So, on an Aurin female, if you wear or preview any item that has some bulk to it - like heavy armor especially - the entire chest section of the armor inflates like a balloon when she breathes! It's a bit comical to watch, really, but it bothers me. : / I can't wear armor that has any kind of bulk to it.
 
Here's a chestpiece when she's recently exhaled, so normal.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
And here's the same chest piece as she inhales. It expands in all directions to a very strange degree. I don't understand why her lungs turn into massive balloons as she breathes wearing big armor. : /
 
 
 
 
 
 
Is this intended, or a slight oversight by animation teams? This only happens on female Aurin, by the way. Every other race is fine. Is this some secret Aurin-hate by the animators? :P
 
And since some people don't believe it looks absolutely ridiculous, here's a video I recorded of it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xy2XUDt16A

			Obviously she's inflating balloons in her chest, heavy armor is pretty flexible looking in WS so it doesn't bother me a lot.	
----
			
There's a reason I avoid heavier costume items. 
 
This is it. 
 
It's rather silly.
 
Every (Aurin) armor does it to a slight degree.
 
But it's most pronounced on heavier armors.	
----
			
I mean CLEARLY, female Aurin all have a rubbery like skin and skeleton that inflates with their enormous lungs.
 
Alien physiology man.
 
 
(Joking aside, it's likely an oversight but not a priority fix. I'll see if I can speak to a member of the Art team about it.)

			Wear the explorer's uniform if you want to see your chest expand 3 sizes.   It's pretty obnoxious.  Also, keep in mind that Aurin are not supposed to be able to wear heavy armor at all, so it makes sense that the costumes don't look perfect.

I think I might wanna see that, for... reasons.
 
But really, agreed with low priority :P

			"Look, it's a complicated issue... *rolls eyes* Some of us feel like the Mordesh shouldn't be the only bustier ones, OK? *pouts and angts about cupcake size*"	
----
			It realy isn't a huge difference,  just raises at the odd spots.  :P	
----
			Bah, I'm not an expert in Aurin anatomy, but it doesn't seem that bad to me. *shrug*	
----
			I'd agree it wasn't optimized because Aurin have no heavy-armor classes by default, and being able to wear unusable armor as a costume is a perk, not an Entity-Given Right.  Also agree it should be fixed but I'd like my hair to fit inside my hats that WERE intended to be used as an Entity-Given Right before they work on this.

Well, it happens on all armor types, but if the armor has any kind of bulk to it (vests in light armor, anything padded looking in medium armor) it's just ridiculous to watch her chest expand and shrink 3-4 times the size. I think it's just the way the Aurin breathe (really, really weird, by the way), and it messes with armor, causing some issues. My other race I use is the Human female, and she doesn't breathe like an Aurin does, so there aren't any issues.
 
Aurin females kind of breathe through their sides, if that makes any sense. Their chest expands and shrinks on the edge, rather than slightly moving on the front. Probably because of how tiny they are, but I donno. I'd like to be able to wear heavy armor and not look like I have balloons in there that keep losing their air. xD
 
This is only when standing still, by the way. ANY other time, it works just fine. So I can largely ignore it if I don't look at the front or side of my character while standing still. xD
 
If I could take a video to show the ridiculous aspect, I would. But I both don't know how, and my computer would explode -- darn AMD. >.>

			I actually filed a bug report, because my chua always looked like she was having an asthma attack, struggling to breathe. The breathing animation is very odd on chua. Their chest expands way too much, and the pace of breathing is too fast. So it's not an Aurin only thing.
