Just spotted this not too long ago. Now for some reason, I can't shake it. It really bugs me:



Could just be me, but I find it irritating. Oh well, I guess I'm just a picky customer...

Well if the real Charr ears are like the too, you'd wonder why the modelers decided to make uneven ears, and that'd be a whole new problem, ja? It's just a helm though, bit still a nitpick that's buggin' me.

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

Report it. No, I'm serious. Maybe it'll get fixed that way. In any case, that's seriously sloppy design work.

That is not the reason why you are boycotting the ascalon helm.
The real reason is that the helm is just ugly.

Now if it was 15k luxon helm then thats a different story.
15k luxon plus its helm just kills every other warrior "male" armor

The whole helm'd be cool, but dang. It does look better than 15k Luxon, though. If that set had a cool helm, it might be on par with 15k Kurz, baby!

But no this is irritating. I never have the Ascalon on anymore (go figure).

Well considering the concept behind the helmet, it's no surprise the helm has crooked ears; Ears are naturally crooked.

I agree with the last post about the natural ears thing.

When you're modelling something non organic the general procedure is to model one side, then copy+flip it, and you have the right side - stitch up the middle and voila, 100% symmetrical helm.

The designers/modellers went out of their way to make it A-Symmetrical and, imo, i quite like it. I'd expect a "helmet made from a dead animal's skull" to be slighly different on each side anyway.

To each their own i guess /shrug

Took a gander at the female one, and there were no problems.

So they decided to make the male crooked? Meh, focus on the battle instead?

I think it was an intentional part of the design, as i wouldnt expect soemthing to be perfect if it is being ripped/cut off of a dead body that has been slaughtered in battle.
