Guild capes
Rhombus
Ok, I like being in a guild, I like the cape, but I dont want to walk around with that cape all day. I want to be able to take it off, to be able to toggle it. this way some (to me) irritating glitches won't happen anymore, like when u got a leather vest (the trenchcoat), the cape goes in half way, or when u're flexing as a monk your head goes through the cape. All minor things which I would like to see changed, simply by making the cape toggleable (is that even a word?). I know it ruins the way of identification thru capes COMPLETELY, but hey, who the heck knows: "oh thats the cape with the skull, fire and castle-like end of the cape, so thats (insert name) guild."? Nobody does. Or just the ability to put the banner on your shield or sumtin.

This idea has been beaten to death, but it should still be implemented. I don't like wearing my cape at a dance party...

1. Capes should be able to be turned off or taken off by the player.
2. Guilds should have the option of going with no capes once they get one.
3. Every PC should also have an individual cape that he can choose to wear.

I just now have encountered this somewhat annoying cape issue and would like to put emphasis on how terrible it is to players (like me) who enjoys looking at their very nice, sleek, color coordinated characters.
edit: i'm not sure if i was being too vague, but to clear it up: yes. i agree with the OP. capes visuals need an off button.

i like the capes it makes my warrior look good in my eyes but i've had some of my guild members asking if there was a way to take it off and i don't have any suggestions other than leaving the guild but i don't want them to do that i have a small group but they're good people so there really needs to be a toggle or maybe different styles like a flag or sash etc.

no. turning the cape of takes away the team feeling you get in a guild. If you meet up with some guildmates its realy cool to see all those capes. I go a pic somewhere were we met with almost the whole clan. realy cool
Ironsword
thats true but i don't want a guild member leaving because she doesn't like the cape i don't think she will but there's always a chance there are other options and i've suggested before that maybe we could design our own guild armor that would be specific to our guild it would take some work but there are some things that could be done
Rhombus
guild armor? u mean like, the banner is painted on your armor? that'd be cool. But again, it should be toggleableubledoubletroubleblub

Toggle, yes. A thousand times yes.

i agree, toggle button is VERY necessary. otherwise, what is the draw to buying the 15 armor? it IS statistically the same as the 1.5k, right? so its only darw is its aesthetic appeal. the cape hides the whole backside of the armor. lame!

Please allow us to toggle capes!
Some of the best armor graphics appear on the backs and necks. I wear the 15k Wanderer's armor and, darnit, I want people to be able to see the intricate tattoo on my back. I am literally tempted to leave my guild in order to make that happen since we communicate on ventrilo anyway - but my character isn't quite that vain....yet.

3. If each of you want an individual cape, then each of you should create your individual guild.

I never liked the idea of the cape. I however, have been courting the idea of suggesting to ArenaNet to allow each member of the guild to customise the way they are to wear their respective emblems. For instance, if someone wants to wear a cape, then so be it, someone else might like to wear an armband or have it imprinted on his armor or shield. Some might like to wear it as a bandana.
I dont know how possible it is but coupled with the ability to remove it at will could start us all on the way of more diversity

Personally I've found that most guilds have capes and therefore both my characters remain guild-less.
I hate the look of the capes, the way the warp in and out of my weapons and armor, they simply look odd on some characters like most the female ones.
PLEASE A.net, if you really are reading this... just us a Toggle option, its been requested so many times.

Or do you seriously expect us to quit and rejoin everytime we want it on or off?
Also I'm not going to leave my awesome guild because my character looks goofy with their cape, no more than I'll join a guild just because it doesn't use capes. That's retarded.

I think it's those seemingly "easy things" that don't get programmed into the game.
There's another thread about the mini-map.
People agree that it's easy to do, but what the heck do we know?
And how do we know Anet is reading this forum?

FOR GOD'S SAKE GIVE ME A TOGGLE OPTION...please?
I get so INSANELY annoyed when I see my cape going through that one section of my druid's coat. I mean...just that one little section of it gets so annoying---gah! I could die because of it.
And I love my guild---but I HATE our cape. I don't mind wearing it every now and then, but I really...really want to be able to take it off.
Badly.

However some of the ideas posted on this forum are "easy" in the sense of the size and scale of implementing them.
As a programmer, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take too long to allow capes to be toggelable in some manner... all the need is a few rules however:
- Capes are toggleable, but capes will be forced show in the following situations:
1. During GvG battles (Ranked or Unranked)
2. While inside you Guild Hall.
3. When you are allied with the leader of your guild in a party.

1. i think its a good idea
2. toggleable IS a word
3. i had a member leave coz she doesnt like capes final
4. guild armer is pretty good idea maybe if u go to an armerer he will paint it or sow it on for sum gold

Just keep it for when its absolutely necessary: PvP, period.
Shadow_Avenger
Toggle capes plzzzzzzzz. Sure have them forces in GvG but anywhere else they are simple not needed, they may look cool in some peoples eyes, but in others they look naff. The option to toggle on or off.
RTSFirebat
Making them toggleable would be a good step in the right direction.
Forcing anyone in a guild to wear them is simply like forcing everyone in the game to wear a silly hat or something.
Some think it looks cool, for example on Male Warriors it they do. For others (Like many in this thread) it looks daft... and not everyone should be forced to wear one while being in a guild with good friends.

I don't think they should be forced to be on when partying with your guild leader.
Why? I'm the leader of my guild, and I hate capes, as does everyone else in my guild. We all want a guild hall though, and it is required to have a cape to get a guild hall. This means that I have to get a damn cape and none of us are happy about it. I've been trying to contact ANet about it, but their customer support sucks for stuff like this, I fully addressed the fact that there were multiple threads discussing this and that I wanted to just make them aware of this. Then they sent me back a reply saying that I should post my suggestions on a fansite forum..... >.< So helpful, eh?
Anyways, either make guild capes not required to get a guild hall, or make guild capes toggleable when outside of PvP. That's the bottom line, and that is definately how it should be. I see no reason why capes shouldn't be toggleable. It also seems by majority of the people here that it is agreed that it is a good idea.

YES, the toggle option would be the best^^
I dont have capes in my guild, why? because most of us play female characters and capes looks ugly in most of them, but a cape for a warrior or an elementalist or mesmer usually looks cool, so a toggle button could bring happyness to everyone

I would agree ... a toggle option would be a nifty feature to help customize your toon.
I also agree that it should be mandatory in guild vs guild battles and when in your guild hall. After all your guild hall is your kingdom ... well more like a beefed up mercenary hideout. But I agree 100% with this. It would be cool to see people with out there capes on all the time. I mean ... it would also make wearing them ... that much more appealing like your going off to war. grrrrr *flexes*

It's been brought up a thousands times before. I've read all the threads but figure for the sake of saying I did it, I'm posting agreeing with it.

Rather than toggling capes on or off, I have a better suggestion:
Toggle the cape on or off just for YOURSELF.
Your guild doesn't need to know you turned off the cape for youself. This is a way to identify OTHERS, not specifically to identify yourself.
So what if others see the cape. It wont' raise static with your guild mates since you won't be going around capeless, what some people might consider an affront to the group.
Perception is the key here. If you perceive yourself as walking around without a cape, then you're happy because you look the way they do, and your guild is happy since you still have the cape on in their eyes, which is pleasing for guild unity. No harm, no foul, nobody gets hurt.

Try thinking things though a little more next time.
I saw someone mention that you need capes to get a guild hall, I would hope that Anet removes that requirement from the game. Not all guild like capes.

I like the idea of a toggle option with it mandatory on for PvP Guild battles. Give guild solidarity and all that.

definately a toggle for Cape on...Cape off
