I never have since the start. Only when it makes me in a pvp match.
When I first started playing EVERYONE applied capes. I refused to join in with everyone wearing one.

Our guild cape really doesn't go with any of my Paragon's armor, so she never wears it.

My Ranger shows her cape when she's wearing her elite Sunspear armor, but otherwise hides it as well.

Taking into consideration I play only female chars and realising that a displayed cape coveres their behinds I'd say no. No displayed capes on my characters whatsoever. What's the point of your ele wearing 15k hydro when you can't look up her skirt every now and then?

Do I display my cape?

Short answer: Hell no.

Long answer: No. If cape designs were unique to each guild I probably would, but since every damn cape is based on only a handfull of designs which can only be differenciated between with close scrutiny, I honestly wonder why anyone bothers to waste 2 plat on them.

Gooood times. This is when I was in my old guild. The Tombs had just been released, we tried a run (this was before people came up with barraging so it took a bit longer than usual) and we took this epic picture right before the final confrontation. And no this is not one of those ironic cases where we failed despite the dramatic and heroic screenie.

Hehe, I thought I recognized the cape and a couple of characters there. Good times indeed! It's a small world

I display cape on every character except monk. She's too pretty to be covered by a cape <3.

Depends on how it looks on my character. We have a new cape in our guild and it looks really ugly on my Warrior with G-string armor (Female elite kurz), but on my monk it doesn't looks bad

I don't think my fiery phoenix cape looks good on my assassin, so I guess I'd disable my cape everywhere I get a chance to go .

I don't, because while my guild's cape is pretty, it's kind of distracting. Most of my characters just look silly in the thing anyway.

It depends what armour im wearing. If Im wearing say, Elite Sunspear for a female ele then definatly NOT! It looks so well, eurgh.

But, if Im wearing Kurizick assassin, then yes I think it goes pretty well.

Then again, I'm not a huge fan of our current cape..I miss the old one.

Depends.

But I never display it outside of an outpost or town. Totally not in keeping with going 'to battle' with the foe - would be in the way .

I always display my cape. My armor is usually died to match it, as well. I might not if I didn't like the design of it, though.

Never ever ever. In fact, I hate capes so much that I bitch about it all the time whenever I PvP or AB or whatever--anything the requires me to wear a cape usually draws some complaints. The #1 thing that drives me crazy about capes is how whatever you're holding in your right hand just pokes right through it like it's not there. The #2 thing that drives me crazy about capes is that we have to wear them in PvP. I mean, it's not like you can get confused and cast on your own teammates or anything. TAB does a better job of differentiating friend from foe than does the cape!

I used to wear my cape on my warrior, but not anymore. And it just looks bad no matter what you're wearing as a monk.

depends on the armor i wear
like my necro the cape fits with it
but my monk with elite sunspear armor it doesn't fit
it even has clipping problems
proffessions that use staffs usually have clipping problems with that too
with the staff sticking out the cape
or a running assassin has it too
only my necro can flawlessly wear his cape

If it doesn't look good with my armour then I don't display it. Other wise I might, unless I'm in pvp and don't have a choice.

Depends on the class and my equips.

I mainly (as in 99% of the time) play my male warrior. Most of the time I wear the cape. I just bought a tormented shield, and I am now noticing many more clipping issued than with any other shield I've used. So we'll see how long I keep the cape on :P

Yeah...I play my warrior about 99% of the time as well. He's got Elite Kurzick, so my cape looks pretty good with it.

My cape is always equipped except on my monk. It looks odd with his Primevial because the spikes stick out. So I usually hide the cape then. But otherwise I like the seeing the cape.
