Do you want to see cloaks and capes in game?

eventide03b14a_ESO

Add both cloaks and capes.

Nobody is suggesting that anyone be forced to wear them. I personally like them. Why would anyone honestly have an objection to this? Not one single person has given a good reason why I should not be able to wear one. You don't want to? Fine that's your personal preference.

Add both cloaks and capes.

Honestly either would be good

I don't know if its possible to screw up a cloak, but I can see them making them paper thin and crap. Cloaks need to look and feel weighty and have a little bit of movement to them when you move or attack.

Seeing as how they could do it, I on't think they will, because its too much work with everything else they got going on (This is why TES modding community was the best- devs weren't needed much- and they could make stuff better and compliment the main game).

What I Want is a sashimono. Something they cant get wrong unless they are completely off the rocker lol

Add a little bit of a wind effect, the ability to put your guild logo on it and you are good to go.

That is not a better idea. How did you decide that adding a Japanese item was better than adding a western item for a game that is clearly modeled on the western fantasy genre?

You just answered your own question.

This game doesn't have to be the same as every other, why can't people just enjoy playing the game the way it is rather than spending the whole time asking for it to be changed (usually so it's just like the rest)?

What a great idea! In fact why don't we take a step further and instead of weapons we just whack each other with fish and instead of magic we just blow bubbles at each other. Adding a common element doesn't make it "like everything else".

Since we can now wear tabards and represent our guild, I would also like to see cloaks and capes that can represent either our guild,faction or whatever. Most people I know agree with me. I know there were dozens of mods for Skyrim that add cloaks to the game, and for me a character equipment isn't fully complete without a cloak, I even saw few loading screens in ESO with characters that wear cloaks, it means it's not unusual in Tamriel so I guess there is no 'lorebreaking' side to this. Now, I think cloaks should only be obtainable only by high levels in end game, since It's kind of a sign of badassnes. There should be (in my opinion) two types:
-Cloak - Long piece of clothing that covers your whole back and legs, and partially some front parts of body too, usually worn by mages etc.
-Cape - A piece of clothing that only covers a part of your back and is much shorter than a cloak, usually worn by assassins.
I also think cloaks shouldn't add any attributes and should only have cosmetic meaning.

would be cool if designed cool , but then again i dont want it covering the whole player whats the point in wearing say pants if you cant see them ? seems to *** all over the person who designed that piece of armor if you can view it

Have you actually seen cov/Dom/pact armour?
It is clearly influenced by eastern Design (samurai- or in Tamriel, Akaviri).
Had another topic debating the validity of it the other day, in which there was a consensus it is Samurai, as is some of the FG NPC armour and orcish armour, and it goes back as far as Morrowind.

So yes.

I think I'm right.

BBSooner

I have an even better idea...

I'm completely cool with them added as long as it's as the OP stipulated and that they don't have stats or are togglable. I haven't seen an MMO with capes that didn't look awkward, closest probably LotRO, imo, but I don't think ZOS would miraculously make lifelike capes.

guybrushtb16_ESO

If it were so easy to do, they most likely would have done it already.

As it stands, cloaks would tend to clip with literally everything and would require additional animations and extensive hand modelling to not look like crap, which generally is a *** to do and hence probably won't happen anytime soon. Maybe as a part of specific chest pieces, but I wouldn't expect full blown cloaks anytime soon.

I would argue that rather than sashimonos we should get standards. Standard bearers are a common medieval thing. A standard wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb the way a japanese themed sashimono would. Regardless of whether or not a few armor types are asian inspired.

Nox_Aeterna

Add cloaks only.

What now :P?

TES lore includes pretty much all these popular "warrior cultures" , so yes , samurai kind armor is also part of it.

Same goes for katanas...

How about we stop making threads about this.

Royalroacho

I think they should include ties. Business ties, bow ties, bolo ties. They could have passive traits that would enhance your class, related to the type of ties.

