Capes are still terrible.

[SoulSoBreezy]

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?

The construction of cloaks have two variables - race and gender. So a cloak equates to that many race/gender combinations.
Adding in a third combination such as including a helm model adds another layer to the combinations.
Modifying them so they fit into shoulders probably requires nothing less than a total revamp of character modeling with regards to how a cloak interacts with each and every shoulder model. Per race. And gender.

That said, I think they can be improved. But if we were given a transparent choice between improving capes and say, 3d textures on chest models, I'd probably pick the latter. Because I doubt both would be worked on at once.

I have capes turned off on almost all of my characters because of how badly they clip everything. Clipping in this game is pretty terrible, and capes are one of the worst offenders.

The one most annoying to me is the Male Blood Elf ponytail hairstyle with shields....because that the hairstyle I like the most and my Paladin Tank has it...and I refuse to change it, but it looks ridiculous when every shield I wear seems to have a little red tongue sticking out of the back of it that wiggles around.

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

Not a separate model, but just one part of a fixed selection.
A consistent helm (or not) and shoulders (or not) that it has to interact with.
Players have access to hundreds of each, and on different races and genders.

Fixing that would require starting from scratch really.
And while it could result in something really impressive looking, it would be a huge task in way of resources.

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

Let's hope they do it again

[Daymanmb]

im pretty sure when they said improve capes they ment much more shapes, instead of what we had just the 3 types

short rectangle
long rectangle
triangle

now we have alot lot more

They changed the physics of how they move and interact with your character.
