Soo about these capes I'm seeing..
Not added because of clipping issues, which I find is a pretty stupid reason since armor clips with almost every weapon when they’re sheathed.
norn t3 heavy armor gives a cape ish look.
its actually divided into the chest and leggings but when worn together gives the impression of a cape.
only thing ive seen so far that looks like one
Well they’ve compensated for the current lack of capes with a plethora of available long coats, surcoated armors and flowing robes and such. Here’s hoping capes do make it back in somehow, but I think with the cloth physics they’re using it would look pretty bad when you’re doing activities like swimming.

Just make the cape something you can hide.. no clipping issue.
That doesn’t solve a clipping issue, it only hides it.

and i agree the water clipping could be a problem

Nope fire elemental can’t wear capes they would burst into flames.
Humm. . . . flaming capes
I don’t know for a fact, but I would bet that capes became out of the question when dodge-rolling was added.

What about long scarves?
But, but…. we can’t fly.
Granted that’s probably the ONLY thing we can’t do in this game… yet.

Every shield clips though my back ( norn ) , GS clips through my back + cape from the t3 norn armor,Hammer clips through,hell..Everything im wearing clips through my armor or my cape from the t3 set.
Idk about a cape, but I would like a way to strap my 1h sword to my back instead of my hip tbh, let pistols,focus,scepter be hip items.
While you’re at it, what about giving us leg warmers, headbands, wristbands, pen protectors, and ties?
Let’s look at another game called world of war craft that has Capes. I can tell you the many form posts I’ve seen for that game in which players complain about the clipping issues they have with they’re Capes and weapons. Of course you can hide Capes, but when you have the option to show them people only care about being able to show them without clipping. They won’t take no for an answer and will not have anything less than perfect Capes.
If clipping really is an issue, then I would suggest to arena net not to implement Capes because they are opening a surprise box full of ranting players. Even worse than now.
i want capes with guild emblems
Armor should have been better coded for that mix up with some looks awfull.
If they manage to script how the X item changes the others equips also for don’t create visual issues would be awesome. Then, yes, it would be awesome capes.
Asura thing.

lmao xD I can so see this happening now… Thanks for giving me a good laugh!
Ontopic: I’d like to see cloaks added as town clothing. No issues with clipping weapons or burrito hero’s in the middle of combat.

Back at release they said they planned to add capes at some point, but right now there were severe clipping issues, even worse than weapons. Personally I’m not too worried about it.

I want my Cape back! And better Armors for male Heavy sets. Take a few examples from Aion or just let all armors be worn by all classes! and why can we not wear outfits over our armor like in GW1. Sure was a lot easier for you guys to make money off of costumes when you let us wear those costumes over our armor! No one actually struts around in town clothes for more than the 3 mins they are in town. Need better options.
