omgerd.. the dragon cloak looks awesome.. that gold chest has 'horns'.. hmmmmmmm ... mimics have already been done.. may there be hidden dragons ?? ??

 

[Deathbringer]

Looking forward to try the next season!!

 

[Nimvind]

I wonder what the gimmick could be, this image only has given me gold chest, dragons, new cloaks. Excited!

 

[Kromarock]

chests,dragons feels like hounds,mimics on steroids lol cant wait for more running and screaming lol

 

[Phoenicis]

Dragons. Can't go wrong with Dragons.

I'm to old to sqeee, so I won't.

*famous last words. . .

A jack-in-the-box dragon head will pop out of the chest and breath fire on anyone near it.

 

[LaggyLizzy]

it seems mimic will be back

 

[Yamani]

Dragons love treasure and hoarding it. Chest is golden with a glow effect. Cloak has a dragon breathing on a chest. Makes me think we have to loot chests this time around instead of favor? Hoard all the lootz!

 

[Vooduspyce]

I'll be there streaming every day if the rewards are cool. Nice looking cloak

 

[Nimvind]

I'm thinking maybe a debuff for every chest loot. Making it harder by having less loot, or you can go for the loot but at a risk? Dragon's greed kinda deal. The cloak shows a red dragon blowing flames on a chest. There is a lot about chests here. I think the gimmick has to do with looting and that the season is hosted by a red dragon, maybe Velah.

Ohh ya! Bring the hounds back. make sure they bug out and push everyone out of the game for good...jkjk.

In all reality, hopefully whatever is planned goes smoother than last season.

Damn these forum banners/signatures some people have are so damn annoying! Unchecking "Show people's signatures with their messages" is the best feature of the new forum already.

Agreed. This thread is 5 lines of discussion and 5 pages of signatures. Time to disable them.

It's a shame really because some people have nice signatures that were reasonable in size and had nice custom artwork, etc. but this is obnoxious and has no relevance to the discussion at hand:

Gold dragons spawning on chests

 

[Owlbear]

Could be something with the Goldcurse effect too! I'm going to do a Goldcursed Dagger build this season for sure

Is there a cat in that trunk and is it dead or alive?

Neither...or both!

So... on extreme close-up/zoom-in I think we're seeing both the Death Walker's Cloak and Death Walker's Sash of Season VIII. No one has mentioned it yet but the item on the back of the Tabaxi is a more crimson color than the cloak on the human(?) and it appears to be a split-cloak like the red sash of the initial Hardcore season. Bonus Points to the art dev because its paired very nicely with a Crimson Leaf Medium Skirted cosmetic.
