New portrait system broken

This is a separate issue from the general jankiness with the new setup.

Changing your glamour doesn't change the glamour displayed in the portrait editor. The current glamour displayed in my editor is what I was using two days ago, and nothing I do now changes it.

There's a button in the portrait editor on the adventurer plate that lets you reflect your current appearance.

My issue with the new system is really that they restricted having multiple saved portraits to apply to your plate only be for PvP, when that wasn't the case at all in the beta.

Please devs if youre somehow reading this, bring back the "apply portrait to adventurer plate" option.

Removing glamours with particle effects from weapons is another issue with it. So even when it's showing your current gear it can still look completely wrong.

I'm not talking about the adventure plate. I'm talking about portraits period. The glamour is wrong.

Oh you mean the portrait editor itself? That's how it always was I believe. The portraits save the previous glamour so if you want to update to reflect your current appearance then you have to go into the editor and manually edit something to save your new appearance. I don't think it's supposed to automatically update your current glams.

When I open the portrait editor the glamour is still wrong. The entire interface from top to bottom acts as if I'm still wearing the old glamour. It's broken. There is no way in the current system AT ALL to update the glamour being used in the portrait. If there's no functional way to control the glamour being used in the portrait, than the whole system is functionally useless.

For the record, no, it WAS NOT like this before the update.

Ah I see, you just can't update your appearance PERIOD then. A friend linked me a recent lodestone post they made about this being a bug due to linking gearsets to portraits during the beta and they said a temp fix would be to delete your saved gearset, make a new one and then it'll change into your current appearance.

Yeah this whole "official" launch of the plates seem much less polished than what we had previously :/

Yeah deleting the gearset completely updated it, but you would have to delete/remake the gearset every single time you want to change the glam being used in the portrait because the aformentioned issue persists for subsequent glam shifts after initially remaking the set.

Edit: I supposed this might be a blessing in disguise, since in effect you can "freeze" which glam you prefer to use as the portrait for each job.

You need to click the "Update Gearset" button in your character menu after changing glams. Took me like 30 minutes to figure out it was driving me crazy, I'm assuming this is their solution for changing glams instantly breaking your portrait for pvp.
