Cloaks in GW2

[Klenora]

I've made a screenshot below of my Hero equipment interface, and just like I remembered in BWE1, there is a "Back" slot with a placeholder watermark with the shape of a cloak. (Pointed with the red arrow). Personally, having a cloak (especially full-length cloak) looks awesome to me. It'll be even better if I could have my guild emblem printed on the cloak as well as the armor through the Guild Armorer vendor.

But I do understand there are some clipping issues when it comes to cloaks in game, and this may be a major turn off to Immersion players like Vayne or others. But if the engine's physics is properly programmed, there shouldn't be any clipping issues if the cloak are programmed to flow with the wind, character movement, moved properly when sitting/sleeping, and most importantly.... properly scaled based on your race, height, and body type.

Of course, as an added precaution, it would be nice to have Hide/Unhide option for the cloak similar to the way the headgear and shoulders could. Come to think of it, it would be nice to have ALL the equipment to be able to set show/hide the individual pieces. There are some armor parts that are better left hidden than shown.

Guild logos are now placed direct onto clothing/armour and weapons.

There's no need for cloaks, insofar as what cloaks were used for in GW.

Look bro i appreciate your oppion as i do everyones but if you dont want cloaks then you should just click it off. Even if it doesnt have any attributes on it.. Cloaks should be an option to represent your guild. Colors and emblem ect.. wraping the shoulder or hanging like a cape they should for sure be appart of the game.

Cloaks +1 cool factor.

They could always hide cloaks. Saying that, leather wearers always wear long coats anyhow, so would only work for skimpy dress or heavy armour.

Cloaks make no sense it battle to me. It's just another thing you can trip up on, or your enemy can grab onto. In the old days, people removed their cloaks before dueling for that reason. In some movies, you can see people drop their cloaks before they charge into battle.

They can look okay, but I'm quite okay with them not being in the game.

Vayne, take yours off then, but I am pretty sure I won't trip over mine
