Option to NOT display YOUR character's cape in PVP battles [petition]...

Would anyone else like an option to NOT display YOUR character's cape in PVP battles? That way you can still see every players' cape to help tell apart teams, but just no cape on YOUR character. I play PVP like 95% of the time in GW, and I like to be able to see my characters' armor all around like in PVE, and I don't like capes covering up the backside of the armor. What do you guys think?

if you have the time to farm tons of gold and ecto to buy expensive fancy armor for your character, YES you have time to stare at it. and you see your characters back like half the time in battles...

Meh, don't really care. I would rather they use the time to do more useful updates though.

I'll sign that one. The OP either needs to start thinking or stop thinking.

especially since elbows of many characters pass right through the capes which looks really stupid.

I think you misunderstood. the op is only asking to turn off your own view of your own cape so everyone else would still see it and it wouldn't affect gvg play.

Actually if they would just fix all the clipping errors on armor and capes that have been introduced with Factions, I would be happy.

LMAO... I was gonna say "Isn't this the same person who posted about their ranger's skirt?"... I guess so! I only have one thing to say about both of these threads:

Take a screenshot, it'll last longer!

this is just to turn off YOUR view of the cape...other pvp players would still see you wearing a cape...

Well the reason its there is for less confusion on the battlefield. if you have no cape its harder to tell red team and blue team and so forth... basically that is why its always shown atm in PvP in my opinion...

you can still know which team you're on without a cape in pvp ... nearby allies and foes have colored name tags under their feet ... so its not really all that necessary to have a cape on in pvp ... so it would be nice to have an OPTION to not show YOUR's ...

i dont think theres much they can do about weapons sticking through capes, but being able to turn off the cape in pvp would help with that too.

I am in favour of a more variety of cape design, so that it doesnt obscure your whole back... theres another thread here somewhere with ideas about guild shields and banners...

/signed - add the option to show or hide it at all times. :] As a girl, I like to look at the armor I hard-earned without some ginormous, usually ridiculously coloured cape(Sorry boys, you guys tend to fail at cape colors & designs generally. Not all though, but a majority) in the way. Yeah, I know my reasons are different for not wanting it, but I think capes being shown should be option only even outside of PVP.

For the opposite reason that others bother to /sign it.

To show thier disagreement with the idea. If you complain about people who submit /notsigned, then you should also complain about people who submit /signed. After all, it's only fair...

As to the subject...
/notsigned

Maybe in another 20 years, when they have nothing better to work on. But right now, they have plenty of things that are more important to do, and have a greater impact on one's gaming experience.

Your cape is a form of representation of your guild...
Be it in PvP on your own with a group of friends or a guild team.

PS. Faer... you wrote in a wrong font

The Game is called Guildwars for a reason, even if you're on a team with random people, you're still representing your guild.

The suggestion is just pointless compared to other areas that need work and would actually improve game play.

let everyone else on your team/opposing team see your cape...i just dont wanna look at the horriable clipping on my end. if you dont know what team your on by the dots on the mini-map and whatnot, you have issues.

As has been (repeatedly) stated, the OP doesn't want to have the capes turned off for everyone, just for his own view.

If they would just fix the clipping issues that assassins (et al.) have with capes, I wouldn't mind nearly as much. I still understand the sentiment though; once I buy my bajillion gold armor, I'd like to see it all the time.

if you don't like your guild, leave the guild, if you just don't like the cape, give the guild leader some shit about it

everyone that is doing /notsigned are idiots...cant seem to read


he doesnt want to turn off the cape for everyone's view, just his own view due to glitches with cape/hair/armor/etc..like this one...im forced to wear my dervs hood in pvp just because of the retarded clipping. it's more annoying when im running around. not everyone may have these glitches but until some of the bad ones are fixed, i dont wanna see my cape in pvp, everyone else can see it, just dont wanna see it from my view. dont get me wrong, i like our guild cape but it just annoys the hell out of me lol.

yes, thank you. Now if you actually read why people unsigned... actually maybe you should check those posts again, for you own benefit. But to make it easier, they didn't mention that the cape was to be turned off for everyone's view. They mentioned that if you don't like the cape, then ...yeah. Example:
