Runescapeking Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 If there is hard leather body why isn't there any hard leather chaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberry13 Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 maybe jagex just thought they would be too hard to walk in maybe? :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Oh yeah, and a flexible pullover metal garment and matching pants give protection just because they're coloured light blue? And one-handed double-bit battle axes? Don't call up JAGeX on realism.

archimage_a Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 yes i am forced to agree with Zonorhc on this, runescape is making millions why bother adding something that only noob f2p will use http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnightVeng3nce Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 :? What's up with the topics today? yeesh....they have studded chaps, if the chaps were hard no possible way to move. Resulting in total encumberance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archimage_a Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 good point but since when has that stopped jagex from doing anything http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domovoi Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 As said before, it'd be impossible to move at all in hard leather chaps. They ain't called hard for nothing :wink: Domovoi123-Level 80 f2pNoxious 0ne-Level 46 f2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crim_nimora Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 and zonhoric or whoever the legs arent solid metal pants. granted they arent exactly easy to run in like the game shows it is better than having stiff pants that would feel like theyve been soaked in paint and laid out in the sun for a year yes well bubsa dont complain about this post being old if you posted on it with just that to say while also keeping it on the current boards for a while longer.

They are. They're skin-tight metal pants with useless knee protectors. There's NO way those are pieces of plate mail leg armour.

Crim_nimora Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 yes and under the knee protector it has a joint. much like your knee itself. so unless your knee bends backwards (hey thats for you to know I dont care) then you shouldnt have a problem. and if your going to bring up one pair doesnt fit everyone perfectly this would also be wrong due to the fact that avery charector in the game is the same height (which is a tad boring dont you think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Robere Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 You know....all of this thread is really too minor a thing to get worked up over......thats means YOU, Crim Nimora and Zonorhc :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crim_nimora Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 whos worked up? I was meerly stating how the leg works with the platelegs as the joint bends, and how this is easier then walking in something that would barely bend at all. unless you have some serious condition in which your knees bend backwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Have you, sir, ever seen a suit of plate mail? The leg armour isn't solid and skin-tight as Runescape seems to think it is. It's bulky and is made up of more than one plate, and only protects the outside and front of your legs. I don't care if there's a join behind the tiny circular knee protector that couldn't protect anything at all. That's not what I was criticising. What I WAS criticising was the fact that the leg armour is made of solid pieces of metal. How do you put it on short of having to reforge it everytime you wanted to equip it? These things aren't worn like pants, you know. Varrock Library: Shattered Sky | Silent Thunder | The Emperor's FinestAstri @ MythWeavers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godslayer Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Just don't...argue with Zonorhc on these matters. He wins. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crim_nimora Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Oh I thought you were basing the difficulty to walk in real platelegs nor rs version. I suppose this all depends on how you look at it rs version platelegs would be harder to walk in than hard chaps. But out of rs the platelegs are easier then hard leather chaps. its just a matter of how you look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonorhc Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I'd saying having hardened leather leg armour wouldn't be too bad to walk in, if it's designed properly. The only way to make it a viable option is to take the plate mail approach - use plates of the material to cover vulnerable muscles and blood vessels. Bascially, all you need to do to get hard leather leg armour is to add hard leather plates to existing leather armour. There'll be added weight, but there's also added protection without much loss of mobility.

Crim_nimora Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 provided you keep the knees and back of the legs not hard I'd say it would be fine. But I think he was talking about the current designe just harder. eitherway it still would be a rather useless item for newer players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
