If I remember correct, the last JMOD respond from Mod Matthe was that Mod Asherz was waiting on an Engine Fix to implement it so it can go to the test phase.

I am not 100% sure if that still is the case (hopes Mod Shauny/Maz... can give more info about). Ceecs - leader of Ceecs Clan

I spoke to Mod Moltare and pushed super hard to convince him to release the update without the engine part they are waiting for (overriding familiars with the avatar).

He said he would speak to Mod Osborne to see if he could push the avatar up the list and if he can then he would be willing to release it as it currently is. The most recent update Mod Moltare has given is that he has commitment that it will be done in 3 months (so end of November - early December).

So not to far away.

Still not keen. It's ruining various aspects of the Avatar imo.


• Turning it into an "XP bitch" by killing the diverse buffs and leaving only the XP boost. Avatars are supposed to be diverse to fulfil the diverse needs of different clans: Skilling clans want XP boosts, PvM Clans want PvM boosts (like Heal Over Time or Protector.)


• Avatars were supposed to bring players together and ultimately they failed to do this because their buffs aren't good enough. Instead of addressing their failure to bring players together by making the buffs more worthwhile, the new approach is to forget about bringing players together and instead add power-creep to the game.



Here's what I think may suit Avatars better:

• Allow all ranks to Summon Clan Avatars, instead of restricting it to only Admin+.

• Allow players to choose which Buff they want to receive when an Avatar is summoned; instead of letting the warden choose what buff everyone receives.

• Improve the shitty buffs on the Avatar instead of deleting them.

- Skilling boost is great.

- Heal Over Time should also affect everyone on the same server for a lesser boost.

- Familiar Faces should increase familiar's stats and slow its timer. Should also affect everyone on the server for a lesser boost.

- Skill Plot Bonus should be 50% instead of 10%. Should affect everyone on the server, and everyone nearby for a greater amount.

- Protector should reduce damage for a greater amount. Should affect everyone on the server, and everyone nearby for a greater amount.

- Auto-Ort is admittedly useless. Could re-invent it to convert Orts to chunks of XP in lowest skill.

- Random Resurrection is a bit pointless and honestly I don't think I can ever see anyone using this due to Signs of Life. May as well delete to spare dev time.


All of the above makes Avatar perks more accessible and potent, whilst still bringing players together

My main concern with it is that it very much sounds as if we'll be losing two of our three avatars. No-one's confirmed this for certain, but they haven't denied it, either. We love all our avatars; we don't want to lose any of them. And how the hell am I meant to pick *which ones*?

Not to mention the fact that all three of them cap in our Citadel weekly. Losing two caps will mean finding two more clannies willing to commit regularly to the work the avatars currently do. :/

From my understand they all will remain and you get to decide which one you wish to have as an override?

Again from my understanding the resources are combined into 1 pool (2700 x 3 = 8100) and instead of summoning 3 avatars and capping them you could do it just from 1. So its not decreasing at all so you won't need to find 2 more clannies to come cap.
