Different Race/Gender Tabard Displays

Unread post by Ryno »

It always kinda bugs me, some races/genders have better tabard display than others. Best being male human usually, and worst... well that's up for debate, hehe.

What race/gender do you think a tabard looks best on? Which the worse?

I agree, Human males are probably the best for fully displaying one. I suppose Draenei too. They both have broad chests and neither slouch so the image isn't obscured.

I think Undead females have it pretty bad in terms of tabard display. Not only are they thin-waisted, but with their slouch you can't even really see the tabard. Male trolls have a similar problem.

Dwarf males who have large beards completely obscure it.

Night Elfs also display tabards very well as both stand perfectly straight are dont really do anything for you to miss whats on the tabard. Humans also both male and female. Draenei as well as Veph said. It seems no offense to the horde but a lot of the horde races have little "habits" that draw your attention away from the tabard itself which is sad really :(

Aye, one reason I hate making male dwarfs.

Female gnomes are pretty bad too. Malificient is still my "main" too I suppose, even if I haven't been on her in months.

But her tabards always looked... wrong...

Females don't really make for very good tabard display racks, since their breasts tend to distort the images. For certain designs this is more problematic than others.

Also some of the tabard designs look like they're meant to be worn around breasts... <.< Take the Illidari tabards, for instance.

Worst: Undead Female. Both the stature and the breasts. The infinitesmall waist doesn't help.
Best: Tie between Human Male, Draenei Male and Blood Elf Male.

I made an account here just so I could reply to this topic. I'm a male troll and I feel that I have the worst display.
I understand that the female tabards are distorted, however mine is almost non existant.
The only time my tabard is ever fully shown is when I stretch my back, which is about a minute or two of not moving. :?

I think the ebon blade tabard is one of the ones that looks really good on females because the hilt of the sword fits between the boobs... hehe. Looks horrendous on anyone wearing a skirt though. I don't understand why they cut the tabards off at the waist. :(

Because of clipping issues. If the whole tabards are shown, they'll intersect (spelling?) the robe. It looks very weird.

Well that could be fixed, no? I mean, it might not be an easy fix, but it's just a matter of coding after all, right?
