The current adventurer plate system is so bad

Automatically updating the gear set portrait when you update the gear set. Add these three things and the system would be solid.

Maybe add "Apply this portrait to all gearsets".

i too personally prefer the beta just because it didn't delete my instant portrait when i changed anything on my gear set or toggled my helm off/on

It feels like a chore imo.
If I save a portrait for pvp and I change my weapon for that set the portrait is already not working anymore and I q in just staring into the void blankly -_-

The beta was alot better. Im hoping they take some of this input to implement some of the old features back in.

- I liked having multiple for one job vs one for evey job
- why are we forced to make it so we look forward (though even slightly works its still terrible) to save the portrait.
- the error for pvp where it shows default because if you dont press the update gear button on the actual set.
- pretty much any change in gear that makes it go back to default

I liked the beta also, since they changed it the long hair on my character is like cardboard....it was quite nice in the beta and I was able to make it so my character's hair was across her shoulder but now it just sits like a piece of stiff card at the back >.<

That second one is likely to combat the "NSFW" Portraits that initially emerged, with zoom-ins on female Miqo'te /pose or the kicked-out foot in /sulk, hehe...

Which hasn't done much to combat it, people who want to make a horny plate still do. the zoom in on miqo'te eyes up still exists. The /pose miqo'te still exist. Hell, I've seen more creativity in making nsfw ones now rather than before.
All this did was just screw with our ability to make different angles. You can still block your face with your shiny relic and the system still allows it lol

It really feels like this is the beta and that version was the full release

Well, turns out absolutely everyone agrees. This unity is a tad touching, ngl lmao

Keep making your discontent heard about this. Otherwise they won't even read it.

I'm not even sure what it's for, so I haven't done anything with it.

Right now it's just for Crystalline Conflict, but from next week's patch the portraits are going to be displayed at the beginning of dungeons.
