those are mods though, they don't punish for that. they will send you to baby jail though for obscene text/pf ads (the 18+ escort/brothel venues), ect. So no reason not to think that they wouldn't do the same for lewd plates too

Nudity is not tolerated on Twitch at all and neither on YouTube. Which some of the adventure plates end up showing.

Honest answer, realistically, from the bottom of my heart I feel most players would be okay with it and actually like it. It also creates advertising for the plates so users that don't keep up with PLLs and Patch notes or do PvP come in contact with them more organically. Judging by this thread I still think those suspicions are somewhat confirmed. Generally the forums lend themselves to say no to everything and the response is more positive than negative. But this is not scientific.

If they make it opt in no big deal though. I just think itll be more impactful if it is opt out, and most users will just leave the default on. =P I also have no evidence this will happen but I bet even a few people who said they wouldn't like it on here would eventually come around on it and get excited about making their own plate.

Other highly successful games already have a version of this screen at the end of instances/matches etc... This isn't bleeding edge stuff.

As long as it's optional, then I'd be all for it.

I still fail to see the logic behind being forced to put up with an optional feature, doesn't the statement contradict itself? Maybe I'm missing something.

I like the idea, though I'd probably prefer the portraits to show up at the beginning of an instance to show who you're playing with instead of the end with the Commendations. We already have the dead time at the start of every instance while we're locked in a ring waiting anyway so why not pop up the portraits at that point.

And, yeah, make the feature opt-out for those who don't want to see it but leave it turned on as the default.

In this case on the revamped commendation screen only the profiles set to public will be eligible to get commended/commend. Since commendations are social events it stands to reason those unwilling to be social wouldn’t want to participate to begin with. It would also stop bothering those who want to save one second on loading to the overworld.

Likewise the only optional yet somewhat core of commendation functionality is for mentors (whether this is effective or not is another topic) and being a mentor is (or according to an ideal world) a person open to the public to help out.

So as far as I can see it provides an out for those who don’t want to be social while similarly incentivizing the adoption of a public calling card.

so, according to this, you are wanting to force people to use the feature in order to get commendations? just because I havent set up a plate does not mean I or someone else is less social. means I do not see it as a useful feature to put my time into. I appreciate its there, but doesnt mean I need to use it to play the game. but in your plan, I HAVE to use it, and not only use it, but have to be public to do so.

you can be very social without baring your details to the general universe.

I think its a neat idea

I love the adventurer plates. I now make an effort to check out the plates of everyone I see when waiting for an instance to start. Some of them are real creative.

However, I understand that not everyone likes to see butts and crotch shots at the start of every pvp match, so I would support an optional toggle which replaces your party members' portraits with the default standing posture.

I’m afraid you have tapped into too niche of a user base to design for them. This is speculation but I would wager the amount of players that would want commendations but would not want their players showing would be minimal at best. So yeah, my opinion on the matter stands. It’s okay if you don’t like it.

Wording has a lot of power though. So likewise I want an updated modern freshened up commendation system, where you view it as forcing people to adapt to change.

Both of these of true so it’s a matter of how each user decides to paint the subject.
