Yeah back items and weapons do this all the time.. it's something that's personally bothered me for years as it really screws up some screenshots. It's a pain toggling them on an off during perma animations like crossarms or sit.. but at least it's a little easier now that we can hide our weapons. Still no hide chest though.. lots of people wanted that one for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naxos.2503 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I'll say they simply -dont- work with everything. But that's something to be expected really. I'm rather interested with the progress they made (coloring backpacks) more than the fashion statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For screenshots, if you have first person camera enabled, zoom all the way in and out, you'll have them all visible (only for you though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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): > >  Even better, if they can swing it: DAoC had a wonderful feature. You could wear a hooded cloak and toggle whether the hood was on your head or slumped back on your shoulders. One little hotkey tap and you could don and doff the hood without it just vanishing. If they can do this, maybe they could then retroactively apply it to the heavy Luminous helm so one could have the faceplate toggle its position... /dreams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked the gw2efficiency stats. 2823 players - of the 239564 with gw2efficiency accounts have unlocked the Basic Guild Cape and just 2286 of those 239564 have unlocked the Emblazoned Cape.

I did buy the Emblazoned, and I do have a gw2efficiency account, but I don't regularly go to that account and haven't since my purchase. Would I be one of those 2823 players or does gw2efficiency not know about my purchase yet? If it doesn't, that could be a factor in the low amount of reported unlocks.

I despised the wings and--frankly--even the new-improved versions look tacky. Floaty capes=more tacky/badly designed stuff. Maybe A-net will surprise me and actually improve the capes to a decent-looking level. I guess the wings were a degree worse then these eternally floating beach towels.

ZDragon.3046 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Depends on the character design and armor and just style in general. Ive seen some people with them where they look super basic and janky and ive seen some players who make themselves look like royalty with the same cape. If you have good style you can make it work if this cape is not for you then its not for you wait for the next one. Which will prob be with episode 2 or with winters day patch and try your luck then.

This has to be next! Right? Flying capes, yes? I can fly now, yes? Regular gliding, one arm out, one arm at side, one knee bent; lean gliding, two arms out, legs straight; also a knee bent upright pose when you drop out of gliding or lean back... > > No, you're right, I think I might still be dreaming... I can't wait for the black cape that spreads out like black bat wings when you glide down on your enemies like some kind of ....dark.... knight.

Would I be one of those 2823 players or does gw2efficiency not know about my purchase yet? If it doesn't, that could be a factor in the low amount of reported unlocks. My understanding is that it tracks all gw2efficiency accounts with API keys. I think somewhere it says that all accounts are crawled every 24 hours. I could be mistaken on that, though. And I just rechecked the stats. We are up to 4051 (1.691%) for the guild cape and 3325 (1.388%) for the emblazoned cape, out of 239614 accounts.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I don't know about huge success - I haven't seen anybody else with a cape yet, but I bought the emblazoned one with gems converted from gold and I couldn't be happier. Finally some of my toons feel complete. Hopefully more capes will be forthcoming and hopefully at least some will be ingame.. Now if only Anet would release a "capes of the world" cheevo.....
