Hey everyone!
As you saw on today's live stream we have an idea of where we want the Infernal Cape to be heading but we now need your feedback to push it in the direction you want it to go.
So for a little background; we looked closely at the previous two attempts to nail a design for this cape, both of which failed to conjure a solid design that appealed to a majority of players. We saw that not only did a lot of the designs presented to us have a very similar number of supporters, but they also didn't take into consideration the technical limitations we're blocked by (mainly the really dark and washed out textures).
There was one aspect that correlated between the most popular suggestions; the shape. It was clear from the designs offered on Strawpoll 1 and Strawpoll 2 that a cape with the more traditional 'Fire Cape-esque' silhouette was the more favorable among the community.
With this in hand we then looked at what this cape is supposed to represent. It's an achievement; surpassing that of any other item in the game so far by quite a significant margin, (with the exception of maybe the Max Cape), and so we wanted to pay homage to its predecessor by keeping it... well... simple. For us it ticks the most important box of all - it's inherently Old School and that's where we'd prefer it to stay.
This is where you guys come in. For some of you our design is great; for others it's worse than garbage and that will always be the case with an item like this. Finding a middle ground is now our top priority.
Please post your suggestions and feedback here; we'll be collecting and responding to your comments over the coming days :)
