Capes are still terrible.

[roflwaffle]

would like that they were improved, VEEEERRRRRRRRYYYYYY low priority though lol

[Yarathir]

not really weve got a ton of new cape looks
not just one, weve got like 20 new cape shapes, back in vanilla there was about 3/4

They're just the same old capes but with alpha maps on them. You could create a new cape shape like that with photoshop in 5 minutes.

still much better then the 4 shapres we had in vanilla and TBC, they stated they wanted to improve them by adding many more shapes

[Doomaz]

What is that for weird answer?

its a valid suggestion tho, other games have amazing capes, im happy with the ones we have

[FelPlague]

Well should improve it even more, so far it's still quite shit.

This alone is already a nice model cape, look how the cape is visible on the front of varian? With the fur sticking out.
That's just bad ass

yeah yet that is made for 1 model, varian
now make that cape to work with
orc male
orc female
pandaren male
pandaren female
troll male
troll female
goblin male
goblin female
undead male
undead female
blood elf male
blood elf female
taruen male
taurne female
draenei male
draenei female
dwarf male
dwarf female
gnome male
gnome female
human male
human female
night elf male
night elf female
worgen male
worgen female

then remember that alot of shoulders will cover that fur, and alot of races that wont even be visable like worgen, troll, orc




a cape made to be worn with only 1 set of armor, 1 gender, 1 race
takes much much much less time then to make a cape that will work with all the races, all the genders, and all armor

[Kuntantee]

It would probably take a good portion of technical design team's time. I doubt we'll see Kael'Thas/LK kind of capes ever.

That's what they said about stuff like 3D components for legpieces. Cough T19 and T20.

[Queen of Hamsters]

Forget the cape, i want 3 things
>Extended Tailcoat style
>Trench Coat style
>Moving cape that flutters while standing
Xmog is important and we need more options

Agreed.

Most capes using the "new shapes" are basically just capes that they've cut out. They look lackluster in most cases imo.

But chestpiece armor being made 3D is at the top on gear-wise visual updates.

[Typhoria]

Dh tier cape doesn't look bad with the full set on.

They don't really have to improve all of the capes. But if they could at least release a couple of new arthas style cloaks or something similar that goes over the shoulder, that would be awesome.

[Raetary]

ofc they are.
not only do night elves and humans look horrifically bad with them.
they are extremely dangerous:





therefore:

[Schattenlied]

While I do want better capes, the current ones are "good enough", what I really want are proper robes, and proper plate "robes", not the stupid stretchy texture they wrap around our legs and call a robe right now.

[A dot Ham]

When they said they wanted to improve caps, i think most of us hoped for very awesome looking capes, with a cap, or capes that go in the shoulders, like you see on those royal guard uniforms.

But Capes are still kinda shit.

What do you say, should capes be even more improved?

They've gotten a lot better in legion/WoD.

I'd like to see something different though. We've seen some cool stuff on backs before that could exist as a staple/class specific itemslot.

Spikes, wings, jetpacks, quivers, canisters, totems, backpacks, demons, pets, etc.

[Echocho]

Who cares about the shapes? It how the Cape is attached to your armor that's crap, looks like someone just stapled it do your back.

[cuafpr]

given the engine they are likely as good as can be for now but yes i don't like them much i want more cloak vs cape

[Gimlix]

They can just make some better capes, they did much harder things before.

[Deleted]

Yes, but seriously capes are the least offender... Robes are the worst thing ever. We get the same model with different textures for 10 years now.

[Doomaz]

the engine is not there yet

[Gloriandus]

Weapons would just clip into them anyway; pretty cloak with a 6-foot sword gouged into it.
