Suggestion: Allow a 'set none' for Horse Tournament avatars

Larino (INT1)Larino (INT1) Posts: 4,572
Dear, dear GGS,

As much as I appreciate you adding avatars to the game, I would really like an option to set none.

Last tournament I decided to try it out by setting my platinum medal avatar and found out it shows above my farm name in the upper left corner of my farm. I did not like this sight and I thought the barn picture was much better, so I went back to change this and found out it was not possible...

With this tournament, unfortunately, the avatars did not improve in my opinion, so I am still stuck with the platinum medal avatar, really wanting my barn back. Would it be much trouble to add a 'choose none' option to the 'set avatar' menu? I would really appreciate that!

What do other players think of this idea?



What I do not like:

What I would like to see (the option with the grey 'forbidden' sign is edited in by me):

The result of clicking the 'set none' option would be my beloved barn:

Furthermore, it was suggested that deselecting avatars to go back to the previous empty barn display should be an option. The team has considered this to be a valuable idea and has agreed to add it as an optimization as soon as our tight schedule allows for this change.

Yay! Thank you :D To read the rest of her reply, click on the blue arrow button in the quote.

    It would be good. Those new avatars are truly hideous and the previous one looks like there should be some picture in it.

    I do agree with Larino

    would love to have the choice of showing a barn instead of what we get now.

    or maybe - let the barn show what league we are in.

    thanks Larino!
    Fully agree! I think the barn looks far better above my name tag, too - and would very much like to have it back!

    I agree, that should be an option. No one should be forced to be stuck staring at something they find less than pretty. 'scuse me while I go put the paper bag back over my head....

    I agree & while you're at it can we have the same option for "No Title" & "No Trophy" too please, cos frankly those teeny tiny trophies are just embarassing & what's with the latest one being a chess piece? 8|

    Might as well have that option for all three, indeed, scissors! I kept my first trophy on the stand since the second one just looked a little weird to me... XD

    I am so glad someone has posted on the avatars..there definitely needs to be more options, and I would like to know why all the avatars are male?????? There are women playing, and tbh, I'm not happy having a male avatar pic above my name ;(

    Some are female ;) It is 50-50 in fact. One of them looks pretty male, I agree, but it is definitely a woman. The silver avatar with the hat is that female. Also the diamond avatar is a female, but I do not think many people have it. And besides that, they are just not what I am used from GGS... The game characters look so much better than these avatars even!! They are just ugly...

    I also mean that the new avatars are ugly, and since it is not possible to get the barn back, I use these two BriannospamDKplatinium.pngBriannospamGameDiamond.png in the absence of better (platinum on my us farm and diamond on my estimates farm).

    It would be nice if we could even make our own avatars (like here on the forum)
    - But on the other hand ... - what's the point in having an avatar when other players who visit my farm can not see my avatar?

    I don't think GGS should get rid of them! Though I agree that it would be nice to have a "no avatar" option!

    If GGS comes up with an avatar I like, I would be more than happy to set it. For example the diamond medal avatar Brian showed would be more to my liking, but alas, I did not win it.

    Everybody has their own taste. Some may like a certain avatar and others may think it is hideous. Therefore a 'set none' option would be great. Or maybe after a while you will get tired of a nice avatar and you do not have any other, so you want to set none for a while again (I do really like the barn too!) - then why not have the option to take the avatar off your screen!

    I agree with the OP. In a way.

    I think there should be a default avatar you don't have to win first. It could / should look exactly like the old barn.
    In fact, I think there should be a default for ALL the place things. Like horse title, trophy, garage machine.
    We do have a default for the flag, after all.
    The default title could just be "No title won yet". The default trophy and machine could be kind of empty.

    Exactly! When I clicked on my Gold League profile pic, I didn't realise that I would have to see it on the main farm. I dislike it immensely.

    I still think those medal avatars would look much better less empty. Like this, obiously the picture should be drawn by someone that actually knows how to. And a bit bigger medal, less background color in the farm view.

    Yeah, I selected it also and now have that picture on my name. From the info I read at the trophy stand, I understood it to be only seen by my competition in the horse contests. I wouldn't have selected it if I knew it would show up on my farm!
