We want the ability to ATTACH a cap NOT have the same stats as a fire cape. the fight caves would be obsolete for maxed players and the whole point is to make the cape usable for all 3 sides of the combat triangle letting melee scape die down a bit

What the Hell is wrong with all of you? A cape that takes literally 2000+ hours of grinding shouldn't be better than a 30 minute fire cape? There's literally NO reason to get it then.


Just over 100 people out of the several hundred thousands that play Old School have ever achieved max. As much as that is an incredible accomplishment and they should be able to show it off, other players should not be expected to live up to that sort of gameplay to be able to stay on the same level in PvM/PvP.


I actually think people who spend 1000s of hours deserve the best stats.....its just absolutely ridiculous that a max cape would have no added benefit over a fire cape, i feel sorry for maxed players.

It deserves the same stats as the firecape but not being the best overall. There people out there who can't get the fire cape (and yes there are people out there who won't spend the time grinding getting the max.)

Its just a cape people. That cape should be an achievement or trophy, not combat gear.

If the sole reason for them to spend thousands of hours maxing was for a best in slot cape, then they find out that it wasn't going to be best in slot. I guess I would feel sorry for them too.

Let's be real here, the cape is for showing off the fact you are maxed. No one has spent all that time maxing in the hope that one day a cape would arrive that would be best in slot .

People maxed because they wanted all 99s or they want to play for highscore ranks. Some may have even maxed in the hope that max cape will arrive. The fact that it won't be best in slot hardly makes the difference to people who are maxing in Old School, where it takes the average player years of gameplay.
