A request for Capes & Cloaks

[Zenaku]

Capes will look like crap, period. That's not my personal opinion, that's just a fact, adding capes that look good is a load on processor which is why i said only a couple single-player games can pull it off, no nobody should be allowed to wear a carboard triangle on their back as a representation of the game, this is not an opinion, it's a fact, because it looks ugly as hell.

Once again don't like them? Displaybackitem Off/ON

I think they should just add cape and for the people that have computer that can run it then allow them to display it. If not then turnoff cape in the menu. We should not be limit just because some people have low end PCs. I think the should do this when they fix the core system/servers so it most people can play this game better or when they upgrade DX10 i don't mind waiting.

Once again this is not "some people with low end PCs" this is a cripple on the system to make without looking like crap, no matter the setup.

Hey buddy listen i'm not a wow players so don't go on and being a rude person. I played FFXI for 6years and only play wow for 2month before quiting that shit. So don't be a rude *** if anything players like you are the reason this game is lame. There no issue for adding capes in a pack or something if you don't like it turn the dam thing off -.-

It's ok to request to make this game more casual, more solo more easy. But a person can't request something like capes? where it does not mess up anyone if you can just turn it off? i don't see why any of you just going on this topic and saying no. At least someone of give a good reason why everything should not be solo/casual but it still going to be right?

gosh you people -.- can't request anything without someone blowing up.

Yeah, I'm the reason game is lame, not people who want to add every pointless little thing from here to the moon.

Why it bothers me? We got next to no content, community is going down the crapper, seriously, when was the last time you actually interacted with someone outside of an LS that didn't seem like they were from another planet? our events are kill this and get that being recycled on a monthly basis, every class is basically the same class with a set of different animations, we've got five armors in the entire game and every other armor is a recolor of one of the original five, we have two levee types, two quest types, and they are recycled to random coordinates, AI is horrible on the NPCs that are supposed to walk, optimization of the game engine itself is absolutely horrendous to the point that it is unbelievable, the games "monsters" are essentially 10% rodents, and 80% dinner, having no final fantasy spirit whatsoever, only the last ten being remotely final fantasy like, the environments are copy-pasted mess of unoriginality, balancing is down the drain, half the features are unuseable, a year into the release we still have alpha test bugs present and for every step SE takes even remotely approaching repairing this jumbled mess of confusion, there are ten people ready to spring up protesting the change because "it does not remain true to the spirit of final fantasy" like they are an expert on what final fantasy is when no two games were ever alike.

And on top of all of that we have people like you, people who ask for superfulous pointless features that would "look cool" and even when getting a straight up "no" directly from the company itself you still try to justify it with meaningless lines like "it can't be that hard" or "it shouldn't take that long" how many games have you made? how many teams have you directed? do you have any idea of the complexity it goes into making a game? can you even begin to imagine to collosal amount of mind numbing work it would take to fully construct and implement capes? do you even realize what a "pack" is? do you understand that just because it doesn't come on a disk it doesn't mean it's not difficulty to do?

The reason I am upset is that you can't seem to understand it's not about seeing them, i can turn them off, but it wouldn't stop you, even if we got them, there would be more like you, there would be more that wanted logos, than more that wanted better dynamics, more that want it to stop intersecting with a weapon when its on the back, the cycle never ends, i can turn off a cape, i can't turn off the community that seems to think prioritizing a gimmick takes precedence over improving a system that seems to be broken down to the very core.

True but this would be a extremely low return/work put in type of feature.

[Pulseczar]

No thanks. It would ruin the fantastic art direction of this game. If you want to play a superhero, go play City of Heroes.

once again it wont ruin it if you can just turn it off/on if you dislike it or i guess people don't understand that you can do that to fix the issue of people can't run it / don't like it.

Yes but they would have to change what is written on the box for minumum specs, reducing the amount of people that would want to play further, which they do not want to do. toggle or not.

That why i said should be done for Pack which specs always change. Everyone who playing good with a low end video card knows the day they update the game to new areas would need to upgrade there Video card. Even WoW people had to go and buy a video card cheap one but still lol they had to buy it.

I hope We get cape on a pack there no reason then is there?

[Belial]

In the same vein as the argument for having capes, toggle display, etc. they could also add in a different type of equipment slot altogether, using a smaller model, cutting down on development and design time, and not have to worry about spec changes or anything of the sort... So... +1 to No capes here.
