I think the passive of like max guild teleport on any cape is cool. And a customizer option to change the click options. Though I think passive stats might get a little carried away, still stats are an interesting idea to take away requiring wearing one thing and nothing else.

I like the tiers concept, lets stuff be spread out a little bit. I think you should have more lockdown times like once every 4 months or something. I hope you showcase the art concept since it sounds like you need to make new cape appearances. Cause the skillcape redesigns were horrendous.

Don't remove the max cape as an item and let it stay color changeable. Rename it if you must but keep it on. This would just be skillcape redesign 2.0 where many will hate it and you have to change it back. That's just a pointless change for the sake of change, no need to remove it as a cosmetic. The same for quest cape and mqc keep them as cosmetics at least.

I've read the dev document entirely and for the most part I'm quite OK with the proposed changes, but I'm extremely against the removal of the Quest Cape and Master Quest Cape current appearances.

I haven't even gotten these yet but I'm slowly on my way to completing all of the quests (This is the main reason I play the game now) and just seeing this achievement gone makes me sad. I know we would get new "lore" capes but please let the old appearances of the quest cape and master quest cape available to those who meet the actual requirements for them (Just like you will allow the current max cape and comp cape appearances to be worn in the future).

Hopefully you will reconsider.

I actually like most of the proposed changes. As an "end game content" player i would like some new things to work towards, and i think this would really fill my need for something more constructive to do in game.

However, I am BEGGING you to reconsider removing both quest capes. I patiently waited years upon years for a trimmed version of the quest cape (what I consider the MQC to be). I was beyond elated when it was released, and it's gorgeous. If i didn't need the stats of my comp cape i would constantly wear my MQC (hence the name) around. Questing defines my identity in this game and removing those capes makes me feel extremely devalued. Adding something new, that anyone gets for doing any category in T1 (therefore not having to do the quests to obtain the same advantage), doesn't constitute the massive leveling and time commitments that questing takes.

Those of us who have them worked specifically towards obtaining these capes. MQC has it's own set of requirements that someone wouldn't be able to obtain "accidentally" over time. We've spent hours enduring painful RNG reqs to get lore books that give us little to no benefit in game, unlocking silly requirements to "complete" quest rewards, and so much more. Moving these requirements to a "lore" category would absolutely be fine, but the reward (MQC) should still stand.

TL;DR
Please reconsider removing the Quest Capes, and the achievement locks behind them.

I am strongly against this idea. This will cause a massive uproar. Comp cape has the best stats for pvm, so what do you need to do to get it? Pvm. If people are complaining about teleports, you have ardy cloak for herb patch and max cape for max guild. Well I know that trying to be helpful to everyone, comp cape is not for everyone. Keep the requirements the same and save everyone the headache of scrambling to complete these new requirements for best in slot cape. Lieutenant of Ba Teams

I'm a very old player that returned not long ago. I've been happily going through 10+ years of quests to get my quest cape. I love the look of it and quests are the thing I like the most about this game. I'm only 20-ish away now, and 'EXTREMELY UPSET' will be an understatement if the quest cape as it currently appears is removed. It seems like I'm not the only one as many of the comments say the same thing.

Don't you goddamn dare take away my MQC. If the new Tier-2 Lore cape is going be equivalent to the MQC, then why not, y'know, just use the appearance of the MQC. That cape is legit all that sustains me. I only get on to do new reqs for it. I dig the idea of having an even cooler MQC for the Tier-3 Lore cape.

Everything else is the proposal is FANTASTIC, however, and desperately needed to preserve the game. Continual disappointment is the spice of life.
