Guild Wars 2

Is the Raiment of the Lich supposed to remove Charr tails?

I’m going to guess that has to be a graphical oversight or bug because it makes no sense at all and kind of shoots charr in the gut. =/
I was excited about it at first but naked cat butt is terrible to look at running around.

If you’re going to look like a lich do you really need to show a tail?

Just asking.

Just asking.

If you’re a charr, then yes. If you’re going to hide the hood so you can see your charr’s head, then double yes.

Agreed. It does seem like an oversight, especially because there’s a space in the skirt where their tail should be poking out.

Tail-less charr look absurd. I sincerely hope Anet notices all the concern about this and will simply add the tail in as a bug-fix patch.

A Charr lich? Do all the species look the same with his outfit (besides height)?

Charr just look awkward without their tail. There’s no other way around it.

Looks like I’ll have to wait and preview it when I’m on later. I’m never going to buy an outfit but this one is causing a bit of conversation.

It is, and that’s why I hope Anet takes note and does something, because a charr’s tail is like an asura’s ears I guess (nevermind the helmets and stuff that gets rid of their ears). Not to mention it’s one of the main gender identifiers for charr (i.e. females have bushier tails).

It’s just something that shouldn’t be up-and-removed like that. I mean, no other outfit/armor set in the game does that to the charr. Heck, a couple of the outfit even changes the tail, but honestly, I just want their good ol’ regular charr tails sticking out of their backsides.

The outfit looks so cool otherwise, it just looks like it’s blatantly missing something on charr.

Yes exactly! Take last year when we got the Mad King’s garb, it outright changes the tails. This new outfit is just oozing with lazy. =/

I’m not even going to gripe about my normal peeves which is tails clipping through most clothing and armors. This really irks me, and very few sets address it. Compared to this though that feels like nothing.
If I didn’t already know that ANet doesn’t really humor it’s consumers I’d be asking for a refund right now.

Like a-net cares… this outfit was clearly made for humaniod females and ONLY humaniod females… sucks to be you if you are anything but that…happy halloween charrs
And always remember…as a charr you pay the same amount of gems…

My guess is the reason why Charr don’t have tails is because the costume effectively “removes” the character’s legs (and hip area) and adds the Lich costume legs. If this is so then either all chars with this costume are tailless or the costume gives all a tail.

I would put money on it that it’s intentional (a.k.a clipping issues place it immediately into the ‘too hard’ box).

And perhaps some budget cuts to the graphics department…

It makes me sad. I don’t know why we and asura get the short end of the stick all the time. Charr horns get cut off with most helms, asura ears too. Charr tails clip, and now straight up removed? And it’s always irritating wearing shoes that my asura’s side toes poke out from like she’s wearing hobo shoes.

Please stop being lazy.

Even on an outfit like this, the clipping wouldn’t be all that bad, really. There’s even a gap in the middle of the skirt where the tail should go, so it looks like the model was built with the intention of having a charr tail. That’s why it’s so odd that it’s just up and gone like this.

Anet needs to see how awkward charr look without their tails and fix this soon. Please!

I thought the exact same thing!
It’s like the outfit was made to accommodate a tail, but nope. I can only hold out hope that the unanimous outrage at this will prompt some development retcon here. Sadly with all the glorious kitten ups I’ve seen ANet make and then do absolutely nothing to address, my faith in them as a good game company is dying by the day. =/

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the flamekissed light armor get redesigned because of player feedback? And we’re not even asking for an overhaul here, just their regular charr tails.

Very good, also would you be so kind to look into this matter with the outfit as well ?

Thank you Curtis.

We’re looking into returning the Charr’s missing tail in an upcoming patch. (probably after halloween) – appologies for putting you off balance meantime.

while you’re at it, can you also fix charr paw prints in the ground? seriously, walking forwards and seeing backwards paw prints is freaken me out man….

YAAAY! Thank you so much for the news, Curtis, you just made my day!

Now I can buy this outfit for my minocharr without worry!

Glad to hear, but it makes me wonder…. Is this tailless thing intentional (and only changed due to complaints) or does the design group simply ignore Charr?

This made me smile. I was thinking this the whole time I read the thread…
But, But cats need their tails for balance. All the Charrs trying to move around with their tail bunched up in the outfit. Painful and disorienting.
Thx for the reply. I loved what they did with the mad king charr tail and sort of had to do a double take on the missing tail in this outfit.

Good question, but I’m just happy we’re getting our tails back!

Again, I’m not looking for any kind of a special tail. Just our regular charr tails will be perfect. My minocharr is going to be happy to have his bull-tail back!

You might also wanna look into some pills or something that makes your 3d artists give a kitten about your two non humaniod races to ensure an equal quality standard for armors for these races…just sayin

Not to sound ungrateful or anything but, im genuinely amazed that you guys decided to give us back our tails. sadly the way you worded it makes me think that you took them away on purpose. You haven’t really done much to support your non human races, heck at this point i don’t even mind the clipping anymore but taking away our horns and tail is just not ace.

It’s good news that the Charr tail is returning. I’m not sure if it was a bug or a deliberate design decision, but yes, in future, please do take into account stuff like this when designing outfits and armor sets! Our tails are an integral part of our identity!

Thank you for considering bringing back our tails! It really is important to us. I know we charr players are the minority among all characters created, but that doesn’t mean we don’t cherish our characters any less. Even if it takes more work to apply models to charr and asura bodies, please take those steps? We pay the same money/time (in gold → gems) as players who main human-like bodies (humans, sylvari, norn) and we don’t deserve to get overlooked because the bodies have extra polygons and a different frame.

Now all you have to do is fix the backpiece & weapon gaps charr have! ;D (anything on their back basically- huge ugly gap that no other race has this problem it seems)
