Capes are really in GW 2!!!
For those wondering: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/wrap-yourself-in-an-emblazoned-cape/
Oh what a surprise, they're selling capes on the BLC store.

That doesn't mean we will never see them ingame normally. Also guild cape is available ingame. Still a very nice addition regardless.
Still not something I'm interested in, but I'm glad they found a way to do it for those who do want it.

ah..i got so excited..and then the gem store...
I was hoping so much it was guild capes..haven't had my spirit shot down like that since I heard there was no expansion coming.
From what I heard, the guild cape is like a bib.
Cool. I’ll have a look later and see if it suits any of my toons
What sleep is here? What dreams there are in the unctuous coiling of the snakes mortal shuffling. weapon in my hand. My hand the arcing deathblow at the end of all things. The horror. The horror. I embrace it. . .
This is perfect we don't have to gamble with black lion chests, we can buy directly!
I bought mine and has 4 dye channels! It looks amazing!
At least the "CAPESNAOPLOX!!!!!!!!"-threads can end now....
Why bother, just delete the official Forum.
And the “MOARCAPESNAOPLOX!!!!!!!’” will begin...
...I am too shocked to properly formulate speech. The world is topsy-turvy. WHAT IS HAPPENING!
If it's a backpiece, how do we dye it? Is it considered shoulders?
No, it's not shoulders, or at least not in the preview, because I've still got my shoulder armor on.
Some decent qol features this week. The ele ooc weapon swap is one I’ve asked for for years.

I figured that myself while typing...
also "Why no cape for [enter your personal favorite content/story/race/region/whatever] ANet? U crazy?!?!?!?!?!?!?"-Threads and "Why can't we dye backpieces"-threads.
Why bother, just delete the official Forum.
...So, not only CAPES, but DYEABLE backpieces too? WHAT IS HAPPENING!
I saw someone link a cape called "Basic Guild Cape". And yes it looks like a far lesser version of the gem store one as expected....
I never expected it to happen but I'm really excited about weapon swap on ele and engi (because apparently the one thing I wanted for those two professions is more buttons).
The fact that it's come now, not long after equipment templates, makes me wonder if I wasn't being as creative as I thought by using the second equipment template to put my ele and engi's second weapon set into. Maybe a lot of people did exactly the same thing and Anet realised it's a feature a lot of people want?

It is likely just a natural thing to add with template keybinds already doing the exact same thing. There was no reason not to do it and it saves a template space

Wow love it! Doesn't fit my characters but instantly adds more depth to any armor or outfit system 😍
A friend sent me some screenshots of her character with it and I gotta say it looks really cool. Digging this, especially since this allows me to move away from the bulky backpieces I've been using lol
Really? Can I dye my golden wings?
can get from the guild trader for commendations too so there is a free option that said i dont know what that one looks like....
I don't think they retroactively went and changed all backpieces, but I'd expect this to be a feature going forward.
hahaha... you guys made my day.
I'm really happy to see these added. I know there was a lot of concern about the ability to make a cape with perfect physics that fit all character/armor shapes perfectly (and some of that grievance has already been shown by some people in the community), but I'm still glad that ANet went forward with adding these despite those hinderances.
Adding these in as something purchasable with guild commendations was also a classy move. Big props for that.
I really like the guild-cape, it is only 10 gold and 10 Guild Commendations (obtainable from Guild Missions). The capes can be dyed (border and center) and you can literally pick from plenty of cool symbols & backgrounds which can be dyed separately. You can just purchase a cape from the vendor and make an own guild for 1 gold at any Guild Registrar or just pick an empty guild-slot in your guild-panel (g) and create a new one. Emblem is instantly unlocked. If you are however part of a guild with 100 % representation requirement, you are bound to their symbol.
Like a rag used for cleaning dust.

Are you an arena net employee?
I took a look at it, it's literally a bib.
They shared a trailer of the BLC cape on YouTube and people called them out on the obvious quality difference between the paid and earnable cape. My page refreshed for whatever reason and suddenly "Comments are turned off" lmao.
So now the only thing missing is cantha?
Also, how are the physics of them? Do they move correctly when walking running jumping? Do they react in windy zones like the last map?
Personally, I am disappointed in this addition because I would rather the resources have been spent on actual content.
I am a very casual player.
Very.
Casual.
Now I can finally be amused at how ridiculous Cape wearers will look.

Your skin will wrinkle and your youth will fade but your soul is endless
I never was too upset about the lack of them but now, having them in game, I want them! Also a good move for them to make certain that there’s one acquirable outside the gemstore immediately at the launch of this feature to reassure players
I'd rather keep going.. wherever the wind takes us
We literally just had a new ls episode like a week ago though. That is new content. We can have both.
Sure, sure. What about PvP or WvW? Have they received any new content recently? I'm not trying to kitten on anyone's cape-party. I just expressed my personal opinion.

Surprisingly i dont like all my characters being shiny and sparkly so i might have use for that. There is Sytle in junk sometimes if you dont always want to look like a glowing sparkler.
No but I'd love to be one LOL! I love GW 2 so much!
All the recent QoL updates have been so good. Especially the build templates.
I really like the new cape, goes so well with my character but unfortunately my primary colour, Sandshark dye goes from being bright blue on my armour to deep dark blue on the cape.
The pattern on the cape matches the pattern on my armour too so if they were the same colour it would be a perfect match.
I've cycled through every variant of light blue in the dye list, locked and unlocked but nothing gives the same colour.. Core Ice comes close but it changes quite a lot in the lighting.
This is what the cape looks like in Sandshark.. while my armour is significantly lighter despite being the same dye.. they are as different as electro blue and midnight blue lol
Sadly, no.
It's a side effect of things being a different base material" - it causes dyes to look different on different types of items
Incidentally, is that a bow on your back? If so, what is it?
What sleep is here? What dreams there are in the unctuous coiling of the snakes mortal shuffling. weapon in my hand. My hand the arcing deathblow at the end of all things. The horror. The horror. I embrace it. . .
I really hope capes are added to various content like raids, strikes, WvW, PvP etc they're a great cosmetic reward item to show off.
Hey all.
I am trying to purchase the new awesome cape but it says I need to have Heart of Thornes, which I do have and have completed the story.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance!
That's disappointing considering the cape's texture matches the same fabric texture on my armour.. might be hard to see in the pictures.
It is yes, it's the Golden Talon Longbow.
Black Lion chest exclusive skin, not sure if you can buy it for statuettes but it'll come back around again at some point i'm sure and you can try to get it ^^
Save up your keys if you can.
You can contact the CS Team via the 'Support' link above/below and 'Submit a Ticket' for assistance.
Good luck.
That's really odd, wonder why you'd need HoT for a cape :S
Oh superb.... it took them 7 years and now they've decided to stick it in that kitten gemmie-store for 500g... a single cape style. Seriously? And there are people who are praising them for it. And of course the Guild cape is ugly af. No way to obtain unique capes through game-play, crafting, etc.
And it looks super bad. Who would have guessed.... milk 'dem gemmies Anet go go !
But there’s the same hope that Anet will make them obtainable outside the gem store just like mount skins and glider skins.
