[dev blog] Capes of Distinction


miner2006

Recommended Posts

I'd prefer it be called "Cape of Completion"

 

That sounds reasonable. Fits in with the style of the game, whereas "uber cape" really doesn't.

 

I guess that means I'll have a veteran cape, I'm pretty sure I've got 5 years under my belt. Nice. icon_e_ugeek.gif

Most noobs I see probably started in 2008-2009

 

5 years is 06, theres a lot of people that started 01-06, I am willing to say most runescapers are old (as should everyone saying the rs is dying doomsday theories)

You did forget that not everyone keeps playing on his first account created. I am now playing on a account that was created a year ago (been playing on it after summer holiday though) and my first account was created a month before the slayer skill came out. So I would get the 5 years cape on my first account but not on the account I play with now.

I was already going for 90+ so at least this will make me skill harder to achieve it before the update. Thanks Jagex for hinting at updates like this during university time.

im wondering why they couldn't think of a better name than ubercape

The name sure sounds rushed.

Point?

 

"Fantastic super good cape" contains nothing but real words but it doesn't mean its a good name. :wall:

 

The ESPN link particularly puzzles me.

"Traditionally, we have always considered level 99 to be max despite the Dungeoneering skill going to 120. We don’t plan to raise any other skills from 99 to 120, and still feel the max cape should be worn by players with all skills at level 99."

 

Seems new to me, or is this old news?

Pretty sure it's old news, I think they said it shortly after revealing Dungeoneering.

too bad they dont release 10 year capes yet...i could already wear it on atleast 2 of my accounts and other one is level 3

 

2 of my friends are capable to wear that uber cape before they are out but i guess it will be pretty rare sight...price of them should be uber also like 1bil since i think those who can wear, are able to throw 1b easily.

 

i dont like idea of rsc cape if it can be used if you just only visited in rsc which means rs2 noobs that were there in reopenings, can also use it.

I just hope they don't put numbers on capes

If it looked like a skill cape/ 120 dunge cape with V on it for the 5/Veterans I'd still love it.

 

I think skillcapes look terrible :blink: they're 5 years old and need a graphical overhaul in my eyes.

 

Those shoulder pads and that ugly trim ughh :P

Alright, I feel like I've asked this before, but how long has RuneScape 2 been out? ... Because I swear I've played since Runecraft was released and someone told me that RC came out WITH RS2 rather than as an update TO RS2.

AFAIK Runescape 2 officially came out early 2004.

I like the idea of the Veteran cape, max cape, everything-completed-cape but I don't like the concept of a 10's cape, that kind of diminishes the difficulty of getting an accomplishment cape by a lot.

Yeah rs 2 launched mar 04 along with rc.

 

Also I like how so many ppl r saying they culd get 10 yr cape already, think its safe to say by the fact jagex said "they can't" do it yet that accounts from 2001 didn't have sign up date stored and will taken as having been started on the first date they started storing creation dates at some point in 02, hence it can't be done eyt but can be next year.

More than likely they will use February 27th, 2002 - first date of RS members and also the first potential date that account recovery questions could be set - my account still has that date listed on the lobby screen.

lol. That would just confine it to 'people who have played for 10 years and can merch or didn't trade their holiday items within 8 years'. I think they should definately be within the cost range of the 120 cape, the whole point of them is to show that you've been in the game for 10 years, not that you have loads of rs money. I've been around about 9 years and don't have piles of cash to show for it :P

Yeah idea good stats automatically = rich is dumb.

I get by and do things bit by bit but my money making skills BLOW. Sure I prob have 250mil in various equipment and supplies, but I rarely have more than 10mil in cash and even thts only from saving up for weeks.

I don't really think it could be called that. There are many things the ubercape seems to leave out.

The requirements for the cape they listed seem a bit underwhelming for something aimed at completionists.

 

An actual uber cape would have someone do stuff like:

Have max total and questpoints

Complete all tasks

Defeat all champions

Own a complete Dahmaroc statue and Royale Cannon

Unlock Flames of Zamorak, Saradomin Strike, Claws of Guthix and Bones to Peaches

Have the titles of War-chief and Expert Dragon Archer

 

It might just seem like piling on random requirements, but shouldn't an uber cape be something that people truly have to work for? It would barely take a day to complete every task, probably less than two weeks to do the quests, and by then it'd be surprising if you don't have all music unlocked yet.

It just doesn't feel like Jagex put much imagination into it. If it was released now it'd probably be more common than a professional cape.

20 Cape:		    111,750
30 Cape:		    334,075
40 Cape:		    930,600
50 Cape:		  2,533,325
60 Cape:		  6,843,550
Any Skillcape:		 13,034,431
70 Cape:		 18,440,675
80 Cape:		 49,651,700
90 Cape:		133,658,300
Maxed Cape:		325,860,775
Uber Cape:		417,099,510
