Fools_Taco Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Moving skill maxes to 120 is raising the bar to high, pretty much making it imposable for a normal human to max out their stats. They will never do it... there is high level content and then there is poop-sock high level content. I would quit if they raised all the skills to 120 max... i would never be able to max out.

Fools_Taco Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 with 120 herblore you could make jesus juice What? I don't think there should be a 120 cap. The 99 cap is already very hard to get to, seriously how many players out there have 99 in all skills? The game needs to remain open to everyone. 99 is already not open for casual gamers, two skills alone take as long as it takes to cape a full character on games like WoW, so where's the need in making this an even more elitist game? Even casual players can be efficient. You don't need to put in ten hours a day to get a 99. And FYI, a LOT of players have 99 in every skill (and over 99 dungeoneering). No they dont... you have to take into account how many active accounts there are and how many people have the stats you are talking about. Im willing to bet if you did the math its less then 1% of the player base have all 99s and over 99 in dung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's because I've been playing for a long time, but I remember when there was only four maxed players, and it was a big deal when another player maxed. Compared to then, there's a pretty huge number now. I don't really consider the ratio of maxed players to "active accounts" relevant, because most players hardly know what they're doing . To put it bluntly, [bleep] off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I highly doubt any casual ever got close to 99's in all skills, since hardcore players struggle at it already. By casual gamers I'm not talking about everyone who doesn't play 10 hours a day, I'm talking about people who play up to three hours at best when they get back from work and such.

Shinobu_Sensui Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yes a possibilty i would perfer if they didn't but they make more money in the long run because instead of having a older player quit they could get a couple more months out of the older player before they quit.

Jabuli Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I hope they won't increase it to 120 but if they do, they had better raise the exp rates A LOT. Getting 99 rc was bad enough. 91m more exp with the current rates? no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to find someone's adventurer log with that set of skills, and I did find one, but I can't see how many hours he played. Maybe if you'd get one, we could calculate how long a casual player would take to max a character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingless Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I will bring a knife to myself the day they release 120 Hunter. OT: It'd be interesting, but I think it'll be back at 99. Unless of course it's a 'massive' skill like Dungeoneering and they can't 'fit everything in 99 levels'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squisher_33 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 idk if im for a 26th skill, im very happy with dung as an end game skill i would like to see as many 120s as possible so yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordkafei Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 If the next skill is anything like the last skill, I'd prefer they just sit back and say the game is skilled-out.

Toad Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 People fail to realize that there's only 120 Dungeoneering because there are 60 floors total in Daemonheim. If Dungeoneering were a 99 like everything else, then we'd only have 50 floors; the developers thought it wasn't enough, so they made the skill 120. And people that fail to see that people fail to see (confusing right), that those floors could have been fit into level 99 easy, with a level every 1 floor then 2 then 1, which would cut it down. It doesn't justify the fact it's 120, "hey guys, we have too much content for summoning familiars", "hey let's increase it to 120". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyMuddy Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Personally I'm all for 120 everything, why not increase the cap? Xp rates are only increasing and it would give them more room to work with. Although I do understand that 120 is a ridiculous ammount of xp compared to 99, It would make it an even more of an achivment than it is now. And they could do it gradualy, so that the easier skills such as fleching and cooking are amongst the first to be placed upwards to 120, and it would take years for stats such as slayer and runecrafting to be placed up to 120.

@Dan3HitU Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Jagex say they aren't but I'm very sure there will be one, the "old skills" to be moved-up in my opinion will be; Constitution and Smithing.

Triquos Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 In my opinion runescape is already starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of new skillls... I mean, dungeoneering is already a stretch as it is, what else could there really be?

Youmu Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I don't think there will be a new skill for years, but if there are, so be it.

Sir_Kurity Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Shapeshifting Could really just be an offset of magic, prayer, or even summoning. Archaeology Could really just be an offset of mining/dung. A skill which could unlock new training techniques from the 3rd age, allowing you to train many skills at once and rewarding you with great new weapons and training methods Another one of those "every skill in 1 skill" skills. Thats not really a new skill, just a new way to train other skills. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skills might probably stay at 99, but constitution might go to 120.No, that would be terrible. It would be ridiculously unbalancing to the game. Sara brews healing 180 per dose? Unicorns healing 180 per scroll? That's pretty busted for PvM. Besides, why would the base HP level cap need to be increased when we already have the ability to wear equipment that boosts our max LP? It'd be kinda redundant to raise the level cap to 120 on top of what we can do already. Read my blog | Follow me on Twitter | Track my XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you take everything that Jagex tells you as the truth (please don't. ever) then it's pretty easy to see that this magical lvl 120 is a way of putting in high end content to already filled up skills, smithing for example. Jagex will slowly start to open up the other skills to 120 when they are needed, constitution for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casual players CANNOT max out in any normal amount of time. Maxing out in runescape is only for hardcore players. You are not even aloud to comment unless you have 99 in Runecrafting, farming, and slayer. Any moron can get 99s in combat stats, cooking, fletching etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
