anyone feel there should be an Update that makes Capes/mantles visible?

[jenova_9]

that would be really cool, especially for PLDs and DRKs!

you see, they could construct like actual capes and stuff so we can actually see ourselves wearing those Back items, but the update should come in the form of an optional filter, if people want visible capes, then they switch it on, and there they are, I understand it's pretty unlikely they can offer visible capes without some clipping, but if people don't like it, then they can keep to visible capes/mantles option off so it stays as it is.

I just feel this update could be possible and keeping it optional could keep both groups happy. Cause I'm sure many of us here would like to see everything we have equipped, especially capes/mantels that would clearly be visible like armor, since capes overtimes are a part of the full set, making it more complete.

no.

[Nuriko]

I don't know if people swap capes, but if they do, it would just lead to more blinking...

[KoukiRyu]

It'd be somewhat interesting, but there really aren't many different cape types, and a lot of them look ugly as hell in the small icons. I don't want my character to look retarded because of some horribly ugly cape, so nah, I'm good.

[Raydeus]

Maybe if they were displayed only while in towns (maybe Linkshell capes like in Guild Wars :P ), otherwise it would be just more unnecessary blinking.

Although the PS2 will never allow it to happen. :rofl:

I'm guessing visible capes would just end up hiding body armor so that everyone ends up looking rather generic from the back.

[Richie]

Oh yes I'll wear my rainbow cape all around town and maybe SE will make a new job called rainbow warrior too so I can lvl that up to match my fancy new cape.

Realistically? No, whitegate lags my computer enough as it is.

[hongman]

No thanks.

LoL they already look that way without capes viewable.

I think the things like Capes, Earrings, Rings, Neck, and Waist seems like the character is overdoing it if they were shown. Capes may make you look like a superhero. Earrings on a guy such as the kinds in the game would look disturbing. Rings are barely seen. Visual neck pieces is just a no overall. Waists pieces look probably ruin "your look" but that's just my 2 cents into that. I wonder if people will start asking for visual fishing lines o_O :shocked:

[jenova_9]

okay was just curious :D

[fallenintoshadows]

I really don't want to run around looking like super man >_> however, jewelry, like necklaces might work.

[Dymlos]

Um <no thanks>. But I do want my bow/xbow/gun to be visable like my sword, of course it would have to be RNG onry. Oh wait we can't get that...thanks alot PS2!

[Srxjo]

how about if you wear X Armor it has it's own spiecal cape look build in so RDM AF would have a Red Cape with the mark that is on the hands and knees on it, and the same goes for other armors?

uninformed comments ftw.

ranged weapons not being shown has nothing to do with PS2 and everything to do with it being a PITA. Ranged slot DOES cause your character to flash, because it DOES show a model. The only thing is, there's no where to PUT that model without a LOT of work making sure it looks right for every type of armor, every race, every stance...

We don't have a Red Cape as our Relic, we have a Duelist's Belt.

[Srxjo]

i mean you wear X Body and it has it's own cape build onto it so RDM AF Body Red Cape with RDM sign ec for other RDM

[Karinya]

If you want to wear a body armor with a RDM symbol on it, I suggest a Duelist's Tabard.

Cape physics is hard (almost as bad as real-looking hair); if you don't do it right you get clipping issues when the cape slides through other body parts. Plus it's more textures to load, and obscures the detailed body pieces we have. I vote no.
