Guild Wars 2

Hey there!

Ok, I am well aware of the clipping issues with capes and weapons but here’s my idea: why not make it a togglable option like helmets and shoulder piece armor? When it’s enabled, your weapons on your back won’t be displayed (but 1handed weapons like sword or scepter will be) and but your cape will so it will eliminate most of the clipping problems! And if you don’t want to show your cape, you just uncheck the box and your 2handed weapons will be displayed.

Love this idea. I used to make fun of other guilds that would advertise their capes in messages…. now I miss mine I was very awesome to have 10 members standing together in LA. Great for promoting the guild and fashionable as well

Guild capes are a lot better than armor emblems. They are more visible and they look awesome. I think with my suggestion we could fix most of the problems, but there are still some more (ex: when dodging, water, make it work on all races…). Hope someone will come across this thread and note my idea.

How many have you actually seen with guild armor. Exactly. Almost no one has it. Sorry but they missed the boat on this big time. Time to make something where you can still have your cool exotic armor and still show your affiliation with your guild.

Return the capes.

I don’t remember where I read it so I can’t link a source, but the devs have said that they did away with capes because they couldn’t make them look good on Charr characters. Personally, I also can’t see them looking good on Norn — a Norn with a cape is just not the right mental image.

So — weapons, shields, armor with emblems. I really love the idea of the armor emblem, I’m just not crazy about the way that the guild armor looks before the emblem is applied.

And guild armor isnt the best stats. If anything they should make ALL armor be able to display emblems in certain areas and make that be able to be turned on or off.

I thought they made a game for players…not for them? If someone wants a cape on his norn or charr character and think it looks cool, that’s his choice, his opinion because for example, a warrior asura is just NOT the right mental image for ME.

I personally don’t like that you cannot have the emblem on your good rare armor, or need to always use transmutation stones on it. Just a bad idea. I think you should be able to have the guild emblem on any armor. Should of had a spot on each armor/weapon to be able to have your emblem.

Ha! Right… Watch the forums explode if there are capes for humans and not for Charr.

Unless they can come up with a good looking cape for all of the races they’re not likely to put one in the game no matter how many suggestion threads pop up. I was just repeating the reasons that I have seen that they don’t already exist.

Highly doubt it’s a cosmetic issue. Probably an implementation issue. If they did really say that I would like to see a quote. But I don’t see why—given that the game already offers so many exclusive things per race, class, and order—that they’d not implement a cosmetic feature due to it’s inability to work for other races. Also, I cannot imagine why a cape wouldn’t look good on norns and charrs. But I can understand how much harder it would be to program capes for charrs given their figures.

All armor should have a shoulder emblem. Then you can choose to either show it or not.

For charr capes, I thought about this

Look at the one on the center. Looks pretty kitten on a charr (or even norn). Charr already have a custom running animation so I can’t see why they shouldn’t have their custom capes.

I also thought about some kind of Guild banners ( think of it as warrior baanners but with your guild logo on it).

BTW, just found out that Norn Heavy cultural armor lvl 3 has almost full cape!!

Look at the end of the video!

So now, I don’t see why capes aren’t implemented in the game
