Future Update Discussions

[Ezkaton]

So, where's my BTS? Is it delayed because of Kate? They already have infinite money because they are son of a king. And now they steal my BTS? :F

 

No it's delayed because it's May Day bank holiday weekend in the UK, will probably be out later today.

 

UK been like bank holiday central lately:

Good Friday

Easter Monday

Royal Wedding

May Day

 

Dat 11 day holiday. Personally enjoyed having my dad take 5 days for the price of 11 last week whilst I was home from uni :thumbup:

So classic cape has been confirmed to be useable by anyone who's ever accessed rsc ever. Loses its prestige, but oh well.

That's [bleep]ing [developmentally delayed]ed, but what can you expect with Jagex?

[Hamtaro]

RSC Cape looks cool (with a nice emote too) at least. It would be cool if it were more exclusive, but players who could never get it would rant to no end. I think it was a fair compromise on Jagex's behalf.

I don't understand the mentality of this.

Why should something be super exclusive - why can't we just enjoy a cape even if it's not super exclusive?

It's not like the stats of the items decrease if tons of other people have it?

 

I'm a little confused by this all.

I'm really interested in seeing the stats of some of these capes - and I do think that it's a nice touch to the game.

It's not like Jagex can really keep unloading new weapons/armor all the time - so update something that doesn't have too much variety to it i.e capes.

I don't really care about the stats, to be honest. I don't understand why anyone would think there would be stats on the RSC cape actually. It's meant to represent the fact that you played RSC, not be better than or close to being equal to a Skillcape, Firecape, or Soul Wars Cape. On that note, it should be representing original RSC players (regardless of if they logged in during the 6 month period or whatever) from before the close in August 2005, not players who joined in 2008 that logged into RSC once. It shouldn't be exclusive in the sense of "OMG only I should be able to have this!@!" but rather it should be exclusive to those who, you know, actually played the game.

[DarkDude]

What about someone who created their account in classic in didn't really play until after RS2 came out? Should they get it too then as they didn't "play" RSC? While it would be nice if the cape was a bit more exclusive I guess the 10 year cape will fill that role pretty well.

I tried Classic before it got closed, but not in the "closing period" when they locked it in August because I wasn't a RS Member back then. Since they unlocked it again, I've played on and off ever since. I don't see why someone who quit long ago and will never touch RSC again (or even RS for that matter) should get it, but I shouldn't even though I play it on and off.

 

I think the cape should be for people who visit RSC regularly.

The cape should really represent what it was brought out for- the people who played rsc when it was the main game. Thus, it's a huge insult to those people that players who have no idea about rsc but could login once in 08 would also get the honor. Kindof defeats the purpose of the cape, really. One way i think they could fix it is having your rsc skill total on the cape, as that is still one thing some of us can be proud of.

That wouldn't really fix it for everyone, though. Many characters had their stats wiped due to a bug in reinstating their RSC accounts. Das1330 was one of those players, and he was a well-known classic player.

 

They basically can't fix it because they screwed it up when they re-opened classic.

That would be a neat idea. I'll admit though, mine wouldn't be all too impressive what with me being a young child during RSC and having no clue about efficiency. It would still be a nice way to show who was actually around for RSC, and who just logged in once and was like "lol, no knees, i'm goin back to RS2".

It's everyones own fault for letting their rsc character go- i've actually made an effort to keep mine from being deleted with logging in every ~3 months. The total level on the cape would actually show that commitment, while determining who really played rsc and who didn't.

If the cape shows who has played and cared about the game since classic then saying "Well some of you can have it, but some of you can't because you were focusing on the new version and not the old, so there!"

 

That seems contradictory to me, not to mention unfair.

[strilmus]

If you're going to base the enjoyment of your own experiences on how much other people don't care about them, you're not going to last very long on this planet.

 

I'm still confused as to why they needed to make both that cape and a veteran cape

[Kimberly]

Probably because it has been 10 years since Runescape's release and then 7 years since RS2 was released and they show no sign of stopping within the next 5 years. A person might not have played during classic yet playing a game for 6 years is still pretty impressive. (Or depressing, depending on your outlook...)

I will not wear the classic cape as it doesn't show anything about my character.

 

I would wear the 10 year veterans cape as that one does show something about my character.

 

See the difference? The rsc cape will be worthless as it's just a cape for people who cared enough to log in during the reopening. If it were just for people who logged in while rsc was the main game, having one would be an achievement. Why do we all(and i think it's a fair assumption) think cooking/fletching capes are worthless and rc cape is really special? yeah....

 

I agree that jagex has not dealt with the database of rsc characters well, but it really wasn't hard for anyone who cared about their character to log in enough to keep it from being deleted.

[Kimberly]

Well, I might've cared if I had realized that it would've ever impacted my RS2 character, but I see your point. Thanks for explaining a bit better.

[timmmmm83]

Will you need to complete all champion challenges for completionist cape?

Considering all the other requirements, it would be silly to leave this out imo.

 

Damn 120 dung req, otherwise I would make that cape my new goal in RS. :razz:

[strilmus]

You need it for the trimmed version.

 

According to rs wiki the cape has a non-trimmed and a trimmed version, is this true or just people posting nonsence?

 

this is what it says:

good thing I got that conquest rank back when it was easier

 

have fun cannoning all those black knights in the dungeon

 

(oh, and that poh statue, but that's just a small detail amirite)

[Krampell]

Killing the elite black knights under black knights castle counts as 10 kills each.

I would say the hardest/longest is the Dahmaroc statue, 5k castle wars games, 4k chompy kills and all kill all champions. (For the trim)

Dahmaroc only takes 1-2hours a week for 30 weeks so not a huge amount of actual play time; but fair bit of effort.

4k Chompy kill doesn't take that long as they r fairly fast to kill; I'd say maybe a week tops.

 

Castlewars and Champions though OUCH.

Castlewars will be like 80 odd days of solid playtime.

Champion scrolls god knows how long, most people I know have never even had 1 let alone them all.

I agree with what you've said except for Champ Scrolls. They're actually a little similar to Chompies... You can start and stop killing whatever it is whenever you want, and then it's down to luck really.

Those that I've talked to that actively go/went for them have told me (and my personal experience agrees) a few of the scrolls dropped remarkably easily for them.

Really, it boils down to logging in to kill a few monsters (and maybe getting lucky!) and deciding to do something else or being stuck in CW for 20 minute segments.

 

I'd like to say also that Champion Scrolls have been around for a very long time while the Castle Wars rewards update is quite a bit newer... A full set of Intricate armor sounds far better than a 5k games cape.

I realize that a few Champ Scrolls were added recently as well, but comparing the amount of time added for 3 new scrolls versus several thousand games (a set of T3 lime/black armor as a predecessor of max reward VS 5k cape) is outrageous...

[Obtaurian]

4k chompy kills does NOT take a week. The kills are not fast and it's very tedious. It'll take several months of pure chompy killing to get it.

[Saradomin_Mage]

I'm pretty sure that I can manage 80 kills an hour.

Still comes to 50 hours, which is really not a joke.

Actually, if you completely ignore meat, the killrates hit 120-150 an hour.

^ Shadow is right

 

I myself am also an Expert Dragon Archer. They are actually pretty fast if you do it right.
