To Devs about Adventurer Plates

[Ath192]

I have no problem with updating the commendation system to use a stock character photo, thats fine.

the problem is when you bring in something like this, which is purely for social purposes, and then force people to use it to receive commendations from running the combat portion of teh game. people do not usually tend to be social in dungeons, not sure if you have noticed. so tying the two together defeats the purpose.

as for your created character, I did notice that as soon as you click on Privacy settings, it is default there to "everyone" as soon as you open it. if you do not modify the card at all, it states at teh bottom *Your plate is not currently visible to other players. Make it public by changing its appearance or settings". that tells me, using my limited comprehension obviously, that if you click okay, and close the plate, or simply never open it at all... it is not public.

tell me how that is misinformation?

You have confirmed it is default to Public if you decide to use the feature and you would have to opt out. If you don't use the feature and do not set it up if simply doesn't show. I would interpret the developers decision as follows:
1. Theres no point in showing a stock adventurer plate that hasnt been set up since it is too generic
2. They can opt out while setting their profile if they customize it

But this is just me. I suppose you have raised a point that makes it too nebulous to fully understand what they intended. We are left with our thoughts on it.

Interestingly enough though, if you do play the new PvP you cannot opt out, a stock up close profile picture of your character is displayed and it is mandatory (caveat I want to add an I think, I certainly havent seen less then 5 profile pics per team so far). So Id say my suggestion is rather mild with a way out compared to what they have implemented currently.
