Max Level Cap increased to 120?

[Will H]

The foundations of certain skills needs to be sorted out, such as firemaking and fletching, before we should consider extending them. They're boring enough with level 99, putting more levels will just make the problem more difficult to fix. Also, combat will seriously break, with OHKOs aplenty. My answer is maybe in the future, but not now and not soon.

I would scream even harder than when I did when Summoning came out. Then I'd either be hardcore camping Abyssals, or doing hardcore Slayer. Overloads getting me to 151 or 152 Melees would be so awesome. Not to mention the possibility of "Super" Overloads, Turmoil, Yaks, and Chaotic weapons at 100+ of each respective skill.

[homer205]

Just wondering, why would you be camping abyssals if this happened? Seems kind of odd to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

[Triquos]

I would like it because not only would 99's have their skill slots filled, but since I will never get 120 dungeoneering, Jagex might as well raise all skills to 120 to give us new goals, achievements and rewards

 

Edit: I would also like to have a master attack cape :D

As of this post my EXP in Melee stats are:

 

Attack: 60,211,366

Strength: 27,287,822

Defence: 17,180,817

Constitution: 44,276,849

 

Level 120 is 104,273,167 EXP. I'm nowhere near that in any of my Melees. Abyssal Demons are a high profit monster I could camp for straight Melee exp. Although, on second thought, I should probably do it at Frosts. Or even TDs since that's Strength and Range exp. I would be doing it by Slayer without a second thought though if they added monsters that took 100+ Slayer.

Yeah, but there's some locked skills that need the buff. What about non combat skills getting the buff first?

[Den]

I would dislike it purely because there is barely any reason to get 99 as it is.

Mmm, perhaps. What skills in particular were you thinking of?

[Dexek]

If this happened I might come back to play some more again. This is based on combats being raised to 120, because I enjoy training them to see level ups, but not so much when they're 99..

[Roz]

If stuff was added for 100+ in all skills, then there may be a point to it, but if it's just for the cape... :shame:

 

Only 120's I'd go for would be combat, through slayer, and range through chinning. :ugeek:

[Makilio]

It probably won't really affect me at all; if it does, it'll simply convince me to start playing again.

[Quyneax]

I don't think we need it right now, as some skills don't have content to go to 99. That aside...

 

This game, and others, favours people who can stand grinding, or who enjoy grinding (which is not bad in itself). However I think that Jagex attempts to set a limit on how much grinding you must be willing to take to be good at the game, and righly so. Stats to 120 would very much favour the hardcore grinders, and I think that skill should have more of an advantage. E.g. right now, in, say safe pvp or at tds, skill is (very) important. Now someone with 120 in all combats can probably beat someone with 100 in all combats just by grinding a lot. I think that's not how the game should be.

 

If stats went to 120 and also offered very high xp rates at 95+ which requires a lot of skill, also intellectually, I'd be okish with it. I'm sure extremely high xp rates would devaluate 200m xp though.

[HexiledRazz]

We don't need higher levels to make RuneScape even more of a grindfest then it already is.

 

And plus. An extra 21 levels in all combat stats would be too overpowered for only 1200 lifepoints. Not to mention that skilling levels beyond level 99 would bring about even more powerful content. Further perverting the already corrupt combat triangle we have.

 

With that being said, we don't need higher levels. We need new content promoting the equal skilling of levels. Meaning special, non-tradable items that are made with more then one skill.

 

Say there's a leather body you want to train range with. But, the body is untradeable, unassistable, and requires a certain crafting level to make. The body does not only require dragonhide, but also some Adamant bars, gems, and runes for a magical enchantment.

 

The item would not only need a crafting level to make, but also a smithing level and magic level. And since it's untradeable, and has special effects, it promotes the player to evenly raise his/her skills instead of just going for one skill to make a single type of item.

 

 

So, there are much more practical approaches for jagex to make new content, other then blatantly raising all of the level caps to 120.

 

Although, then again... It doesn't seem that jagex are the people to take a practical approach to... Anything.

But i do hope to see some sort of untradeable content introduced into the game, starting at low levels, and progressing to higher levels. Before they introduce increased level caps. Some day though, i would like to see higher level caps.

