Kuulpb.5412 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 > @"Gaile Gray.6029" said: > Forum members reported a clarity issue with avatars in the English-language forum, and we had noticed it too. We've solved the mystery of what was causing that situation and we will be able to correct the issue this week. However, in order to do so, we'll need to remove all avatars so that we can upload an improved image of each. Since the forum system will not automatically replace your chosen image with a new, refreshed version of the avatar, you will need to manually add or re-add your selection onto your account profile. > > But don't despair, there's good news to share! When we upload the refreshed existing avatars, we'll also be uploading a few dozen *new* avatars! This will allow you to choose from a broader variety of profile images, and you can swap those out whenever you like in the future. > > Project Avatar Update will take place in the next couple of days, so look for an forum announcement and check out the new images! Oh Thank goodness, I also hope we'll get the new elite spec icons, such as spellbreaker, I love the feel of spellbreaker, occasionally I do feel the damage is lacking, but other than the occasional, I love it :D Random note - :D First thing that appears in the "disappointed" Emoticon... I have no clue why, maybe because it has a D ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castlemanic.3198 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Woo, looking forward to the new avatars (though it's likely i may stick with this one). May I suggest dragon avatars? one for each of the elder dragons and one for Glint, Vlast and Aurene (perhaps 2 because of PoF ending)? Cute baby aurene is too good to pass up as an avatar.

Cyrin.1035 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Why can't we upload our own avatars? Even if we have to submit it for review beforehand, that would be way more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jana.6831 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 *points left I have been a good girl for once. Cyrin: I get your point and I'm somewhat confused by the same avatars all over as I think they're the same person, but on the other hand: They'd need someone to go through all avatars to check if they're allright. And I don't think they want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoGhosts.6790 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Just remove them altogether. They are a waste of screen real estate and their implementation on these forums is tokenistic at best. Avatars are about personal expression and identity. The opportunity for this is almost entirely absent given their implementation here. They are pointless and get in the way. ~TG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharterforGw.3149 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 do the old low quality avatars stay as your avatar if you don't do anything , to change your avatar? pretty sure some people would actually keep the low quality for fun xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Doom.4380 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I don't like forum avatars. I never use them anywhere. Is there an option not to have one? If not, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aveneo.2068 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Is there an option to remove avatars completely? I mean this limited selection and lack of personalization doesn't really add anything in my opinion. If no such option exists maybe it's an idea to add one (like you did with the 'hide signatures')? Personally I find these 'avatars' pretty pointless and would rather have an option to have them not visible at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Sweet news. The current images are so small, thus pixelated, and the variety is non-existent, so I am looking forward to the new ones. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the forum system will not automatically replace your chosen image with a new, refreshed version of the avatar, you will need to manually add or re-add your selection onto your account profile. You probably can or they will all be reset to no avatar.

Even if we have to submit it for review beforehand, that would be way more fun. Yes, I understand the fear of people uploading NSFW stuff but you do not have that on every forum that exists on the net here. Plus there is the fact that every image on this forum is tied to a paid GW2 account anyway, which I doubt most people want to risk. Gaile- Is there some technical reason why we can not upload images?
