ANet have said no capes, too many clipping issues with Charr, so blame them.

No person at Arenanet has ever stated that. Stop spreading misinformation.

This was said by ANet very close to GW2 launch, as it was something we all asked for during the Beta’s. How do I know this? I was there I saw it and read it.

The reason was because the capes would clip through the charr as they ran.

But if you have proof that I’m not telling the truth, please feel free to show me.

Trying to prove that is like trying to prove innocence with no evidence for or against. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

So while your asking someone to blindly believe you, why don’t you prove that anet said no capes. Otherwise it’s just your word against his and that doesn’t go far on the internet.

I was looking for that Kodan in Edge of the Mists who wields a cape. I couldn’t find him… Still waiting for a Dev to make an official answer about this!

I dunno why you guys want to argue the point. People who were around during BETA remember ANet being discouraging about capes; people who weren’t there aren’t likely to believe that without seeing it in print.

Further, whatever ANet said 4 years ago might not apply anymore — we just don’t know enough about how they design artwork today compared to yesterday.

So, personally, I think it’s a hopeless case. I’m sure cape fans will want to keep raising the issue every six months and we’ll just have the same no-conclusion discussion again. It might not impact GW2, but it probably would affect GW3 (if there ever is one).

Yeah, I would like capes. I never use back items in this game, because they are all terrible.

Yeah, and I am still waiting for a dev to take notice of this and let us hear something about whether they might add capes or totally won’t do it at all.

I remember them saying that and bring kinda disappointed back then about it.

Can we get two handed axes before capes cuz that spin to win is life. Ty

I actually dreamt about having a cape in GW2 last night… still waiting for a Dev reply on this.

I would love to see capes back and I don’t care if there is clipping personally, I’d still use one, assuming I can have my guild emblem on it.

IKR, they are all horrible, not a single one is worth displaying.

How about they just make that skin a hammer skin?

I’d like capes too! Even as a charr player… what they could do is try to have the cape lay over the back of the armor (Though clipping could be a problem there, unless they have some way to dynamically adjust the cape’s contours), with physics only applying after clearing the shoulders. And probably split around the tail.

Capes would fit well as the WvW Legendary Backpack item. Fractals has one and PvP has one too.. so now Wvw?

It would be good because it fits WvW and the whole ‘’Guild Cape’’ idea; also it would finally be something different than all those wings we see out there.

Please Anet, just consider this; and give us a reply maybe? <3

While I think that capes in general are cool, it would be a lot of work to make them not clip with everything else. I don’t care enough about them to ask the devs to put that much work into them. I’d rather have more armor sets – especially the ones we’ve been asking for with no skirts!

Anyone else find it funny they’re called the White Mantle but there are currently no cloaks in Tyria?

So basically they should just be called the White…

Yeah, I’m not sure but I think I saw Caudecus wearing a cape actually. Have to see it again ^^
