Portraits were better in Beta. Your design is ridiculous.

I couldn't figure out yesterday why my portrait wouldn't update with my new weapon. I was so confused because it didn't use to do that before with instants.
Just if you had a new weapen you had to update it, but now you have to do it with your glamour dresser of nothing changes and it brakes your portrait =.=
They have a way of making new things in 14 feel immediatly outdated Island Sanctuary as another example and it just turns into a chore dealing with it..

One thing i wish they can do is to take a page from pso2 look book. That has a better system in regards.

I'm guessing the looney design it is now is so portraits remain up to date along with the changes you make to your character's appearance. I think I get what they are trying to do. They are just doing it in a very roundabout manner, and it is not user friendly at all.

A portrait is exactly that: A portrait. It is a snapshot of your character, and really should not be linked to anything. If WE want to update it, we can do so. We should not be forced to update this photograph if we don't want or care to. Players are even asking others in duties how they are getting theirs to work. It's pretty clear that players want to express themselves in this manner for duties, so it should be really easy for players to make this happen.

Hopefully they will update it in a near future patch to facilitate the process, which there really shouldn't be too much of.

The system gets more and more broken and convoluted with each update.
I didn't bother to mess with it after Beta; which worked the best despite the limitations.

All they need to do is make it work like the adventurer card portraits. It keeps the appearance/gear/etc. you had at the time you made it. That's it; done. If players want to update it, they will.

Honestly this. I'm lazy to set up my portraits to each different jobs. Let alone, updating it every time I slightly change my gear.
Either make it use the portrait from adventurer plate, or have the option to link gearset to those who want different appearance each time.

I just wish we had a lock feature of sorts. Where we can lock any portrait to retain its appearance even when you switch glams or sets or such

At the very least they could’ve let us set up like one adventurer plate per job or something. The current system is definitely annoying. Even silly things like having a pair of gloves dyed the wrong colour can revert the plate to default, which is soul-destroying when you spend ages making the it perfect lol. Then again, the memory limitations on glamour plates are already so stringent that I doubt they’d be able to find the memory to add 19~ adventurer plates saved for every single character lol

Three changes they should make:

1) It shouldn't matter if the items and glamours saved to the gearset associated to the portrait don't match what is currently equipped.

2) There should be an option, per portrait, to either display the current glam saved to the gearset and ignore what's currently equipped and glamoured, or to show what you currently have equipped and glamoured.

3) The only thing it should ever need to validate a portrait, is that the equipped weapon type is still valid for the job of the associated gearset. So long as this is true it should be able to assume that any equipped gear/glamour on either the gearset or currently equipped is valid.

The system would be significantly better with these changes.

PSO2s glamour game is on a whole different level, the amount of customization and gear and accessories available is insane. It also makes sure no two players really look the same, which I really enjoy.

They should just make it so you can use your adventure plate as the instant portrait. The beta allowed this so ???

[Tehmon]

I would honestly prefer if we had to make a new portrait from the scratch every time we use the feature, as long as the portraits we made in the past worked perfectly.
