Ashantara.8731 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 @starlinvf.1358 said:largely because if they did, none of the other back items would sell anywhere near as good. That's not true. I can think of several of my characters who would look awful/silly/OOC with a cape. I would probably use it only on my Ranger and perhaps (depending on the type of cape) on my Guardian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneirikb.7506 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I can just imagine all Charr's with capes hanging through their neck and out in front like a frock. I'm guessing that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way my chars look and I like to see how they look, at least their backside. Why would I want to cover up 90% of what I see of my char? Also, since backpieces don't come with a dye slot, would the population of cape supporters pls elaborate how they would feel if all the capes were basically recolors(think: white, black, golden, rainbow wings)? How would you feel if the guild/pvp/WvW/worldboss/story cape would be color [X] when your toons look is the color [Y]? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Colision between capes and toon on some races would be tyresome to craft for the devs :\I cant imagine a cape in a charr for example :\, maybe should be on humans only, charrs could have their barbecue backpacks(like the wvw one)?

Inception.1476 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Heey guys.I was wondering if the guildcape could return too this game.like you would have in guildwars 1.I think it would look awesome and i think many more people want too have it back.I hope too hear soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 It's been requested by some since launch. If the past is any indication, it is unlikely word will be forthcoming soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chay.7852 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I doubt we will get capes in gw2 - since they didn't implement them until now even though the community is asking for them since release. I am wondering though if it is possible to bring an outfit with cape - let's call it the guild outfit - which ppl can dye and display their guild emblem on the cape just as we had it in gw1. Might be a compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasimir.6239 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If displaying your guild emblem is what you are after, there is guild armor ( light medium heavy ) that displays the emblem on the chest piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's why i suggested the outfit because those don't clipp but could still have a real gw1-style cape not some sort of flag on your back. I mean... im fine without capes - not even in gw1 did i always display my guild cape even though it was nice imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it personally as I find that huge banner pretty hideous ;) . The available guild emblem banners both use the "flag sticking out" model.Oh, and thanks for motivating me to look these up (I only had a very faint memory of a guild emblem back item skin). I just realized there's also a backpack that would go well with one of my characters (who is also using the guild chest piece), I need to go and get that one :) .

Ruufio.1496 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 You have literally everything possible that you can put on your back other than something normal. If I told you they would sell like hot cakes would you do it? Because they damn well would.Look at this picture with the golden racing scarf, it looks like a cape from a certain angle:https://imgur.com/8CIYt0HJust do it already. I want guild recognition and I haven't worn a single backpiece on any character over the course of 6 years because they're all terrible. Don't give me some nonsense about physics limitations or something - that picture is already basically a tiny cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Didn't care (or wear) them in Guild Wars, would not wear them here.But, if others want them, sobeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chyanne Waters.8719 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Well if you want to show off your guild they have guild armor and guild weapons the weapons have a sash with the guild emblem on it. Capes are not needed please leave them in the past where they belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 There's a pretty good chance that the scarf technology will be used for capes on the future, the cloth physics look nice. That said it may not be ready just yet and either way I'd prefer if the first cape was earned in game rather than a gemstore item. Maybe the next LS episode will have one.

Blocki.4931 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Different question: Where would we even equip them?Backpiece? Might be a bit lackluster compared to others.Chest piece? Some chest pieces (heavy mostly) already have some type of cape near the bottom, doubling down on them would be bad. Shoulders? Same problem as chest if pieces already have a semi-cape plus not being able to have a different shoulder piece would be bad too.A new, entirely cosmetic slot seems out of question.

Visually might take the place of back pieces. It would be lackluster compared to some, but for those of us that enjoy capes, or enjoyed, then I can see me wearing my guild cape and not worrying about my back piece showing.
