SE.. You have tailed races, you know?

[GrizzlyTank]

Because tailed people deserve capes too, duh. I don't wanna walk around and have my tail hidden, it deserves to see the sunshine too.

Side note: if we can put tail holes in pants, why not capes?

As a tank i would have preferred the no-cape variants that Aiming for some reason always gets...

Yeah it's pretty bad lol
Like I generally can just overlook or ignore it, but there is genuinely a TON of clipping in this game
Tails, ears, horns, even long hair all clip wildly with like. A not insignificant amount of gear.

I can see it taking more resources to fix this, sure, but like... man. When that much gear looks that bad on a not very small number of players, it's definitely... not great lol

I don't want my tail hidden either, that is why I stated that them cutting it off - which they did - is not a solution. Because having a tail through your cape would hinder movement, as well as look idiotic. Realistically, a forked cape, similar to the above healer set, shorter capes, or proper physics, would work. That or just remove the cape entirely, for tailed races.

My replies here were entirely sarcastic if that slipped past.
But hey, good luck to getting it fixed for ya'll o7

Why would anyone put a hole in their cape?

Because they have an appendage that comes out of their body where the cape is.

You have a hole in your shirt for your arm, do you not? If we were to get realistic with the capes, tailed races would have a really awkward looking bump in the back and I wouldn’t imagine having a heavy cloth perpendicular to a part of your body would be very comfortable anyway.

In a perfect world, the design team would still be designing around tails like they did for all the 1.0 armor, but it’s been evident since ARR that they have given that up and people who want to play one of those races will have to deal with it. If we didn’t have an influx of extra races and extra modeling work for them to do, then maybe they’d still be doing that. The shortcuts and compromises seemed to me to start around the time of the ARR patch content, when I assume they were gearing up for HW and the Au Ra.

But capes have been around for a long while now and tail clipping longer than that so this isn’t anything new. Telling the design team that they’re not allowed to make outfits with an iconic fantasy article of clothing in a fantasy game just because 3 of the game’s 8 races have tails isn’t realistic either.

My bad, bit drowsy after playing for so long.

They should have thought about it before they started adding tailed races, beginning with miqo'te. Whether you like Hyur or not, most players, as far as I'm aware, are playing tailed races. If they aren't going to devote the resources to either accommodate them, or otherwise remove the cape for them, then, yeah, stop making so many caped pieces. It looks unprofessional, to me. A large quantity of new pieces this expansion have capes.

You could use a fantasia and become a male Roegadyn.

[Bobby66]

I like the capes / cloak but if possible am option to hide the cape / cloak would be cool. I do not play tailed races.

[Shironeko_Narunyan]

Waiting for a mod that fixes tails. Shouldn't be a problem, it has been done before.