-Business ties-"boardroom dynamo"- players will want to wear these fashionable and functional accessories to impose their iron will and determination in the office or battlefield, and to claw their way to the top of the corporate ladder. Bonus damage to enemy players in pvp/cc time reduction

-Bow ties-"a gentleman and a scholar"-players seen wearing these ties are often members of the mages guild, or engaged in some lofty academic persuit. Bonus to magic regen/spell crit

-Bolo ties-"the crafty cowboy"- whether sneaking through an enemy camp, or picking off targets from a blind, melee minded players will want to sport these elegant yet rugged collar pieces. Bonus to melee dmg/stamina cost reduction.

When they make sashimono's, I will have nothing else to talk about.
Besides be happy that I am original and not joining the "NERF THE SUPER SKILLS" crowd...

And standard bearers are a good idea, however I want a sashimono, standards are a hand item, sashimono is not, its a back (costume) item that doesn't mutilate my armour and I could still show my guild emblem.

I think you could hitch a standard to your back. Seems like it would work like a sashimono, but more western.

Yes to capes if we can use them against the wearer during fights.

To be fair, I'd assume that any cape worn in combat would have a release such that it would detach if any significant amount of force was applied to it. Presumably all the skill would do is throw yourself off balance.

(I actually own a cloak with a catch at the throat that simply wouldn't hold up if you tried to pull me by it... that said, still think they get in the way of the cosmetics.)

Sou1defiler

OOO the rage is strong in this thread isn't it? I would hazard a guess that if they did implement cloaks and capes then they would have the same option to hide them like they do with helms. But let's not point out the obvious.. Continue to scream at your screens.

Leeloo.S

Add capes only.

It shouldn't be something we are forced to use so it shouldn't be something with armor, enchantment or traits. Why not another disguise ?

I thaught about cloaks and capes as an alternative to tabard (which are really ugly). Aion has beautiful ones (ideas to adapt of course !) :
- Custom cloak in Aion
- Cape in Aion

The ability to use a custom logo is very interesting, at least for the big guilds.

I would prefer them to be on my mount instead.

ebondeath

This is the kicker for me. I dont want capes/cloaks as an additional stat booster. If they're purely cosmetic and optional to wear, then I'm all for it. If other people want them, cool, I just don't want to be forced to wear them for the stats.

DuelWieldingCheesyPoofs

Arnt cloaks and capes the same thing? But yes, and no if they look as crappy as the tabards i mean seriously, if you look at a banner outside a town shop and compare it to the tabard texture...bloody awful, people waring them im sorry but they look rubbish

Auralia

Add both cloaks and capes.

Iam not fond of tabards, I don't like the style the guild Iam in chose. I only wear a tabard for guild events and grouping with the guild and never wear it otherwise.

I would love it if we had cloaks and capes instead, I remember they had them in eq2 and I really liked the guild cape and would wear it all the time. I'd prefer a cape over an ugly tabard.

Tabbycat

Add nothing - tabard is good enough.

As many issues as this game has already had with fps and lag, I don't think we need to add capes and cloaks to make it worse.

I can just see the forums if they added them.

Hurray, we have capes and cloaks!

Booo! Cyrodiil is unplayable because of the lag from rendering all the capes and cloaks!

In the old games like Daggerfall there were also people running around with it. And lets face it: the game is centered around a medieval fantasy setting.

Messy1

Cloaks and capes should be added. Should have an equipment slot for cloak/cape. Cloak, I guess, means that it would be heavier looking and include a hood . . . capes are lighter more decorative and no hood.

AngryNord

YES!
And also, make them "non costumes", so that you can wear them with both armour and costume (like e.g. LoTRO does it).

NadiusMaximus

It would cause massive problems for shield bearers.

Sure, if it's just cosmetic and I don't have to wear one

I don't mind cloaks and capes being added as as long as I have the option to turn them off (not see them on other players) in the user settings

What I want to see are the single-shoulder cloak/drape things like some of the mage's guild robes in skyrim had.
