some lunatic would gather up 1,000,000 prisms and jam as much gear as he can in there just to see what happens. As much as it's dumb to speculate on their code, there is one other thing to remember: the glam system wasn't in the original design doc at all. It was added purely out of feedback, and even the original system took some time in 2.x to be added because the software team had to figure out how to make it work in the context of XIV period. I wouldn't be surprised if the glam system overall is a bit of an albatross in the code, having been bolted on wholesale to a game not really originally designed to support it on the backend, and something the engineers would really like to just leave be and not touch again.

They've spoken recently that they only just found the ability to upload your UI settings to the server and the engineers refused to make it automatically update/download it because they were afraid of it melting the servers. Their servers are actually that bad and it's probably going to be an expensive and time consuming task for them to fix it all at once and instead we're going to continue to get these patch jobs like the Glamor Dresser and the really limited Duty Recorder until they can patch everything.

Your UI (as well as hotkeys, macros) is stored on PC and you can back up the data to a USB drive. Not a bad idea to keep a regular back up of all that. E: Though if you're on console welp!

The fight between Shiva and Ravana was cool (and answered my question about Ysayle still being able to transform into Shiva). edit: Just did Ravana, which was really cool/fun. Being the second tank in a fight with only one boss is like playing as some absurdly durable DPS with lovely damage. Ytlaya fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Aug 5, 2018 |

I just realized that the child Dravanians look like the Wyvern pets dragoons had in FF11 (which I played waaaay back when it first came out in the early 2000s as a WHM with my friend who was a dragoon).
