New capes... Will they really last?

[jessy87]

this is exactly why i hide my self away in various places when i play runescape, because low lvls cause drama.

 

 

 

 

 

flame, your just causing drama. i dont really mind it on forums because, i could ignore it and close the page.

 

 

 

in the game its a lil worse, and of course i could add you to ignore if my ignore list wasnt full(it isnt)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if you goto the runescape forums about rants, i swear you will see 1 lvl 110+ complaining to the 9 other lvl 90ish people.

 

 

 

 

 

low lvls alway complain, whip dont train str, whip price drop bad! whip this, barrows price go down... barrows repair costs...

 

 

 

 

 

heres 3 threads of low lvls complaining

 

 

 

 

 

Ruining my pure !!!!!!!!!! thanks to marvellous jagex staff who ever came up with the mage staff idea well done u should be fired. If u have your staff on using mage then u wield a combat weapon it automatically goes to defence giving my pure 6 defence which i never wanted. Now my file is more or less completely ruined so the buttons like pretty well done great job i must say.............

 

 

 

Who ever thinks or know that runescape prices r to high lower them sing plz.

 

 

 

 

 

I am completely sick of high lvls thinking they rule the world.Most r nice, some r complete morons. Ive been hacked by em even been threatend 2 be reprted 4 bug abuse by a very high lvl 4 stealing his kills at druid tower and ive even been pkd by alot in the wilde while doing t trails. Some just think they can insult you because they are a higher lvl ,that is just plain rong. Please try 2 set an example in the rs wrld. And if a high "respected lvl" reported u hu do u think rs will belive????Will they say they r rong, no they r most likely 2 put a bad mark agenst ur name. Ever reprted a high lvl for hakking or scamming?Anything ever happened?Were they banned?Did rs reply 2 ur query?NONONONO!Its time all rs player were dealt with with equal respect and punishment !POST HERE IF U LIKE RANTING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!or if u think ive got a point!

 

 

 

btw i just got hakked out of all my stuff so please dont blame me 4 being angry!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

first off, the first guy is over reacting, askin for a jagex staff member to be fired...

 

 

 

2nd guy is being unrealistic.

 

 

 

 

 

3rd guy just cant spell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ban cannons from rock crabs jagex! There is no other good training spot for lower lvls. Pest control is not that good hardly win and monsters are to high. Castle wars you get owned the second you walk out the safe room. Who ever agrees Please reply.

[mini193]

they will. If they give good bonuses or look cool people iwll always wear them. And also most people will not care about the 5 noobs insulting them when they get like 50 saying "good job" or something like that

[tripsis]

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.

 

 

 

I agree 100%. In most cases, when someone comments on your 99 stat, they are in awe.. They don't call you a "no lifer" or insult you. Sure, those cases do come up, but most of the time I find it to be the other way.

 

 

 

And I believe Huta briefly mentioned the whole combat thing. Combat levels are the most apparent "skills" in runescape since they appear next to your username. When you're in a bank with a level 123-126, how often do you actually see them being called "no lifers?" At least for me, not very often. Most of the time I see people admiring them, asking them questions or sometimes even just ignoring them.

 

 

 

Slightly offtopic, but I'd like to commend on the phrase "no lifer." Sure, if you see someone with 99 runecrafting or something, they could have spent two weeks runecrafting for 24 hours a day. Or, they could have been runecrafting for two years, playing runescape 2 hours a day. Would that be considered no lifing? I don't understand how people look at someone with a 99 stat (or even a stat that's just exceptionally high) and assume that they played runescape 24 hours a day to get to that point. Has it ever occured to them that it could have taken that person months or years to get there?

Trust me im used to it lol. I just think hmm you're on the game calling me a no lifer for playing the same game you are on at the moment.

[Stilev]

i think they will last :)

see, trixstar is a high lvl player, with very respectible stats and in a thread where he him self may or may not take offense(like some others who posted) he stays calm and ignores it, he creates no drama.

[admiral_5]

more then 60% of high lvls *115-126* turns their chat off when they play runescape so explain how is it going to stop them from wearing the cape, irather then being nsulted over a few internet words that cant even harm a 5 year old in reality

[Toad]

I don't care what people say i'm wearing my cape/s

 

 

 

Fishing took me ages to get to 99 Cooking was easy though.. str i want to hit hard so i use that getting my defence with it.. and attack i wont use that 1 maybe prayer when i get it.. but

 

 

 

Will you have to pay for capes?

 

 

 

and they SHOULD be better than firecapes firecapes can be gotten in 3 hours SKILL CAPES CANT

 

 

 

Do i care who calls me a nerd and no lifer? NO its my life and if they're judging me then they're life isnt too good either.

[scorpion999]

I think they'll probably last, but I have 1 question... What would the bonus be for the All Quests Complete cape? :-k

[Toad]

Longer at Tears of Guthix i think or more XP per point

 

 

 

Will you loose cape if you dont do new quests lol? ive done all i do them on quest day i dont want to retrieve them everyday

Having quite a few high leveled friends myself, I doubt that 60% of people turn their chat off :P But I agree with the basics of your point. Most people who will have those capes probably won't be greatly affected by it. Because people with high skills adapt to being asked tons of questions and accept the fact that they will get the occasional insult or "no lifer" comment. They learn to ignore and accept it.

