Elezen's and Helmets (An Ear-ful of crazy)

[saber_alter]

Ive been wondering this forever... which is why the pince-nez glasses are okay, but all the others just baffle me.

friction probably.

They should just hide the ears when characters wear helms that covers the entire head. It's looks kind of stupid to have "extensions" for ears.

We can tell their race by their tail and/or body shape.

It just me or does Elezen get the short end of the stick when it comes to animation,

Just look at this bug I found the other day xD

I'm totally making this into a GIF.

That a very old bug that every race can do it happen on a few mounts too.

Done

Can you remove the gif or downsize it? >.< It makes the page load really slow and it's disagreeing with my web browser.

WoW did this with Blood Elves and it made me cringe every time I put on a helm that hid ears. Just as in this game.. hiding the ears when you equip a helm wouldn't be aesthetically pleasing. It makes me cringe though because "Ouch!!" If I had long ears and someone tried to force a helm on my head with no ear holes; I'd be in a hell of a lot of pain. Cartilage may not be bone, but it still has soft tissue and nerves in it.

Rabbits, cats and dogs "flatten" their eats just fine to my knowledge.

Yet how many emotes do you see where Elezen or Lalafell wiggle or "flatten" their ears? Also.. comparing human's and human like beings to animals is a lose/lose situation. Animals are able to pivot their ears to detect certain sounds and frequencies. Humans cannot. Miqo'te are an exception because of the way their ears are set up like a dogs, cats, or rabbits.

@OP... I think your character looks better with a helmet & healthy set of ears.

[Mikhaill]

Miqo'te have are an exception because of the way their ears are set up.

I'm still trying to figure out how is this a thing lol.
