This is another re-take on the Armatar discussion because we need to clarify a few points.

First, this topic is to discuss how the AG3 beta manages armatars.

Secondly, if you just want to ask for new armatars, discuss it with Dan.

Third, we are still discussing whether we want to allow custom armatars in the future, because of copyright and licensing issues that will come up from that, so that idea is ON HOLD.

If messages in here aren't about the interface we've built, how we could improve it, etc., then I'll probably trim the message.

Questions about how to unlock armatars, etc., are totally welcome and I'll provide answers as I have them. As of the time I write this, the understanding I have is that all AG2 armatars will be unlocked on AG3 by default, and we will unlock seasonal armatars through some process eventually.

We are also going to start asking game developers for one or more armatars related to their game, which users can select, but I don't think they'll be locked in any way. We've talked about unlocking special armatars based on achievements, but since achievements aren't finished yet, we can't go into much detail on that.

Is there anywhere we can see what some of the new armatars look like?


As far as I know, the only new armatars are game-based armatars. All the AG2 armatars are available in AG3.

And as far as armatar creating contests, I think that's retired as well. But cormyn has said he may bring back the seasonal armatars.

Hey Cormyn I'm wondering, but will there be custom armatars in AGv3? Because in the title it says "no custom armatars". But not too long ago you posted in the Groups and Clans thread that there might be custom armatars. So I'm not sure if it's either a chance or no chance there will be.

YES! I've been wanting the seasonal armatars for so long! Are you planning on making more seasonal Armatars or just keeping the same ones?

The post in the clan thread was during the time this thread said Custom Armatars on Hold, but he must've changed his mind, because it is now No Custom Armatars.

I'm thinking they'll keep most of the old ones as the "legacy" armatars as well as some new ones.

Sketchy armatar suggestions are sketchy and quickly made, and should not be considered anything but a tired mod's bored use of time inspired by above quote.

Cenere, that is awesome! I love the Vampire one!
Anyways, I like having no custom avatars, to be honest.

How abt seasonal armatars being permanant as soon as you put them on? so if your not there when they are implemented (or equip them beefore the dissapear) then you have to wait a year to get it again... just an idea.

You are too kind, considering they are not actually that great. And I made some bad colour choices too, but this is not my art thread, so I will shut up about that, and just move on to the extra one:

and look forward to the open beta and all that for the progress and moving closer to launch.

Go to control panel > Armatars > then choose the armatar you want, then click update profile.

Armatar don't really interest me since they all suck. Really bad. I kept this one armatar since day one now, never found a better one to be frank.

But I'd sure love to get my hands on that last phoenix one you just posted.

I don't get my hopes up yet though. If it get added it will most probably be added after all those already existing ones and I'm 100% sure I'll never get to the very bottom of the already existing list anyways.

Maybe there's one you like better that you haven't unlocked yet.

When AG3 comes out, armatars will no longer have AP requirements.
