I dont know HOW they'd do such a thing, I'm not a programmer and I have no idea how difficult or easy it is to add in a new gear slot. But lets pretend it's easy to do and wouldnt affect performance, I'd be all for it so long as I could easily hide them like helms and weapons when I had an outfit I didnt want a cape with.

They would have to simplify the design on the back of teh armor to reduce clipping, hence another reason not to add them ^_^

I can picture all the Miqo'te/Aura tails clipping out of the cape, no thanks.

I feel like if they were to add capes, armour would be designed with them in mind so if you were to hide them they'd look incomplete so to speak.

Huh?

Guess you didnt play 1.0 :) 1.0 you had changeable underclothes. couldnt remove them just replace them. You could craft statted versions of them. anything worn over covers them. Just like it covers underclothes now.

Mayhaps someone has a screenshot of the gear slots in 1.0 they can post? :)

Capes like this would be pretty awesome.

I really hate this gif, everytime someone mentions anything about capes or cloaks this gif comes up and it always gets more thumbs up than the question.
It makes it seem like we really don't want more options >.<

Adding Capes/cloaks would add a lot more neat glamour options to our characters IMO, especially (for example) if they are headgear items with a visor that goes over our current gear (almost like a robe)

The Arachne Bolero is a great first step in the cloak department (although it would be great if it was longer in the back)

I don't think I want any capes anytime soon.
The last time I wear a capes in NWO, the capes physic strangle me to death.

As long as they let guys wear the same thing I'm all for it! Also, Odin wears a mighty fine cape.

Or maybe, just maybe, it was meant as a facetious post. Cause it was. o.o

I don't care about capes one way or the other. If I didn't like how they looked, I wouldn't wear one.
