going past level 99

[Range_This11]

I always thought that it would be cool if they revamped the Achievement Cape system.

 

 

 

Instead of just handing out capes at 99, make the achievement cape only purchasable at 15 or 20m XP.

[Blutters]

So any Jmods interested in answering this? (wonder if there are others who have thought of this for the future of their runescape play?)

 

 

 

Yeah, because tipit is just crawling with Jmods eager to answer questions here.

 

 

 

Currently the only point of going above 99 is for a good spot on the hiscores. If you really want to know what a j mod said about this, here goes.

 

About two years ago the #1 fletcher who was at 200m exp made a rant on rsof wanting a higher xp limit. A J mod later responded saying the 200m limit would remain for a while and that they would only reconsider changing this if more players hit max. Today not many skills hit the 200m limit and those that did only have a few maxed players. So until we start seeing several hundred players with 200m in several skills, I doubt Jagex will feel the need to change the max.

 

That's the max XP though, not the max level.

 

I believe someone on this thread said earlier that it'd be level 126 at 200m XP.

 

What would be the max hit then...?

[Fellfrosch6]

Forget raising the cap.

 

 

 

What they need to do is give a use to actually getting level 99 in the first place. Most skills have nothing exclusive to level 99 skilled players and the ones that do are extremely pointless things like being able to smith a Rune Platebody. You usually max out at around level 94 anyways.

 

 

 

They need to make leveling more interesting and more rewarding.

I remember reading that too, and it had something to do with the fact that 126 was the max combat level back then too. I don't see 99 being changed, and I don't see achievement capes being changed. I can't even remember how long I've been playing, but it's been a very long time. I don't have a single 99. :P In fact, my max level is HP at 91, with a few levels not too far behind. I don't think there's even a need to go beyond 99, unless you're a seriously hardcore player of this game. I don't see how it could be fun grinding to get 99 in every skill, a lot of which you probably don't even enjoy that much. Going past it and getting 200m exp? I think you'd have to REALLY like that skill. :XD:

Skillcapes let you get to level 100.

 

 

 

Seriously though, no they shouldn't, and won't. If you want a challenge, go for 200 million xp in a skill.

now see if the ceo of jagex posted that about "we will raise it but it may take 10 years" i would never complain or whine again and id even feel reassured to play 10 more years

 

 

 

I highly doubt Runescape will be around in 10 years.

[LambShankz]

what do you do when you complete a game? You find other ways to entertain yourself (could still be using the game), or wait for a sequel. you dont throw the disc at the programmers and say "make it harder pl0X", when it gets to the point when every noob is maxed (uh dont see how that works :? ) runescape will much likely have a sequel.

 

 

 

Runescape is a sequel, but anyway going above 99 might happen but atleast for me 99 is impossible as it is so I don't see the point in raising the cap.

[XSniperX]

I remember reading that they would increase above 99 once someone has 99 in everything but guess that isn't going to happen :P

[Calzer101]

If you study more about skills you will realize its possible to go pass level 99 but there will be no level difference, For example if you ask a person (Preferably with a Earning skill Strength, Woodcut Etc) who has over 50M Exp in it, they will most certainly tell you that they can hit higher then any person with 13m Exp. Also a person can get up to level 126 in a skill (200M Exp) but the level still showing 99. Jagex must have some sort of calculation because the old Max combat level is 126 and that is being at 99 in all Combat skills, So if you had 200M in all combat skills you would most probably be somewhere around level 152 if not more (Taking into consideration that 4 Combat Stats = 1 Combat level). :

 

 

 

EDIT- I was beaten a couple pages ago CBA to read :lol: Hope I cleared things up though

 

 

 

EDIT2- Also I'd also like to tell SwiftKit users there is a special ability in the high scores utility allowing you to see Exp to level 100 (Skill here) etc going all the way up to 126. Just look up Enrix E B and his look at his range level.

Even with a 10% yearly decrease in the player base, you will still have around 40-45k players playing at any time in 10 years. There are still a couple hundred old timers playing classic and the game hasn't been upgraded for nearly 5 years. The game might not be at the peak it was when we had lots of macros, gold farmers and pkers, but the player base is definitely of better quality.

 

 

 

As for going back on-topic, I'd love to see the cape raised one day once they fill the gap on some skills like herblore (upgraded super sets would be nice), farming (new herbs, fruit trees, bushes...), fishing (something between monks and sharks, requiring a quest with better xp rates than monks and something higher than sharks healing 25), hunter (impling higher than dragon, black chins anyone?), etc...

 

 

 

What they could do is raise the cap gradually, like once a month so everyone has the month to fill the gap and be on the same scale as the rest. This would be an incentive to train those skills and not give a huge boost to those who already have the required xp.

1-~70 is only about 1 million xp. Once you reach 92 you are HALF WAY to 99, and when you are 99 you have 13/200 of the way done for you. When more then 10,000 people have ~150 in alot of skills THEN it should be increased. However, I think they should focus on things at 80+..

I agree they should focus on 80+ first but we don't need to have 10k people at 150 mil xp to raise the cap. Anyway, at the rate it is going for a skill like cooking, I expect we'll have at least 100 players at max xp by the end of the summer.

And sequels can't get sequels?

 

Uhm look at final fantasy :P

[Albel]

I went past 99 woodcutting for money ( i think 13.7mill xp? not a lot past but yeah :lol: )

 

Firemaking just for the heck of it, to get a higher rank. Most of time people go past 99 because they love the skill, or as others said for the higher rank.

[Star_Fox]

i'd really love to have my attack at 108...cause thats how much 59.3m is apparently.

 

 

 

99 is a respectable max aside from the combat skills.

[Talset65]

21.3m Runecraft exp due to geepee greed.

 

28. something mill in craft purely for front page back in the days.

 

 

 

:D
