Recently, the HoS cape was made to take up a backpack slot, to be blunt I think this change is bad. The reason to my understanding for this change is as follows, fashion vs function has always been a part of this game. Caps sword was a listed example, you sacrifice the utility of a sword, but in return you gain the coolness of one. I think this can be a very fun gameplay element, it leads to a certain "honor" among certain items. Yeah sure clown shoes may put you at a disadvantage, but it shows you're doing what it takes to be a clown. So why do I dislike this change?
I think that in the process of adding the "honor" to the hos cape, it takes away a lot more from the hos job. Inventory space matters loads when it comes to playing as security, and the vast majority of players will not bother with the cape. This means that this takes away a lot from previous hos dynamics, for starters, for fashion you had the coat and the cape competing, with the armor vest being reserved for nerds who cared about stats. This coat hos vs cape hos was always a playful and fun part of the job, and its now gone. More importantly though, the cape just fits hos really well. The cape was always the right blend of dorky and cool, it fit the energy of hos really well. To see it relegated to being forgotten in the closet just seems bad.
