Ok, I have been complaining about the lack of character avatar visibility in chat to show off our gear, and it is still a valid concern. However, I noticed today that you can go to the chat window in D3 beta, and select an option to show you the character avatar of anyone in the channel. I have been in the beta a long time and didnt realize that option existed. This post is for anyone else that had not yet noticed.
Just logged in to check it out. Kinda neat, but it would be even more awesome if they made the avatars more accessible without taking 2/3 of the bottom of the screen with 2 windows. Nice catch on that, it's better than nothing. Being able to see their player profile and gear is a step in the right direction.
Awesome - I was expecting and waiting for this one. If it's a primitive version of what you want it to be well... you can look at how WoW's character viewing screen/inspect has evolved over time to be what it is today. I'm optimistic about this.
I would love to see some Blizzard blue feedback on whether they can improve this and possibly make it a little more like D2 chat, not because i want it to be D2, but just that certain features there were liked by more of the player base (my opinion).
As someone above mentioned, if they just put the names and avatars in a bar on the bottom or the side we could scroll through to look at character gear....i love the way we can also inspect chat channel characters, and look at their stats, achievements, gear, and skills/runes.
However, you can only see one when scrolling/ clicking it? That's kind of bad.
I won't click random people to see if they have anything cool on. It should catch your eye, as battle.net 1.0 did. Or idling in Stormwind/ Orgrimmar.(please dont hurt me!) You see someone walking by, and think awoo thats epic!
Will you search for amazing gear? I guess i will do it once in a while, but really? Just import the battle.net 1.0 already
