Hello!

Every race has their culture, history, and behavioral patterns. You are welcome to play outside of them, as long as you understand that your character is then not the norm of that race.

Hmmm, Kaityra not being normal? Ok, signed. :) But reading some of the posts here I think that at least some other players take a similar approach.
I'm curious about the base of your decision about Enkidukai having no problems when sitting on chairs.

With kind regards
Kaityra

That base has been mentioned multiple times by multiple players, pay attention.
And why are you so heavily discussing this anyway, it's not like this is an integral part of the game...

Yes, Sir! I'll pay more attention in the future but if you have any links I would really appreciate it.

And why are you so heavily discussing this anyway, it's not like this is an integral part of the game...

Because it is an interesting question. Is there any problem discussing it? I mean, it is not off-topic or something...

With kind regards

I will simplify. The tailbone does not come directly out of the behind, but sits higher exactly as it does on us. A tail does not interfere with Enkidukai sitting as humans sit.

don't usually say this, but i have to disagree with the Devs on this one based on feline bone structures. but hey, it's your game, you call the shots for the majority. as for me personaly, i will be in the minority until i see a flaw in my logic, or a bone structure chart for Enki's from settings. i know i am being suborn, and i apologize.
however i do not withdraw my point.

Enkidukai have feline qualities, but they are not cats, just like humans are not apes. I find this an amusing topic, but I've given you answers and I'm going to refrain from repeating myself :)

@Irick: I think all you have here are some misconceptions about the feline tails structure.

we [the  player/contributor community] have little information. there for we must do our best to compensate. as i said, show me an Ekien x-ray, then this topic will be settled.
we [the  player/contributor community] need information, not summorys. put out a settings encyclopedia. until then all sorts of useless speculation will go on and result in more "amusing" topics. sorry if i come off blunt or offensive. I'm stressed out right now. and a tiny bit angry i still can not get other information from settings. not that it is their fault, i might not be trying hard enough.

i will admit i am not the "normal" player and probably am requesting to have accsess to far more information then the "normal" player. to tell you the trueth i am probably over stepping my bounderys. i want to be able to create in this world the PS team has provided, not just observe and interact with what is already there. i want to know "Why", not just that some thing dose. i want to add, not just take. but i do not think i, nor anyone, can if we don't know enough about the PS world as it is already.

@Draklar: i am pretty sure "it don't bend like that" or if it dose, it ain't doing so comfortably. i mean, you try bending your spine against a hard service for possably hours on end and see if you don't get a few pangs here and there. a tail is not stiff, but it is not pice of string eaither. your cat siting on a chair that is at least 4 times as big as him, dose not a good example make.

wow, long post, i feel better now. i think i'll go to sleep.

This topic should have already been settled, because I am telling you as an art developer that Enkidukai have no problems sitting in human chairs. The fact that I have no time to draw a customized "Enkien x-ray" for you should not affect you to this degree. I want you to do an experiment for me. Sit down in your chair, and feel for your tailbone. You'll notice that usually, it is not pressing into the chair unless you are slouching back. On Enkidukai, the tailbone is an especially pronounced continuation of the spine and sits high enough that they experience no discomfort.

You can choose to remain stubborn about this, but it's becoming illogical when I am giving you these answers time after time. Now you can choose to accept them, or continue thinking that you have the "more right" answer even after my repeated explanations.

@Irick: The examples were meant to show how the tails can be bent. I do believe that should be enough of a proof.

Hi yer all ...

first of all: I have moved to another city and I am only able to use the internet at work for about 2 weeks, so I say sorry, if this is a silly question that could have been answered by myself if I had tried the new client. (Reading forums at work is one thing ... but playing just impossible)

 :offtopic: ??
So hear (read) my question:

Is it possible to sit on chairs in an "normal way" for any chars ? (My last remembrance is that it looked kinda weird if you climbed a chair and sat down on it ... Has that changed in the new version ?)

 :ban: ??

Thanks for your attention.

Btw. where is the animation for sitting in a chair?  ;)

There is no such animation yet because we have no system in place to detect where you are sitting at the moment.
