Capes

Hi all
I thought about this and how awesome would it be if the developers introduced Capes for our avatars . Just Imagine my own little Batman with wicked armor and a Cape to round it off.

    It was already stated that capes won't be added. There was another topic about this few days ago.

    Personally I'd like them, however it's nothing really important.

    PS: They'd be graphically intensive because the game would have to calculate everytime the Cape / Cloak moves. Nobody wants static Capes / Cloaks lol.

    As stated above, this was just addressed in another thread. Capes would be too graphics intensive, causing more bandwidth issues we don't need.

    The poor Khajiits and Argonians do not like their tails being clip by caps / cloaks either! So "NO!". we do not want them!

    Capes would be like buying a F1 car to drive to work. It would be a waste of performance and completly impracticle. Have you ever tried sword fighting with a cape?

    Yes, I have. In fact the last time I tried it the Legend Of Zorro was born.

    Ok, I'll imagine it, provided I can also imagine your character jumping off a high rock/wall at a mob, and getting stuck on a nearby tree :sunglasses:

    That thread wasn't answered by ZOS. Graphics are on the user end, so the bandwidth claim is false. They can achieve layering without clipping if they used it under the costume slot.

    That was just the recent thread.

    They have stated previously that they have no plans to introduce capes.

    And, no they can't... clipping of capes is a problem for just about any mmo... so they just decided to not deal with it. I can respect that.

    What @Robocles‌ said.

    Also yes some MMOs might have cloak/capes, but they are purely static and don't feel like a cloak at all.

    I've mentioned it since May, I don't ever recall seeing ZOS take a stance on it.

    ....and being used as a Piňata.

    Remember all of those people complaining about lag in Cyrodiil? That's without capes, now imagine the same situation with the additional computation required because of "capes".

    I think it would be a good idea for them to just buy a plug-in. I mean it HAS to be cheaper than coding it from scratch in-house.

    It's what RIFT did.
