We need capes

So I opened my free crown crates and got this outfit:

I couldn't help but feel nostalgic because it reminded me of a character from my childhood:

So for all the people who want to be Shredder when they grow up, we need capes. Make it happen ZoS.

(I may or may not be joking.)

    There have been numerous threads on this matter....

    The people at ZOS had originally planned to have capes... (somewhere on the internet there ought to be a clip of an very old pre-release trailer which shows one or two characters with cloaks) but then realized they would either look crappy and clip through everything, or lag so much that the game became hardly playable.
    So they made a choice... and they choose good looks and manageable lag (no, really... with capes, cyrodil would have been -waaay- worse!) thus we have a "no capes" policy in ESO. At least until we get the next big breakthrough in computer tech I guess.

    Yep. I don't think we are missing much either.

    Cloaks would be nice and since it has already been proven that the lag argument is BS....it's just something ZoS doesn't want to do.

    @Balamoor

    A website for another company doesn't prove anything. In fact the site didn't say jack about ESO.

    Even if it's something Zos could somehow implement it's probably not worth the work to decide styles to work with it. I doubt it would be a small task. So, yes, if Zos could add it it's probably not something they want to do because of all the work for adding mere capes.

    They have more important tasks to focus on like maybe someday getting Cyrodiil to work ok.

    Capes in this game engine would look incredibly terrible. I imagine something worse than Dragons Dogma's stiff cape of clippy hell only worse, and possibly floating an inch off of bodies like our shoulders and hip pads do already. If it truly was taken out just for performances sake then I would really rather not seeing that impact either. In a game with better physics and collision then I would be all for it but in ESO it would just be a hot mess.

    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    Extended version.
    And yes it would be a bit fun if client side only Khajit and Argonian would be obvious bis races in pvp as they would drop dps on enemy hard having to fold the cape around the tail :)

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    They still can't figure out how to fix the floating shoulder pieces and those ridiculous floating hip pads. No way do they possess the ability to make a cloak that won't look hideous. Look at the Breton Hero costume with its "long and flowing" coat... that is plastered to your character's legs. As is any long coat or skirted legs in the game. It looks horrible. They just don't know how to do it.

    The capes are hiding somewhere with the spears and crossbows.
