It seems since the CEP update, that all cloaks are being revised to look the same. I'm guessing this is a bug as the original post in the tavern indicated they were being revised to look different. So far the ones I've noticed that have been changed to look Identical are:
Parson's Preserver, Cloak of the GrandMaster, Ardent Flame +10 (and presumably the other ones in the series), Barbarian wrap +10 (and probably +1-10 as well), Cloak of protection +1-5 (and possibly higher), Cloak of resistance +1, Cloak of the Fold, the Druid Dachy cloak, Cloak of Imperium, Targak's Cloak, Mordent Wit (presumably +1-10), Nymph Cloak +10 (and 1-9), Zhent Cloaks +1-10, Cold Reason +4 (and others in series), Drow Piwafi Cloak, and Cloak of Worldliness. All of these have the same dull greyish cloak appearance (of the same design), meaning its almost impossible to get any idea of what the item is when you first see it. At least before you could get a decent idea, as these would all look different, and while there may have been one or two items with the same appearance, there were so few of these it meant you still had a good idea of what the item was.
IMO the new cloak appearancese (icons that is) also look much worse than before, as they're fairly dull and have no vibrancy or colour to them. If only 1 item had one of the cloak models, rather than 25+, it wouldn't be so bad, and would even improve on before as it'd allow cloaks with duplicates to be more easily identified, but unfortunately with the way its gone so far all I know when I see the cloak icon is that it is...a cloak!
I don't know if all of these have been changed specifically, or if CEP has automatically changed them, as ALL the cloaks in both rips and the item merchant are showing up with these new 'grey' cloaks. They do have differences in design, but I have yet to see one of the nice old bioware cloaks.
