DakotaCoty.5721 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Gaile Grey said that having our own avatars uploaded onto their server would not be possible (quote linked below).@Gaile Gray.6029 said:Hey again,Taking your feedback on board, we've disabled avatars related to reactions. The reaction system remains, and we appreciate your sharing thoughts on various posts, but we no longer will see the wave of images across the bottom of a post. You know it's going to be a problem when a single post shows three rows of images in just 6 hours! =) And this is something that was not readily apparent in our testing, it only became noticeable when you guys dove in and reacted, reviewed, and shared your thoughts. So thanks for that feedback! We'll continue to review and make decisions on other input and suggestions over time.So I am starting a thread for a Guild Wars 2 avatar request topic.Here are some of mine:Sylvari MaleCharr FemaleHuman Female (human female meta, duh)The new class iconsLion's Arch, Divinity's Reach, Black Citadel, The Grove and Rata Sum.Any others that the community would want?@Gaile Gray.6029 I hope this thread is okay and in respect as to what you said.

Ceridwen.6703 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'd like avatars of the kittens (like the pics for mini kittens/cats). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I'd like to see profession-themed characters with different backgrounds and poses, for example male and female Mesmer characters surrounded by butterflies on a purple background, or Rangers with some nature background theme. Also, as mentioned above, seeing some essential NPC characters would be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShogunTaira.1843 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Just to clear things up, are we talking about our own post avatars or the reactions that are below each post like Thumbs Up or Helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyncale.1629 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 If we can not upload our own Avatars then I think they should provide a large amount of Avatars to choose from, not all necessarily related to GW. It is unfortunate that our Avatars will never be unique, at least give us so much choice that it can be somewhat unique. All avatars provided by Anet should be appropriate off course, but for instance I would not mind a couple of SAB avatars thrown in the mix. The current offering is just sad.

I agree with your first point, we should have a lot of avatars available to us - hence this thread; but the game is GW2 so I think they should be Guild Wars 2 based or at least human generic with no copyright issues.It'd be odd to see WoW avatars on a GW2 forum.

Bron.9647 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 As Tyncale.1629 said, SAB avatars would be awesome. I also think at least one male and female avatar for each race would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ildrid Ildhjertet.2489 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I would love avatars of all the skill-icons :) and maybe avatars with guild emblems? There's some room for customisation as well, if you could "design" an avatar the way you design a guild emblem. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinn.2375 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Is it possible to user our characters pictures as avatars? I mean the picture shown when you select a character on map. It's small enough and it's already generated somewhere on the GW2 servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the skill icons as a problem though, and at this point anything would be welcome to increase the amount available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would definately require some work to get a lot of free to use avatars that fit but I have seen forums that had a great selection(like 800, and you could pick through categories). I think Anet should put some work into this. :)Ooh, I like Irreverents idea, that's several hundred avatars right there, including lots of quirky ones.
