Portraits now too complicated

[SamSmoot]

I've never used this feature. Don't see any point in it.

It should work like the adventure plate where you can just save and lock the gear that you have on the Plate so when you change your gear glam or whatever your plate doesn't reset or anything, Monster Hunter World had this system and it works way better and it's way less annoying then having to resave the whole thing every time you change gear plus I don't even know why it should be tied to gear equipped no where on the portraits they show what gear you currently have so that whole gear change and save set should not even be a thing

I really want a setting that says use this plate design, including character facing camera stuff, for all my jobs. And update it with every costume change same or another button. Set it once and forget it.

Right click any portrait and select Import. You can then pick what one you wanna import.
There are additional options as well for importing to and from your adventurer plate.

Potrait is like a Ikea table. Easy to understand but god damn annoying to put it up.

I’ve stopped using them because system resets every time I glamour change or upgrade my gear. I don’t see why my portrait has to match my appearance exactly…. That’s not how portraits work irl now is it?

I think it's because for some reason, your portrait data do not have your glam information, or rather it's not saved, unlike the adventure plate which is probably stored as a "screenshot", thus it remain the same even after you change the character. Instead I'm about 99% sure portrait are generated "live" each time it is shown, base on several settings, and one of those is whatever glamour you have at the time.
