Gear that Deletes racial features needs to not be a thing

Oh, this is neat.

I hadn't noticed that they started hiding tails for gear. I actually support them doing that, it was always annoying AF to have a cape that your tail just clips through. Legit, one of the few downsides to playing a Miqote in my book is the tail clipping ruining certain types of glams.

And Miqote don't need ear socks for every hat ... those ears are small enough to lay flat on the head with in reason.

Why dont they actually start designing outfits with designs that dont need to be altered for tailed races etc like the shire custodian gear with its cape off to one side

First people complained about clipping, just said to hide them.

Now people are complaining they're just hiding them.

Never happy. They're not likely to go about making special models.

I'd love it if sometimes I can hide my racial features. Especially the tail.
So here is a solution, gives us both hide & show options.
This should satisfy the people like me who want to hide their racial features when wearing certain glams and gear
And should also satisfy people who want to show their racial features.

Some of us like capes. Are we supposed to never get them just because people who picked a tailed race don't want to use a different glamour that works for them? One shoulder capes don't look good.

They are also making too many capes that clips badly with tails!

It shouldn't be impossible for them to make two variants of an armor with and without capes.

Had to look up how people do modding (no im not doing it myself and have no intention of ever doing it) once and apparently sometimes it is as easy as just removing a 3d component from the armor.

Not to mention that the devs are already doing it with shared armor looks where one role gets a robe and another does not.

I've been a catboi since ARR, and the gear design has never really made any sense to me, which is why I never really got into the glamour scene. For example, the OP is complaining about the deletion of racial features, which is a valid complaint to make. However, what is the alternative? A helm that has the shape of your ears? How does that make any more sense? Do we wear helms with the shapes of our ears, that cover our ears, so we can't hear anything? It just never made any sense to me and both are equally immersion-breaking designs.

I have always been a firm supporter of race-specific battle gear, but NOT at the expense of playable content because I don't really care about what gear looks like when it will just become obsolete in a few months anyway.

That being said. I think the best compromise would be if there was race-specific glamour recipes. This would alleviate a lot of the issues we have with racial clipping. There's no real reason why we can't have a couple of race-specific sets per expansion.

Its not just capes I was on about. Its all gear. Like the butt armour or the various robes. Asking for a version with a hole for those of us with tails isn't asking a lot. Its literally deleting a polygon that can be restored with any basic modelling tool.

Regarding capes:

I like capes too, and a lot of people do like that shoulder cape.

I'm not asking them to stop making capes. I'm asking why cant they design them so the cape either has a version that works with tailed races and one for none tailed OR design capes that don't clip the tail anyway like a parting.

indie studio with no budget, covid, semiconductor shortage, other things are more important, just wear something else lmao, fanta to a different race, new workers wouldn't understand the 'vision'
