the hardcore sash cloak is something wrong graphically.

SSG seemed to make this sash by removing the middle part of the cloak as transparent. Nope, SSG. This isn't Photoshop.
I'm disappointed of this. :/

fun.

I was wondering if that is how they achieved that look. There are other examples of creative use of transparent textures to make unique looks in the game - and personally, I am glad the art team is clever enough to find these ways to create cool looking gear. Even if it takes a bit of smoke and mirrors to get there or if some spells hamper the illusion. I didn't really expect them to have taken the time to create and animate a totally new cloak model just for the HC server... but I appreciate them taking the lesser time to create a really kickass looking cloak from existing resources.


YMMV

Other cloaks do this as well such as the High Society Cloak from pre-ordering Sharn.

Personally I would rather them take shortcuts to make something look cool most of the time rather than spending a lot of time and resources on something that is entirely cosmetic.

I take it you have yet to see stoneskin or barkskin on an archon summons?

Working with 3d is complex, and I would not use shaders created by spells to judge the actually quality art of the cloak.
But whatever, glad the artists are able to make something so distinct even from a distance.

There should be an option not to show the graphics effects of stoneskin and barkskin.
There are many armours/cloaks/etc where they look bad, and they block the cosmetics.

+1 agreed

It messes with druid elemental forms as well (last I checked).

Yeah I have the same issue with my Black Velvet Capelet mini cape from Sharn.
Would be nice to have the look not to change when buffed.

Stoneskin itself is screwy.. I think it should only really affect just the skin , not what we are wearing... it is after all 'Stone skin'...

Thirded. I want to opt out of looking terrible please.

As for this HL cloak, it's the best looking of the HL cosmetics, but I can't really say it looks good. It's different and I like that I guess.

I've been using it with the Ninja cosmetic. It has a red belt that matches the cloak colour.

There are more spells/effects which overrides all of your armor, not only stoneskin and barkskin. Easy example is Elemental form of Druid and Sorcerer.
SSG will need to work with those as well.

I like the idea of only changing your flesh.