[Kata_Phfract__the_slayer]

the problem with smithing is its filled with useless junk no one uses.

 

how many times have you seen rune warhammer, short/long swords, mace, medium helm, dagger, squere shield being used?

if they got rid of half of thouse items, thats 18 or so smithable items gone. now a rune platebody at level 81 is still too high but its better then 99.

 

a few of them should stay in dragon form though (remove dragon dagger? lololno).

 

and for something compleatly difrent: in dunge, t10 requires level 90 in a skill. t11 requires 99 in a skill.

thigns would have to be moved around if the skill cap was made 120, for a start t11 should be moved one level to 100. then you gota add t12 and 13... yikes!

not to mention a rather odd number to end on (who would want a t13 item? :P)

[Quyneax]

I would totally take a t13 item, but that aside.

 

Instead of removing items from smithing, you could make warhammers, battleaxes, halberds and twohanders one speed faster. Makes them a whole lot better. Still not great, I admit, but if you wanted to add improved versions (like super > extreme) you might as well start out with something worth improving :P. Just a random thought.

Mining stops at 85, cooking 93, thieving 95, fletching 95, smithing 99. Other than smithing, none of those skill you mentioned unlock anything at 99 (outside daemonheim), so why do they need to go higher to have more content?

Because OP hasn't even got a 2 k total level but feels the need to discuss "what if" questions.

Seems like 99% of the front page consist of these type of questions at the moment.

 

 

Brb , making a thread "what if runescape never existed"

: / .

 

On topic, i believe they should be working with the content we already have.

People are too greedy these days, always wanting more.

Never appreciating what they actually have.

[sumondskull6]

Wont happen, kbye.

[Dark_Yeng]

If Jagex cap 120 in the future while I quit for life, I'd say bull... My 99's would be nooblish lol!

 

Won't happen, and if it does, let it be. Go with the flow.

[MrGandalf]

I'd like to see it happen, eventually. But first I'd like each skill to have content up to level 99 before any skills are talked about being increased to 120. If it does happen, I'd like to see it happen one of two ways.

 

My preferred release of levels beyond 99 would be incremental. Jagex could "surprise" us with a new level cap of 100 in all skills (regardless of new level 100 content or not) with an announcement of a 120 skill cap in the distant future. They should then release skill caps in between (101, 102, 103, etc.) every other month along with new content for each skill above 99. Each skill wouldn't need content at every level above 99 but at least one new thing every 5 levels or so. Taking 40 months to go from a skill cap of 100 to 120 with new content for each skill along the way would be a great way to encourage people to play the entire time. I'd also like to see a lot more untradeable content because those make the game more fun IMO.

 

The other way I could see Jagex bringing all skills to a level 120 cap is by doing each skill individually or in small groups. If they chose this method, I'd start with releasing 120 combats (Atk, Str, Def, Hp, Mage, Range) to start. This would really create chaos for the game for a good amount of time, but if they released new bosses to go along with higher combat stats, I think people would accept it better. The next batch could then be combat related skills (Prayer, Summoning, Slayer). After that I'd like to see the F2P non-combat skills (Cooking, Crafting, Firemaking, Fishing, Mining, Runecrafting, Smithing, Woodcutting) come next, preferably in two batches. Lastly add the P2P non-combats (Agility, Construction, Farming, Fletching, Herblore, Hunter, Thieving), again in two batches. The spacing between each batch could be 6 months to allow for new content in each skill and it would take 3 years to get all skills to a new cap of 120.

 

Either way, I see it as an inevitability that Jagex makes new skill cap of level 120, it's only a matter of time. I think the best approach is to first have content released along with new skill caps so it doesn't feel like just another longer grind for a pointless level number. I'd also like to see Jagex stretch out the increasing of level caps. Worthwhile rewards for obtaining level 100+ is also a must IMO (ie. untradeable content).

[Squisher_33]

i strongly support 120s, if they dont raise skills to 120 i will definately quit

[Lose No Hope]

Wow, yet another topic. Are you sure you're not Undo?

 

There's already been threads on this subject. Resurrect one of those.

Haha one of the first things that came to my mind when I saw this thread.

[Low C]

Raising combats and stuff would be neat considering I already have them above 99. But 120 runecrafting... I don't think some skills would be wise to raise.
