I'd much prefer the GW1 capes, even with the clipping they had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoeliJoeli.2139 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 It feels like capes start from the upper back instead of the neck region. It bothers me for some reason. Maybe thats why AN had so much trouble implementing capes? Cause the neck region is an issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconReaper.5719 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ just wear a big shoulder piece like the houndskin mantle. that’s what i did - looks perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 If any dev reads this: **Please, give us a hooded cloak!** <3 :) It would probably be best to combine a cloak-y cape with a complementary head piece to give us two variants: one with the hood on and one with the hood off. Also different designs for either rangers or mages (that would also mean more money via the Gem Store ;) ). Something cool like this (right-click to enlarge):  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linken.6345 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I like how the cape react to the tail swing in the end of the video but other then that it dont look great on charr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can have as many copies as you want, as long as you have the transmutation charges (and if you don't you can get them free from map completion or PvP and WvW reward tracks). Oh, it looked like a new back item, I did not know it was a skin. I may buy one now. I do really like the look of the cape (wish it was a hooded cloak, but let's not get greedy ha ha). 500 for all my avatars is not so bad, then. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first saw it on charr, and thought "Yeah, more stuff that looks like trash on charr, no surprise there," but then I went to look at the cape on my human and my norn. And it looks awful on them too! It's no surprise that in the cape video, you only see the cape from the backs of the characters--if they showed a sideview, it would reveal how ridiculous they are. I'd prefer clipping over something that floats so badly. Maybe they could include a slightly visible fan unit to explain that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Disgrace.4275 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I prefer the guild cape, it's a normal size. The 1 in the gem store looks like a kings robe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackyWarsX.5384 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I feel you OP, I don't like it either. Despite the floating, it's the angle it sticks from the back of the char that puts me off. It needs to be a little less than ~30° to not look that stiff and floaty.

Danikat.8537 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I suspect this is why Anet spent years telling us capes wouldn't work with the physics in GW2. It worked in GW1 (sort of) because the physics and graphics were much more basic so it didn't matter of it looked like a sheet of card stuck to your back. But it seems like Anet are looking for some "quick wins" at the moment, or maybe all the constant requests and claims that it doesn't matter if it clips or floats or looks terrible convinced them that...Well, it wouldn't matter and players would be happy with what they could do even if it's not up to their usual standard.

They serve no purpose if they are shorter, it won't keep the weather off of you at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry.5713 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I don't like them much either but neither did I like any of the other "GW1 nostalgia items". As long as someone enjoys them. Each their own. Good move to add another slot (item type) they are able to cash-in on through selling skins, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Anet has a history of warning complainers, "Be careful what you wish for," and then hammering them. That's how we got HoT. Too many people complained that the original game was too easy or too boring or whatever. Anet said, "OK, you asked for it," and to this day HoT is still the hardest content in the game, especially for new players without mounts. Well, everyone wanted capes, Anet warned us, and now some people want to complain the capes aren't perfect. What else did they expect, really?

Tukaram.8256 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 My only issue with them is they are too short. They should be the same length as our long coats. What good is a cape that does not cover your clothes? All my capes are ankle length. But the Philippines is so freaking hot I only get to wear a cape during typhoon season ha ha :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would buy that for sure - if it was long enough. Speaking too short... even the gem store cape is too short. I will most likely still buy one, but it should be ankle length. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
