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.
Bramiboy, if you signed up before this past Tuesday, check your spam folder for your invite code. If you still don't have it, send me an Email and I'll look it up.
on AG3 Beta, how can I access to my account
You use the same username/password you use here on AG2.
Given the compartmentalized way armatars are set up, would it be possible or practical to allow users to create their own custom sets of favorite armatars?
Not sure what you mean by "at the same time", but our Armatar system will only let you choose a single armatar at a time. You'll need to manually change your choice if you want to use a different image.
If all our AP will be reset to zero with AG3 what will happen to our current armatars? If we lose them then people might end up with 5000 similar armatars. :O
I don't like the way the list is done right now. It just leaves a lot of empty space to the right. Maybe if it was made into one big list, the way the ones you start out with are done, and wrote on the gray area "Unlocks at 500 AP," the whole list would look a lot more appealing. Also, you'd have less scrolling down to do.
I will probably have them by tomorrow. Any certain place you want me to drop them off, if they mess up?
Hi MoonFairy,
Did you happen to check your other browsers to see if you were getting the same behavior? If they did show weird output, please post to this conversation.
016Bramble, as we've already said, all of the legacy armatars will be unlocked at launch, and as of right now, we don't plan to have armatars locked to point values or anything. I *do* agree, that having the legacy armatars in a bigger group, or a 'better' grouping (instead of a few dozen groups each with only 3 or 4 items) would make sense... even if we grouped them in packs of 50 or something.
We probably wouldn't even track the old AG2 point value on the Armatar listing. They're all unlocked, and I'm sure a few users with more than 10,000 AP on AG2 will create an archive somewhere.