 

 

 

Or in some people's cases, insult back :ohnoes:

I'm 123 and i don't turn chat off it's just on friends.. because i dont like random people pming me :-X.. people are just jealous if they make "no life" or "Nerd" comment.. if we are then why do they play?

[Made0f12une]

or the fletching cape they wear.

 

 

 

Discuss.

 

 

 

Whats wrong with fletching? It isnt really that hard to level. It's actraully quite easy, especially when you have another money to buy raw materials rather then get them yourself

yeah i don't let what others say bother me.. like when i was in varrock just recently smithing.. There were alot of people that came up and said things to me regarding my stats.. Well the fact i was wearin a yellow hat wasn't helpin with attention... But some of em were sayin things like "get a life." "go outside." and some were praising the fact that i have some what decent stats.. I think my stats are really terrible for how long i've been on this game.. This may sound really lame but i take pride in my 99s only got 2 so far 5 more on the way tho. :) Atm i have 10 stats that are 90+. 7 of the 10 are 95+. i don't play everyday for like 10hrs thats not healthy... Lol I just don't let what others say bother me i play this game to have fun and people talkin smack doesn't effect that... Like you said Jessy low lvls start drama... I don't let their drama get to me i just tele away or continue doin what i am doin without confrontation

 

 

 

 

 

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.

it's been about 50/50 for me most say "Nice!" but there's a few that try to push my buttons about my stats... I'm not sayin that i am good or anything. I don't think my stats are very good at all.. I'm actually kinda glad about the lvl 99 capes.. I could be nuts tho lol

[Pokeync]

I think they will be a big hit for a few months, but will die down after about 5 months.

[hurl]

I like the idea of something that will represent your achievements, but I don't think the design or style of the capes will look that great.

[Arsenes]

Trust me im used to it lol. I just think hmm you're on the game calling me a no lifer for playing the same game you are on at the moment.

 

 

 

lol, that's exactly how I see it.

 

 

 

To the flame kid who made the original post, you've spent 4 pages being obviously jealous that there is gonna be a new cape that you can't buy. If you are embarassed that you've been playing for over a year then quit. I couldn't imagine being so insecure that im embarassed of my hobbies.

[j00b]

the new capes will be amazing , jagex will not realese some rubbish items to players that have reached a 99 in a stat...

 

 

 

it will probably be better then the fire cape , since..a lvl 50 can get a fire cape , not everybody can get a lvl 99 stat...

 

 

 

i bet the hard ones like prayer , herblore , agility will all be looked apon very highly by other players :D

[chibois]

i agree that a good amount of skill capes wont serve much use, rather lookin forward to the combat capes tho. still some of the stat capes could be nice if you intend on usint that skill as a source of money, catchin fish faster or choppin trees faster for instance would be nice

 

 

 

i do agree that a firemakin cape would be useless but then again the firemaking skill itsself is useless, almost as useless as body runes.

 

 

 

yes the capes will lose their zeal over time, fire cape losts its bragging rights a good while bac, too many have em. d-chain isnt near as revered. a santa isnt all that impressive but who cares?

 

 

 

you earn 99 in a skill for self satisfaction, the cape is just icing on the cake, a pat on the back, and of course a nice way to show your dedication to a skill.

[Omali]

MY question is: Is clicking in front of the computer for countless hours really worth that pixel cape and the title of geek from the irl friends you have on runescape?

 

 

 

Too late, I was branded a long time ago and am just fine with that. In fact I have more friends nowadays than I ever did because the friends that I have showed me how to be more social while still being myself and not bending over backwards to satisfy someone else's ego.

 

 

 

But yea. I think it was the Star Trek box set on my wall that did the trick. Most people don't even know I play runescape. Those who do, either play it, or don't care and are cool with it.

[callum6052]

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.

 

 

 

Well done, that's what went through my mind. =D>

only skillers do that and they usually arent high leveled to be noticed, most high levels find it very amusing

 

 

 

this cape will finally tell people im 99 str without them asking me my level constantly, its so annoying

[H_789789]

Ok When I Used To Play Most People Were Mature Enough Not To Go L1k3 T3h 0m33Fh'1nG g33 Y0u t3H uB3r g33k!10n3!! Mmmmk? Not Sure If Miniclip Changed It So Most Rs Players Are Like That But Seriously What The Hell Would You Make This Worthless Spamful Topic Oh Also Flamefull. People Aren't Going To Care If You Have A Level 99 Stat For Christ Sake This Game Has Been Out For 6-7 Years Of Course People Are Going To Have Level 99 In Skills. :-s Oh Yeh Anyone Above The Age Of 3 With Half A Brain Would Have The Maturity To Realise That People Don't Spend Their Lives On A Game. See People It's A Game It's For Recreational Purposes I Highly Doubt Theirs A 60 Year Old Guy Who's Ruind His Life On Runescape And Living In His Mum's Basement. Also When I Used To Play I Got People Going

WHOAH!!! HOW DID YOU GET SUCH A HIGH LEVEL, YOUR SO COOL CAN I HAVE SOME FREE STUFF!!!

:-s Really Any Sensible Noob Wouldn't Waste His Chance Trying To Get Stuff By Calling Someone Higher Than Him A Geek or No Lifer.

[Deiophobus]

I have a problem with people insulting me in real life, even my friends, I take it way too seriously, but I really don't give a [cabbage] what anyone on runescape says, especially if they say it in leet lol. I should try for 99 wc, 91 now
