So. It’s been a while since our last post regarding the infernal cape but that doesn’t mean in any way that we haven’t heard your… shall we say, strong opinions, regarding the first redesign. Alongside the issues with our proposed texture, we recognise that you dislike the ‘heavy’ looking ornament attached to the bottom of our redesigned cape. This was in response to quite a few of you expressing that this cape should be something different; something unique to set it apart from the Fire Cape. Feedback in this area was mixed to say the least and brought along with it a lot of different suggestions – some of which we are entirely against for many reasons whether for technical constraints or otherwise (Kiln/Rhino Cape).
After our first reveal we were left in a split between those of you that wanted a simple Fire Cape texture swap, and those that wanted something more extravagant which led to our first redesign. We took a suggestion that popped up frequently which was way too busy and attempted to come up with a compromise by keeping the clean main cape body whilst adding a bit of something extra with the ornamental piece attached to the bottom. You have clearly expressed your views towards this and as a community have come up with one design that, on the surface, most of you agree with.
With this I’ve recreated both of your most up-voted textures along with the design that came with them and got them in game. Below are a few images showing you how these will actually look at various distances. These have been captured with brightness settings at 3.
EDIT: Updated Reddit Red to correctly show bottom trim colours.
EDIT 2: There seems to be a 50/50 split between Our Texture and Reddit Red. We have decided that we will be sticking with our texture do to it holding up better at actual game distances. This is our final design and the one that will be shipping with The Inferno on 1st June 2017.
