    Why are pvp portraits so 'buggy'?

    Why do I have to re-set the portrait literally every time I play pvp or else I risk having the default portrait that isn't even in my portrait collection anymore?

    Am I doing something wrong?

    I set the portrait to my gear set even and it seems to have done nothing. The portrait just doesn't work unless I click 'use as instant portrait' every time I change so much as a ring on my gear.

    Admittedly, a very minor issue, but boy is it annoying me.

    Well the portrait system is tied to the adventurer plates and it's in beta right now. Not everything is going to work properly.

    I have the same complaint as you by the way

    c'mon you can't expect a small company like square to actually test something before releasing.

    They explained they were releasing it early to test it with the community. Pay attention.

    I don't need to; I already know what's going on.
    They're offloading QA off onto their users to save on money.

    I agree with Denji. Wonder if square even has quality control anymore.

    Guess I'll just hope for a fix, glad it's not just me doing something wrong.

    From what I've noticed, literally any change to your gear will "invalidate" the portrait meaning it has to be applied again as the instant portrait and it may also drop the link to gear sets.
    If toggle showing your helmet or weapon, or if you change or glam any piece of your gear, it makes you re-apply the portrait and re-link it.

    Your PvP Instant Portrait has to be exactly what your character looks like at that point in time to work.

    Only thing that stays with any form of consistancy is your Adventurer Plate

    LMAO, so if they stamp everything from now on "beta" it's fine and they don't even have to run basic tests?
