When you equip the Seer’s Stave premium cosmetic and then look at your character’s “doll”, you see that the eagle on the top looks… backwards (see the attached picture)? It really looks unnatural and unsightly, I doubt it was designed to look this way.
The other sign it wasn’t intended like that is the fact that on the cosmetic’s preview the eagle looks towards you (see the other attached picture). One could even call it “false-advertising” but I’m pretty sure it’s just some sort of bug, it probably gets mirrored somehow.
Steps to Reproduce (Required):
Get to your staff’s cosmetic selection menu
Choose Seer’s Stave from the list
Note how on the preview the eagle top looks towards you
Apply the cosmetic
Go to your character’s “doll” view, note that the eagle now faces backwards
This I think is the result of how the models are rigged. They’re all ‘held’ the same way so in combat the eagle points ‘forwards’ from the character like normal but because of the angle used here it’s held ‘backwards’ in the doll view.
So probably not a bug, just something not noticed till now bc all previous staves have been the same on the front and back.
This actually makes sense since if you pretend to hold the staff in that orientation and bring it down to the charge attack pose, the eagle will be facing the correct way.
