    200M in all Skills

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    As a side-note, does anyone think S U O M I maxing xp will cause Jagex to consider somehow raising the xp cap in skills, ideally to some impossibly large number? I think it'd be great if this happened because it'd mean we'd see intense competition for the front page in skills. I always enjoyed watching this competition play out, back before the front pages were filled with 200Ms. It'd be interesting to see people specialise in skills too, and focus on what they truly enjoy, instead of people having to change skills (as is the current situation) because they reached 200M xp. Of course, this would mean the people that pursue buyables far past 200M would fill the overall xp front page. Still, they need to get their money from somewhere, and this would still be a challenge to pursue some of the expensive skills all day every day. Plus, the insane xp gains would be intriguing. In any case, Jagex could prevent buyable xp dominating the overall xp front page by introducing the virtual levels thing, which extends forever using whatever the exponential relationship for level-up xp is. This would allow people with balance in their skills like Kingduffy and S U O M I to still be competitive, while still allowing for specialisation from other players. Overall, hopefully we'd see more diversity in play styles and goals if S U O M I's maxing xp caused Jagex to raise the xp cap to some impossibly large number.

    Zezima at 1,643,467,465 xp total, and it appears his total xp will include two new 200M skills in the coming weeks: fletching and dungeoneering, currently at 198,807,962 and 181,641,036 xp respectively. Also looking quite good is his 121,337,538 firemaking xp, but he hasn't gained much xp in this skill recently. With already 200M xp in thieving and cooking, hopefully we might see Zezima max out xp in a few more skills, and advance up the ranks. It doesn't seem like he has as much time or motivation to play as he once did, but it's still nice to see he's playing and gaining decent xp.

    To me, it's dull that all the highscore skill pages have 200Ms from top to bottom. There's never any change to the pages, no names moving up and down, as there's no chance for people to move up the ranks. Removing the XP cap of 200M from skills would make the highscores more interesting (xp in skills actually changing among the top ranks) and foster some interest in competing for top ranks rather than these always been fixed. Some people enjoy the permanent rank that comes currently with 200M xp in a skill, so perhaps have a separate highscores option that shows the order in which people reached 200M in the various skills. I have no skills near 20M xp yet alone 200M, and don't foresee this changing in the future unless there is an opportunity to progress to the top rather than forever be in someone else's shadow because they simply pursued their goal before you did yours.

     

    Highscores are meant to be contestable rather than fixed, and so it makes sense to remove the xp cap of 200M.

    Yay Tip.it back up :D

     

    Grats to 99 prayer people

    Also, "The Pit" is disappointing in that it's so luck-based and I've heard the xp rewards don't make it worth taking the risks. The games are simple and reasonably fun, and it has potential if they increase the xp gained even from a failure I think.

    Drumgun, I'm glad that you're finally getting prayer xp. You should totally go for fishing records after you've claimed first to 200M combats :D

     

    On a completely unrelated note, is Elias never to return? Because if so, Suomi might be #1 forever :o

    I was saying that because of flawed intentions for playing, inevitably they will quit. Perhaps SUOMI will be the one to achieve the goal, but certainly I think he will tire of trying to impress others and receive their attention.

    Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly...

     

    Many people spend copious amounts of time on this game and in other similar games to achieve a sense of accomplishment in their dull little lives, seeking fame or recognition for changing around a few 0s and 1s. When they eventually receive some attention - narcissistic attention seekers, I think we can classify them as - they soon realise that their shoulders still slump in front of the computer screen, and they can look in the mirror and nothing's changed. They are not suddenly perfect, and they have not achieved anything with all the invested effort. Someone could ask "What'd you do with those x hours? What'd you achieve?", and they would struggle to find anything decent with which to reply. "I had fun, I suppose...Even though I could've had a lot more fun meeting real people and doing real things with them in the real world" Looking back at those x hours, they couldn't add a single item to their resumé, nor could they commence conversation with their friends - I'm not sure these people exist for them - about anything new. "No-lifers" might say now that they're not interested in ranks or whatever, or that they're simply perfectionists...but without highscores, would they really be devoting so much time to the goal? I certainly find that hard to believe. If they can say that they would want 200M all skills if no one would ever know - only themselves, no one else - THEN they are perfectionists. Otherwise, they are simply seeking attention, and all are going to be disappointed when they receive it, and they still feel just as lacking in self confidence - probably even more so.

     

    Sorry to start this debate again, but I did feel compelled to briefly reply to people who missed the essence of my post. I apologise if I didn't respond to all arguments posed, because I didn't bother reading more than one reply. As to whether SUOMI will be any different, I do find that difficult to believe.

    Random off-topic to SUOMI

     

    SUOMI, you and I are like the same person, except that you chose to stick with Runescape :P

     

    Mutual qualities

    Perfectionism, but obviously not to your extent

     

    Mutual sports

    Cycling <3

    Skiing

     

    Mutual games

    Runescape (I have similar memories to your early ones e.g. getting scammed, mining coal for money and selling at the wrong price, my first 99 in 2004, encountering people like Zezima, making awesome friends)

    Pokemon (I loved Blue/Red/Yellow, and eventually got all the Pokemons, of course with the assistance of the Missingno Glitch. Silver, Gold, Crystal and their remakes are great. Sapphire was excellent, then Platinum, then Pokemon White. Of course, all the games are practically the same, and the Pokemons are getting quite ridiculous, but I still enjoy it). Card collecting was for the win as well. I use the cards as bookmarks now

    Golden Sun (DS remake I haven't bought, but the original was amazing. Puzzles just the right amount of difficulty. Always loved djinns)

    Command and Conquer series is great (Red Alert 1 was probably my first serious gaming, Red Alert 2 was fun with the nuclear weapons, Red Alert 3 addicting multiplayer. Tiberium wars was enjoyable also)

    StarCraft I and II are amazing (it's just a shame that I fun it difficult to find many matches that aren't against uber Koreans)

    Final Fantasy VII is my favourite. I love playing it on emulators

     

    By the way, I gave away all my cash the other day to F2P people because I don't like where Jagex is going with this game. It was only 20M but I regret not giving it to you

     

     

     

    I hope SUOMI gets a lot more donations with the exposure of this interview. Unfortunately, though, I fear the increased fame might force him to his chat to "friends" from "on" soon. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if SUOMI quits in a few months. Even though he's a perfectionist, a lot of the top players seem to be getting bored of fame, not considering it worth the effort invested, and this could very well happen to him. He's only really just become famous, and the fame might be underwhelming to him in the sense of perceived gains relative to his personal build-up...like realising a hyped up movie is actually terrible (eg Transformers 3)

    Eventually, all the current top players will become inactive. Even S U O M I.

     

    Cya Aasiwat - you did well, but it's good that you've decided to use your time a bit more productively...Eventually we'll all have the realisation
