Nikal.4921 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Capes, no. I don't want to look like a super-hero or have to see everyone else looking like super-heroes. Cloaks (like traveling style cloaks) however, a big yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't even need to actually equip it, just spin the character in the preview window and the bottom will clip right through them, even on a human.

Rodzynald.5897 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Well... capes clipped even in gw1, there are clipping issues with ordinary items and armour too. Don't we need a better game engine for better cape physics? I don't really mind capes in the long run, but if you want them and don't want any clipping issues with the current technology on which GW2 runs, then truth be told, you don't want capes at all. Make up your mind guys. No capes, or capes with minor clipping, there is no in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juhani.5361 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Butt we have tons of capes! Seriously, though, no. I've never seen a game that handled capes correctly. Ex. SWTOR has tons upon tons of capes, and every single one of them has clipping issues. If it's not your boots popping through, the cape clips straight through your speeder's innards. It look stupid and shatters immersion. A running Charr, like mentioned above, is shaped a lot like a speeder. Mounts could be another problem.

Alga.6498 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Capes back in GW1 was cool, to rep your guild, specially if you had bronze, silver or golden trim as showing off your hard work from tournaments, GvG and other comp stuff. I had most of the time my cape toggled off because it ruined most of the armors, but I did enjoy using it whenever I was with my Guild and Alliance.

Nilkemia.8507 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Where's the "I don't really care" option? It's be nice if they were in the game, but if there's clipping issues like people say, I doubt I'd bother with them. We already have a few cape like items, and every time I try them, they clip so much that I'm immediately turned off the idea. And I don't even use charr, they've probably got it worse.

moonstarmac.4603 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I would love to see capes again. But, clipping is an issue, if not addressed properly. Perhaps, a short cape that doesn't go below the waist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevaahe.6308 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I understand the clipping issues and the development problems they face with doing capes, I accepted that awhile back. But then they made backpieces like [banners of Ancent Elona](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Banners_of_Ancient_Elona), which is essentially a mini cape. Yes it clips, but I don't care that it does.

That's fair. In your shoes, I'd probably change the suggestion from asking for "capes" to asking for "more banners". Sure, it's a minor word choice difference. It's just that "capes" come with all sorts of other baggage that "banners" don't have to carry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
videoboy.4162 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I never know what to make of the "it would be difficult" responses. Sometimes I realize that it's probably a valid excuse, but other times it sounds really lazy. That might be because it's been used for many more things than capes. I've seen Anet put out some really nice things, so I feel like they could accomplish a lot more if they tried or perhaps were able to hire an additional team to do the trying for them.

Ben K.6238 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If they had to hire additional people to make them work, capes could end up as an expensive gem store accessory. I don't see them being any significant draw for new players, or retention of existing ones. I'm wondering if that might solve the problem, or potentially make things worse.

Westenev.5289 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Capes wouldn't really work, due to the excess of buttcapes and puffy butts. I'd rather Anet focused on more (potentially standalone) chest and leg items that look simple yet fashionable, and leave the option to bring back capes in the future.

Sorry, I didn't mean capes specifically. I was just thinking about other things they've said were too difficult and wondered if they just needed a larger staff. Although, I **do** think they need a larger team to generate armor and outfits, even if that means **some** of it has to be in the Gem Store.
