yeah i noticed that lyra_song, our officer told us of an awesome cape she's making with a shiny silver emblem...when teh final result hit the forum all i saw was a dull gray...name change could get complicated with guild ranking and stuff like that manic *specially if u in top 100*

I would love name change, but seems like 2 much of a hassle

I mentioned it to Gaile when she was in LA one time, but no response. The only way I found I could get a decent look at it was to turn the character around slightly and look at it from the back (if that makes any sense). Or, go into full screen mode and crank the gamma.

This is what I mean:


Just a matter of rotating the character around so you can see it in the right light. Having no weapons equipped or armour helps to see it better, and it's probably the best thing you can do for time being.

I noticed this problem too, but only recently. I designed a bunch of capes a month ago, with no problems at all. The colors were bright and very true.

The update for factions, changed the game coloring in general, it's just not the capes. I noticed that everything was tinted darker.

Try getting your cape to match your armor. You can get the colors nearly identical in the preview pane. Then you realize you just spent 2K to clash colors horribly.

I thought I could save money before by dying once, then spending 2K on a cape once. As it turned out I dyed my armor once, then spent a fortune remaking capes.

Luckily I joined a new guild, so I don't worry about that anymore. Besides, we can turn off capes now.

Yeah, it totally sucks. I dumped a quick 12k trying to get that right shade of magenta flames on our cape. I hope they fix it, and soon :/

I wouldn't mind haveing a guild name editor and I don't think it would effect your rank and or fame.The Rank belonging to the leader and the fame belonging to the members.I would like to change the name of my guild but not leave it as I have a guild hall.

Yes this is probably the weirdest thing I've seen...it seems the faction update presented some sort of bug within this?! White appears as grey (and not even light grey for that matter)...It is too hard to picture your cape under proper lighting. It sucks really...

along with the update that fixes this (hopefully?!?) I wish to see some more emblems and patterns for more unique capes across guild wars....but thats just me and its not a neccessity.

You're absolutely right, and I offer Age my apologies.


May I humbly suggest that people use the quote function a bit more often, as it would make mistakes like mine less frequent.

Yeah, same thing happened to me, I couldn't get the exact color I wanted and used 4k extra.
I want that 4k back! Grrr..

As for a guild name changer.. I wouldn't suggest it, except if there was a limit to how many times you could change your name, or chaos would reign. Let's say a high rank guild decides to change its name and an unranked, unrated guild selects the name that the high ranked guild didn't want.. There would be a dilemma now, wouldn't there be? My 2 cents. =P

The color thing is annoying. I havn't been to one in a month, but after this post I saw that it was alittle funky.

I agree with Shadowfow. I am a semi-programer and having a guild name changer would create alot of wierd bugs. Not impossilbe to do, just hard with lots of trial and error. Most likely it won't be worth the time or money.

This is the reason I haven't bought a new cape. Last time I tried I spent 6K trying to get the right colors, because the thing is so goddamn dark.

At first I figured it was because of the city I was in, but soon found out that that just wasn't the case. I don't believe I remember it always being like that.

Either way they really need to fix that thing.
