qanq Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I don't think they should get a skill cape like what we have in members, but what about something like a normal blue cape, but with the 99 skills picture on it? It would still show great achievement, just not as fancy as the members cape. I think ur right.. we should get a sign, who shows, that we got a lvl 99, thats everything we need... The emote can be discussed... But we defintly need a sign :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youmu Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hell yes! NJE03's idea is epic ^^ Nah, having a single person selling all the skill capes is good enough. : This cape-seller should be near Draynor Bank, near where Diango is. Or, have Diango give out lost skill capes in addition to the holiday items. Why not random event clothing? Because Iffie can store them for you, and if there was a random event clothes seller, that would defeat the purpose of random events.

dreak92 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I have been a member myself and i must say... yes, make them f2p I didn't become member for the skillcapes, i became it for the new skills and such. Honestly, it was really a pain to alch my skillcapes when i became f2p again :( even more, f2p have to work much harder for the cape then p2p.!

RayOxide Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Bank slot? Sure f2p doesn't have much bank space but i think most f2pers would rather just drop their black capes and wear their skillcapes instead... most f2pers have cape, and all a skillcape would do is replace that. I also don't see how it causing an "outrage" would make it bad. You should know by now that their will always be someone complaining about an update. And how would a f2p update "destroy f2p life as you know it"? Thats a bit dramatic. Its up to Jagex to decide if f2p has had enough updates or not, not you. It's true, screw my old cape, I can wear a skillcape! As for the upset in the P2P community, yeah, those guys can whine pretty badly(Not saying that all P2P players do, just that a particularly large amount of them do on the RSOF) , the thing is though, they have all the right to do so. They are Jagex's main source of income, and as such it'd be wise to try and keep them pleased. Why dont we just give you the Fletching skill? Not like its respected in members..

RayOxide Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Yes, f2p should get skillcapes. Explain please. It's just an add-on that a F2P person needs like 5 dollars to get when they get 99s. Not that big-a-deal is it? Furthermore, I am all for F2P getting more stuff, but skillcapes = no. Giving them the fletching skill would just be for lols. I dont need a siggy no moar.

Simply because there's little reason not to let them wear it. Level 99 in a skill is not exclusive to p2p, thus, neither should the cape that displays it.

RayOxide Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 There's one reason. Members need something other than skills to distinguish. Oh, and, just no. F2P should get fletching. Not skillcapes. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 At this point, you're right. We should no longer get them. If we were going to get them, it should have been at release. To give them now, although I wouldn't complain, would not be the best option. I wonder how many people would have complained if they were released for F2P from the start... Probably a quite a few.

Troacctid Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 There's one reason. Members need something other than skills to distinguish. That's no reason at all. There's this myth that giving little things to f2p will suddenly make membership worthless. Frankly, that's a ridiculous sentiment. There are so few f2p'ers who have/will get 99 skills that practically nothing will change. The biggest change won't be for pure free players at all, but for ex-members who lost their subscription and will gain the ability to wear their capes in f2p. You can't just say f2p shouldn't have something because it's supposed to be a membership benefit. It's circular reasoning. "Free players shouldn't have it because it's one of the benefits of membership, and it's one of the benefits of membership because free players don't have it." Well, it makes sense that any player with 99 in something should be able to wear the cape, free player or no. They trained for it fair and square.

RayOxide Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Oh ok Troac, so by your reasoning, we SHOULD give F2P the 'little' things in Members? As in EVERY skill trainable up to about 30, since 30 is little. End story is, F2P arent going to get them, because they are obsessed with them and they will get members just for a skillcape if they could. I'm talking about the ones who follow people around 'cause they have a skillcape. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 How is there a "we" and "should"? Jagex decides. They'll debate whether it's a smart move or not. Personally, I wouldn't care. P2P holds plenty of benefits, and if F2P gets skill capes, mine will still be just as shiny.

I'm talking about the ones who follow people around 'cause they have a skillcape. Skills, even only to level 30, are not "little things". Skills are the main part of this game, as such, it makes perfect sense to keep a percentage of them as P2P. Little things would be more like seldom- or never-used items that we would realistically have access to without doing quests or skills from members, or skill capes. And I agree with your second part. Because they weren't originally released for F2P, they will most likely never be. And part of that reason is because they DO bring in new members. Even if they only get 1 month, that's $5+ that they wouldn't have gotten before. Frankly, that's a ridiculous sentiment. There are so few f2p'ers who have/will get 99 skills that practically nothing will change. There are more than you would think, but I guess as a percentage it is far lower than members.

RayOxide Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 To be kinda honest, nothing important is made until 30+ in almost any skill. I dont need a siggy no moar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Perhaps, but at this point in time, basically any P2P skill (even in the early levels) has something that F2P has no access to. Of course, Thieving is one example to the opposite, since you can just pickpocket until some stalls are opened up. That is another reason they are not little things. Opening up new skills ultimately opens up new items and in at least one case, a quest. Opening up just herblore could lead to a need for Druidic Ritual, Taverley, Members Dungeon which would open up some new creatures, unless properly restricted. That might be the only skill that complex, but that is a quite a bit of new content for one update to F2P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerdboyxxx Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Absolutely, they are, in fact, working on this right now, although it will be a long way down the track. But yes, I believe they deserve them. Noone is going to pay $5 a month to keep a skillcape, so making them f2p wouldn't really do any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarong911 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 as a f2p not close to getting a skill cape i wou,ld like to say that we desreve it because the adds on f2p have to make some revenue for jagex even if its not much its enough for them to give us skill capes and new features more often :evil: oh and mod mark already said they where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know any free player who subscribed to the member's game solely to get a skillcape for a skill that was 99 already? Have you even heard of one? I haven't. :roll: Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unkn0wnwarrior Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I know several. They paid for a month so they used it and didn't go back to P2P after. I also know some who got members after a 99 and stayed there. Skill capes are one of the big attractions to P2P, because F2P has enough of everything else to keep people busy for a while. And it is people like those who are keeping skill capes P2P, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDShafer Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 To be honest, I think we should have skillcapes in F2P. I mean, f2p worked as hard as members to get the 99 skill, maybe even HARDER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
