Just yesterday I was asked to join a guild (well, I get asked everyday, and promised officer rank, and anything, but this time it was a serious offer), and sadly, I had to turn down the chance ("I look way too good to wear a cape"). The guild leader said he was already used to that. I can only guess that this is something that needs more work than any of us would expect, but it is still the first thing I look for in new updates.

What if I don't want the girlie cape. I would rather have a nice long flowing cape that is more stately and regal.

/guildcape on
/guildcape off

we can take off our armors but we can't take off our cape? are these cloth surgically grafted onto the skins behind our neck or something? c'mon, we should be able to remove/wear them like an armor piece (as a toggleable piece, not tradeable item.. of course)

I whole heartedly agree to include a toggle for capes, sometimes i just don't want it to be there because i just don't want it to be. Either i get tired of it flapping around like a piece of paper (not like cloth at all really), i get tired of looking like superman or i simply want to see my armour.

I agree with this so much that i registered just so i could make my voice heard and sign.

I really REALLY hope anet read these forums and notice this huge thread.

Man, Rangers just look retarded with capes on, in most cases. It looks good on my warrior, okay on my Ele and Necro, and just bloody awful on my Ranger.

LifeInfusion · Jul 28, 2005, 03:49 PM // 15:49

I joined a real life friend's guild. I bought 15k pyro and dyed the whole thing silver months ago and I really miss the large silver flames.

Toggle is a good thing. It would allow you to prove that you actually got to granite citadel/marhan grotto. :P

Edit: Watch them make it if you toggle you have to have to have the cape in our inventory JUST to spite us.

It should be like the pet name command , /petname.

Make it /cape = cape on (mandatory for GvG and tombs not PvP).
and /capeoff = cape off

It shuld not be toggle all capes because some people like to show their capes.

Wearing a guild cape doesn't bother me as any class. My main is a Ranger, and I don't think it looks bad at all.

Also, considering the guild tag issue I brought up before, where another guild could have the exact same tag as you, not wearing a cape could end up being detrimental. You might be confused for a member of the other guild, who could have a bad reputation. The only indentifier you would have for these people is the 3 or 4 letter tag after thier name.

I can see the reasoning behind not wanting to wear a cape. Some of them aren't the greatest look... but on the other hand, the confusion that could be generated by people running around with the same tag could be damaging to one guild or another.

If they can fix the tag issue (so that all guild tags are unique), THEN I'll agree that capes should be toggleable.

Toggle-able capes!!!! aNet are you listening??????

SnoDoG · Jul 29, 2005, 12:10 AM // 00:10

I am full agreement with the toggling of capes idea. My current guild does not have a hall nor capes. We could certainly afford it but the mandatory cape wearing pre-requiste holds us back. The art in this game is spectacular and the capes look good on most characters. Some players, just dont like the capes. I think we should have the chioce, possibly in a future update.

im so sick of capes. even tho the cape i designed for my guild rocks, it got old fast. there should be an option to just make yours or all capes off. that way, if u still wanted to get a cool pic of ur entire guild with thier capes, u just need to turn capes on and u can see every1's even if they have thiers off.

All minor things which I would like to see changed, simply by making the cape toggleable (is that even a word?). I know it ruins the way of identification thru capes COMPLETELY, but hey, who the heck knows: "oh thats the cape with the skull, fire and castle-like end of the cape, so thats (insert name) guild."? Nobody does. Or just the ability to put the banner on your shield or sumtin.

its a bit sad innit, cos u can't c all ur armour lol

This needs to be done! My tattoo monk and scar necro demand it!

Well I'm a guild leader and even I get sick of seing them sometimes, yeah they look good SOMETIMES in certain light , but other than that, I really do think they should be toggleable, I wouldn't mind seeing a member not wearing it.

amen my brother, guild capes should never be allowed to be toggled, because? Because it just would just make your guild look noobish if it didnt even have a cape!

Broken181 · Aug 01, 2005, 04:33 AM // 04:33

So, they should implement it anyway since it wouldn't affect you at all, you'd be able to stick with your "capes make me 1337" attitude and everybody else, could turn theirs off.

Most games don't have any identifiable insignia such as capes for their guilds.

There is absolutely no reason to force people to wear them if they realy don't like them.
