Toxicologist Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 Amour capes? Did I hear wrongly, or has this person not thought this idea out through, or is it just spam? We already have armoured boots. Gauntlets have been suggested recently. Armoured capes... well, you must know very little about... everything I suppose, or you are simply joking. In that case I would say the joke is in very bad taste. There really, really seems to be an influx of stupid suggestions lately. Why do you resist?

Toxicologist Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 There are things called "joints". I do hope you are not under the impression our Skeletal System is one whole mass of bones... But I see your point. But I might also state that Plate Gauntlets exist, and their agility restriction has minimal impact in battle. Why do you resist?

Armaneth Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The Obsidian cape IS an armoured cape, gauntlets already exist, and they don't need a dragon item that will have stats less than +10 to anything. Even if they did make metal capes, do you know how ridiculously heavy those would be? you try getting a cape made with metal platings and walking around.

Fin_gangsta0 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 1 question how does armor cape protect you? i mean from sides or front of you only protects if someone comes with dagger and hit you in the back lol :) and then armor gloves if they r like on every spot you can move you fingers theres a hmmm "wheel" lol dont know the right word for it but anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammarid Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 an armour cape ... lol it rather kills you instead of protecting you :P why ?? easy it suffocates :D and a cape ... is just a cape i think. it would be great if there's a magical cape or something.

Mc_comix_yo Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 The capes would be sort of.... Well, inconvenient in battle. The extra weight shifting on your back would throw you off balance, giving your opponent a free chance to slice your head off. The gloves (Which are called gauntlets) already exist, in the form of Steel Gauntlets (Cooking, Chaos, Gold modifications), and Klank's Gauntlets. The boots also exist, from Bronze to Rune. Dragon would be interesting, but not really that usefull. Either it would cost to much for a low defense bonus, or it would be to common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shade_bandyt Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 i think this year updates will introduce more pieces of granite and crystal armor. i dont think i want to see any more new dragon items (except the dragon pickaxe, or some type of pick on par with the new axe). i would love to see more granite and crystal armor though. that would be wicked, particularly since mages got something new (infinity), crystal would be a range item, and granite would be good for meleers also i would like to see a ranger cape (same green color as the ranger boots and robin hat) Are you a member with a full bank and cancelling your subscription?

imaerehw14 Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 armoured cape isnt a very good idea.. i mean, how would that protect you? i prepose armoured aprons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilkn1ght14 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 armoured cape isnt a very good idea.. i mean, how would that protect you? i prepose armoured aprons! 0o0o0o0o and armored Chef Hat's With that added protection you should really be able to kill those pesky killing apples in the cooking guild. on topic- If you read (http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=isafdar_arandar.htm Third Paragraph Third to last sentence) in there they say there is even rumour of a crystal halberd So if that is true then pretty soon we can expect some crystal weapons(Not sure about armor do you think People woulkd look good in clear armor :wink: ) and with this other quote Just before Thurgo left the dank cave, he caught a familiar glint out of his eye... the glint of rock. Yes, rock does glint to a dwarf... especially granite. So we Can probally expect Some New Granite Armour/Weapons I can say that this year looks very eventful(hopefully :roll: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgbcowboy Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Armoured capes is a very bad idea. Wearing pure sheet metal on your back? We already have plates.

evanboy70 Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I do not recall seeing armour capes in any period of medieval history Strange, I also don't recall any magic use. Imagine that. If you think anything in runescape can be related to real life effectively, you're sadly mistaken. Last time I checked, there were no dwarves, gnomes, goblins, or dragons. There was no metal called black, adamant, runite or dragon. Armoured capes would work, but would be rediculous, members don't need another update anyways. Plus, lava cape could beat the crup out of a dragon cape any day. All of your ideas would work, but are to unimportant to be implemented. Warriors have enough already, with their massive variety of weapons and armour.

Toxicologist Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Magic exists in Runescape because people used to believe in Magic, and Science cannot disprove the existence of the mana stream either (even though it can't prove it, and most likely doesn't exist). But as it is perfectly logical, it can be implemented in Runescape. However, I do believe Science laws like Physics still apply, so Armoured Capes, as a physical thing, would not work; while Magic, with no ties to science, can. Why do you resist?

Merre Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Well armoured capes doesn't sound so bad after all.

Zonorhc Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 Well armoured capes doesn't sound so bad after all. Imagine they are made from leather or drag hides... :) Just a thought They're still going to be heavy and cause mobility to suffer, and like all capes would be as useful in actual combat as an accordion. Do you know WHY people don't go into combat with capes? Because they give you a huge profile, they snag, they're cumbersome, and it's all too easy to grab it and pull you off-balance. A cape's a great thing to wear while you're on parade in your shiny armour with the plumed helmet and all, but not when you're on a battlefield and someone's swinging a bloody huge claymore at you.

Toxicologist Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Fantasy is one thing, but there are limits to what fantasy can contain, and that does not include serious breaches to Physics and Common Sense, such as Armoured Capes. Do you people seriously think Capes were used for... defense? No sir! They were only used for decoration purposes, and maybe as a protection against cold. Like said before, Capes can cause serious problems in battle. Armoured Capes are stupid, considering you cannot control where you want the cape to be very well (like shields), and also that you would be probably wearing armour anyway so extra defense would be useless (the shield is used for deflecting attacks mostly), and that it would seriously lower agility; which is simply not worth it considering its uselessness. Why do you resist?

But I see your point. But I might also state that Plate Gauntlets exist, and their agility restriction has minimal impact in battle. Most warriors in the middle ages either wore leather gloves, or plate gautlets with chains to slip your weapon hilt through, a fail-safe in case you dropped your weapon. So, practically plate gauntlets would be very pliable to the RS universe... Then again.. we do have lunch ladies offering us baguettes while we woodcut, fletch, or anything else.. so.. who knows..

Plated gauntlets were segmented to allow the fingers to curl and uncurl without too much hindrance. Even though you might not be able to use individual fingers effectively, you can still use the hand to grasp a weapon. And, uh... I don't think "pliable" is the word you want there.

Capes are suposed to go *swish* and are more in the cloak and dagger theme than pretection. The way I pictured capes was more of a normal cape with small (Maybe 1"x2") plates sewn on, so the cape is still "Swoosh"-ey, but armored. The idea does seem sort of... useless though. But then again, in the land of RuneScape, what good are armored boots? There are no "Stab feet", or "Stomp on OoOoOoO's Feet" special moves. I really want that pwnage dragon apron and dragon chef hat! I could cook them lobsters all day in STYLE 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicologist Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 But Armoured boots and gauntlets did exist in Terran History, despite how useless they may seem. Armoured capes, however; did not.

Evilkn1ght14 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Gauntlets are much more reallistic then boots(like the person above said whose gunna poke you in the foot besides a chicken) But Gauntlets were used to protect the hand from being sliced off or at least a little bit more protected so if anything i say gauntlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
