Hi!

I am a leader of a small Guild and i create the guild without a cloak, because i dont like the cloaks.

When i advance a normal member to a officer, can this officer then create/buy a guildcloak, or can only the leader do that?

Thanks for helping and sorry for that bad english, but i am german...

Greetings,
Joerg

Ok, when one my Officer buy a cape, is there any way to delete the cape?

I said to my officer that i dont want a cape, but perhaps one of them buy a cape... how can i disable the cape again (for the whole guild)?

..Why would you not want a cape? It's a way to identify eachother, and one of the best things about joining a guild.

You can't delete the cape, but you can replace it for another 2 plat.

Well my guild had a red and purple flame with a hand as their cape and my E/Mo looks well cool running around with it on :P

Post a JPG of the CAPE and I'll see what one you want to change it to in a bit (but I will not buy the cape for you)

I wouldnt even worry about the cape, you need ether hold the HoH (takes abit of skill) or shell out around 35k for a sig.(thats what they were going for, prolly more now)Before you can even start thinking of a guild hall.

ah yes, depending on the SIZE of the guild, it could be either extortionately expensive or extremely cheap, so careful of the Avatar you choose for your cape (my guild currently has 2 plat for a new sig :P)

Capes are not everything Guild Wars is about.

Its a joke that its a requirement for a guild hall, why, if someone can hold HOH can they not buy the guild hall they earned, cape or no?

Also, why, if someone like me has say 40k and is considering buying a hall with it, must that person pay 2k as some kind of worthless extra fee on top of the whole matter?

The developers really should change this.

Sorry, my english is not so good.

You need a Guildcape to get a Guildhall. Is that right?

Well, 1. Your GH has banners, which use the cape design 2. For capes in GvG

Hope that explains why. And if you can hold the HoH/buy a sigil, can't you afford a cape then?

What if you get a Guild Hall and want to change your cape, you delete the cape, do you lose the Guild Hall while you change the design of your cape?

No, because it is not deleted. It's just changed.

Ah...

So in essense, once a guild has a cape, they have a "cape" forever. Now, they can decide to change it down the road for another 2P, but they can never just delete it?

Has any seen a program for design guild cape? I'm not talking about in game. I want to design the cape before I buy it. It will be great to design it when i'm not playing the game. i can also print it out and compare it.
I see too many generic looking cape out there.

Maybe, somebody shoud design this. It will benefit everybody.

You can design the cape without having the money for it.

Its not that whoever buys a hall doesnt have the money to pay 2k, personally, I have 40k all my own, I barely even worked to get that, just picked stuff up off the ground as I went along and sold to vendor.

That said, capes gain you nothing PVP, and in fact they make it easier for the enemies to target YOU in PVP, so its actually a loss in PVP ability... not to mention I dont see why 8 people at the high end should have to have capes in order to hold HOH, apparently, regardless if you have PVP skill or not it doesnt matter, you need a cape if you want to be able to be the best in PVP.

How exactly do capes make you easier to target? It doesn't make your profile larger on males and by much on females, doesn't register as your character when you click it [from the front], or hinder movement. The only way the cape makes you a better target is if you're running away.

My guild house is in the frozen island, all blue and white, my guild cape was rez before I got that, and I could see myself a mile away, now with a cape that somewhat matches terrain and stuff I almost camoflage myself.

That has partly to do with it.

Also, pretend you are a mouse click targetter for a moment, you go into some random PVP, and say its 8 on 8, none of your team has cloaks, 4 of their team has cloaks.

Your team can choose targets easier based on who has cloaks and who doesnt, their team has a 33% chance to hit a team member if they are just picking no cloaks...

As a long time PVPer from different games, I can tell you that its never really a good idea to paint a big red X on you when it comes to PVP.

Maybe the difference is minor but its there.

Why click your opponent to target them, just use the tab to target
