NXE avatars, what do they need?

[Seydaman]

having screwed around with my avatar for a couple minutes i feel its missing something. like guns of knives of katanas. or possibly ninja outfits with splinter cell goggles. anyone else feel like its missing all the best stuff?

 

[Piemaster]

True, they need more wacky outfits.

 

[Tyrant55]

They need a point.
Possibly more avatar games?

 

[Lukeydoodly]

Needs more comedy gear indeed. I would love splinter cell goggles and clown shoes.

What Microsoft could do is have achievements unlock clothes and other extras for your avatar. Say you got 'The One Free Bullet' (Or whatever it's called) in Half Life 2: Episode 1, you could get a HEV suit, or a crowbar. I think it would be a really nice touch.

I want to see an extra accessory type for their back, like they can wear a backpack, Or on Halloween they can dress up like an angel, or better yet, you can get a sword and have your avatar be a ninja.

Zombie skin.

i wanna change the color of the clothing.

About time someone said that. They already have some decent clothing but you should be able to change the color of the clothes you want. And they should also add a whole bunch of funny/random clothes in it. And all for all, I do like the idea where you get clothes for unlocking achievements. That would give people another reason to get them.

What do they need...
... a reason?
... a purpose?
... a few games in which they are involved?

 

[kapzer]

More games (that dont suck) involving avatars, and more variety in clothing.

To make xitel proud, they need Holly.

Pretty much this. I don't really see their purpose. I only made one because it made me, and I only picked one of the generic ones.

 

[Manbro]

I pretty much agree with the majority of what's being said, there needs to be more customization of the Avatars. Maybe they could even give your Avatar more outfits when you buy and play the game on your Xbox, the costumes could be themed on the game in particular.

 

[Galletea]

Holly!... Oh I was beaten to it. Bugger.

But they do seem to be lacking in the cool department.
Maybe customisable outfits would be better.

Word.

Oh, and they will never allow weapons as accessories. Ever.

The girls' outfits are pretty lacking - I can't even put on a pair of blue denim jeans, for crying out loud. So just more of everything. I'd also really enjoy it if playing a particular game unlocked the main character's costume. You play Mirror's Edge, for example, you get Faith's outfit, you play Prince of Persia, you get the Prince's and Elika's.

Also, perhaps when you purchase a premium theme, it could come with a specific outfit for your avatar. Like the Battlestar Galactica theme, for example, could get you a Colonial military uniform.

 

[sirdanrhodes]

They need to be more "random" to make them different to the miis!

I want non-human avatars. [small]puny humans[/small]

There are games that support Miis avatars. So far they're not ones I'd enjoy playing, but maybe some day...

The purpose is to act as moar speshul userpics, and I've found them useful when looking at my (bluddy lengthy) Friends list to see who's partied up with whom. I suppose it could be done with something taking up fewer resources, but the 360 has tons of processing power left over when in the Dashboard so I don't see a problem there.

HOLY CRAP I WAS JUST QUOTED BY SUSAN ARENDT!!!
oh also I wonder if any one has considered the serious possibility that Microsoft may make you start paying for "exculsive" new gear. I really think they might do this and that would seriously suck, or at least make the biweekly clothing updates for gold members only. (although have you ever heard of a silver member?)
