Add CAPES or replace them instead of Tabards

Who likes tabards? - Nobody!

I really would love to see some cape action in the game!

To spice things even further - I would add a system which would unlock new colors/emotes/decorations based upon achievements.

- Every guild would be able to design their own cape for the members to proudly wear.

- It would be more aesthetic than the *** tabard that nobody takes note to.

- It has Crown Store potention with buyable new cape decorations/emotes/colors.



This is the kind of thing I would love to see:

    No capes please, it would only contribute to lag.

    I like tabards. In fact, prefer them to capes. No troll.

    Console text chat and the other dozen game breaking things should be implemented/fixed first.

    The game's central concept of "PvP in PvP areas and be safe in safe areas" needs to stay the way it is.

    Well, you would have an option in the visuals to turn off capes just like Helmets - problem solved

    They tried before launch. Didn't work well with their engine, they couldn't get them to look right.

    That would be cool. For somebodies argument to be "It will cause lag!" is just pathetic. If it actually did cause more lag, that would even be more sad. :cry:

    a cape I would disagree I do like the tabard however I would agree with a cloak that would go around the back with a hood that can either be on or off that is tied around the chest/neck area that hangs over the back of the armor normally worn with tabard as well for nobles. that is something id like to see it would also have the symbol of the guild you are in and colors

    I guess they could add different variations of capes/cloaks - which would make sense in the Crown Store department

    I believe they would be nice only if you could customize them in color or have an option to make them as your guild colors/symbol otherwise I wouldn't even bother with them.

    I hate capes and I'd personally not wear them and target people who do in pvp. That said, they are lore friendly and should be a part of the game.

    I am anti-capes for the same reason I am anti individual blades of grass and/or hair.

    The more things moving in natural motion the more things the server has to pay attention to the more it will bog down.

    Think its bad with 100 people on screen now? Imagine with natural physics capes fluttering in the wind.

    Just sums up the attitudes of the gaming community altogether. "i do not like something so therefore frown upon those that do".

    If there is an option to toggle on and off then what is there to complain about? Stop disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing.

    And besides added cloaks (graphics) would contribute to a worse frame rate not lag (network based). There is no issue with FPS side of things on consoles only "lag" based issues and as for the PC community (where there is a vast range of comp specs) there would still be a toggle off button for those of you who seemingly still sport windows 98. Ha.

    he said "hate capes and I'd personally not wear them and target people who do in pvp. That said, they are lore friendly and should be a part of the game." he doesn't like them but they are lore friendly and should be in the game
