Play a charr, you see nothing BUT clipping issues.
play a human with long hair with a shield, you see nothing BUT clipping issues when weapons are stowed
Play an asura, HELLO clipping
So this whole excuse about clipping is complete and utter hoggswash
I would expect clipping to be a minor issue with this.
A couple of the other things to consider.
- need to hide pretty much all the 2h weapons
- alternatively the capes have to be modeled for every 2h weapon or the capes “know” how to automatically wrap around them
- realistic fabric animations tends to be a performance hog afaik, multiplied by potentially 100+ will turn the game into a slide show
- might look very silly underwater …
I wouldn’t hold my breath on it seriously, every time someone asked about a Guild vs Guild mode, Guild Halls or Guild Capes, the answer is the equivalent to artistic skating on a 45 degree slope.
Been asked before. Probably not due to the clipping issues.
Right that makes sense. Lord knows we wouldn’t want there to be any clipping issues.
Only repeating what has been said in the many, many other threads on the same subject, and on the wiki. If you don’t like the answer, well I don’t know what else to tell you. Go complain to the devs but don’t expect any other answer.
BTW, how would you handle the clipping with all the other back items? should they all just be removed and replaced with capes?, Toggled? What would you suggest?
IMHO, I would much rather see capes, but capes are not compatible with the current back item models so something would have to go.

clipping issues? We have loads of those. One more couldnt hurt if it gave people what they wanted.
All I can say is go tell it to the devs. That has been the reason given.
As I said in my other post, what suggestions do you have for other back items? remove them, toggle them off? It’s easy to say do it, but how about making a suggestion on how they are suppose to do it instead?

Well I’d say those capes are backitems aswell. So you either have a cape or a quiver, book, …

They would have to make them work on every armor in the game, on every race in the game. Their engine is ancient (or at least performs like it)by gaming standards and would just “NOPE!” into BSOD if they tried to do full cloth sim to make it work. That leaves animating flowing cloth for the mentioned armors and races. You may not care but we both know that if they did it that way the forums would be nothing but
OMG FIX CPAE CLIPPING!!1!
Why is my guild logo obscured by my armor?
OMG another item that looks liek crap on charr!!
Anet doesn’t want that and most us probably wouldn’t want to deal with it.
Good idea in theory. Let’s hope they let it get fully dressed before rushing it out the door with its pants around its ankles to sell some gems or make a 2 week deadline.
Cloaks,capes,big drape of cloth, same kitten different wrapping :P Though it always surprises me that when people say capes,they automatically think that it has to cover the whole back…
There is short capes,medium capes and long capes,all in different shapes and sizes.
In addition to capes,why not some awesome cape like scarfs? that goes around your neck and hangs down your back for example ?

Capes would be awesome. I would expect several types of cape shape, size, trim, color, and all that jazz. A physics control option would be nice too, the option to set your cap to blow like a bag in the wind or be like a heavy carpet. Have most available with guild commendations as well as some cool prestige ones for gems.
It could be profitable……

The problem with capes is that they cover so much. Everyone just becomes a walking guild advertisement….
Yes, it does. And we loved it that way in GW1. Capes became a trademark for guilds. Something to be recognized by. A unique cape design comes a long way in terms of recognition and influence.
Added one of my own screenshots for nostalgia’s sake.
For me, capes are a must have in a game like GW2….
I really don’t get it why they didn’t implement it already…
Because of the charr? Hey…. If they don’t want to use them, then they shouldn’t… There is no reason that everyone else have to suffer for it!
Capes were always part of the human culture so if you say Charr doesn’t wear them because of their heritage or whatever , you also have to explain why the other races don’t wear them….

Funny thing is I have walked down many streets in many countries and have yet to see capes on anyone but a guy dressed up in a flag returning bottles he collected.

Thats one of the things that killed the game for me, some stuff on this game is way to much random, and yes capes are a must or even something similiar easy to code.
Q: notice the scrool offhand, that if players jump the paper becomes elastic and stretch alot, is this one of the reasons why capes are hard to code here?
1st April joke, when gw2 receives a “balance” update.
Hahaha, this is sad. Really. Nobody complained about having capes in Guild Wars 1, which were a pretty amazing way to show pride in your Guild.
The fact that they weren’t included is a shame.
I feel, as if the people saying no are new to the series? I don’t know. But it is a shame and I’d love them back too. I’d definitely pay gems to have access! Take my money A-net!
I think the only reason why there aren’t any capes ingame yet is because they have to create a system wich allows you to color your back item. I would rage terribly if capes would be in a fixed color …

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
Maybe a majority of players want capes. But maybe most people are actually glad capes aren’t in the game. Stop assuming you voice the opinion of the majority without finding out if that’s true. I, for one, hate capes, they make characters look like cheesy super heroes. Besides, the amount of clipping in the current armour is already beyond funny without capes.
I do not in any way believe I am the voice of the community though I know that a lot of us from the previous GW game would love to see capes make it into GW2,in all kinds of different shapes, sizes and colors! Put them up on the gem store and I will gladly pay for it as I assume others will as well.
And for those of you who don’t want capes in the game,what if I told you that if they added capes in the game you wouldn’t HAVE to get one?
