I think that if you use the forums search function, you would find several threads on the topic of capes and why Anet isn't making them.

Yeah they also said Raids would never get added and same for mounts. Just Saiyan.

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

Actually, the Devs never stated there would be no Raids, nor Mounts. In fact, you can find articles commenting on Raids pre-Core GW2 launch. The 'never' came from posters on the forums.

 

What was stated by Devs was that capes would be problematic because of the physics, clipping, and the posture of Charr, I believe. Again, though, no 'never'.

here's your cape [banners of Dynastic Reckoning](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Banners_of_Dynastic_Reckoning "Banners of Dynastic Reckoning")

 

capes are pretty ugly in GW1, I only turn it on when I needed to rep my guild, most of the time are turned off

[ReV.6097]

Would wish for it, but not likely to see it anytime soon. At least not any capes longer than the ones from PoF story rewards.

yeah clipping would be a nightmare on charr with capes, if they ever do _fix_ the clipping it might mean a very slight (~to possibly significant - depending on implementation -) performance hit with all the collision detection constantly triggering (unless they make it so you could turn off other player's capes/backitems)

[starhunter.6015]

Capes if only we get them in 5 styles. One for each race so that they would least fit right. Charr would need either a split cape or one hanging down from shoulder to miss the tail. Give Silvari one made of flower petals/leafs .

The only reason they don't make them is because they know the vast majority of people wouldnt bother with any other backpieces if this one was added.

Or..theres a particular race that wouldnt be able to use them without either A.) having hilariously bad clipping issues if the capes moved. or B.) The capes would be stiff boards like the GW1 capes were and would look idiotic on people so that all races would be able to use them.

I would love a good edgy vampiric style cape for my necro.

Nah man. You have no imagination. Just give charr a shorter cape and problem solved.

And GW1 capes were not stiff lol.

And a little clipping issues - a good old edgy black cape makes up for it.

 

Or just delete the charr race.

Please give us capes to cover all of those butt-capes.
