Greetings Dear Players,

I am new to the forum side of things so I will make the brief,

Today I have come to discuss a small yet I believe important topic, Do you like portraits? I like portraits,
it seems to me that we all like the way you and other see us in game, in fact even a few have been so bold as to host competition on who has the best portrait, EvEportraits.com for example,

we really seem to enjoy this aspect of the game, how ever, have you, like myself, spent an hour or so working hard to get your character to look just right enter the game hoping someone would say, Hey man, love the new look, or +1 on that awesome coat Bro, only to have some wild-eyed hooligan slam you with a 100k bounty ( I think we all know who that could be ) totally ruining your new look, well fear not, I propose we remove the current and extremely unpleasant WANTED sign that cover almost 1/4 of the character sheet portrait and replace it with a simpler and neater red skull and cross bones in the bottom right hand corner , I feel this change could be done quite easily and I am sure that at least a few of you will agree. ( I link a screen of my idea for reference )

There should be different levels of "wanted" banners based on amount of bounty.


100k nets you a tiny red skull...

1bil gets you a banner.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

That looks better, but I don't see why it even has to be on the portrait.
For instance, that empty space under your portrait that's exactly the same shape and size as the wanted sign.

A perfect exapmle of how it should work...and a perfect example of why it should not be in game.

I do agree they look stupid and old and too big.
Also as easy as it is to put a bounty on someone, it kinda screws everyone's attempt to have a nice portrait.

I even think sometimes what's the purpose if character customization if any moron can just scrap all your creative work for 100,000 isk.

Not a bad idea. Although personally I don't mind the banner too much. Whatever, really.

Pfft, did you see the results of the eveportraits redux comp? The winning group of portraits was as ridiculous as the top 12 on newedenfaces.com. But at least on newedenfaces you can see who the competition are.

*Snip* Removed off topic part of the post. ISD Ezwal.

Can we get WANTED signs on the portraits in the login screen and on EVE gate? I get to make like I'm notorious.

Personally I prefer the big red letters to the skull..

Inb4 Renegade Heart puts a bounty on everyone posting in this thread. Big smile

Seriously, ruined my portrait yesterday as well.

And I wholeheartedly support the idea about the tiny red skull in case of small bounties.

Can we get them on our forum portraits maybe?

ISD Ezwal should have a wanted sign for his crimes against the posting community.

Make it animated, so it allows the full portrait to appear before fading in an even bigger wanted sign.

Also when you undock the station should beam a spotlight onto your ship, with a siren announcing your entry into space.

I'd have to upkeep my own banner if that were the case.

The appropriate action has been taken.
