    Thats not a style, its literally, lol i dont know lets just give them 4 ears!, because the alternative takes effort.

    So what's the effort-taking creative alternative?

    Figuring how how to handle the sides of their heads. Attractive hair styles for it. How to make it not look weird. Takes much less effort to slap a couple ears there and proceed using common hair knowledge.

    you don't seem to get several things but i'll start with a few. ears = extra poly's which = extra work for the rendering engine. 4 sets more work, 2 sets, less work.

    the humanoid ears clip ANYWAY as doe the animal ears so "doing it for easy hairstyles" never entered into to it since it would be MUCH easier to style hair for NO EARS.

    believe i know, i do cg work...when i do hair it's an enormous pain in the [filtered] styling around or compensating for %($*#^ ears.

    so your laziness BS is just that...though they DID go lazy on another aspect of all character models...the hands. all near enough the same size that they don't look bad with weapons making it easier to set up animations and grips across the races. now you know why elin have humongous man hands.

    No, im referring to the additional creativity it takes to made hair that works for a earless head.

    How about you show us some creativity and make 20 different styles without ears and without just replacing the ears with hair.

    Not my job

    Or, in other words, you have no idea how that'd work mostly because it wouldn't.

    this brings up another question-- how do races with no ears on the sides of their head, like aman and popori, wear glasses??? what the heck is keeping them up?!

    The truth is, the glasses on the NPC Popori Tikat are better suited to him and they attach at the ears at the top.

    As for Amani, who knows. Some sort of enchanted Krysteel Metal fused to raised scaled flesh? Or if not--magic~ It's a fantasy game.

    Something on topic: The ability to select ears and tail separately from hair should be a thing from start. I hope (albeit I know how low the chance is) that maybe some day in the future, this will be a thing.

    That is the most disturbing thing to you? ... There is very little to complain about Original Tera and more things to complain about the Tera we have now.

    What I found utterly jarring almost to the point of uninstalling were the lore "non-sequiturs" like police-car mounts. This is one thing about the top MMOs that Tera got wrong. Final Fantasy is an example of one that got it right. They're so glued to their own lore that it makes the game feel so much more immersive. They've got other issues, which is why I no longer play it, but that's how to make a cohesive virtual world.

    BTW, I don't see anything wrong with having an event with a little RL craziness injected into game temporarily (such as April Fools), but damn, those car mounts and boom-boxes have to be deleted when the event is over.

    The Lore in TERA hasn't really been the utmost focal point of the game, sadly. And with each patch pushing people to rush to 65 so to grind endgame dungeons, the story has fallen into disrepair. Not counting the somewhat feeble attempts to revive a 'beginning' only to immediately disregard it, of course. *coughs* The Sight / Stepstone Isle.
