Concern over Reaper Avatar appearance

[Arzalis]

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.

What a pretty hyur you have!

Thanks...

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Yeah, and I don't agree with them. There are a plethora or other races that can be played without special ears or tails. The ears and tails of these races are defining (often times customizable) racial features, and shouldn't be removed. That's exactly it, "without going out of their way", because if they did go out of their way, we would have gear that accommodates these races. At the very least they could have done something to allow these features or a variant of them to appear on this model.

It's quality and consistency that matters. Just because something may not appear for very long at a time, doesn't mean they should just skimp out on other aspects of it. They went to the trouble of creating the form to begin with, but also supposedly stated there would be a unique variant of the form for each race.

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

I’m glad I was wrong.
