We are thinking about adding some more unlockable features on the site. This is not a for sure thing, and it may not go through to production. However, if we get some really cool ideas on here, it might! So what do you guys think would be some cool Armor Point unlockable features? We already have unlockable armatars, what should be next?
Here are some ideas that have been brought up through the Support and Suggestions forums already, and some we came up with. Feel free to voice your opinions on them, and add more ideas!
*Exclusive Games *Things to add to profile pages *Swords and Special Armor *New awards based on certain activity (Commenting, Rating Games, or Forum Post) *Customizable armatars (ability to modify or add things to the current armatars) *Profile skins
Yeah...Newgrounds has something like that. If you reach certain number of points that you get with rating games and writing rewievs(sp?)you unlock music,games,avatars...
Having awards, like the xbox live Achievements would be cool. Maybe having all new games implement this? Could work out so that you can get achievements from games you play and doing certain things and it gives you AP or something! But you'd have to have cooperation from the flash makers and also you'd have to have some good as2 / as3 coders for armorgames to make the code. This would be incredible amounts of work but I can garantuee it would increase popularity ten fold.
Ya, yesterday I beat COD4 on medium because my brother finally decided to let me play it, and I got 450 gamerscore out of that game and now I have 6k gamerscore with like 35 games played.
Ok here is a great example of what drove me crazy to beat a game all over again. So I was playing half-life 2 episode 2 and there is this achievement called, "Launch Gnome into space." And so I thought about this and then I read it online at the beginning of the game under the table there is the gnome and you have to carry him all the way through the game with you to this nuclear rocket thing thats going to kill this building (forgot it's name) and there is this hatch and then you put the gnome in it and then shut the hatch and then like 10-15 minutes later you see the missile go and get the achievement, and so I already beat the game, it was really hard, but even harder carrying this gnome around with the gravity gun, so when a enemy came I had to set him down in a safe spot. Where the enemy's couldn't shoot him to make him fly. Then the car part, you put him in the car then you turn he falls out, at the car part with the helicopter was torture, the helicopter would come down and blow it away so I loaded the game and cheated to get a rocket launcher and blow that thing to heck.
As sort of AC system has been brought up in the past, but I don't think it would work for the site. There are so many ways it could work. When you have points and spend them, would your rank go down? We would like to do something that does not affect your AP, just supports it.
I think along with AP unlockables their should be things to unlock from so many referrals or merits. That way, people couldn't just spam for more AP in general, they would have to work on a certain thing that would contribute to the site. I'm not totally sure how this would work, but this way people would be encouraged more to actually do good things for the site!
Yes, that is a good idea jwalshjr, but referrals still can be used in the wrong way by some people. I do suggest merits and games submitted or something like that?
Well looking back, I really like the idea of having profile skins unlockable. It could be themed to go along with the Armatars and be unlocked when you unlock new Armatars.
For example: Once you unlock the dragon armatars, you have an option to have a dragon themed profile skin.

. No AC wouldn't replace AP it wouldn't affect your ranking at all, it would exist for the sole purpose of being spent. Also this solves a problem of people wanting duplicates of something.
