Come on Qbix, I think Foman's average joe interview proved that SOME of you have lives. btw, your avatar is creepy.

OT. Wouldn't the older members want something more memorable, like a ride along? Oh wait. They done got one of thems.

Seriously now, If I were in this older category, I would want something more meaningful than a custom avatar for my continued dedication to the site. However, I don't think Bungie should have to do anything to show their appreciation because no other developers interact with their community like these guys do. It's amazing, and that's enough for me.

Custom avatars would be thrown in with the whole member bar debate, it would be just another thing to complain about for people who don't have it.

I don't think abuse would be that much of a problem, considering it would be for members that are held in high regard, however I don't see it happening anytime soon. I kinda like custom avatars only being available to mods/admins.

How do you get custom avatars? I want to take a screenshot of my player models head.

  • 03.25.2012 2:16 AM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

It really is not needed with all the available options we already have. You have a vast list to choose from on Bnet and if you don't like those, you can put something together for your emblem in one of the games and use that. Still not happy? Get coup.

  • 03.25.2012 2:44 AM PDT

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Yes you can haz.

It's called coup. The whole point of custom avatars is that you like the picture, so the arguement that 'not everyone can see it' is irrelevant.

Well -blam!-, I'm sorry.

the stupidity of some of the reason both for and against this is frankly offensive.

It only takes a simple question to change everything.

Wouldn't that cause the website to take longer to load? I don't think that's something I would want to deal with.

  • 03.25.2012 3:41 AM PDT

Look, it'ts fine how it is, the right members get custom avatars:
- Theme Masters
- Forum Ninjas
- Employees

Custom avatars are a privilege, we're lucky to have avatars at all! Why do people compalin about things that already work fine, you wanna complain about something? Then moan about the rubbish search bar.

On a side note theres no point using Coup, the next new hawtness will stop scripts like that anyway.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I'd say that we probably wouldn't be allowed to due to the fact that there are some sick minds in the world.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Many other sites have custom avatars even for those who just sign up. I've never seen any of them get abused.

Mythics only custom avatar?

Sounds good to me.

But surely, the members who do that would just be banned anyway? And if it's only for older members you can't expect many/any alts...


Would be a nice little feature, the fact that coup exists shows people would enjoy a little customisation. But I wouldn't exactly be heartbroken if it wasn't a feature.

Yup, I was suprised you didn't get it when the Ninjas did.

I love these threads. The fountain of stupid reasoning that comes forth trying to justify whatever aspect of the status quo is under debate is marvellous. This one takes the biscuit for me this time. It's just wrong on so many levels that I can't help but love it.

Too much time, space and motivation. Also, these forums looked like poo when it was there.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I think Bungie should give custom avatars to anyone who can beat Jerome in an arm wrestling match. The only problem with that is Jerome wouldn't have any time for guard duty, as there will be kids lined up around the block just waiting to challenge him when the IP drops. I don't know any way around that eventuality. Perhaps they should "promote" Jerome from guard to Official Bungie Arm Wrestler. They'll have to supply him with gloves, or at least lots of hand sanitizer. I mean, would you want to use your hands for anything after arm wrestling sweaty game nerds all day? I sure wouldn't.

OT: Tom has shot this down time and again, so I don't see anything coming from this thread. I do agree though that custom avis for some would be a good incentive to achieve through some kind of contribution here. However blah blah Tom has said no like a thousand times over the years so blah blah.

You know, he really hasn't. At least not in principle. There are certain practical issues (just look how -blam!- long it takes you guys to change avatar), but I don't think he's ever had anything against users, in moderation, being able to customise their appearance as much as they please. The problems come in in performance and management terms.

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

Because giving trolls such as John Cena and Shane Dawson the ability to have custom avatars is a great idea, amirite?

Give the ninjas the ability to take away custom privleges?? problem solved.
