Adventure Plates feedback!

[SomeRandomHuman]

I ran hundreds of CC matches over the course of a few days. Only 2 stood out to me as suggestive. I don't doubt that players are doing it, but I sincerely doubt it's as bad as you claim. Either way it doesn't bother me, within reason. I'm sure there are a few people out there who take it a step too far, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were reported. Heck, Zepla released a video today talking about adventure plates. She got a laugh out of a couple of them, but they were both definitely...inappropriate by most standards. I wouldn't have cared, but it's not hard to see why some do. But I also doubt that it's a huge problem.

I'm fine with risqué and mild levels of spice personally. I would like to see the ones that clearly try to look explicit get reprimanded. I've seen one that is obviously meant to look like they're performing a certain action with their mouth in the region of the loins of the viewer from the angle they took.

The adventurer plates is a great addition to the game. I really enjoyed playing with the G-pose tool like in order to customise as much as possible the card.

However...

I'd like to request a "report button" on adventurer plate, because i've seen many abuse of people just showing their butt in those 2B Leggings... or doing some almost "explicit" image on those by using the "mogs" to hide some part of the body.

I like to look at other's adventurer plate, but I literraly see a butt every 30 seconds.... This is breaking the system and will sooner or later backfire on the community on the internet by saying that FFXIV player are just doing ERP all the time.

This is a gross exaggeration because even on Balmung I don't see those pictures very often relative the the normal ones.

Yeah, this is pretty much my take as well. There absolutely are some that deliberately push the envelope beyond what some people are comfortable with. But most have been perfectly fine (and I'm actually still seeing a bunch of standard default portraits as well). It's also worth keeping in mind that this is a new feature and some people are just doing what they can to get a rise out of others. It's not that different from when they first let male characters wear some dresses and you'd see males in Limsa wearing a bright pink dress because they know it bothered some people. Or when the 2B leggings first came out and every male Roe in Limsa was wearing them. Sure you still see a few Hrothgar in dresses and Roe in 2B leggings but the vast majority of people who did that have moved on to something else.

I wouldn't have any issue with the most egregious examples getting dealt with but I doubt we'll even be talking about this in a months time.

i wish they could let us change the description of the plate as in not the same as your search info...that could be nice

[Renalt]

I like them for the simple fact that if I see them as a degenerate...I can avoid them easily.

I really wish we could have the background be our actual background like in /gpose. I was excited about adventurer plates because I thought I could finally show off my house. My house is my identity. I only play to decorate my house. Let me show my designs in my adventurer plate. Otherwise the plate is completely useless.

[Nizzi]

I'm just amazed at how people manage to make anything lewd/risque out of them because it feels really limited. I wish we could use all of our emotes in them, and I wish the instant portrait didnt mess up every time I change jobs when I'm doing PVP!

[GaiusDrakon]

They need to actually make the adventurer plate useful beyond a combination of a generic dull background and a generic pose.

[Garnix]

People now throwing the words "useful"/"useless"? xD
Nothing is useful in this game let's be honest.
Mounts > having one through MSQ is useful. Having more is not.
Minions > not useful.
Gear > mostly not useful aside from BiS.
Titles > not useful.
Farming any sort of content > rewards mounts/minions/gears/titles/achievements > not useful.

It's a cute addition to the game, to add to the glam part of the game, which is very important. It doesn't need to be more "useful" than that.
I think they are very telling of what kind of player you are.
They just need to appear in more instanced content when they go out of Beta.

I absolutely adore this feature! I had a lot of fun messing around with it. It feels somewhat like we're making an "Eorzea ID Card." I also enjoy checking out other people's Adv plates. It really shows off everyone's different personalities quite well!

Of course, it's still in beta so it's missing a lot of poses and has only a few decorative elements. I would love to see more colors and textures we can add to the background. (Pink would be great lol.) I was planning on using certain poses that are unfortunately left out for now but I'm sure they'll add them all eventually. I'd also like it if our Search comment wasn't what is displayed and instead the plates used a separate description with a larger text limit.

Here's my favorite that I've made so far:



I didn't know that they show up during PvP. I'm too nervous to play CC since I'm afraid of messing up and being the reason my team would lose. But knowing that my plate can show up makes me more interested in checking out CC! I hope they make it so our plates appear in other places in the game. I feel like it's a little bit hidden right now.

Also the playtime clock is hella confusing to look at. These yellow bars are really bad for reading people's playtime. I'd rather it was a simple "Weekdays Playtime - 3:00pm to 7:00pm CST" type of format but whatever lmao.
