Want to change the appearance of your summons? Hope you're familiar with MS-DOS!
I have legit zero issues with this system other than forgetting the command sometimes … If youve played the game long enough with their "say this phrase with /s" quests, you start to understand that those have to be said exactly how the text is with capitals and periods included.
If you follow the directions and not type anything incorrectly its fine. Its a bit older system sure, but its not difficult to understand. And since ive always used selene, ill use this command once and never again until a white carbuncle comes out.
Im more mad at how they homoginized astro cards and those buffs more than the faeries. That never really bothered me at all. And sheesh, Selene is still in the game, not removed. Eos was the fairie displayed for the SCH MSQ far more than selene was, so i get why they would keep her button. Its not that big if a deal tbh at least to me. Id say they far from "butchured" scholar.
Agreed that the chat-operated glamour system is inscrutable. I don't even bother.
Console players NEED a macro recorder, would be godsend for crafting macros in particular.
i really really don't want them to make any changes to scholar. imo it's almost perfect how it is, and i've completely stopped playing other mmo's (cough overwatch cough) because they completely changed the main class/job that i played, over and over to "fix" it for the people who don't even play the job…
(/petglamour "activepet" "hide") honestly what's the point in summoning them if they just stand behind you as a summoner, They're just there to give you an illusion that you're summoning when in fact you're just now a regular mage with flashier spell fx, job fantasy dead.
Ever since SMN got the pet glams, I've had macros written up for it, so this will be no different. I also have macros to change the summon sizes, because sometimes I like Titan's ass to drop down and cover the screen and sometimes I don't. (Depends on my mood, really.)
Yea the glam isn't the same. I miss the old days when Selene and Eos had different skills for different uses. I like when a mmo has each class feeling more unique, and the older ffxiv gets, The more the jobs feel whitewashed and dumbed down and generic.
They could have done as with the Fisher's bait: a button to open a small window with all the skins available, and just click to select.
I guess there goes my dreams of bringing back dps buffer selene are completely gone now. After the smn rework, I held out hope, but guess it isn't meant to be. It still makes no sense to me, because ast works well as a healer/buffer job just fine. It could be done, but guess that's not their vision for the job. 😞I don't change my pet often so it's just one and done for me. So I don't get bothered by the commands much, personally. I plug my keyboard into my console so I'm probably the few that isn't bothered though. The code worked fine for me, but I'm used to it at this point.
I imagine they got rid of it because they have actual data, and people (despite their bitching) were not actually choosing selene or recommending that she be used to others in guides and videos.
She's fine as a glam.
I don't play SCH, but I play SMN, and this does not bother me at all. Most SMN I had talked to in the past swapped the look to what they wanted once, and never thought about the command again. No one I have talked to swapped again after they set it the first time. The only thing I see SMN's do is change the size, depending on mood or content, but most that do that have a macro written. IDK, I feel like creating an whole UI for something that most will use once to set it is a bit much.
Either way I do think it needed to be removed from the abilities, as it added confusion on which to use that wasn't needed with the function being the same.
I still want to be able to glam Eos to Feo Ul.
I've been hoping for Summoner Egi Glams since EW launched. Like turn Ifrit into Leviathan, change all the graphics but keep the numbers and all. Instead they turned one of the Scholar Fairies into a Dress Up for the other : (
You can actually make the macro button for the glam better if you add /ac "Summon Eos" under the eos glam you want, since doing that summons the faerie with the glam on it without having to summon it again to make the glam show up.
I agree that there should be a menu for these things—and why the hell aren't summon sizes in the options?—but to say they butchered SCH by having the fairies which have been identically functional for years become a glamour option is a bit ridiculous. Carbuncle literally doesn't do anything anymore on SMN, which I do think is an actual problem.
Also, I've played on console, it's really not that big a deal to do even with the software keyboard. How often are you changing your pet glamours, also?
Thank you for this and I have to agree there is a lot of archaic systems that needs to be updated when it comes to all their glamour systems in general. They make things way too complicated and not very user friendly.
I think they were trying to reduce the number of buttons on your hotbar so macros kind of goes counter to that. I agree there could be a better solution. Maybe just add a menu like we have for minions or fashion accessories and give you the option to click on there or drag to your hotbar.
I’ve had Selene summoned forever and always never really changed. But now that I can do carbuncles I actually will likely switch between topaz and selene
It is easier to set up macros when ur on controller so I’ll be doing this
"How To Bring Back Selene From The DEAD!"
Step 1. Get "The Necromancer" title 🤣
You can link a proper /ac to that macro for autocast too
This is the best thumbnail you ever made
For whoever need some extra info,
If you play sch you wont be able to glam smn pets and viceversa.
The system is buggy and archaic
Bugs to my knowledge are pet going back to original appearance,not showing at all but still out and not changing at all even tho the command was correct
Hopefully they address those 😊
Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!
I always worry about you in particular when patches drop, so how are you doing, buddy? 😂
Obsidian Carby when
I was gonna bitch about the pet glam system and you did it for me! It’s one of the worst aspects and yes, people on console without kbm will probably not even bother. I remember checking a guide online and it was still buggy. I agree, less typing, more buttons!
Probably a limitation from PS4
A lot of weird design choices or low resolution textures in FF14 usually stems from limitations from PS4
💀 I still haven't bothered to learn how to reduce Egi size too… Wish we had a button/checkmark to just hide other players like we can with Minions.
This was pointless. They get rid of a real system for a command-line option which 90% of users are going to be confused by… To add one glamour option?…
Who was asking for this and who is this for?..
Hey now the carbuncle actually does something, instead of just running around with Summoner. It's actually kinda cute, every time it casts Embrace, it looks like it's begging for pets, lol.
Another cutscene that is not saved in the Unending Journey!
/petglamour "Carbuncle" "Selene" …doesnt seem to work. damnit!
waiiiit. how is your map interest points icons are so small? hooow? Aetherythe, shops repair etc
