Dahkeus.8243 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'm really happy to see these added. I know there was a lot of concern about the ability to make a cape with perfect physics that fit all character/armor shapes perfectly (and some of that grievance has already been shown by some people in the community), but I'm still glad that ANet went forward with adding these despite those hinderances. Adding these in as something purchasable with guild commendations was also a classy move. Big props for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I really like the guild-cape, it is only 10 gold and 10 Guild Commendations (obtainable from Guild Missions). The capes can be dyed (border and center) and you can literally pick from plenty of cool symbols & backgrounds which can be dyed separately. You can just purchase a cape from the vendor and make an own guild for 1 gold at any Guild Registrar or just pick an empty guild-slot in your guild-panel (g) and create a new one. Emblem is instantly unlocked. If you are however part of a guild with 100 % representation requirement, you are bound to their symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes it looks like a far lesser version of the gem store one as expected.... :/ I took a look at it, it's literally a bib. They shared a trailer of the BLC cape on YouTube and people called them out on the obvious quality difference between the paid and earnable cape. My page refreshed for whatever reason and suddenly "Comments are turned off" lmao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coso.9173 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Also, how are the physics of them? Do they move correctly when walking running jumping? Do they react in windy zones like the last map? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Personally, I am disappointed in this addition because I would rather the resources have been spent on actual content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenom.9457 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I never was too upset about the lack of them but now, having them in game, I want them! Also a good move for them to make certain that there’s one acquirable outside the gemstore immediately at the launch of this feature to reassure players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is new content. We can have both. Sure, sure. What about PvP or WvW? Have they received any new content recently? I'm not trying to kitten on anyone's cape-party.

Surprisingly i dont like all my characters being shiny and sparkly so i might have use for that. There is Sytle in junk sometimes if you dont always want to look like a glowing sparkler.

Teratus.2859 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I really like the new cape, goes so well with my character but unfortunately my primary colour, Sandshark dye goes from being bright blue on my armour to deep dark blue on the cape. The pattern on the cape matches the pattern on my armour too so if they were the same colour it would be a perfect match. I've cycled through every variant of light blue in the dye list, locked and unlocked but nothing gives the same colour.. Core Ice comes close but it changes quite a lot in the lighting. This is what the cape looks like in Sandshark.. while my armour is significantly lighter despite being the same dye.. they are as different as electro blue and midnight blue lol ![](https://i.imgur.com/mFWX35K.jpg "") ![](https://i.imgur.com/U2gVU7G.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randulf.7614 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 It's a side effect of things being a different base material" - it causes dyes to look different on different types of items Incidentally, is that a bow on your back? If so, what is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I really hope capes are added to various content like raids, strikes, WvW, PvP etc they're a great cosmetic reward item to show off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goku Black.6819 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hey all. I am trying to purchase the new awesome cape but it says I need to have Heart of Thornes, which I do have and have completed the story. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

If so, what is it? It is yes, it's the Golden Talon Longbow. Black Lion chest exclusive skin, not sure if you can buy it for statuettes but it'll come back around again at some point i'm sure and you can try to get it ^^ Save up your keys if you can. ![](https://i.imgur.com/O30Xw0w.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffawer.4932 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Oh superb.... it took them 7 years and now they've decided to stick it in that fking gemmie-store for 500g... a single cape style. Seriously? And there are people who are praising them for it. And of course the Guild cape is ugly af. No way to obtain unique capes through game-play, crafting, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
