Will They Ever Release A Cape?
Seriously how could they not have one of the most known back wear lol?
Waiting a long time for this too… I don’t show my backpiece because i’m waiting my long cape since the start of the game ;(
I remember reading a while ago that they wanted to, but there were some technical issues.

They won’t release a cape until they can do it right for the hunchbacked Charr (and the Tengu who would share their skeleton ).
There’s also the tiny detail (literally) that a cape on an Asura would be a postage stamp.
I wonder what your basis for comparison is…”

The problem is clipping. They’ve wanted to introduce capes but they need to work around all the clipping problems (Where the model partially intersects with the character/gear models). And yes, that is a tricky problem to fix without massive overhauls.
Pretend I posted a “No Capes!” Incredibles meme here.
They have had a few norn female hair styles with the same issue that keeps capes out of the game since launch.
They have had hair styles for norns that do not have this issue, and in fact one specifically that both norns and humans share, the human hair doesnt have the clipping issue.
Somehow on the working versions of the long hairs they bound the hair to be “attached” to some point in space relative to the body frame of the character model. They can do that for hair, they can do it for a cape… but fix my norn hair first since its already in.
