LOL oh heck ya there should be. And these days I fully excpect that hood to raise and lower.

Psymon · 2nd December 2008, 19:31

I would be pist if there wasn't. I would LOVE to see CAPES with the hood, instead of a helmet that is a hood, so that armored classes can enjoy a HOODED look. heh

Your talking about hooded capes that could go over your helm?

That would be cool also!

Jedi · 2nd December 2008, 19:35

may be sth like shround in UO, but not hooded cloak

Yeah. Sucks having to give up armor or something good, just because you like to wear a hood. Can't a brother just be Mysterious?

Legenis · 2nd December 2008, 20:24

You should be able to wear a helm with a cloak... its just a cloth that goes over your helm connected to your cloak.

ravoc · 2nd December 2008, 20:51

Hooded cloaks sounds nice, but it should always be possible to take off the hood.

Elfvis · 2nd December 2008, 20:56

OT : Can I just get the hood?

I really like the idea of raising and lowering a cloak. I think its a small detail that is pretty cool.

Joszek · 2nd December 2008, 21:09

Every such small addon raises amount of the data being sent to server.
I wonder how much data is being sent and received up to now.

ravoc · 2nd December 2008, 21:24

The hood being worn or not is just a binary value. It could simply be put in the bitstring that also describes the cloak; that is, if bitstrings are used at least.

Parad1ne · 2nd December 2008, 22:03

Actually what I would like to see is hoods that cover your name tag or hide your characters info. I think that would be a cool way to do guild infiltrations and be "thief like". Oh yeah and masks too!

GetAngry · 2nd December 2008, 22:07

Wasnt this already discussed? I'm pretty sure there will be cloaks in the game to conceal your identity.

Joszek · 2nd December 2008, 22:14

Yeah, It has been discussed.
I remember most of oldies wanted to have the cloaks, which would be able to be worn over the armour.
Of course not covering it in 100% (lets say 90%), but it'd prevent players from taking off all gear not to be killed and looted just because they were wearing something shiny.

Thorian · 3rd December 2008, 18:14

Sure hope so, I hope they give cloaks some love in this game. I'm so bored of the typical cloaks in every other mmo (tho I don't really mind them just that I want more variation other than color).

TortureYou · 3rd December 2008, 18:16

Great post and yes i hope we will se heavy armored guys on the horse with dark cloaks on they head.

Effect · 3rd December 2008, 18:21

Most certainly there should be hooded cloaks. What kind of question is this hehe. What hope though is that they aren't hide to find or buy. It never made sense to me in other games that you had to be a certain level to wear cloaks or shoulder armor. Or why hooded cloaks were are rare thing.

admiralnlson · 3rd December 2008, 20:35

I think it'd be cool. But cloaks may introduce clipping issues, especially with an armor under it.

I hope the devs can get past this (ignore the clipping issues) because cloaks could add an interesting layer to the game.

Nyrkl · 3rd December 2008, 20:42

A hood is mystery. I like to be the lone stranger with the shadowed face behind the hood :P

ravoc · 3rd December 2008, 21:01

Looking at the current poll results, I'm starting to fear that everyone will want to wear a cloak with hood. So much for diversity...

Kayden · 3rd December 2008, 21:07

You have much to learn, young jedi.

I was thinking the same thing. Each different sized helm would need to be accounted for. Seems like a lot of work for something of only aesthetic value. I'm still all for it though.

Archaaz · 3rd December 2008, 21:51

If this feature causes no mechanics issues, then sure I am all for it. I think it would add a wonderful dimension to the game.

Pudd · 3rd December 2008, 22:01

am i missing something here? saying no would be like being against having orange shirts in-game...

Resin · 3rd December 2008, 22:19

orange shirts are lame. No orange shirts in-game

.

Hoods are definately cool though. A white cloak could be used to keep the sun off your armor and mitigate heat exhaustion. A camo cloak would be great for getting the drop on folks even if your not totally stealth-based.

auutumn · 3rd December 2008, 23:46

Yes and it would be great if they billowed in the wind like a cape.

Assuming there will be a weather system that includes wind.

Or they could make the cloak somewhat like the guild cape on guild wars, it moved rather well and realistically.

Phi · 4th December 2008, 22:00

hoods are awesome, i like deep, dramatic hoods.

FistOfShiva · 5th December 2008, 17:52

Yeah i hope we will have hoods/cloaks ingame.Sometimes you need to hide your face

Tickle · 5th December 2008, 18:26

I'd like to see hoods as well.

It'd be a nice way for me to tell who to kill next.

Neek · 6th December 2008, 14:15

Why shouldn't there be hooded cloaks? They're cool, they're mysterious, and they cover up fruity looking armor.

Oh, it's just a binary value?

-Hey, Sebastian! I'd like to add some more stuff to be sent! No no no, don't worry, they are just binary values! What? There already are schwifty-five zillion other binary values being sent back and forth between the server and the clients?

Joszek · 6th December 2008, 23:45

How about you guys use ssh compression for sending data over tcp/ip ? ;>

I suppose 128kbit tx/rx is the very minimum connection speed to play MO ?

Strife40k · 7th December 2008, 07:20

Yes!!! Hooded Cloaks!!! Oh Yes!!

PhroX · 7th December 2008, 08:04

Definately yes. Though I'll be happy if we just get any kind, hooded or not, of proper wrap-around cloacks, rather than bathtowel capes...

Khaiyne · 7th December 2008, 09:56

They do look nice. Have you seen the Imperial Battlemages in Oblivion? They're wearing armour but just a good without a cloak. It looks amazing.

schwifty-five zillion +1 then? Against such an amount, an extra bit sounds infinitesimal.

Lucien Lachance · 7th December 2008, 13:36

Definitely. Hooded cloak with mouth cover would be even cooler.

Joszek · 22nd December 2008, 14:54

I've just noticed something. Did you look at the guards standing near gate on the teaser ?
One of them is hooded, while other has hoods as well ;]
