First they'd have to fix positioning and animations so that items don't come out of capes from the middle.
The correctly positioned weapons as shown on the image never happens to me. My sword is either floating like magic or go through my leg armor, and always stuck into horse when riding. I'm sure a cape would submerge with half of my shield and look completely unbearable.2 -

Or perhaps you assume it's easier than it is. [...] Just because a game does one thing doesn't mean they all can.
Please re-read the above responses. ESO had capes in Alpha and Beta. [...]
Or perhaps you all assume it's something that ZOS "can't do" because you just don't want them to. I believe they can, just like they have shown to be capable of animating more complex cloth movements on newer furnishings. Just like they have been capable of animating tassets and cloth pieces on armor for years. It's really just a matter of doing it at this point.
You haven't told us how many players are using 'celeron' CPUs with an embedded graphics chip.
What can and can't be done technically needs to consider that, unless you want to shrink your available market.1 -

I like the way those look
They look like boring wow capes. Probably got three bones, three joints, and wave awkwardly when you run.2 -

✭✭"Boring" wow capes > no capes at all.
Its a shame new world dropped the ball, their cloaks/capes are done very well for the most part."Class identity isn’t just about power or efficiency. It’s about symbolic clarity, mechanical cohesion, and a shared visual and tactical language between players." - sans-culottes2 -

Unless they can do capes right, I definitely prefer not to have capes in the game. I have absolutely no desire to have some barely animated capes like WoW has.4 -

WoW capes aren't even that bad and suit the art style of the game, haha. You can just glance at WoW and see that the body models have more bones and superior rigging for armor than ESO does, to the point that I'm starting to question how many people here have actually played it. ESO has the obvious "knee buckle" and a stiff looking hem to the robes, and with just a glance you can see that WoW capes have better rigging than ESO's that caused a hunched back then just shot straight down to the ankles.

Weapon on back clips with tails on lots of models, luckily not the shovel.UGotBenched91 wrote: »ESO can’t handle capes…..lineage 2 made in 2004 has capes.
I feel like the community just keeps making excuses for ZOS at this point.
Also, clipping at this point needs to just be accepted. Ok your cape clips, it’ll fit right in. Don’t like it don’t use it.
This one is only here to farm.
Trying to inject something between them would fail.
WOW capes was an small towel, 50x100 cm on a elf I say It did not reach your ass as then it would clip with tails.
Much smaller on an gnome.
Yes I want cloth physic in ESO, this will update the system requirement quite a bit, I can handle it last generation consoles or pc players complaining about performance would not.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -

I've played wow since closed beta, but thanks.1 -
BenTSG✭✭✭✭I've been playing this game so long without them that the thought of having them finally in the game feels very strange and bizzare to me. That's not to say I am against the idea though, I've at least one character that would certainly have use for a cape!
Do you reckon back stowed items being so far back they are floating off your character is a remnant effect from when they was planning for capes at the start?0 -

Malyore✭✭✭✭✭This isnt a Harry Potter game.UGotBenched91 wrote: »
they are
So all of the statues of characters in ESO that wear capes are just Harry Potter cameos? And the capes in TES2 were inspired by Harry Potter a year before the book was even published?2 -
RogueShade✭✭✭The original poster wanted another option for guild tabards so why not a shoulder style that can be applied at the outfit station? Some of the light shoulders especially are similar to short capes such as the Ancient Elf. It could be a free application available after you buy the tabard and give an option that doesn’t cover as much of the body.3 -

Guild sporran? A replacement for the crotch flap with the heraldry on it.1 -
