CharterforGw.3149 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The new forum has a nice use of avatar images, I was wondering if there will be more choices in the future? or even a chance that you will be able to choose one of your own characters as your avatar, the same picture as in the character select screen.In general, what does everyone think of the current avatar images we can choose from.I personally went for the thief since it's the class I play most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klowdy.3126 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 There are not nearly enough atm, far too many overlaps to be a useful thing. It would be nice to be able to use your own pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakonas.4317 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Ye. More avatars would be great. And if they allowed settong up own image that would be the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 They've already said more avatars will be coming - but it will be more stock images, not ones you can upload yourself.I can kind of understand why they don't want to do that, it's a lot of extra work for the moderators. Not just making sure people don't have inappropriate pictures but making sure they stick to restrictions on the size and shape (there's always someone who tries to find a way around automated restrictions to make their avatar gigantic) and providing support to people who don't understand the process or have problems with it.It would be great if they could do it eventually, but I can definitely understand not offering it right away.

WARIORSCHARGEING.2637 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 much rather they took them out of the forums and did not subject us to others bad tastes in forum profile pics . much more like it if they just gave us our names in a border or something on that lines and left that at that.

Klowdy.3126 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I thought about the size issue, or people using gifs. I assumed they would have a size limiter to keep that kind of stuff from becoming a problem. I would like to be able to use a picture of my characters, but either way, it's a non problem.

sasya neko.1985 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 the old forum was suppose to use the "character avatar" system but they never really used it, would be nice to have it now since i see tons of ppl with the same avatar.
