Guild Wars 2

I know they had some issues with clipping or something, but will we see them in the future? I really miss the heroic feeling i got in gw1 from the cape.

They do have a back slot, so they shouldn’t really have any trouble implementing them. And I would rather a cape for my guild rather than the silly backpack I’m trucking around with. Though I would be a little annoyed because they’d most likely clip or something when you have a two-handed sword, hammer, or shield (I’m probably missing a weapon or two) on your back and running around.

I haven’t found anything on the back slot that shows.

The guild backpacks that can be grabbed from the Guild Armorer show on the back slot. Also, I think Engineers can pick an item during character creation that is in the back slot as well.

i really woudlnt care about the clipping its not a major issue to me unless its something overkill like going straight through my character but yeah i also miss capes.. i want the norn t3 just because it has things that resemble a cape..

According to the Wiki, Anet removed capes from the release because of clipping issues, and currently the only back accessories do not show (they’re under your armor). Anet is apparently working on the cape clipping issue and will hopefully add them soon.

AWESOME! I cant wait to see if they do

I believe I saw people with capes in the short time I saw players while trying GW1, and it’d be an awesome addition to GW2. I hope it’s in the works.

How are the back items hidden? I’m currently wearing the L35 Guild Assassin Backpack.

If they re-introduce capes to the game, I hope they overhaul their appearance. That flat, square piece of cloth flapping about on my back is silly, but the hooded versions used in Aion are actually attractive. While I’m wishing, it would be cool if guilds could import their own custom images to be displayed on the cape.

I would definitely like to see capes like they had in the original Guild Wars!

Capes would be a nice touch… hope they sort them out.

Bob: “Listen E…”
Edna: “November 15th of ’58! All was well, another day saved, when… his cape snagged on a missile fin!”
Bob: “Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb…”
Edna: “Stratogale! April 23rd, ’57! Cape caught in a jet turbine!”
Bob: “E, you can’t generalize about these things…”
Enda: “Metaman, express elevator! Dynaguy, snagged on takeoff! Splashdown, sucked into a vortex!”
Enda: “No capes!”

Ya i know right? Since the game has tons of clipping in so many other places, why remove something so sweet that no one would care if it clipped.

Was about to say the same thing myself. There’s already a crapload of clipping issues with coats, armour, weapons… pretty much everything that isn’t part of your ‘nude’ form.

I miss my shiny cape.. i didnt care if my guy looked like crap as long as he had that cape he was my god. lol

+1 for capes. We need them asap.

Found this concept art. Yes please to the capes and scarves!

I imagine the charr running animation has some major clipping issues with capes.

I would love to see Capes / Cloaks!

Then they can make a different cape/animation for the charr version. Is it really that difficult? If they can make one that works with other races they can make the equivalent for charr.

I really wish people would stop saying there won’t be capes because of the charr and all this crap. It is a cop-out and letting the developers off easy. They are a talented team, and if they can make one cape they can make all different types that are required.

Never said there wouldn’t be capes. I would love capes. I’m saying that’s probably why we don’t have them yet.

Yes, this would be fun to have.

You’re right, you didn’t. But plenty of others are using the charr as a reason why we will never see capes and stating it as if its fact. I just used your post to address those others at the same time.

any news on those cloaks/capes ?

I happen to have loved the GW1 capes. xD I’d LOVE them to be added. Even if they clipped. xD
