buffrichie Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 With new weapons, effigies, monsters giving you 100 noted rune ore, double xp weekends, is it time to raise the level caps to 120 like dungeouneering.. I personally think its essential to the games growth in the near future but what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jettrider Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Much discussed...they'll do it eventually but not anytime soon. And it won't be 120 everything all at once. 2496 Completionist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonisk Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 YES! It's long overdue, especially given all the 100+ obstacles in dung. Quite frankly, 99s are incredibly fast & easy to get now so they've kinda lost their value. It's much nicer when you have things to stride for. Positive growth for the game should include other things besides more grinding, so nty. All content ultimately leads to grinding >_> Only exceptions are minigames, which aren't as popular as main content (except for minigame skill dungeoneering, but only because that's a skill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBeaver Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Unfortunately, I think this will be inevitable as more and more players max out and Jagex attempts to keep them interested. The alternative would be to release new skills or skill-like content yearly at a minimum and probably more often.

Winarr Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I believe it is time for the level caps to be raised. The amount of xp required for 99 now, doesn't even come close to what that amount of xp meant 5-6 years ago. For instance: On my first rs account 2001-2005, I maxed out melee training at ogres under the druid tower near ardouge. Xp rate there was 30-50k/hour (used a dlong, d scim/whip wasnt in)On my main account now, melee xp (semi afk mind you) is up to 100k/hour. Now meele perhaps isnt the best example. For those who played 5+ years ago, stop and think at what high level stuff has been introduced and how training methods have changed in that time, most importantly how xp rates have changed. Getting a 99 these days, pales in comparison to the TIME it took when there werent crazy xp rates available. Especially for those at the higher end of the total/cash spectrum, this certainly needs to be implemented in some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMuddy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I think it should still be a few more years untill this happens. After all some skills still have some pretty low xp/ph and lots of space for more content. Really I hope they somehow revamp skilling soon because I feel skillers still need some place in this game.

predator1030 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 If they did raise the level caps to 120, what do you guys think would happen to those with 200m XP in a skill? Would they automatically become level 120? Or would lvl 120 require more than 200m XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphanos Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 No, this is not even close to being needed. At the time of writing, there are 301 maxed players in all of Runescape. I can't be bothered to look it up, but I believe that another thread had figures showing there are somewhere in the neighbourhood of 8 million at least semi-active Runescape accounts (including F2P of course). Even if we only look at the 2 million listed in the high scores, that means raising the level cap would be catering to 301/2,000,000 = 0.015% of players. These are the only players who can even begin to claim that they've exhausted the existing content in Runescape, and of course this doesn't consider the many possible minigame goals - just as one example, getting the high-level Castle Wars armour is no small undertaking. If you are not maxed but you want more high-level content anyway - what reason is there exactly to make it above level 99? We have plenty of skills which need to be revised even at low levels, such as smithing, before Jagex should even begin to worry about adding level 100+ content. Once everything's in good shape at the levels which the majority of players can actually play, then they can take the time to ensure there's room for growth at the top. I would guess this should happen five or more years from now, at the earliest. Additionally, arguments about how experience rates are now 2x faster don't justify an 8x increase in the amount of experience which has practical use. Maxing should be a very difficult, but at least potentially achievable goal. If maxing takes 2.5 billion+ experience, Runescape would become a game that is essentially impossible to "complete". Only one player even has that much experience after 10 years of Runescape running, and much of it is in easy/quick skills rather than distributed among the harder ones as 120 maxing would require. If anyone has a figure worked out from the 200M all skills thread for how many hours it would take to reach 200M all skills, that would be helpful. In this case, it would take half that amount of time to achieve 120 maxed status. Bear in mind that around 2,000 hours is equivalent to working a full-time job for a year, and I'm pretty sure the 200M all figure was well over 10,000 hours....

This.There is no need to cater the "top) 0.0X% of players. Effectively, there is little need whatsoever. Also, there needs to be 99+ content, and as far as weapons are concerned they'd be VERY powerful and imbalance the game. Other data was removed when acoount got hacked...

The game will probably suck in terms of game experience, but hey, you'll be able to program quite well. Achieved quest (07/08/2009), woodcutting (28/06/2010), attack (21/07/2010), strength + constitution (07/08/2010), defence (26/09/2010), summoning (13/01/2011), herblore (03/03/2011), cook (31/08/2012), firemaking (01/09/2012), magic (08/09/2012), prayer (16/09/2012) and ranged (29/10/2012) capes.

Now, step outside that box and think Jagex. *snort* The Wildy was brought back for reasons that had nothing to do with upgrading "content" ... There are a LOT of other things that can be added to the game without adding the necessity of grinding out more skills to 120. There are more skills that can be added, vast improvements to other skills (like SMITHING :rolleyes:) and a wide-variety of high and low level content that can be added. Hell -- where's these "Eastern Lands" we keep hearing about? When will they upgrade/update/finish Prffiddnas (elflands) (sp?)? Honestly -- we need more 120 skills like we need another hole in all our heads ... <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
