Cloaks do not Stick to your Legs and Move with them.

Mashille

The new Breton Hero Costume...

It's really disappointing. From the back it makes your character look really wide.

And the Cloak... Ffs. When running with a Cloak on the Cloak should fly backwards. Currently the Cloak on the Breton Hero Costume, sticks to the back of your legs and moves with them, making it look much more like a Robe than a cloak.

Don't say it's because it's an MMO and you can't have anything flying backwards because you can, it didn't need to have physics, just a change of position when you run forwards to make it look like it's trailing backwards.

When running it looks really bad from the back and sides. It looks good from the front, but I don't think anyone plays with their camera facing backwards.

Real Shame. I was looking forward to that Costume.

I run with cloaks IRL.

On a windy day the cloak might "fly backwards" if you run really fast.
I think what you're reffering to is a cape.

They've managed to do it with hair (my Imperial has the braided ponytail and it bounces/trails behind her when she's running, then settles back when she stops), so it shouldn't be too difficult to replicate that with the cloak part of the mesh. That's pretty disappointing. I was really looking forward to this one, too, as I'm sure many others were. Especially a shame since it came out much later which gave me hope they were trying to make it super special. \:

@Hyssia

I don't mean fly back majorly. Look at how the cloak looks when running. It really does look terrible. Because it does not move at all, just stays a few inches away from your legs as you move forwards. I don't think half of a Cloak move individually with each leg.

In addition, no matter what it is, Cloak, Cape. It's the thing from the Cinematic trailer which Does move backwards when the Breton Hero moves.

Strider_Roshin

Would you mind posting a screen shot of this? I'm at work.

Mashille

@Strider_Roshin
Here are the Screen Shots.



Notice how the cloak / cape sticks to the knee of the character following it when moving, when it should be trailing back instead.



Here is it Standing still, looks 'Eh'



Here it is when moving from the back, again, the cloak moves with the legs.



And again.

Mashille

Look. On the cinematic. The cloak trails backwards.

I'm sorry zos, but this makes me want to puke.

Mashille

Look at how it curls underneath you too when crouching... Eugh.

OdinForge

ZOS.

The cloak/jacket is probably my only complaint for this costume. Its otherwise visually a lot better than the Altmer costume.

Mashille

@Korah_Eaglecry

Yeah, from the front. I think it looks good. But the cloak is so appallingly lazily done it kills the entire costume.

Abeille

Taking by what was already in the game, I didn't expect anything different. That's exactly like the Treethane Ceremonial Dress works, although it looks even worse on that one's case because it is longer than the Breton Hero's cloak.

Universe

That's not the only issue with the breton hero costume.
The one handed weapons are penetrating the cloak in such a way like they cut through it(while sheathed).
It is extremely ugly.
@ZOS_GinaBruno Please fix it.

Nestor

And this is why we don't have Capes in the game, because even the Cloaks don't look right. The Devs have been telling us they would look like a board strapped to our backs for years now. This is proof of what they have been telling us all along.

In some ways I am glad this is this way, as we can now just point people to this costume as to why we won't ever get capes in the game.

Lol... this looks so bad. I feel sorry for whoever bought this costume. You should ask for a refund. But I'm baffled as to how this was even approved from a creative standpoint. I mean... Look at it!? Haha.

It's so bad that it's funny.

Well that's disappointing. The design of the cape looks better in the original pic too. I like the torn look.

Rohamad_Ali

The level of Derp in this costume is exceeding my expectations .

Mashille

@Nestor

I really want them to add an option to the costume to just turn the cloak off now

It would look good without it.

PurifedBladez

Wow..

They did a horrible job. Like what? I'm just trying to understand how something with this quality of work gets released for 2000 crowns.

How did this piece of *** even get okay'd?

Rohamad_Ali

Who designed this crappy game engine that can't handle clothing textures ? There's app games for iPad mini that have cloak animation . This is so stupid it's hilarious at this point .

Mashille

I mean, did they actually look and move around with the costume before they decided to release it?

They should see within the first minute of using it that something about it needs to be changed.

PurifedBladez

The audacity.

If I had to guess, the artist and the person who handles character models probably did, but a higher-up decided that it was more important to push it than give them time to fix it. I try to assume the best of content creators and blame management/marketing instead because I really hope their designers care about integrity. I hate turning in half-finished or half-***ed work. And in the end, people will still buy it because it's limited.

At this point the cynic in me is thinking they want to see how much they can get away with. It's sad, because I can see the love and care that went into so many parts of this game. The monetization is getting to disappointing levels. I hope the direction they're going changes.

Van_0S

You know! That ZOS are enable to fix their own game but they are trying.
The devs that could fix this game are no longer in that company. Thus, we have the same dev doing a poor job in balancing classes( *cough* Wrobel *cough*).

Hence, demanding ZOS to fix costume is to much for them to handle, atm. So, be patient and don't subscribe.

Mashille

Also, to be honest, the texture quality is really low. Compare it to some of the other amours and costumes around it's kinda 'Low Res'

Compare the 'Brilliance Robe' Texture Quality:



And the 'Daggerfall Covenant Heavy Armour' Texture Quality:




With the 'Breton Hero Costume' Texture Quality, it looks much worse with more obvious pixels looking rather low in texture quality when compared to others.

Then why are they showing off an armor with a cape on the trailer? Or worse bringing the armor in game but its cape defies physics

Sporvan

Who QA'd this is what I'd like to know? I mean this is completely inferior in terms of quality compared to the recent costumes we've had.... all for a premium price?!

Totally crazy.

Rohamad_Ali

If people would stop buying these high priced costumes and save their money for something that looks great at a reasonable cost , the marketing department would get a clue . As long as people throw money at the screen just to have something right away , this reckless behavior will continue . I wait until I can preview free in test center before buying anything or wait for Elloa to post a video .
