[Most upto date list on page 36]

Afternoon all,
Amongst other things, I've been asked to develop the capes of distinction you've probably be reading about recently!
Generally it's all going well and the briefs are making the right impressions on everyone. One major section we are still looking at is just how far we go on the "Completionists" cape. Keep in mind what follows is in NO WAY confirmation of what will/won't be required. Just thought we'd share it with you guys for feedback/thoughts/rage on how far this should go.
So, onto what we are looking at for now:
[MOST UPTO DATE LIST ON PAGE 36]
99 in all skills, except:
120 in Dungeoneering
All quests complete
All tasks complete
All Music unlocked
All Magic unlocked (Mage arena spells +Bones2Peaches)
300+ Rank in Mobilising Armies
Maximum Kudos in varrock museum
All "Hidden" content complete... (Ghostly robes/Shadow sword/Skippy for example)
--- Other things that we are thinking of ---
All Champions defeated
Highest Chompy hat unlocked
Statue completed in POH
There are other things we've thought on that might not be on the list, this is just to give you an idea of what we are thinking of.
So, the questions:
1) What do you think to the above?
2) How far do you think it should go (chompy/champions etc?)
3) Do we go ALL the way, like everything including things like maxing all roles in BA for example.
Thanks for your time, I'm also on ROTM, but I'll check back as much as possible!
-Chris
[Edit]Updated "hidden" section.

So it's gonna be named completionist cape instead of uber cape?
Define "hidden" content Please?
I don't want the chomby/statue and champion scroll stuff tbh but if your talking about a allround completionist then it should be included tbh.
Please exclude mini-games/activities from this Chris coz no one wants to get all ba ranks max cw gear etc. That's just too hardcore imo.
*Or make it so that you need to be ranked in mini-games that should be enough like doctor said

1) What do you think to the above?
You got some nice ideas there, almost like them all :)
2) How far do you think it should go (chompy/champions etc?)
NO, they are boring and dont require any skills, and they are too rare. DONT DO CHOMPY/CHAMPION SCROLLS/50 weeks statue please.
3) Do we go ALL the way, like everything including things like maxing all roles in BA for example.
Getting ranked in all Activities would be a nice requirement ;)
EDIT: with getting all ranked activies + all max total + quest cape/songs unlocked would be the ideal requirements for the uber cape. Cuz it would look ugly when some1 has the uber cape, you look up his stats and he is not ranked @ the activites, why have an uber cape then? lol doesnt make sense. So it would be nice if he got everything RANKED in activies and everything maxed in Skills.

Well tbh I only have the first five since they were in the original post, so yes for them obviously...
I'd say keep all minis out because that is just ridiculous extra time not to mention 300 MA rank is achieved by whoever can lose the most ffs. If it isn't something mainstream with benefits other than saying you did it, I'd say leave it out.

In my opinion, there shouldn't be too many different kinds of capes. I also think it's a bad idea to reward chompy hunters etc with capes. Doing Chompy Hunting just shows that a person is not interested in training skills and that should not be encouraged even more.
I sometimes do play minigames/activities, but that's because I want it. I don't think I should be rewarded for playing those minigames, rather than developing my account by getting higher xp in skills.

If you start with introducing capes for statues and chompy hunters, a lot of people who play ALL sorts of activities will "demand" that there also has to come a cape for what they love doing (I know there's a difference between actual minigames and activities like making those statues etc, but a lot of players will not see that difference).

What I'm also trying to tell is that if there are a lot of different capes in game (which could certainly happen if you also start rewarding players who do minigames/activities), it will become less interesting to aim for a particular skill goal. I think that the 'importancy' of training skills will be pushed to the background in the long run. The rewards for minigames/activites should be kept to an absolute minimum*, in my opinion.

*Just look at penance horn for Mining and Agility, they horn absolutely ruined Agility (Advanced Courses did as well) and that horn should be nerfed, because it's "overpowered" (that's why I quit Agility 3 months after the release of the Advanced Courses (it had no challenge anymore)). People who get 200M Agility with horn now, think they're mega pro, while they actually didn't even do half of that xp (figurative speech).

I think the extra things, statue, champions, MA etc should be added as like a coloured trim.
If you make completing the statue a requirement for obtaining the cape, it could be 6 months before you see any.
My idea is that the original requirements stay for obtaining then there is 1-10 diffrent levels of trim, not sure how you'd display it, like clan ranks going up for however many you have done or diffrent colour trims.
Discuss.

It looks good. 300+ MA only takes a week to get, so it's not a huge deal to have it included. If you want to leave out minigames entirely though, I'd be for that.
I'm against having Champions/Chompy/Statue. These are just annoying D&Ds that take a large amount of time to complete and are completely useless to the game. Not to mention Champions are based largely on luck in getting drops. It would definitely make the cape more rare, but almost to the point of no one having it.
There's really no way to go "all the way". You'd have to complete this WHOLE game, which is pretty much impossible. So, what you have already is a decent chunk of the game.
