Since we have a LOT of duplicate threads on Armatars, I'm creating this sticky post where users can discuss ideas about armatars.
We've stated several times that Dan is in charge of armatars at the moment, and that if you want new armatars to go let him know. We have several new ideas for armatars on AG3 that we'll discuss in this thread as we work on it.
For starters, we ARE going to allow custom armatars at some point. I'm not sure if it'll be there when AG3 launches, but it's a priority. We'll have strict requirements, probably something like being a member for more than 6 months, and have a certain number of points/achievements or a reputation level of a certain rank or something. The specifics are still being worked out. One idea is that at one level (points/achievements/reputation), you could upload an armatar that only you could use. At another level, you could unlock it for your friends to use. At another level, your followers, and at the highest level, make it available for anyone on the site. We've also discussed the idea of letting our most artistic users create entire *sets* of armatars for the site.
In AG3, all users will have a unique URL for their armatar, which they can use on other sites if they choose. We'll have a link on your dashboard that will show you what the URL is or how to download a high-quality version of the image.
All armatar uploads will be heavily scrutinized by human eyes before they go live on the site. Users who abuse the system by uploading an image against our Terms and Conditions and other rules and guidelines about images will be permanently banned from the site.
Anyhow, if you have other ideas, questions, suggestions, please place them here. If you see other users asking about AG3 armatars, please direct them back to this forum thread.
I don't think they're going to be adding some new ones any time soon, just because of all the work that they're putting into the new site, and the chances of them added every 50 points is unlikely, since there would need to be an immense amount of them available to chose from them.
Some armatars I think they should add are ones that you make, but you need to be of certain points to unlock it. It would be cool to make your own, and there would be an incentive to make more points.
Page one of this thread helps with this a lot. I for one would love to see how this will turn out. Like, how the outcome of letting users upload custom armatars will be. Worst case scenario, it won't like everyone, especially me, hoped.
I meant, I don't think they'll be adding anymore to this version of AG, because of the work they're putting into the other site, they'll probably add them to the other site when it's out of beta.
Yeah, they are really in depth in the AG3 stuff, so they won't make it in AG2 if they even change the armatar stuff. They will change it in AG3, if they will make it.
I read through this thread and haven't seen this suggested yet:
Will the seasonal Armatars that used to be on the site be available for use on AGv3? If the seasonal Armatars are available then I suggest that users would have to get a certain amount of reputation or karma points to unlock certain seasons.
Not 50,000 AP. The only person who has been even dedicated enough(if you want to call it that) to get 50,000 has been firetail_madness, and he blew out the rest of the competition by about 16,000 AP. So, maybe 20 grand, or 25 grand. If at least 100 users have gotten over 50,000 AP, they might add one for that. But until that time, probably not.(it would be a bit unfair for only one person to have that privilege).
