Concern over Reaper Avatar appearance

Honestly wish the Reaper Shroud form was a glamour of some kind. I really like the outfit and skin textures. Kind of surprised we don't have a Reaper set that's almost a one to one copy without the Voidsent glowy effects.

What a pretty hyur you have!

There are some armors that do this too now. The tank and melee tomestone armors flat out remove tails for no real reason. It feels like someone on the art team just didn't take other races into account for quite a bit of gear this expansion.

I hope this doesn't become a trend going forward..

To be entirely fair, there have been people wanting to hide tails from gear mostly because of clipping with tailcoats or capes, etc. In a perfect world, tails and maybe ears would be a toggle, but I think they're just trying to please different groups of people without going out of their way.

That said, it's weird the reaper form doesn't even have "horns" to pretend the ears are there.

Personally, I don't even like the reaper form at all, but hoping for any sort of alternate design would be like waiting for egi glamours at this point.

SE will say it's impossible because of limitations and/or 1.0. Modders will do it in a week.

Which is weird, because the DRK artifact gear has tail armor. So they're kinda inconsistent about whether they account for it or not.

Well, tbh you're only in shroud for like 7 seconds and there's a crap ton of visual effects going off, so it's honestly hard to notice they aren't there even if you know they arent and hate that fact.

I came in here expecting to find someone offended by… something, anything about the Reaper avatar appearance.

I’m glad I was wrong.

Yep. I have been one of these people for some time now.
