X_T_H_X Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I'd like to hear what you guys think about the idea of raising the max of a skill to something above 99. This isn't a suggestion, but the spark of a discussion. I'd like to hear your opinions regarding whether or not it would be a good thing to implement or a bad thing. I think about this sometimes. I mean the max damage just seems to keep going up and up... you can knock somebody out with two hits! JAGeX isn't going to be able to put stronger weapons in the game anymore because it will get to the point where you would be able to knock somebody out with one hit. Now how is that fair? Come to think of it... how the hell is knocking somebody out with two hits fair? Discuss. Xtreme iTalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aznmidget448 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I think it would be a good thing because after reaching a couple 99s, I bet people are getting bored. I mean they could max out their skill (200M xp), but otherwise they'll just sit there and have no more goals :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemathonical Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I think it should stay at 99. Theres no point in raising skills into the 120's, its just too much time wasted. And I don't think Jagex wants kids staying up till 3am trying to reach a nearly impossible goal. ^Sir Jem 05-The Bunny Drinking Blog?^ Click it!

The_Fray Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I think it should stay at 99. Theres no point in raising skills into the 120's, its just too much time wasted. And I don't think Jagex wants kids staying up till 3am trying to reach a nearly impossible goal. why wouldnt they? Besides getting to the real thread. I think a lot of signs point to Jagex making the skills go higher than 99. i remember reading a thread on the official forums where the author made some calculations to find out if u had 200m xp in a skill your level would be 126. All of us know that level. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malo2 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 yes, there are some players with multiple stats at 99, but it do few compared to the 6 million f2p and p2p players on runescape. For 90% of runescapers, a lvl 99 stat is only a dream, let alone a goal. Lastfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultrablue Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 This game has been out for nearly 6 years now, time to move on past 99 ff$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJE03 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Personally I think 99 is high enough. There isnt alot of stuff for high lvl in most skill yet anyways so they can still be expanded. [spoiler=Stats:]Updated December 22, 2011: Total level - 1442 - 170M+ XP , Combat level - 115Combat skills: Attack - 90, Defence - 99 (24.45m+ XP), Strength - 90, Constitution - 99 (16.42M+ XP) Ranged - 99 (13.32M+ XP), Prayer - 60, Magic - 99 (13.25M+ XP)Non-Combat skills: Cooking - 99 (13.80M+ XP), Woodcutting - 99 (31.95M+ XP), Fishing - 90, Firemaking - 99 (24.82M+), Crafting - 90, Smithing - 90, Mining - 85, Runecrafting - 60, Dungeoneering - 85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25leaf Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 it isn't so much the 99 max lvl that bugs me as much as the 200 mil xp cap. Just look at all the people maxed at 200mil xp cooking. Being able to move past that would be a big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I think 99 is far high enough and given time scales it'd take anyone (even if you no-lifed it) several years to get all stats to 99 Stats really don't have a bearing on max hits either. Also a while back Andrew or one of the high mod explained that rs is coded on a 2 digit level system. To implement any higher levels would require recoding it all into a 3 digit system and there is no way to do that without wiping all the previous stats Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mememe513 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Well, you can get over level 99 if you take potions, skill cape or special foods. So, in theory, you could probably get level 120 temporarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meb Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I think adding options to skills beyond the level 85 would be a good idea. A lot of skills have no new things to do past a certain level. And there are not enough people with a lot of high skills. Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

confused Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Nah, I think 99 is a good point to stop at. Although if it did go beyond 99 I'd have a sweet thieving lvl. \ ....:::Datasi:::.... ....:::99 Magic:::.... ....:::99 Thieving:::....http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/3741/picture15jm6.jpg[/img:c156a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure_Skillse Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 so what about people taht have 99 in every skill theyll have to wait 7months for a new skill then max that out in 5 weeks then be boed again.i think maybe 126 woudl be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodfleshX Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 99 is good stop, it takes a lot of time to get a skill to 99. Besides, if they did raise it past 99 they would have to change when you get a Skill Cape and people would complain (more so than usual) about that.

Umega Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 No need for 99+ skills. Imagine lvl 500 runecrafting? :shock: No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodfleshX Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 No need for 99+ skills. Imagine lvl 500 runecrafting? :shock: Nonuple Natures ftw! :thumbsup: That's why skills should be kept as they are at 99, the fragile economy would be crippled.

fenarox Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 everyone take a look at this: Also a while back Andrew or one of the high mod explained that rs is coded on a 2 digit level system. To implement any higher levels would require recoding it all into a 3 digit system and there is no way to do that without wiping all the previous stats. that was like 3rd post down, read before you post.

X_T_H_X Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 You are wrong. You cannot say that RuneScape is not currently equipt with the means to have more than 99 in a skill. One word my friend... POTIONS. And even if RS wasn't capable, which it is, then I doubt people would lose stats. Do you have any idea how simple it is to just upload a new piece of code without affecting everything else? It's like php and mysql. Two completely different things, but they go together great. Mysql is where the data is stored, and php is the code that stores the data. Xtreme iTalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mods have said it The game is coded on a 2 digit system Potions etc that boost beyond 99 just work by multiplying affects Also it is true the character accounts are encoded as they r in the 2 digit binary for stats If the game was then transfer into a 3 digit binary for the stat system, it would be unable to load character encoded in a 2 digit binary hence they would have to wipe all stats to change it Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampjedi Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have to laugh at the ignorance here. If we're storing levels as "numbers" then the max would likely be 127 or 128 without massive rework. I also highly doubt changing it would mean a wipe unless Jagex has their data set up very poorly.
