Why arent capes/cloaks a part of the game?

It would be pretty nice to see capes/cloaks in the game, even if its just a cosmetic thing from costumes.
Get back to me zenimax, lets see what you can cook up
PS, I want it to be one of the long ones that like goes to the floor almost. Also the ability to dye it.
TLDR; I want capes in the game.

Just shortly before reading this, quite frankly, I noticed how hair moves on female models. If they could just make capes move similarly, it would be so fine. This is the very reason why the Nord Hero costume was stripped off its cloak and Elven Hero costume off its belt stripes

Because Tabards don't sway or wave and stress the server. The day they make this game perfectly stable is the day they can properly attempt to implement capes and cloaks.Edited by UltimaJoe777 on July 17, 2016 3:52AMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

Yeah, it's really bad. And I think that if ESO wants to survive in the long term they need to fix it. Look at any average asin mmorpg. ESO lacks 50% of their features. Archage for example.“Kings of the land and the sky we are; proud gryphons.” Stalker stands, the epitome of pride.

If we wanted something identical to those games we'd just play them. It's not a bad thing when a game doesn't have another game's features.Edited by UltimaJoe777 on July 17, 2016 4:04AMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

It's not a matter of how it looks, it's a matter of how it functions. People are going to expect the capes and cloaks to actually move and not be entirely stiff.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

Araviel2✭✭✭they did capes and cloaks in age of conan, an mmo game thats is allot older then this one and that uses an engine considered inferior to ESO's Havok engine.
so i really can't se why they can't do it here.
and no it would not affect server performance as such things are handled client side.

Well, I still prefer ESO over them of course. But Archage makes me wonder why a triple AAA like ESO lacks 50% of has features. (Just to name a few: dynamic sea, ships, sea exploration, underwater exploration/combat, fishing mini-game, complex and rich housing system etc, mounted combat etc edit: capes also xD)Edited by Milvan on July 17, 2016 6:02AM“Kings of the land and the sky we are; proud gryphons.” Stalker stands, the epitome of pride.

✭✭✭Does anyone remember the ESO-Live, the one with the "Arm-Chair Discussion with Delvs"?
They covered this in that segment or the one before. Capes/Cloaks would need a slot of there own, (Like the ones in Skyrim, Oblivion mods), they prob would clip in rendering, and, yes, they would cause server issues. If anyone really wants to know why "No Capes", go look at old ESO-Live episodes, about 1 1/2 years to 2 years ago.. That is a really dead horse your beating there...lmao!

You know what other MMO has capes ? LOTRO . That game is old . I can't even wrap my head around a developer that can't do this with 100 times the resources and tools . Can't even fathom that whole episode even being taken seriously by anyone .2 -

Servers dont handle capes. Your client does.
However, they cant even anchor hip and shoulder guards correctly, can you imagine the amount of floating and clipping with capes?Edited by khele23eb17_ESO on July 17, 2016 8:42AMP2P offered you 'hell yeah!' moments. F2P offers you 'thank god its over' moments.0 -
