Guild Wars 2

Pretty much everyone wants capes in GW2. GW1 had capes that tie into your guild, which is what I think they should do here. Hopefully, when they decide to talk more about their new guild systems they’ll introduce a new guild ‘cape’ back piece that comes with your guilds emblem printed on it. Since they’ve already told us we were getting capes at some point, the expansion would serve as a great way to introduce capes into the game.

I don’t.

Feel free to do a google search for GW2 capes and see what the forum links say about it. “Pretty much everyone” is actually closer to some minority percentage.

Cant have capes becuse of chars and clipping.

There will always be some issues with clipping….besides guild capes were awesome. They were a great way to show off and rep ur guild and gw1 players would love the throback to gw1.

Well they are making advancements is collision detection. I’l sure if they really wanted to they could do it, but I’m guessing its like the whole “new profession on races” argument; the impact it will have on the game will be purely aesthetic. What they need to realize is half of endgame is aesthetics.

Certainly would be nice to have some actual capes instead of the goofy wings and other stupid back pieces that we keep getting via gemstore. Clipping can’t possibly be a reason against it, considering a good deal of weapons and armor already clip and they’ve done nothing about it. Most of the time, my two handed weapons clip through hoods and mantles. With my Asura Elementalist, my daggers always clip through my leg armor.

While they’re at it, maybe some more pants that aren’t butt-capes would be appropriate. So tired of having 2 choices if I don’t want to wear essentially robes, maybe some hats that don’t cut your hair off could be done too. I don’t see why it couldn’t, in any case.

Me neither, altough a backback that looks like a “side” cape (like aion ones) with guild emblem might be cool, but that’s it.

Full capes will be a clipping nightmare

I want a mantle-styled skin for light professions first, Revenant armor and Medium Krytan Armor looks so awesome but Light armor skins are almost all fugly. I wish there was an armor similar to those two…

I’m also with the ones who don’t want them (personally. They can be in game for all I care). Big capes would clip alot, small capes are plain ugly imo.

I never wore them in GW1 (other than PvP where you were forced to) so it wouldn’t bother me if they were here or not, but if they can do it without drawing people away from gameplay features, then sure – I’d prefer seeing them everywhere and not wings.

I very rarely wore my cape in GW1. I have no special desire for them here in GW2. But, if others want them….

The point is, though, not everyone wants capes.

Good luck.

NO CAPES!

I’m sure it’s “in the pipeline” but they “don’t have the resources at the moment”.

Just like all the other missing content and issues that haven’t been addressed since launch.

i don’t just want guild capes, i want capes in general.
how am i able to finish thor without a cape…..

I’d likely disable my cape, just like I do in Guild Wars.

Capes are things of the past. I already hate them in GW, i’m more than glad we don’t have any in GW2.

PS.: Seem like we are a lot who ain’t everyone

I don’t want capes either… :v

Cant have capes becuse of chars and clipping.

There are like 2 pairs of pants in the entire game that don’t have clipping on charr. Even the racial armor clips on Charr…

Same with Asura boots.

I’d bet more money it’s a technical limitation. Look at the wings that were just released. They’re horrible because they’re so stiff and cardboard looking. Capes probably would have similar issues.

The new wings are soooooooo clippings-free I really see how much of a great excuse it is!

I seriously laughed out loud. Well done.

^this
this made my day

As a long time WoW player I can say no thank you, I’ve had my fill of capes and I am grateful that they added more backpacks for jobs! That was one thing that I found about LOTRO that was superior to WoW were the backpacks for the “jobs” of that virtual society.

And also it would clip on charr. I don’t want to be running on all fours and look like I’m about to trip. I also don’t want my Charr to start scratching holes in it like it’s some sort of curtain in my living room thanks!

There is a backpack in the store which has a flag attached to it, if that is possible then it must also be possible to make a back with a cape on it, removing the clipping issues. If it will look good is up to the creationi guess but it must be possbile to make a decent cape that way.

Please no capes. It’s a health & safety issue – look what happened to Madonna at the Brit Awards.

(I am really, really sorry. But just couldn’t help myself!)

I’ll just grab this image from a way older suggestion.
I thought the Imperial outfit would have some kind of cape hanging from the floating top at the back when I first saw it datamined.

The only way I would want capes in GW2 is if they didn’t clip during raids while having duels on mounts.
