To Devs about Adventurer Plates

[Ilisidi]

Maybe a fair compromise would be we keep the little commendations tab on the bottom right, only when you click it the personalised portraits come up? So anyone who doesn’t feel like giving comms can just leave as usual without seeing anything

That would still make the commendations in your face. Short sweet list of names, no distracting pictures that only make it difficult to see who you wanted to commend.

It’s definitely down to personal preference then I like to look at portraits & see peoples creativity with it.. it kinda adds more personality to their characters. But if that’s not your thing I understand! We will just agree to disagree.

Only downside I can think of is there’ll always be those people who take over the top sexual photos

So it would kind of be like Overwatch where at the end of the dungeon/raid/whatever the Portrait would pop up and you click it to give them a Comm?

I actually like that, of course it would be optional but I wouldn't mind that.

This is a really bad idea... commendations should be about competence and helpfulness in the duty, not a beauty contest of who's looking the cutest / funniest in their picture.

excuse me what?? Uniqlo is dropping FF merch? Or they did? WHEN?

edit: nvm I looked it up. HYPED, I love tf outta Uniqlo

Oh yes they are. What number are you going for?
I'm going 4, 6, 7, 14

If it's an optional toggle in the settings? Sure, why not; options never hurt anyone. Those who like it and want to see it can toggle it on, those who don't can continue as normal.

Hard no if it's something forced, though. I don't feel like seeing "uguu kawaii catgirl" #2980774987 who thinks they took a 'unique' picture for their plate every single time a duty ends and I'm just trying to comm whoever contributed best.

Apart from not wanting to look at tons of crotch pictures during roulettes or farming or so either, I would be against waiting for a pop-up to fully load, click on buttons, close it again and then get out of the dungeon. Would be especially strange if people for whom it loads faster or who decide faster would already start leaving... Also I agree with the point, that visually tying commendations to another feature (= the plates) would make people base their decision based on this feature. Yes, people give coms for the best puns, for glam, for "I didn't die, so I guess the healer did good" or "the only other person who hasn't left the duty yet". That's not really the point of coms. But that doesn't mean we have to make this even worse or even give the implication that this is the point of coms or whatever. Not every person is creative. Not every person is interested in plates. Not every person likes to set it on public when they prefer it to stay private. Not every person set one up.

Make it an optional feature? Sure, go ahead, you can turn it on, I can turn it off, we both are fine.
Make it mandatory? Lolnope, because of what I just said.

Also, I know it's hard, it's the internet, but maybe it would help the discussion if "doesn't want to see revealing pictures" wouldn't be understood as "okay let's just have blank faces in boxes", or "(insert any sort of criticism)" not as "you naysayers just hate fun". There is space inbetween these takes. Just a suggestion.

The major problem with OP's idea is that the amount of time to provide a commendation at this point is fairly small. I've been finding that multiple party members are gone by the time I get the chance to provide a commendation. Looking at plates with blanks for missing members of the party (perhaps all of them except yourself) would be a waste. It's hard enough to catch party members before they exit an instance as it is.

I don’t believe it would work that way. This method would allow you to comm even after they’ve gone.

[Darthgummibear]

cool idea.
But it'll make people who don't want to deal with it complain.

Those same people always find reasons to complain. I for one 100% support the idea.
