Change/Remove Lalafell "Lifter"...

Of all the things to complain about, you chose this. A chair. A bloody chair.

Goodness gracious, a chair.

Just out of curiosity are they getting a changing table instead of an Armoire?

We haven't had an official lalafell furniture since the step stool, so we were excited to finally have something that wasn't huge or way over our heads!

Chair just looks awful in general to me. Ever saw that meme of Toad with LEGS? Kind of reminds me of that.

More on topic: the game has a limitation at present in lalafell-sized furniture being useable for players. Yes, there are pieces in Tomra that can be made available but take a minute and think here. Only lalafells have access to those areas where the furniture is. Why? The devs most likely lack the ability to create the furniture to only be exclusively used by lalafells only and not by the other player races. So to allow the functionality of the benches, chairs and beds; only lalafells have access to these areas.
Could they make these pieces accessible? Yes. Could they make furniture items that would be appropriate lalafel-sized? Yes. The issue is they either do not want to take the time to code the specialized furniture to be only interactive for lalafell or they cannot put in that line of code to do so. Anyone interacting with that size of furniture are going to clip through the floor/be impractical in lying down on it (the bed). It will break immersion for those that do care about things like that in the game. So we get a monstrosity like we do with that chair because it needs to be interactive for all races of all sizes.

Oh and the name should be something else. I feel it is placing expectations that are false for the furniture item's current design.

If you dont want to use a Lifter in real life that is ok, if you dont want your character to use it in game go ahead but, why do you want it to be cancelled for all those people who doesnt care? You are in your right to express yourself but dont expect everyone to agree with you.

This I can vibe with. I can definitely understand the probability that they made things specifically for tomra for a reason, whether it be due to coding, functionality, etc. Though the community voices have been fairly loud about properly sized furniture for us too and mentioned long ago it was something they wanted to look into.

On the other hand, housing is also kind of a mess in general. People are glitching them all the time either to create their own amalgamation of furniture/clipping madness. I've seen people make some super cute lalafell sized homes with smaller furniture bits, cubbies to sit at, etc. The desire is to have smaller things so we aren't surrounded by furniture twice/thrice our size. The lalafellin step stool is great which is why we desire more functional things like that! I just really hope they can incorporate so much more than our current limits.

As a miqo player, I second this LOL

Half of the answers in this topic are the reason why Lalafells are tired about stuff like this: They ask for more respect and all they get are puns/jokes about their size... and then some of you come here and say that you "dont understand why they're upset", yea, sure pal.

Some people want "helmets" on Vieras, others want to unlink the horns of Au Ra from their Faces preset, others wanted male viera to be playable, Hrothgars/Vieras want more hairstyles available, etc... near all these things, to have the name of an item changed to please those that feel demeaned by it, its not only the easiest problem of them all to fix, but also the less superficial one.

Besides, some people here says that "they have no problem with the chair name", thats awesome, no really - its awesome. It means you're having fun with the game. I'm sure if you're okay with an item called "Lalafell Lifter", you will also be okay with this item having any other name as well, because if this chair name doesnt impact you, good for you! But others are tired of stuff like this.

This is The response I wish people would realize. Everyone has something they'd like to have fixed or changed for the better. Mine just happened to be waking up and seeing an item I felt insulted by, even if only by name or appearance. Intensified by the fact that lalafell are always the butt of jokes and harassment, and an item labeled specifically lalafellin and looking like a baby highchair didn't rub right... When I saw more people on social media complaining about it as well, one would think well why not bring it up to Feedback on the forums where the devs can see our concern?

But nah. Our requests are seen as "too much" though because... it's so easy to pick on lalafell and call them jokes. As demonstrated by this thread and attacking for something that doesn't really affect them. And wonder why we're upset.

I'm glad some people like it and want to use it, but it's the same thing as other items/glams that have had controversy around them. Just asking for a little change that doesn't feel downright insulting.

I understand the design with it looking like a high chair but is the name really that bad? I'd understand if it was called a booster seat. What name would you give it?
