There is a problem with people dueling and getting wrapped up in their capes, causing them to lose the fight.

Thats why we first need horses that can wear those capes and duel each other in the open world. Horses have much longer legs, and so they don’t stumble over those capes all
the time ^^

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.

They tried that. There was however an unfortunate incident involving a horse wearing a cape and the Charr cattlepult that resulted in several fatalities. Lawsuits followed and this feature was removed.

I think by now, all horses have been beaten to death anyways.

That’s just cruel. Horses should only be beaten after they’re dead.

I was so shocked by his post that to get that image out of my mind I logged into the game and stabbed 25 wargs with my sword and shot bolts of killing energy at 12 hyenas and 7 wind riders.

I feel much more tranquil now.

We already wiped them out. Haven’t you noticed? Go into any norn settlement or leatherwork area and you can find their hides, but there are no giraffe to be seen anywhere!

There are however other animals in the game. Dogs, cows, deer, etc.. I see no reason why capes couldn’t be brought into the game so they can wear them. This would be a really good fashion accessory for Ranger pets.

Asuras are boycotting capes, because they refuse to pay same price for capes like Norns and Charrs while their capes are 5 times smaller.

How about we leave asura capes as long as the others and they just trail on the floot behind them?
Then, if somebody steps on it, it causes a knockdown on the Asura.

The Devs added capes for Asura, and the Asura used techno-magical energy to elevate them so they could ride them. All the other races wanted to ride the capes as well, so, even though it was out of character, the Asura acquiesced, and used their magi-technology for all capes.

You can purchase yours in the Gem Store under the item name, ‘Magic Carpet’. =P
