Add option to turn off our own cape in PVP?

How about add an option to turn off our own cape in PVP? So that we can see all of our own character's armor even when playing PVP.

Because the capes help determin which team someone is on. Notice how the cape changes color?

/signed, magmared, True but namecolor Also changes, and thats enough for me( + the map dots).. I kinda never wear My cape, so i want it gooone

pls lrn to read its not that hard...

You can't just hide your cape from yourself. If it's hidden from you, it's hidden from everyone. They'd have to change the cape mechanic completely to allow that change. It's not like they can just add another button to the menu.

It's like this for a reason, as MagmaRed pointed out.

True, but as i Said, name changes colours, the dots on the map..
The cape is just another way to spot an enemy in pvp..<3

Not disagreeing with you. It's the "lrn2read" post that merited a response.

Ah, okey

Horray for people with small monitors be even more confused in PvP

Regarding the capes in pvp, none of us as teams are actually using them to identify which side the other player is on so forcing it's display is rather redundant. Plus I don't prefer the super-hero gig messing with my appearance.

Capes are gay. Sorry Anet.

idk what it is about this site that makes ppl go hurr durr but it does it...maybe its the color scheme idk...but alas lrn2read

how bout we just remove the "cept pvp" part in the description? Then when we leave them off, they stay off for good.

Lrn2read bitch please...its only a few posts up...if you are that lazy...please spare me the trouble of having to click quote...

another option instead of cape could be "always show player names in pvp". its another way u can seen what color players are without capes.

It's there for a reason and been like that for 5 years. If you want it out, 10 minutes with texmod and a few more turning the cape graphic into a clear png texture will get you what you want but only you will see it gone.

I've never had trouble figuring someone's team by whether or not their cape was in view. Just the same as I've never had a problem determining profession if they were behind an object and I couldn't see their armour.

And let the scrubs whine all they like. Haters gonna hate.

I doubt it would be much programming to hide your own cape from yourself. After all, the visual rendering is already done by your client, and to stop displaying an object should only require a change to a few variables and wouldn't interference with the server or clients of other players.

There shouldn't be much to program at all really. Pvp unlike explorable areas use only a bit of code which allows all capes to display either red or blue and a switch to keep it on during those matches. If that switch could be done on the same level you turn your own cape's display off it's nothing much for a developer to just take a look at and make an adjustment to. Problem is getting said developer to lift a finger...

The sad thing is he wants the cape gone because he wants to look at his own characters armor during PvP. I wouldn't want to be on someone's team who spends more time looking at his own character's ass than the enemy/team positions. Truly, there is no need for this. It serves a function for PvP, and even if you don't make use of that function, having the cape there does not hinder your ability to play.

Uhm-uh, display of the cape is handled by the client, so it would be very possible to implement it so that you don't see your own cape but other people do.
