Au'Ra tails

[Isegrim]

I am just wondering if there has been any feedback from the devs on this issue. They look perfectly fine when you wear robes or havy armor, but anything tight or skinny (even normal pants) make them look completely weird.

Will this be fixed or are they just supposed to look like half their tail is missing at the start?

they also need different animations from bloody cat tails.

i can't imagine the skeleton of a dragon tail functioning the same as a cat, but apparently they do.

they're really copy pasted. =(

My big thick tail moves pretty differently to my old Miqo'te one. I always have short tails though, maybe it is different when you have a long thin tail.

But the question to you people is, what sort of animation would you give the Au Ra to look completely different to the Miqo'te tail animation?

Which tail do you have? I have tail 1 and it looks fine in everything I have.

They do a lot of copy/paste to save on resources. Why you think Au'ra face pretty much look like a hume,elf.cat face? From the live letter we had it seem Au'ra hit the limit of resources pretty early on with just the horns/scales. It seem SE learn noting from FFXI/FFXIV 1.0 and keep on setting limit i'm pretty sure this have to due to cost of up keep on the servers.

But really the fact that they can't even separate horn from the face of the Au'ra due to this limit. Make this awesome game very lame when they can't do half of the things that most MMO can do out there. Housing i bet take up a lot of resources and they keep adding more wards for something that a lot of people only use maybe a one hour or so a day or none at all. I only use the FC housing for a quick repair or to check the market board or meet up with FC members.

Sadly i hope they can't find a way out of this limit where they can't do A because X,Y,Z is taking the most resources so A,B,C get f**k over.

Some of the animations are different (excluding the Ball Dance) my boyfriend went Au Ra and I stayed Miqo'te and we did several emotes together. His tail definitely moved around a lot less.

[EDIT] And if you've ever seen/held a young iguana, you will know that they have very thin fast tails that they will literally whip people with if not trained properly. So not all scaly tails are slow and clunky.

I was at the GC the other night and there was an Au Ra next to me. There I started checking our tails.. It's not similar at all: Miqo'te tail are rounded up and mostly only move the second half, in cpose it moves even less, which is bad, it should be always moving. The Au Ra tail moves as if it's a singular big piece and it keeps moving a tiny bit in every cpose in what looks like a lightly vibrant pattern. Dunno if changes from tail to tail though..

I have got exactly the same one as in this this picture:

Sadly i didn't look much at the tail and only realized after my character had already been created

The animations look fine to me but that gap is like a constant itch that you try to ignore...

Yeah that is the only tail that looks like that. The other 3 don't have that issue. Probably just a unique feature of that tail.
