I think we should be able to have capes and/or cloaks.

This would also make the game a bit more colorful. I really like the game and am excited but it is a punch in the face that every faction, every race and every class runs around in grey/brown armor.

Being able to dye your armor would be awesome.

Being able to wear capes/cloaks in different colors with guild emblems and such, would be awesome too.

So where are the capes/cloaks?

Cheers,

Was wondering the same thing

is a good question

It really is...

I demand capes and emblems.

I too would love to see some Capes/Cloaks and the Emblem idea is awsome too +1 for that. However when it comes to being able to Dye your Armor different colours, i believe there may be a slight issue.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for being able to Dye your armor different colours, But i believe the way they have there crafting system now works as following : Craft white named gear = Standard colour - Upgrade to green named gear = Changes colours slightly - Upgrade to blue named gear = Changes look and colour again ( I think? ) at so on an so forth, And that is only with the standard/starting gear made with Iron and other Standard crafting materials.

When you start crafting Say "Steel" Armor it again starts off as a White named piece of gear, How ever it's standard armor is increased and it's look is also different ( Bigger/Bulkier all in all Cooler looking ) - Then again you would upgrade it to a green name - and You betcha it would change colours and look slightly again, and again.

So the idea may be possible, but i personally think at this point and time it wouldn't happen, But if it did ( And i hope it does ) I would imagine it being something along the lines of having 2 or 3 different colours in each piece of armor, so you would therfor then have to Dye one part ( lets say Main colour 1 ) 1 Colour, and then the second part ( Alt colour 1 ) Another Colour, So you would end up having stuff like Black armor with Yellow trimming and maybe if you have a third dye you would have some Red ( Or which ever colour of your choice instead ) Filling in the blanks under ( Alt Colour 2 ).

I would imagine it work ALONG Those lines, If it even happens.

But yes, they need to atleast bring in Cloaks + Emblems ( Guild/Title/Alliance/Race Emblems ) - They could even sell these in their Cosmetic In Game Store. So i can see this happening. Again Dye could be sold in the store too, but it's a matter of figuring out how to fit it all in with it's current armor changing system.

Capes and cloaks are found right next to beards.

If they do cloaks, god I hope it's not the bedsheet every other game gives you.

This isn't a superhero movie.

capes

Cloaks, sure. I can get behind the whole mysterious troublemaker look. Capes not so much ... Way too cheesy

I agree, but remember this is in beta and I like games that grow & build interest. If they are smart they will introduce these things a little down the road which will allow for players to learn the needed skills thus far, and then the perks of more appealing gear will refresh the game and minds as the game progresses. Hopefully not too far down the road

I don't mind if they are implemented as long as there is the option to hide them. I hate capes; I think they are incredibly tacky.

No capes!

Now, Cloaks... Cloaks are something i would love to see in-game.

Not in game thankfully. I personally dislike them in games because they always clip with the character model in some way.
