I need a Cape, BAD!

Dear ZOS of ZOS’s:

I just figured it all out. The single, SIGNAL thing I need to improve the quality of my ESO life good and bright is a cape for my character.

I promise not to whine and complain about nothing much, MUCH, if you give it to me, so long as you don’t nerf wings. (Though, you can nerf Sorc and stuff. NO PROBLEMO).

Remember CAPE as in something you wear and not a new coastal, dreamy seascape dlc or dungeon or nothing.

Thanks in advance!

As ever, your pal

Jumpy!

:)

    Then play a game with capes. Zos has clearly said no. Sorry.

    Every time this has ever come up with a ZOS developer they've said no, so I wouldn't hold your breath for them.

    Many reasons to implement capes:

    They put them in Skyrim. They got all those crappy things on your hips attached to your CHEST! They got those fugly talbards.

    It might be time to revisit the idea of a special crown store cape sale!

    ZOS ol’ buddy dearest o’ mine, ya like MONEY doncha!

    They did have capes in alpha but took them out.
    Wanna know why ESO has no capes, go look up the Breton Hero and see how horrible it looked.
    Also do a forum search and read the other 1,000 post's on capes and why it is good we dont have them...

    Obvi, not a directly-representitive metaphorical happenstance, since there's no crying in baseba-- I mean, no flying in ESO, but the sentimental aspectitorial message is the same.

    ...this thread came -one- day too late for its true purpose...
    :p;):lol:

    Also, search is your friend! This horse has been beaten into gore-y paste already, and the fact remains that ZOS tried to do capes, back in initial game development, and realized they can either make capes that look very, very bad (check out a Lich next time you fight one!), or they can have triple the lag. And decided on the third option...

    The problem with capes are that either they use cloth physic or they look horrible, cloth physic on hundred players at once in an huge fight in Cyrodil would not be fun, note that this wil be on top of the existing load.
    You also have clipping issues with all the various armor, weapons on back and tails.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    it's just not going to happen my friend. ZOS have said in the past they have no plans for capes/cloaks

    i certainly wouldn't mind more accessory options to customise our characters, but it's clear at this point capes aren't happening

    This. iirc, the devs have specifically stated performance issues. ESO is more detailed, has much more going on, than most MMORPGs to begin with.

    Zos should add capes but make it so it gets inaccessible/disbaled in cyrodill and battlegrounds.
