Maybe we can talk NCSoft into sending Jay, BaB's, and Nelson to Anthrocon, MWFF, or MFM for instructions and visual examples on how to model tails 
I can just imagine some of the slight problem(s) attending these cons might cause though: like BaB's punching out roughly 1/3 of con attendees; Jay curled up in a corner cackling wildly and needing to be sedated; and Nelson trying to convince WarWitch that she'd look great dressed like Felicia.

Just because we're getting animated tails, doesn't mean we'll lose legacy tails. I'm certain they learned their lesson from trying to change hairstyles over the years, that no matter how bad the original may be, and how improved the newer ones may be, there will be SOMEONE(s) who would die rather than change.
Bushy tails are great, and quite likely (though my two dogs would like to dispute your claim that more tails are bushy and not narrow).
However I was just thinking about it before I saw your thread, and there are actually two other kinds of tail I'd like to see as well:
Robotic tails. In the spirit of Scorpion (or even Doc Oc) there's a lot of characters with robotic limbs. Would be sad if all the new tails are TOO natural seeming.
Fake Tails. The tails we have would qualify as Fake quite easily when compared to animated mobile tails, however what I'm hoping for is a tail that hangs straight down, like capes, and possibly even drags on the ground.

No one said we're "losing" legacy tails, just that you would have to reselect them under "lower body" instead of "belt" the next time you do a costume change.

I definitely would like to see a fox tail. Not so much because I'd use it myself, but because I'm trying to convince a friend to get back into the game, and it would really help my argument against him.
I want multiple tentacly tails.
I would be both the most popular/most feared character in Virtue.

When I read the subject line, my first thought was squirrel tails. I laughed a bit.
And then I suddenly came up with the idea for a hyperkinetic kung fu squirrel kid, and now I really want to make the character. PLEEEEASE can we have squirrel tails?

Even better if it comes with matching back tentacles, like a squirmy Crab Spider.

No. We are losing nothing. It's win-win. Not only do we get animated tails, *ALL* tails will be removed from the belt category so you can have a belt AND a tail.

Some dogs, especially short-hairs, hounds, and sleek 'water dog' types, tend to have narrow tails. I was more referring to canines in general. Wolves, foxes, cyotes, and other wild dog species have tails with lots of bushy fur. Also, a lot of domestic dogs that you see with 'bobbed' tails (disgusting practice, IMO) are naturally bushy tailed. Spaniels come to mind.| Bushy tails are great, and quite likely (though my two dogs would like to dispute your claim that more tails are bushy and not narrow). |
At any rate, there's not really a good narrow tail for canines, either. The 'rat' tail almost works, but it's TOO thin. Players don't have access to the stubby bobbed tail that Warwolves have, either.
Someone I was chatting with in game since the OP mentioned that they'd also really to see feathered tails.
I've been with CoH for over 5 years.
STO didn't allow me to make a foxgirl alien, so I totally ignored it.
Just saying devs...no dual pistols and no fox tails will make me very very sad...WAIT A SECOND!!!

I expect some seriously cool things to come out of this one. I'm typically not an excitable guy, but I'm still excited when I think about how much they can improve tails if they really put their minds to it. I don't even mean anything majorly major, but I fully expect to see at least a few new decent tails with the remake of the old ones.
Sadly, this also means I'd be somewhat disappointed if they don't.

Personally, I'd like a big giant tail/s. Not the little anemic dangly thinges we have now. Something I could use to sweep my foes off their feet with. I have an obvious preference for lizard/dino tails as evidenced by my handle.
But my IRL surname is Fox, no joke. All the rules of comic books as I know them tell me that at some point... I shall adopt a heroic alternate identity and gain powers related to the orange rascals or related to the concept that foxes evoke.
...So...
...Yeah...
Bushy tails too plz?
Please... think of all the irradiated foxes I've tried to get to bite me.
I know it sure as heck won't happen, but...Kitsune tail?
My Empath defender would simply hate for that ( one fox tail would make her mad enough )
More realistically, a better dragon/reptile tail would be nice. Like, something off a croc or alligator, that looks vagueley tail like.

Well, we can't properly have bushy tails without a TAIL POWER SET, now can we!? Tail whip, tail spin, tail trip, tail....uh...snap.
Ooooh, I may be onto something here!

Squirrel tail please. Even though I let that name go after holding it for years.

Imagine if we could have tails that looked like the dagger-tipped tails of the aliens from the Alien movies and were given a few key attack powers using them...

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
It looks like we're about to lose the old 'legacy' tails in favor of animated tails. I have characters who use all the tails and will likely make great use of the animated tails when they're released.
Please let me take this opportunity to request something that has been missing from the tail menu since launch:
Bushy Tails
Most dogs do not have narrow tails. Most are quite bushy, with a few exceptions. Accordingly, there aren't many tail options for canine-themed characters.
I personally have a Racoon-themed character, so a striped texture on a bushy tail would be fantastic. I imagine that there are quite a few fox-themed character who'd appreciate a 'point' texture.
Thank you for your consideration.
