Flame_guy3 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 In my opinion i dont think the new capes will last at first it will be cool but when say someone that doesnt have one comes along the first reaction will be "omg! How can you spend so long on a game??? n0 l1f3r!" And the classic and over used "Geek", will skill capes really be that popular? Quest capes will be because doing so many quests isnt that time consuming and is looked at by most of the rs community as way more fun than lvling up. These capes will be a passing thing, giving rubbish bonuses or not much of an incentive to spend so much time on, id prefer to be doing barrows (its more challenging at my lvl) i feel somethings fun when something can go wrong, people will be called no lifer and geek because of the herblore cape they wear or the fletching cape they wear.

Connerr Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I think they will last, high levels dont really care what low levels think. At least i don't. And anyone who says "no lifer" in leet, thats kind of ironic.. Quit - October 7th, 2007.1700 Total, 4 years of RS.^Click for Blog^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_the_great Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 i kinda agree wiv you there, i do think eventually, they'll lose appeal. personally i dont have any 99 stats, and thers not many stats im interested in gettin to 99. The quest cape actually sounds like one of the best out of all the new capes, and i wouldn't mind trying for that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The bonuses will definalty be worth it. The capes will be good. The bonuses will definalty be worth it. The capes will be good. The bonuses will definalty be worth it. The capes will be good... Maybe if I say that enough times it'll make it more likely to be true. Hopefully they're similar to the effects I suggest, if they are then they'll be teh r0x0rz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huta Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Passing? Doubt it. If wearing a 99 Defence cape gets you called a nerd, then 126 would be what, 10 times worse?. Seriously. I know max combat players, and they don't get insulted as much as you'd like to think. People will skill just to wear these capes to show off. As more people level their stats and earn a cape, they'll wear it, nost shove it into some corner of their bank or POH for fear of jealous nubs telling them they don't deserve the cape they trained for. If they don't, jeez, talk about a sensitivity problem. Go train at some popular spot, like blue drags, and see how often people ask "Str?" "Mage lv?" "Ranged?". Stats are admired for the most part by RuneScape players. (What else do you play for?) A cape like that simply proves you have that particular stat maxed out. They won't grow old.

phata_elise Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 So basically, if you have put the effort and time in getting lvl 99 in a skill, you would be embarassed about it towards other players? I would be very proud of the achievement and wear that cape with pride and dignity, knowing that any player making a remark about it, is just jealous.

i123i Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 from my understanding they said skills right? Did they specify noncombat skills only to get a cape? If so, could the combat capes be worth it? If there isn't combat capes, ignore my post :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_Rdam Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 People should be proud on their 99 skills, and those people who say NO LIFER..or somthing like that, are JEALOUS! :wink: Credits to Skully Sc for the signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame_guy3 Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 People should be proud on their 99 skills, and those people who say NO LIFER..or somthing like that, are JEALOUS! :wink: One way of looking at it, but the other way is... it reflects how much time you put into the game...

Robert_Rdam Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I don't really mind. Why should you care if somone knows that you play this game for 1,2,3 years.. It's all for fun, no competition. :mrgreen: Credits to Skully Sc for the signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umega Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've never been called a no lifer/geek just because I have high stats, most low levels I meet say "wow, nice!" when I state one of my skill levels. The quest capes will definitly become more respected because of the constant quests coming into the game, when theres a skill cap of 99. No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

nicrune007 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 why wouldnt they?

Candymann16 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 By your thinking poeople with rubber chickens, scytes, bunny ears and yo-yos 'no-lifed' lots of people have been playing this game for 3 years+ and in that time it would be relativly easy to get a skill to 99, and some people only train a few skills, so thats all they do so dont spend time on other skills which would take time away from the skills they like the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poopingman Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I think its a good idea. Most skills stop being exciting WELL before level 99 is reached. This gives players something to shoot for in those slow, tedious times in the 80s and 90s. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King....

BDave Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Thats idiotic, if you dont want to go for a 99 stat dont go for it, but levels is the bread and butter of the game. People have the desire to achieve 99 stats and if you play it you should respect others who have got a 99 stat, if you dont quit now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B_50_2 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I like to call people geeks when they annoy me. But i don't care, i can have 99 if i wanted to, in my year of playing, it's instead of leveling other stats (combat getting 95) people maye have got 99 fletching or whatever If anyone remembers me...

LucaFalcon Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Probably making fires you make last longer. Thats gonna help me a bundle considering i use a STOVE... These cape bonuses wont be useful when your lvl 99. There not generally meant to be big add to the skill. They're more of a mark of respect that you have achieved a level 99 in a skill.

dutchdreams Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I've seen you post this another thread already as well, with the same contents basically: that you think people will be called no-lifers/geeks. In this same thread you don't want people to know you've been playing over a year. This is not a flame, let me ask you this: why do you care so much about what others think of you ? Are people's opinions about you so important that it would affect your way of playing Runescape ? People you will never meet in person, people you will not meet in game either: just passing-by. These people are one push of the computer on/off-button away. Grow attitude, self-confidence and filter through the bad to get to know the good people, who will value a cape as an achievement. The people that do have multiple 99 skills, are usually level 120+ already and thats more a dead give-away they've spent alot of time on the game (myself included). I walk around in bronze armor at the Catherby fishing grounds as a level 125. The kiddies that start the insults right away, I ignore. The people that actually get the joke of the bronze armor, are the ones I will most likely get to know better. Play your own game as you see fit and don't let others opinions bother you too much (same goes for real life btw :P ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_is_an_avalanche Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Simple solution. Ignore the stupid noobs that say "n0 lyf3r!!!". They wished they had 99 in a stat, so take pride that you beat them to it =D> Attack - 99/99Defense - 97/99 A quest to be the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gehjl Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 A person having lv 99 skills doenst make the "No Lifers" "Geek" etc, i see it as the time they put into it. IE, i would see n0valyfe as one, seeing how he maxed out in about 2 years i believe. Some people have worked hard for a lv 99 skill, while still living a life. While i don't have any incredible skill or anything, i like to play this game just because it helps get my mind off things, and i still go out with my friends Fri-Sun. So i never judge a person based on their level, i can tell based on their attitude how they really are, which i can't stand ignorant high levels.

speedy1135 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 there are 22 skills... and you have legends/obby cape, that makes ?24? capes for ppl like zezima... where do you store so much capes? :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_Wizard Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Personally, I don't really care about the update (When it comes). I have four 99 skills, but I'm not going to rush out to show off my cape. Besides, knowing Jagex the capes will probably have some type of bonuses which unbalance the game in some way or another. And I'll bet a party hat on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
