Read the new dev blog on upcoming avatar changes in Incursion and it made me think:
The current avatars are obviously just a freeze-frame snapshot of your avatar with no interactivity whatsoever. In the dev blog it's mentioned the avatar changes are being made to be fully animated and compatible with Incarna capabilities coming out next year. But before that happens will we have limited interactive capabilities?
Things like changing your character's emotional and facial expressions, camera angles and clothes at your whim so that they, in essence, become interactive emoticons -- allowing things like mocking whining victims by making your avatar look like he/she is crying when you type "your tears are delicious" or doing an impression of this look when 250 supercaps suddenly cyno in on you.
Another perhaps more simple way to do it would be to include a variety of pre-set emotive expressions that are auto-generated when you create your new avatar that you can choose from by right-clicking your portrait. That way no constantly-rendered new images are forced across the server every time someone changes their look; they're all essentially pre-loaded a la every instant messaging program ever made.
It's really a pointless feature that won't affect the game in any way whatsoever (hopefully), but I think it would be kind of cool as a run up to the "full" interaction we'll see in Incarna. ___________________________________________ The Hero of Kamela The Terror of Tararan The Executioner of Ezzara |
