Cape bug

grendlerose

hello, while mounted, everyone i see that has a cape on, appears the cape is several feet above them. only while player characters are on mounts.

Yup, get used to it Yours looks like that to us as well

The game engine draws capes viewed from a distance as way too high. This affects all player characters as well as dozens of NPCs. It's especially funny for situations where caped NPC models were used as fallen/dead but from a distance you still see these capes hovering over a bunch of bodies.

This bug has persisted on PC for a really long time, so it's pretty clear that it's either very hard to fix or the devs don't care in the slightest about it.

ahhh, i see. thank you for the replies, at least im clear now that bugs arent really addressed with the game, which will effect my real money investments with it greatly.

I'd say that some bugs to get addressed, others not so much. I'd rather they work on other things and leave the silly cape issue until some of the other stuff is fixed first. Hopefully that is what they are actually doing.

LOL I would agree with you... but take a look at what made it into the most recent patch notes:

• Cloaks and capes no longer seem to fly straight up in the air when viewing characters wearing them from long distances.
