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 have some idea conserning armatars and rank name an so on. i would be cool if we had in AG3 a system of leveling into different braches example(the names could be different) the point being you could chose the branch twords which your advancing(these are just few ideas but there is potential) tell what you think and the idea of armatars comes in, you would be obviously making some branch exclusif armatars avaible/unavaible to you when chosing a partucular branch.
That's cool. Actually, there isn't a lot of armatars and the good ones are hard to unlock. Yours, Cormyn, for example, can be unlocked around 8000, isn't it? I have only 824 AG points and I haven't got a lot of choices. That's annoying!
Check it out, Haloman! New armatars. Thank you Phil! Hope AG brought more dwarves with the pack
no, no, no, i don't think that's new armatars, thats just a new way of having armatars and sorting armatars. (i think) but i do want more armatars (but don't get rid of the old ones!)
As I've stated SEVERAL times: if you want NEW armatars, bug Dan. All existing armatars will be available on AG3, including the seasonal ones AFAIK.
At this time, we don't have any plan (unless Dan is working on something he hasn't told the webdev team) to have any new armatars on AG3 *other* than to come up with game-related armatars as part of the achievement system. IE, beat a game, and you unlock that game thumbnail to use as your armatar.
