✭✭ZO$ has already said NO CAPES, DARLING.
That message has been in umpteen threads, so you give me no choice but this:

Too funny
In LotrO capes are everywhere, and are a huge item for sales both in the AH and on the game store. It seems weird we cannot have them here but I should think the megaserver is to blame. In LotrO they were not a problem but for in PvP zergs (where lag was really bad anyway) or in a raid, where we always toggled them off.

I don't believe the "it can't be done" ... more like ZOS can't do it. There's a big difference there.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭While it would be a nice addition... it's not necessary.
I wouldn't rule out them adding it at some point as rewards as well as a cash shop item. Yes it COULD cause a lot of lag -- some games lag heavily with more clothing options --- however if they can do it right, I am sure they will. LotRO isn't as demanding.. plain and simple.
Clothing options are always great cash shop incentives.0 -

I am aware of that and I wasn't referincing LotrO to imply it was "demanding." It has an extremely old engine and separate servers. I referenced it to mean that cloaks always proved a huge source of revenue, even now. As such, it is worth ZoS finding a way to make it work -- for obvious reasons, especially now that they need to monetize.0 -

So much agreement here. Capes would be a HUGE source of revenue for them, if/when they can figure them out. Although I would like the addition of capes to go along with a "back" slot that can be taken by backpacks also, I think having them as "costumes" would be fine.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.

seanvwolf✭✭✭✭I don't believe the "it can't be done" ... more like ZOS can't do it. There's a big difference there.
Some of the guys on ESO were on DAOC. DAOC had capes. I played DAOC.
1 - Capes look dumb.
3 - Capes and bow/shield/two weapon placement will create too many artifacts that the capes won't be flowing in the back when people run (which is what people really want). Instead the bottom will flutter as the top 3/4 of the cape or cloak will be stiff in order to accommodate these weapon types.
The 2nd point is silent.
I would be comfortable with a longer shoulder piece, that would come down to about shoulder length (which is what a cape ACTUALLY should look like), but would wrap around the arms a bit and be open in the front (like a military or police cape). Those things don't flutter and it would make sense.Edited by seanvwolf on February 15, 2015 9:18AM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Still just sayin... Liches have capes. Ghosts & Wraiths have some flexy capelike duds too. Something simple like that wouldn't be too hard, it seems. The powers that be have decided against it, for the time being.0 -

Hypothetically speaking . . . if ZOS built more and better servers would that fix lag?0 -

I don't know but i doubt it because they can't get out of their own way, however the lag and fps issues started for me after they implemented the "botting" fix with 1.2...so the current gear might be okay without that fix running in the background.Edited by Jaxsun on February 15, 2015 12:02PM0 -
Deheart✭✭✭Wow, this is actually the first time I have personally seen this subject brought up for this game, but I must have missed all other posts about this considering all the 'beating the dead horse' and 'no' reactions.
I think it would be fun to have an additional clothing item like a cape, functional or not, just for the added effect for looks.
But I would rather they work on other stuff that is actually needed before this.As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.0 -

Well when I run my shotgun keeps my cape from moving! So does my bug out bag... Too much of a demand on video? Ive seen 8bit games with workable capes!"Wood Elves aren't made of wood. Sea Elves aren't made of water. M'aiq still wonders about High Elves" - M'aiq the Liar0
