Hey guys, I’ve changed to BK a few days ago to start collecting esssences for my resonance gallery (https://di-legos.web.app/home) and was really looking forward to get the inferno 4 and 5 armor pieces as they preview what the themes will be for the next difficulties for other classes (see this post - https://www.reddit.com/r/DiabloImmortal/comments/1ax73yp/appearance_of_bk_essences_foreshadow_future/).
I was lucky as I could get 3 inf4 and 2 inf5 pieces pretty quickly and went ahead to see how they change with resonance cosmetics - that’s when I noticed what’s in the title.
Here is the inf 4 armor - can you guess which one is which resonance level?

And here is the inferno 5 armor

I’m extremely disappointed with how the t2 is only a recolor. You probably could say that there might be change as I don’t have all items but the thing is that every single legendary shoulder and head piece in the game changes it’s appearance with at least reso t2 (as can be seen in my gallery (https://di-legos.web.app/home))…
I don’t like conspiracy theories but considering that the reso t1 become only recolor with inf1 gear - the time when new gem slots were introduced and 1k reso was easily available for the masses and now we are around the time when most f2p/low spender day 1 players can reach 3k reso (there are even rumors about adding new slots shortly again) it starts to be sensible that they intentionally remove the appearance change for subsequent sets just cause they are not that rare and unique anymore. There are already t2 cosmetics that make so minor change that they could be t1 as well but this one is a new low.
