Guild Wars 2

I mean…wtf are those things along with pvp ones?

for the love of god why? Why if there was something good in gw1 you just delete it replacing with crap instead? Guild capes would be awesome for everything from pve/wvsw to pvp and we just have those ugly flags noone uses…

Is that really so hard? Stop “looking into it” and start with those dam little but nice fixes we’re all waiting for already…how you can possibly claim to care bout big problems if you don’t even care about simple and obvious things? And don’t say you’ve more important things to do instead after working on and implementing kittening lame skyhammer..

U will look like Superman in an aesthetic game :P
I would love some short ninja scarfs instead :P

There was an explanation to why we don’t have capes here. The reason is that animating the capes with all the complicated movements is tricky. Especially if you don’t want them to clip trough you every time you dodge for example. The other thing is armors and character models. We have very different models like charr and asura and then there are those armors that have parts sticking out of them. Heavy TA armor for example.

I have heard tho that they are working on making capes work in this game as well but unfortunately I don’t have the source for this information.

partially true, except there’s no animation necessary, it’s physics based. I believe it’s mainly due to clipping issues with the various races and armors that would make for a lot of trouble to fix so they just took easy road and deleted capes

This!

Explain what this is then.

That’s right, it’s a cape.

We don’t have to have capes that are super physics dynamic things, I wouldn’t want that anyway, I’ve played games with capes that fold and bend and fly ALL over the place and it looks straight up rediculous.

Hell just look at cloth/leather armor, especially the trench coats, it’s moving w/your character w/o being super flowy, just make capes do that, give them fixed animations on dodge rolls, turning, swinging a weapon etc, it’s easy.

There’s no good excuse for the lack of capes.

Anyone other then me think this is silly?..
Out of all the cool designs for back slot type items you want scarves and capes?

Arenanet artists must be kicking themselves in the head when they read this kind of thread “We gave you wings and jetpacks and frikken quaggans for christ’s sakes”

That’s like one of those crazy fashion designer that makes people look like walking dumpsters saying “Wait you want normal clothes?! We’re giving you clothes that makes you look like an Alien Hobo! That’s way cooler!”

Hardly the same… Art should be new and exciting, not old over-used and boring.
If scarves/capes/mittens were submitted to me as an art director I’d probably say
“What is this, BoringRealLifewars 2? You’re fired”

You sound like one of those kids in a Superhero MMO that make the most hideous ridiculous looking characters with nothing but saturated colors lol.

Personally even though I liked the capes from Gw1, I’m really happy with the banners they implemented: they really look like samurai’s banners and I love it!
Of course having the capes back would be cool, so people get to choose. But really, that’s not my priority for PvP… And I think more than the capes themselves, I miss the personalisation options we had with the capes. If we had this freedom of customisation with the banners it could be really great too!

I think the banners are a little underwhelming.

They should be raised above our heads atleast, and be visible.

Like you said, Samurai-esque.

Also like the Blademaster in WC3 =p

It’s pretty clear that the back banners were inspired by sashimono, but I too would like to see them more prominently displayed. Maybe provide a new banner that rises up behind and over the head at a higher rank, and then a double banner at an even higher rank.
