-Just a suggestion,
When we kneel down a Statue of a God thier Avatar appears.
But the Avatar Form and the Avatar shown when you kneel down doesn't looks alike.
My suggestion is why won't they change the Avatars into the Avatar Forms cause I think they are same beings.
Or even Improve thier looks cause their looks isn't that much nice.

I think the avatar upgrades (the stuff that's in Factions and Nightfall) should be added to Prophecies... But that's deserves an entirely new thread...

As for the Avatars of [Insert god/goddess name here sometime], I thought they were going to look the same, but it turns out it was not true. C'est la vie, I suppose.

It would be nice to see continuity, though. At least when it comes to small things like this. Come on, ANet. Where's the ball?

The avatar forms and the things that "spawn" when you kneel at statues are NOT the same thing. Example; The Voice of Grenth is an "envoy" from grenth. The avatar form of Grenth is the physical representation of grenth. As I said before, they are not the same thing, and imo they shouldn't be the same.

Exactly What Anarion Silverhand said.

The ones that are called when your kneel are messengers, servants of the gods, not the gods themselves.
The ones Dervishes transform into are the embodiment of the gods themselves, a Dervish become infused with the very essence of the god, thus becoming much alike him.

If avatars need a change is to make them all have the same options.
There are A and Rt blessings in Elona, but there are no P and D in Nightfall.

In Tyria they are few and have only two blessings, but it can be explained:
- In Ascalon the charr destroyed the Shrines... but the areas that humans still control should have statues in each shrine too.
- In the Shiverpeaks the dwarves control the land. The Deldrimor dwarves worship the Great Dwarf, the Stone summit worship the Great Destroyer.
- In Kryta the White mantle whiped almost all statues (althought you can still find some)
- In Maguuma there is no explanation but 'it's too far from human civilization'. But since there is already one lost temple of Balthazar, they should have shrines.
- The crystal desert is exaclty as the Desolation, it should have Statues in each shrine.
- And the Ring of fire islands is filled with Mursaat and Titans, no way there could be any statue there.

I have 2 suggestions here.

The one you guys are talking about is:
Why won't they change the Spawned Avatars into the Avatar Forms?

2nd you guys don't seem to see is:
Why won't they improve the Looks on the "Spawned Avatars"?

Cause the Spawned Avatars look bad.
They need a Stronger and Cooler look^^!

Absolutely correct.

Besides, being *Level 30* is imposing enough. There's no point modifying them further.

However, if Eye of the north takes place after Nightfall does, I would like to see an Avatar of Kormir skill.

Why SHOULD they improve the looks? It's personal preference if you like them or not.

Well, Balthazar is pretty cheap, almost the same as a Ghostly Hero, and the Melandru thing is basically the same as a Druid.=\ At least Dwayna, Lyssa and Grenth have some more original forms.
