Adventure Plates feedback!

I'm really impressed with it, especially with the capabilities of the portraits. And also by the fact that different backgrounds and add-ons are collectibles in the game, that's a great way to implement new rewards.

Now, personally as a roleplayer, the thing I'd love here is to have the option to omit certain fields in the card that helps little with RPers (i.e. Grand Company rank), but mostly important a bigger textbox to write a character description. Currently the plate uses the same from the search info, but that is really limited with character number.

I wish I could give some feedback. It seems like any changes I make are not saved once I x out. (I'm going through each part and 'confirm'ing and 'saving' where appropriate' but when I want to close out the editor I only see the 'X' in the corner.)

Anyone run into this or am I missing some glaring simple thing to make sure everything stays saved?

Personally, I've set the privacy settings on it to "No One" and I'm completely ignoring the feature because I see no meaningful use for it. To me, it seems like a glorifed search info box with a customisable portrait and a handful of backgrounds. It's up there with things like /gpose for me in that it's probably a decent QoL feature for a select group of players - RPers and such - and if they like it, more power to them. That's my two cents on it.

Having a good picture on your plate will now matter for your odds to pick up catgirls in the Quicksands of Balmung.

the button to save changes is at the bottom of the Portrait screen

My biggest issue with it so far is the lack of options for portrait poses. I actually had a bunch of ideas beforehand of emotes/poses I wanted to use for my portraits but the selection of animations we can use is fairly limited. Hopefully this is something they add more to once the feature is out of beta or at least over time.

Otherwise, I quite like it so far and am eager to see how it develops.

Thank you, I'm able to save portraits but the adventure plate is never saving. I'm always going through the 'initial setup' phase if that makes sense. I'd just like to set up a plate and apply a portrait to it but the plate won't save for me.

I'm a pretty big fan.

Best feature they've added since the electric guitar. Could use more poses and maybe props or something, but it's neat rn

in order to apply a Portrait to your adventurer plate, you need to right click the portrait you want to use (or use Square for us PlayStation controller users) and select Apply to Adventurer Plate.

I understand that. It is not the portraits I'm struggling with.

My adventurer plate is not saving. Privacy settings, profile, they do not save. Everytime I open the adventurer plate, it takes me to initial setup.

can you take a screenshot and show me what the screen looks like? im having seeing it in my mind

Selecting from the menu, I start with this:


https://tinyurl.com/58hydn96


I can change my plate to THIS, for example, but whenever I X out these changes are discarded.


https://tinyurl.com/49azw5bv


Is there a different save button overall? Every time I change the template, I see the new template. Whenever I try to modify the profile for peak hours, or privacy settings that change doesn't get reflected.


I X out, and start from the beginning again.

it should be as simple as editing the plate design and profile and hitting save when you are done....
it could possibly be a bug, they did say that the plate was still in 'beta' and i take it that means they haven't quite ironed out all the kinks yet.

Does the pic take time to update or something?
I changed it but it doesn't change on the adventurer plate?

I like it, and I see myself spending a lot of time playing around with it later. Especially if it received updates. First attempt. Someone should make a "Show your Adventurer Plate" thread. I don't want my poor work to be on top.

First (quick) attempt.. I'll play around with it more later, so don't be mean:

Maybe with (metallic silver) frame on portrait:

I'll have to play around with lighting and stuff later. Frame seems like too much.

You need to apply the portrait to the adventurer plate.

This is definitely bugged for some people, edited and saved multiple times and it keeps resetting and yes I am hitting save and the plate is set to public/everyone, my portrait itself saved but won’t link to the plate and none of my edits will save. Bummer

Adventure plate should have options for playstyles that cover out-of-game activities, as well as more options for in-game activities.

In-game activities:

• Main Scenario Quest (New Game+) - we have a MSQ option, but no NG+ specifically
• collection (minion, mount, orchestrion, sightseeing log, emotes)
• lore/quests - for people who obsess with lore so much that they clear every quest and level every job
• triple triad
• mahjong
• squadrons
• community event hosting
• community organization (FC, LS, CWLS) - it's not an easy task being the leader of a FC!

Out-of-game activities:

• lore/quests - for people who organize and summarize dialog and flavor text (there's so much of it)
• community organization
• event hosting
• Lodestone - did you know it's also a social network?
• official forums - you are here!
• non-official forums
• play guide/walkthroughs - may be combined with the next one
• fan site building
• fan artwork/music/prop/cosplay/handcraft
• fan videos/livestreamer

I think of myself as a MSQ/Lore/mentor player currently focused on Eureka, even though the game still considers me as a "new adventurer". Gotta do ALL the quests!

You have to right click the saved portrait on the portrait list, then select Apply to Adventurer Plate in the drop down menu.

Does the "active time" reflect your local timezone or do you have to convert it to the server's local time yourself.

Bah, that sucks. I really wanted to try it out; I'm in the same exact scenario.

Already did about 17 times and it just keeps resetting

They are local time, I checked the plate of a friend who lives 12 timezones away from me (I'm NA and they're OCE).

The time section needs an overhaul/localization pass. “0:00 a.m.” and “0:00 p.m.” are just bizarre expressions and the colored markers for the times are not visually intuitive. Some kind of drop-down selection boxes to specify a range of time, like on the Community Finder, would make a lot more sense.

Would like to be able to change the color of the backdrops. Right now my favorite is the slightly transparent one but it only comes in blue and kinda clashes with the aesthetic of my portrait.
So basically more control over the colors.

already seen enough up the skirt plates to last me a lifetime.

but otherwise a cool little feature

Would be nice if we can put patron god or nameday instead of GC rank.

I'm fine with the description being the same as the search info, but it's true that the max length for search info is too short.

Is there a "for Garlemald" animation?

Since they offer the option to mirror the plate layout, I'd love for an option to mirror your portrait as well - for symmetry with certain poses. More portrait backdrops is also a high-priority ask from me, as well! Translucent? Color-wheel? Etc.

I have already seen a few people with rather lewd portraits (extreme close up of clothingless bosom/crotch). I wonder if this is reportable.

I'd say it probably is. I'm pretty sure people have been banned for their search info before.

Try it now! I was able to actually register saved this time after being logged in for a bit and trying again!

You want to report people for taking pictures of their character?

SE releases a fun new feature and some folks immediately try to limit it as much as possible. Typical.

Nobody is talking about anything that does, so I'm not sure how this is relevant.

I imagine making your plate to primarily feature sexualized regions would count as vulgarity.

Im having issues with portraits not saving into the gear set I've made when using the Link Portrait to Gear Set option. Or at least Im not fully understanding what Im doing wrong? Every time I switch between classes linked to different portraits it stays on the one Ive applied the portrait previously.

It would be nice if for portrait photos we could use some of the emotes outside of the default ones if we unlocked them. Like the eating emotes or /spectacles.

It was doing the same for me for a while and I was finally able to save changes after being online for a certain amount of time, I’d check each time you zone into a new area to see if it updates. I was able to only save my portraits for like 2 hours then eventually my plate started saving changes. There’s definitely some bugs but I guess it’s expected since it’s considered in beta

Some good suggestions here. I love this addition so much but it does feel like the options are a bit limited at the moment - even just the ability to choose a custom colour background (or maybe in-game dye colours at the very least) would be great but I would love a ton more decoration options in general!

They give the option to do those so why they want to limit it? Let people do what they want with their pics...
