they've been making several skills easier and easier. I'd imagine if they were to raise levels that they wouldn't necessarily adjust the leveling system, but would adjust the rate of xp you can get.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It would be a major revamp if they ever did this, and tons of things would change... RS3 perhaps? :P

 

 

 

omg i don't even wanna hear about rs3 right now

 

 

 

all the rs2 product then

 

 

 

AW MY GAWD PMG88!!!! LOOK AN RS3 PRODACT@@@@@@22

Raising the cap over 99 would be easy, as the smallest piece of information that can be stored in a computer without using binary fields is +/- 127 using signed and 0-255 using unsigned bytes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The problem would be in displaying the data, as the stat (skill) fields are currently set up only to display 2 digit numbers. This is what would require a "complete rewrite" of the game, or actually only the user interface, or perhaps even just one part of it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now is the time Jagex, put all the combat-related (and a few others) "skills" on a page of the info box, and the rest on another page. You could even put in bigger graphics than those tired old ones.

Naw, forget lifting the caps, its time to start a new game.

to the noobs out there, no id rather not get 99 in all skills...... id rather not get a life bec i like mine and yours stinks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heh.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the topic i think it would most likely discourage new players from serioulsy training a skill. And tht wouldnt suit jagex interests too much would it? They are constantly making things easier for us..... so why expect a change of trend?

My skills regularly go over 100.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At least my combat skills temporarily do everytime I pot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I was lower level I thought they'd be capped at 99, but they're not, so for all practical purposes your 'live' skill can be over 100.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is the minor cosmetic issue of fitting an extra digit in, plus possible game balance issues from higher levels, but it wouldn't affect anything dramatically - a lot of skills aren't particularly affected by level anyway (crafting, fletching etc).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd say keep the current progression though, and I'm not that fussed about whether it is changed or not.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know about RS3, but I would like better client. One not based on java, but on OpenGL or D3D. I know people will say what about the people running on 6 year old computere, but the graphics are really that much out of date. I wouldn't even mind paying an extra $5/month to get that either.

this is something that has botherd me for a long time. Im at the point now where ill be getting my first few 99s (hopefully). So i just now sent in a question to jagex and will post the answer on the whole subject when i get it. i just hope they dont send me some stupid unusefull answer as like they tend to do. :?

it is at 13+Mil xp already nobody is gona get the 20mil needed for 100 in every skill. Most players dont even play long enough to get 99 in one skill or atleast 70 in most.

If we would do that, we should make it atleast archievable, Maybe 105 is a Nice start, that would take quit alot of time to get to that level to.

:) ok lets say they will raise skill cap. what will be use form lvl 105 cooking or 109 fletching, when top item in mosts kills is at lvl 85. exception smithing and crafting. some skills don't even need that high to get able use top item. i don't see use other that cmb to raise skill cap.

The reason is for expansion of the game, if you are a die hard fletcher you may want your level past 99, so raising the cap also allows room for futher updates in those skills, so if the release more bows or arrows, then it will equal out with combat, it just makes sense to remove the cap for expansion of the game

Jagex has stated many times that it isn't possible to raise the 99 limit without completly redoing the system which would require a complete stat reset.

 

 

 

Correct.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you're bored entertain yourself with other areas of RS. If you don't want to train the 'lame' skills or PK, then Rs is not the game for you.

the problem is that people like zezima and others who are already well past 13m exp will already be at level 100 in most skills, and would hit level 100 in every skill in about a month. then what? raise all again?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

nearly all the players who have a lot of level 99's have been playing for 4+ years. if after 4 years youve exhausted everything the game has to offer, then, realistically, its time to move on. you're 4 years older, and you have seen and done everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

then, raising skills to level 100 make no sense. what could we possibly smith that needs higher skills than for a rune plate?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the only thing that can be done is what jagex is already doing. expanding the game by adding new quests and areas. people that have 99 in all skills dont need more skills, theres no point to training and leveling beyond that. new monsters and minigame challenges, thats better than level 100 stats

And what would they raise it to? 120? 150? 999?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For 999 you're talking trillions of exp, probably much more. Hell, lilyuffie88 has enough total exp to get just one skill around lvl 130. I really don't see this ever happening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah? So? Is it really nescicary to get to level 999? I'd think Zezima and Lillyuffie would be happy just to get past the 99 mark; which would add lots of levels to their totals (and would make lillyuffie better than Zezima :lol: )

Jagex has stated many times that it isn't possible to raise the 99 limit without completly redoing the system which would require a complete stat reset.

 

 

 

I may not have 99 in any stat(I'm lazy lol) but I don't wouldn't want my past 5 years of work reset. And I'm sure most of the RS community feels the same.

 

 

 

So unfortunately I don't see this happening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's exactly right. I'm a software engineer and those quantifiers are used in a lot of places... IMO, The 99 stat limit is here to stay as everything in the game would have to be reworked for the higher limits... monsters, hit probablities, ore rates, log rates, etc...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your asking for a redesign in not only combat system but all systems.... if they just added levels then they have to clean the slates so to speak or If they write conversion of some sort the people at the top would be in the same boat...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This for one reason is why Jagex keeps adding new skills, new areas, new quests and updates... to keep higher level people returning.

jagex will raise it because they allow 101 with pots and stuff.Thats a clue they will.Jagex doesnt know what to add to the 100+ skills yet.

i duno.. maybe you just have to accept that you have completed the game. And there is that thing, you know all good things come to an end?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Im MILES away from that though. :s

They will increase lvl cap if they want this game to continue- everyday more and more player get 99 in a skill.. Also they will need to increase the cap if they want to bring out stronger monster and better weapons-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One of the most famous mmorpg have decided to increase their lvl cap- not sure i can mention it on here but

 

 

 

WOW :roll:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is fun

I think that Jagex should bump the 99 max lvl to 999. This way people will play much, much more trying to get that 999 for years. It would be a very profitable decision for Jagex. :wink:

No it wouldn't, as they could get the same thing from making a lvl 150 max... At level 150, it would take billions of exp.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think that they will move it up for a couple reasons.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dragon armor and weapons are coming out, eventually, there will probably be dragonite ore and bars. Rune plates require 99 smithing to make, so how would people make dragon armor?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once all dragon armor is out, they might make Dragon (t) and (g)... This would require a whole new level of clues, from monsters that would b nearly impossible to beat with only levels up to 99.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, many many people as mentioned earlier are gaining 99's in levels eveywhere. There couldn't be 10,000 Zezimas... there has to be something to reach for.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

More, harder quests, more armors and weapons, more skills, more monsters, are all things that might eventually have them boost the levels up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, once you get to level 99, it sais, "Next level at: whatever exp." Is this a forshadow that there will be a next level?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until they do anything, all that you can do is just make a lot of money, stake, pk, do all quests, try to do random things, have partys, help people, make a different account, get a life outside of RS, and I guess there could be more... :roll:

I'd at least like to see them go to 100. Higher would most likely be very difficult to achieve.

the point is funny since alot of the people arguing for 99+ expansion dont even have 99 in something.

It's not possible, that's why they are working on another game :wink:

Sorry adunakhor, Jagex just couldn't keep up with you.

 

 

 

They got many more customers to please now.

 

 

 

Maybe its just time for you to move on. Game beaten...

I agree. Maybe you can just hope that JAGeX will come out with new skills further down the road that will be to your liking.

They've filled up the skill graph thing... it would be wierd having either smaller ones or a new page, what did it look like before slayer came out? anyone have screenies?
