My thing with this, To me Alpha ARC and TC are on the same playing field, As all of alpha get Westars and jetpacks which is pre damn good, So they make up for a number or two in their kits, So i dont really see a need to add more personally,

This is correct. The main reason for only allowing certain groups animated avatars was simply due to optimization, it was never about being special or “cool kids only”. Our cache system isn’t optimal (wasn’t implemented by me) and we didn’t want mobile devices, or slower connections to have any significant load times. With that being said, it’s always better to deploy changes like this in small batches rather than forcing everyone to reset their avatar one day due to a performance issue. This was the main reason we only allowed it on certain groups. I haven’t touched the ACP in months as @Forseenhas mostly taken over my old role and I act as a Consultant when needed, he’s welcome to enable gif avatars for all users if he wishes to do so, but understand the negative performance impact it may have and also the pain-in-the-ass it is to reset all avatars like we’ve had to do in the past. My recommendation would be to only allow this if the current cache system is optimized; and understand it still may have a negative performance impact. They probably already know this, but @ Forum Adminshould never touch the cache settings unless you explicitly know what you are doing and have potential support from our host as it can be wonky.

Honestly. I like alpha but I don’t think this is the right move. With your kits, your already more op than any RC trooper excluding Null. I really don’t think you need more slots for something so powerful that is balanced by being low in number. Alpha is active so there really shouldn’t be a need for more of them running around. It’s already enough of a headache as is to account for alphas full capability during events as a game master as well. 2 more of them would give me a migraine. honestly out of all of the battalions I think RC needs more love, their kits just got knocked down to the ground. Unless I see some more justification on why Alpha needs to have more slots, it’s gonna be a -1

Literally all of our Alphas were on yesterday at one point or another... the only Alpha I don't see at least every day atm is Hades and Lerona. Who are both on LOA... This is probably a time zone difference Dennis, your work schedule probably makes you miss them.

-1 wah wah wah cry cry we no have same number as large battalions that’s aren’t dead. oh sorry did I say that, gotta get the activity and numbers up only alpha I’ve seen is malore and that’s pretty infrequent. Dumb me all you want but this generally isn’t needed, that’s coming as the former bcmd
