The big question with adventurer plates is does the server validate that your profile pose is valid or is that only done client side? If the server doesn't, how long until someone makes a mod to upload invalid poses?

I heard someone say it was actually displaying modded images when they had them active.

I’ve shared my plate here and my mods are visible, yes. The display is client side.

I’m pretty sure what the server is actually saving is the camera and lighting information, the posing, the internal data for what character model to desplay (ie. Female seeker miqo’te face 2, hair blah blah blah, etc), and the current equipment at time of the portrait being made and not an actual photo.

Waiting on Adventurer Plates 1.0 that can play an entire emote or action animation on loop from the instant portrait, and Adventurer Plates 2.0 where you get a full Titantron entrance video as you walk to the ring Crystal Conflict.

Anyone silly enough to upload modified pose data to the server is opening themselves up for an easily verified can of whoop rear end. lol

the tomestone portrait frame and background seen here are companion app only, with a couple variations, plus there's the moogle and minion stickers as portrait accents

If I did it ages ago and then dropped the app do I have to do it again for these background bits?

I believe you get that emote for free, after you sign in to the app once whether or not you're paying for the premium version.

For the housing lottery, can I only put in a deposit for one house, or can I deposit to as many as I can afford to up my chances?

I'm not saying i'd risk it, but there are people who openly use emotes that an unmodded client can't use in Limsa. I'm more interested in if it's possible.

One bid per lottery period. Choose wisely. Don't be one of the morons who bids on day 1 then whines about it. One interesting thing is the main wards have a lot more bids than subwards. This might just be because the people stupid enough to bid on day 1 are also stupid enough not to check subwards.

I've been looking around the plots, and seeing how the end isn't for a few more days and some plots are at 14 people already, it seems stupid cause why not wait til the day before and find the least deposited houses and bid then increasing my chances?

One thing I don't get is why are there 18 wards for FC houses but only 6 for private houses? Do the devs get a kick out of so many people not being able to buy a house?

An FC house caters to more people, and there's FC stuff (airships) that requires a house .

Because you put the minimum of thought into it, which is more than a lot of people.

I think the last day is going to be a bit of a information race. There will be a lot of people who are holding off their bid to near the end, but because of that the number of people per plot will probably be in flux at the end. If you want to be absolutely optimal you should have some plan for getting up to date information, but just waiting to the last few hours will probably be good enough.

my small FC all went in immediately within like 5 hours of the servers being up because having a big "10 people are already invested here" sign deters other people from a plot you want

I wanted to mention that they not only changed the Moenbryda minion text, but the Succubus one too.

Edit: They haven't removed it, it's still on the tooltip for the icon, I just misremembered where it was at.

Ohh, so that's the bit of background lore that's being referenced in the Noumenon restricted section. When I saw the book that was written by an "Unnamed Goldsmith," I spent a horrified few seconds wondering if Julyan is actually a voidsent.

The PVP is still miserable and I don't know why people are enjoying it. You can't tell what's going on, there's a lot of instant kills, and the matchmaker will randomly throw one guy with triple the rank of everyone else on one team and the other gets stomped.

Loving these portraits though.

They definitely took some inspiration from mobas for the new pvp actions. I did the Pyke thing with my ninja, feels great

Also glad I'm not the only one having CC portrait issues. That default driver's license photo brings much shame.

Actually I think you'll find that that's an Axe thing from Dota :colbert:

AST ult is just Dazzle's old ult which is great because that ult was also great.

this might sound like a stupid question but are you playing ranked or casual

i was having a miserable time until i found out everyone i knew that was having fun were doing casual because you still get currency and EXP and whatnot from it and then everything became a lot easier/more fun when i went over to casual :v:

To try and sum it up in a single sentence, instead of designing like there was more to the mode than the reality of it, they are leaning into the wind of it being a laggy clusterfuck by design and letting everyone take a piece of the action by making everything OP as heck.

The reason people are enjoying it is now everyone can get OP kills, even you, and when you do it owns!!
