Cloaks
Can we get cloaks added to the game, at least in Outfits? They would really add to the overall feel of the time periods. And, they would look cool :-)

✭✭It was asked for a few years back, if that gives you any insight to their answer.1 -
idk✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Devs have specifically stated no cloaks will be added to the game. So they have answered.
With that said they did add the Bretton Hero costume to the crown store awhile back and it kind of had a cloak. It just did not move.
So, no, we do not have and will not have cloaks.1 -

Don't be angry. Not everyone has been on the forums as much or as long as you have, so we didn't know this issue was brought up already.
In fact I had been thinking of suggesting capes/cloaks for a while too and now I don't have to, I thought it would be wonderful as a cosmetic piece with no stats attached!
Can anyone explain why they have definitively said they will not add cloaks/capes to the game? What's the official reason? Thank you.3 -

Well, if you look the OP has been on forums since April 2015, so that encompasses at least 20+ cape/ cloak threads.
Official reason? We had cloaks in alpha. They clipped, stuck to body, etc and were taken out.
If you can find on Youtube vids of the "Bretons Hero Costume" and watch those, you will see why capes/cloaks will never be in ESO. Never., It is a physics issue with the programming of the game, and before anyone says other games did it, ESO isn't other games.
Hope this helps..

✭✭✭✭✭As I posted the last time this came up here:
...and there we have it.TheShadowScout wrote: »
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we knoooow.Capes and cloaks
Capes were planned, but then they ran into... technical difficulties.
Namely, the capes they could do without lagging everyone into slowmo clipped throgh stuff and looked like crap, and when they tried to make them better to avoid the clipping, things got all too laggy on the average gaming machine... rumors say of cyrodil style lag in the common game, and "fuget playing" levels of lag in cyrodil...
So in the end they went with "If we can't do them -right- we better don't do them at all" and thus their:
...policy. (It had to be posted, right?)
Although, there is at least -one- leftover. Pay a bit of attention the next time you fight a Lich...
Personally I think it might have been doable if they just derezzed all other players capes and showed only the one for -your- character. But eh... not like its that big a deal...0 -

As in... "reach this achievement, that costume becomes available for purchase on this character all year round"...
As for the Breton Hero costume... I just wish there were more of them... Not just Breton, Nord and Altmer, but also... Dunmer Hero; Argonian Hero; Redguard Hero; Orc Hero; Khajiit Hero (Razum-dars new clothes from Summerset?), Bosmer Hero; Imperial Hero (that changes color per alliance like the alliance rider costume?)

Depends on your definition of "early stages" I guess...But there were capes in the early stages of the game.
They were -planned- and they might have been in the first preview trailers... but they were scrapped for the reasons mentioned long before "the game" was released.
Like I always say, watch a Lich next time you fight one. That one still has the leftover cloak, and it sure looks crappy, doesn't it?
And yeah, it would have been nice to have had a "back" slot, to add capes, or adventurer backpacks, or samurai-style back banners, or whatever else they might think up (like those wings that come with some crafting styles).
But... if its a choice between that and not being lagged to death... uhm... lagged even more to death...
Personally I am more vexed we don't have climb-able ladders and vines and such, but the few times they show up its fadeout-teleport style.0 -

This "Trailer" was from 2012, 2 years before the game was even released. As said it was in Alpha, but removed as they couldn't get the physics right.
Lots of stuff from Alpha and Beta didn't make it to live. Capes/ cloaks just one of them..Edited by wenchmore420b14_ESO on October 10, 2018 4:38PMDrakon Koryn~Oryndill, Rogue~Mage,- CP ~Doesn't matter any more

✭Yep. Let's all get cloaks and go to Cyrodiil.
Then we can all ride are glowey-noisey mounts with our capes flowing out behind us until our GPUs all turn into small versions of the Sun and melt through the floor like Alien's blood.
