Leave it until the Zeah Batch. It should be on Zeah as well, as the first batch of Zeah shows that we need to have more stuff to put in all this space.

On the topic of graphics, you guys are doing too good a job to me. Old school needs to look "bad" to fit in the OSRS aesthetic, and this cape looks to good. What if those black plate pieces were just single polygons? That could fit better in to the aesthetic of the game.

I also agree with the sentiment going around that;
A) The fire cape is iconic runescape content and it would be sad to see it lose its place as #1
B) Melee is already the most OP of the triangle, why is it the one being increased further?

On a final note, some sort of quest (even very short simple ones) would be welcome in my eyes to introduce content like this, especially on Zeah.

As I am not a hardcore boss fan, I definitely wouldn't mind getting a month of QoL. I'd really like to see a toggle-able WAS* camera with "Enter to chat."
For The Inferno, PLEASE DON'T RUSH THINGS. I do thing graphics should be decent, so it wouldn't be a bad thing if it gets pushed back because it would really give you guys time to polish things. Getting something great later rather than something crappy sooner isn't a great trade-off.

However, it all depends on what the players want. Nice job guys!

Definitely give the quality of life updates people are asking for instead of rushing new content (this time). We did just get Zeah after all!

I'm glad not all 3 best in slot capes will come from a single activity. But why replace fire cape? Don't range and magic need a new best in slot cape more than melee? They are quite easy to get. The fire cape is already a prestigious status symbol. Why not make one for a different combat style instead of replacing one of Old School's... nostalgia items :P You are already making it something separate from the fight caves. Pretty much everyone ranges Jad, yet he gives a melee cape. Why can't the new boss give a range cape? (We better be able to use Ava's Device on it so it stills collects though! :) )

I have the same problem that I did on the first introduction of this content. It devalues the elite ardougne cape and will dissuade players from putting the many hours into achieving it when you can get a better one in like 2-3 hours? I've spent 2 months gaining the requirements for the ac4, solely so I can enjoy corporeal beast in the best gear, and I'll be getting it in about 2 weeks. If this content comes out mid february, I'll have what i've been working for intensely for not even a month and then it will be useless. I am not ok with that. Now that you've given the option to release it next January though, I'm a lot more comfortable with that idea. Give players time to better their accounts, increase their stats, do some more quests, and enjoy the game as whole while utilizing the achievement diaries and stopping them from becoming dead content as they're still quite new.

Another fact. If the new cape is released and a player tries, but fails to get it, what's stopping them from paying another player to do it for them? This will probably lead to scamming, extreme fluctuation in item prices, and a false sense of achievement, which I'm sure is not what Jagex is trying to display to the community. Thank you.

how about a best in slot ranged cape? I'm kind of over the chicken book bag. Rangers are supposed to be agile and stealthy. not mountain climbers, trail hikers, or chicken bone hoarders. Im thinking a smaller style cape with some quivers over the back would be a better representation. try and incorporate that into this new update. ******.
