Petition for WPE Capes back

I'm one of those players who participated in the World Premiere Event of Guild Wars. Those days that I played Guild Wars were really great. I missed the first couple Beta Weekend Events, but when I returned to Guild Wars I returned to find that the old capes that I wore in the World Premiere Event had vanished. Now, It's obvious that the developers had removed them. I know they probably weren't all that popular with the majority of the crowd. I happen to be apart of the minority though, and I really miss those old capes. For what reason did those capes have to be removed? Is it not possible to have old style of capes and new style of capes together? Why, as a leader of a guild can I not choose for my own wether or not I want a certain style of cape?

Simply: I want the option of wearing those capes. I can choose wether or not I want my guild cape to be torn, and I see no reason why I can't choose to have my cape like the ones in the World Premiere Event.

You mean the ones that looked sort of like football "pinnies" and went over the front/back of a char? You are a minority.

I still refuse to get a cape for your quild until we are allowed to toggle them on and off and/or more design options. I don't find the current cape style friendly to all class armor styles.

Yeah, I think those old "cape" designs would be nice to have around sometimes, too. Like, you know, when I'm in Lion's Arch, on the beach, eating crab legs. I'm always getting butter and crab juice on my nice jacket lapels. If we had just had bibs, that would be one less thing for me to worry over.

Thank you.

Or if you're in the role playing district in International 1 and you and your current IG spouse have just had a child....

O.O

-_- am I really the ONLY person?

I'm sorry.. personally, I'd pick the current cape any day. The other one.. ugh.. bibs >.<

i'd need a pic to decide o.O

i say the more options the merrier

we should acually have class specific capes. Like for the necromancer, we'd have scarfs, or something. =/

Are you talking about this?



That wasn't a cape, it was a doublet and it hung down just as far in the front as in the back. My personal opinion is that we're better off with the capes we have now.

Sorry, I can't support you here. I enjoyed world preview, but I found the capes back then lacking. Sorry, I don't have any screenshots from back then. Oldest I have is betas. Just think of half a shirt on the front and back. Thats what they looked like.

Haha nm posted too slow. Thats what they look like.

The old "Tabard" can be seen here (note the Necromancer's yellow tabard).

The new cape can be here here.

The tabards were generally not too well liked. The capes have been much more popular, although, yes, having a toggle will be a very nice addition! We can't mix because of the implications in PvP, where the divergence in appearance, in a game where split seconds matter, could be a little confusing.

Make capes have to be on in PvP and problem solved

Gaile only said they couldn't mix the "tabards" with the "capes", not have a toggle to turn them on or off, as a matter of fact, the toggle would only work if you were in a city or mission outpost. Capes would automatically be on if you were in a mission or doing PvP.

Yeah your right I miss read sorry. As for automatically being on during missions or exploring I don't want that. HAve it be only always on in PvP (all types) and everywere else it is up to the player.

There, problem would be solved. The minority and majority would be served. I can't say I'll be donning the "tabard" anytime soon though.

Old... interface. So... pretty. Oh... why... have you denied us?!

Khaaaan!!!

Ahhh, found the screenie I was looking for. This shows the tabards much better:
