I wanna horse on my iksar.... :(

[Xephier]

I believe what should be fixed which would be somewhat easy to do is the tail going through the mounts... ive always avoided buying horse mounts on my iksars for this reason, not to mention,.. sometimes the tail protrudes from the horses pelvis and makes it look like the horse has a shlong, it's offencive! cmon sony, fix it plz, it's been 3 years now, people may argue that soe was busy on other projects, but they had plenty of time to create a new swim animation for the iksar, which dont get me wrong, i love, but it's a cosmetic thing that if they hadnt done, id have never noticed, fixing that bug however would take them a fraction of the time, and id be able to own a horse on my iksar... people may say im just being picky, but i cant stand it, I did have a way to fix it manualy by crouching before summoning the horse, but then they changed the horse rideing animations so the tail still goes into the mount regardless..  also when rideing the mount the tail looks to be having sexual intercourse with the rear end of the horse, this is also Offencive, PLEASE fix, i will love soe long time if they fix, thx!PS: this applys to all tailed races.

Hehe.... there are more remarks to make about the characters on mounts in my opinion. Allthough I have to admit that EQII has the best from the games I played so far.Your remarks of things being offensive.... the eye of the beholder <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />. Maybe things could made be different, but I surely don't see things in it you see <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />" />.With the "hair"-remark of the other poster I fully agree.Femke.

Especially if it was indeed Freudian. XD

Freudian? not sure what that means, sorry, im just trying to put it in a way that soe might understand, cuz they seem to jump outta their chair the second they see anything 'offensive' however there are bugs and glitches that have remained in this game for 3 years and they haven't seemed to make the slightest attempt to fix, as i said, i used to be able to fix it manually and they even messed that up, hair going through a shield is one thing, it's hair, much less noticeable, a tail(especially da big suckers like on the iksar race) is a major body part like a leg or arm, and just looks completely Wrong when it's going right through the mount, not to mention stabbing the mount repeatedly as you ride it... poor horse..  it's amazeing the animal doesnt bleed to death from being repeatedly impaled by something that big, ive kept quiet about this for 3 years now hoping soe would just fix it in one of their many random updates,  but still nothing... I believe many iksars would rejoice if this fix was made, if it does happen then, many Thx to soe ahead of time.

Looks like it is cutting them in half.

[Aamalthea]

This happens for Kerra too.  Haven't had a horse on my Ratonga yet though but I'm assuming it's the same.

[Xephier]

yep, i did say, all tailed races <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />, and josgar is right, the problem is in something called collision detection, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_detection" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision_detection</a> .... However this problem could be solved in a much simpler manner, without having to mess with physics an such, just adjust how the iksar(or other tailed race) sits on the mount and have the tail go backward as it would when they are in battle(without cape)

[noetici]

<p>I agree the tail looks a little silly but... seriously... I think it'd look even sillier sticking 'back,' if you were an iksar would you want your tail pushed that far up? I certainly wouldn't. Not sure what the solution would be <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>But I have to say this because of the [Removed for Content] comment... horses in game already DO have a [Removed for Content] (and rightfully so). At least it looks like one. If you turn your graphics up and look at their underbelly, sure enough you'll see the lines that look basically just like a horse [Removed for Content]. ahem. not that I've ever looked</p>

Since this issue doesn't effect gameplay, its not going to get much developer love here.This suggestion in my original reply was not a joke.

[Xephier]

haha.. i thought he was joking as well, didnt know there was a 'look and feel forum' and considering the subject...  well, if any dev's see this, please feel free to move the post the the appropriate forum. as for the reply by noeticity, actualy it didn't look that bad before they changed the ride animations, least it looked more natural then the tail going into the horse, and i like my iksars. i wouldent do anything to hurt them <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> and as for norrsken's reply, ya, i already stated that it'd be much easier to simply adjust the rider's sitting position, i really do think as games progress that much more collision detection should be used, i get sick of every new game i get there's something going through something else that shouldn't  be, but that's a different story, this is an easy fix

I'd suggest re-posting in the appropriate forum if it bothers you that much. That way it'll get the attention it deserves.
