Re: Tier up Avatars

  In the past 18 months I can't recall seeing any new avatars. Not that it's WGT's primary concern or focus but not ones to shy away from making $$$ I'm surprised they haven't capitalized on expanding upon the current choices.

  It's not rocket science - changing shirts, skirts and trousers, shoes with an alternative colour or adding a hat or some other accessory isn't exactly a developers nightmare for the mildly competent.

  Just one idea I thought would be nice (though it would be a WGT freebie), would be to have an avatar added to the existing collection upon moving up to a new tier. For example:

  Amateur:       

  Pro:               

  Tour Pro:       

  Master:          

  Tour Master:

  Legend:        

  Tour Legend:

  The prices vary. They are in the Pro Shop.

  yeah but this wouldn't be a custom avatar. Players can pay through the nose for a custom one if they want and choose what their avatar looks like.

  WGT would decide upon the appearance of these avatars (like the others available from the Pro Shop), players would not get to choose. Hypothetically, it would appear by default in their collection or be available as a 'free purchase' from the Pro Shop once they reached the new tier.

  I do like the idea of more variety with regards to colors for shirts/slacks for the avatars. Several of the avatars shown in the OP I would gladly purchase, depending on price and which 'default male' was made available of course. I'm not a real big fan of the embroidery on the shirts, however.

  Thanks, it's good to get some helpful feedback. I agree. As for the embroidery, I'm sure WGT could make something that looks better, I just made these up in about 10 minutes to give as an example :)

  In defence of WGT everyone had the opportunity to get the free pinehurst avatars.  I even gifted a few  lol

  Great idea Steven.

  Had this one a couple of months ago and I still think isn't a bad idea.
