Brainy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 4 hours ago, Enhance said: It doesn't really have to do with size, though. But yeah, the format is restricted to JPEG (at least the file header). It doesn't have to do with size, but anything the game generates is not bigger than a few tens or hundreds of Kbytes. (Unless you take the headers of the generated image or whatever makes it recognizable by the game and inject it into your own file, but seriously, I'm not even sure that works and then how many people can do that ?)

KzE Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 You can use any pic, what was taken with client. So whats the problem? If you can screen with client your family photo, you can use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're working on sheeit, give them time, sheesh. There's a difference between reading and comprehension as well. I suggest you strive for the latter. This is the result of their "working on it".

Lurkios Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Really sad, looking around today... No one has a profile picture anymore. I guess why bother, when all you can get is idle stance and grey background? Unless I'm missing something that's not against the ToS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could've added a report feature and have the people with offensive pictures banned due to ToS and all, but NOPE, blanket punishment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo21 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 The portraits taken from the game are so blurry no matter how high your settings are, the positions are also kinda off sometimes, which there's a wide vacant from the right then your arm was cut from the left. Honestly, it's too unbearable, you can't also make the portrait exactly looks like your character 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HungryTaro Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Much dissapointment. Wanted to draw my character too and have that as profile pic.. well I can still draw it but *siiiiighs* So much for sharing creativity. Damn wish they just added a report button but even then I'm not even sure they'they'll be looking at it considering we report a bunch of bots daily but they're still there.

The implementation here is depressingly bad... -Doesn't do what it was supposed to. ++Easily worked around via multiple methods, at the risk of action against your account. -Supports ZERO customization ++You can have any background you like so long as it's gray ++Idle animations ONLY. -Potato quality images. -Fails to upload via the "proper" method half the time. Guess a report button and a file-size limit was too much to ask... On 5/20/2016 at 4:38 PM, BlueBunnay said: Didn't really get deleted. It actually works half the time.

VRock Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 They say they can ban players for having rude images but i still see lot bots in game and they are reported for weeks. So guess nothing will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hire De Lune Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Some guy in another thread linked the BnS stream, in there Babbletr0n said they wouldn't hunt down people who liked to put out creative pictures. Just don't be stupid about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answer basically says "Yep, we wasted time on this, we won't even try to hunt people down and could've just left the original system alone and slapped a report button instead." #NCSoftFailedPriorities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcayne Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I'm not shy when it comes to blaming NC for egregious oversights, however this is not one of those situations. They've done the best they can. Feel fortunate we can actually upload any pics tbh. Yes, I'm annoyed that the profile pic situation results in a total nerf of the system. However its hard to blame NC for their chosen course of action. Nope, NA players, this ones on YOU! No region required this course of action, why were you the only one? Yeah, thats right, cause you kids were apparently never taught moderation. Wanna be mad at someone over the results, look in a mirror kiddies. Check yourselves and adapt. Eventually, you will be held accountable for your actions. Thats life. Deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post is so impossibly short-sighted I'm tempted to call it out as a troll, but regardless: Holding the entire player base responsible for the actions of a few is ridiculous. What's next? Delete the chat box? And, as a side note, this is not "the best they can". We had "they best they can". It was fine, it worked great. This is "crap". They'd have been better off removing it entirely, but as seems to be the trend lately I'm going to assume they were just too lazy or incompetent to change the styling of our profiles.

babeln Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 about profile pic not displaying, as far i know, this glitch was there from start, it sometimes doesnt load... now ppl complain, why not sooner lol EDIT: all thing is bit glitched, even uploading, from beggining, now as well, takes sometimes 5 tries to upload And that brings thoughts, what was actual reason for removing it, cuz i inspected so many people, never seen any inapropriate content, never. I think people are short sighted and just take what nc soft says, as something else, than politically correct excuse. Be happy, we have profile pictures, and theres way to put there your own image, as far as its shot from game, nothing is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh stop your whining. Of all the things that need fixing in this game, character profile pics are about as low on the priority list as can be. Haxors/bots everywhere, and you're more concerned about putting up your pretty anime .gif? Yeah..I'M short-sighted. Speaking of short-sightedness, heres the part you always seem to coveniently gloss over: NC West has ZERO authority when it comes to altering this games code in any major way. They're essentially care takers. (Dust here, sweep there, turn the room light on/off, but dont move the furniture.) So when I say "the best they can", I mean the best they can. The alternative would've been no upload feature, period. As they can "turn off" certain features if the situation warrants it. Essentially we get what Asia gets. If Asia changes its code, our code changes. However Asias upload feature code wasnt altered and it didnt need to be. Why is that? Why only NA/EU? Care to answer that? Regardless. It is what it is. I'm not thrilled about the outcome, but oh well. As I said, there are FAR more pressing issues regarding this game. I refuse to waste any further time lamenting character profiles. The way things are headed this game may not even be around in this region in 6 months, and you're crying over character profile pics? Speaking of uploading pics, hmm, wheres my /facepalm .jpg when I need it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
