Gah... again with the capes. I'm worried that OSRS is slowly going to morph into RS3.

Heritage said :

Everyone is able to get one, the difference is interest.

And the reasons are valid, because the exact same problem happened on RS3 when they cape was released.

You took the words right out of me. When this cape was introduced to RS3, the majority of players concentrated their time into obtaining one which, in turn, resulted in less socialization and participation in activities that were 'inefficient' in favour of grinding XP as quickly as possible. I am really concerned about this happening in OSRS.


In Rs3, the Max and Comp cape became the best-in-slot cape, and many players wanted to get the new best cape. This isn't going to be the case with OSRS. Its only going to have the same stats as a trimmed skillcape, which would make the urge to max alot lower. People arnt going to spend thousands of hours to get a cape with the same stats as a trimmed Cooking cape. When Max cape releases, why do you believe many players would start grinding 2000+ hours to one if they don't already plan to max in the first place?

A few good suggestions that would be cool to have but not game changing so I'll just say my piece about the Max Cape, before I say anything I'd just like to say if it passes or not my aims in the game stay the same.

I have always been one to go for maxing out on the game and I always enjoy grinding if it yields reward, I know some people are opposed to the Max Cape being overpowered which is a fair statement but as others have said it does come with a hefty price to pay to obtain one.

I also saw others mentioning that it's not combat related etc and it's a somewhat true statement, I was thinking and you may tell me if I'm being stupid what if the Max Cape had the same stats as a normal skill cape and gave a (%) experience increase on all skills which would benefit those going for 200m etc then you could obtain a Max Cape (T) by then doing a hefty amount of combat related tasks and possibly defeating a new boss / minigame to gain the right to obtain said cape?

I also saw someone mentioning something harder than Jad, I'd also like to see some new content with regards to that, these would also give people something else to grind besides skilling for the Max Cape as currently in my opinion all minigames and bosses are too easy, I'd like to see some new solo / multi bosses perhaps even in a minigame as I stated before that are ridiculously hard.

Surely that meets both parties arguments well, it would stop those who can't complete the hard combat tasks to benefit from a combat stand point and people wanting the (%) boost on skilling get their benefit and then those who only wish to bank stand with a cape can do what they want also, you could also differentiate between both capes fairly easily so you'd know.

Feel free to pick my post apart but I personally would like the cape(s) but I wouldn't wear something that has no benefit to me combat wise but regardless I'll carry on being a nerd to each their own I suppose. :)

I understand that. However, from what I've read, it seems that a fair number of players are disappointed with the stats and would like it to be the best-in-slot cape on OSRS.

If question 9 passes, please make the Drill Demon random event emotes unlockable by playing that random event. Like how we get the mime emotes from the mime random and zombie emotes from the gravedigger random. Don't give them away for free.

Most people asked for it to have Fire Cape stats or the option to add to add ONE cape on it at a time. So, no, it will not be best in slot, the casuals can calm down, they won't have a cape that's 2% worst than a Max Cape that takes 3k hours of effort to get L.

It's pathetic that people are voting No for same stats as Fire Cape.

Fishing Trawler thoughts:
I'd love fishing trawler to get a big boost, it's a great game, but what about iron men getting the fishing outfit? If there was an "I want more information before I decide" option, I would have chosen that..

For something as important and universal as a support skill outfit.. I don't mind it being extremely difficult to get on one's own, but making it impossible with an artificial restriction is just silly.. And before all the crap arguments.. For some reason iron men are allowed to play other team games that give rewards, which is contradictory anyway.

If you made it possible for iron men to play trawler, even if a tough but possible solo version, or if you made some other even harder or longer way to get the outfit then I think it'd be an all around great update, and one that fishing trawler needs/should have as well.

Max Cape thoughts:
Yes, I would like to see the max cape.. And this is why I voted yes for introduction.. HOWEVER.. The 2 options yous gave for stats are awful choices, I think. It should be better than a regular skill cape (after all it is many 100s of times as difficult as getting the easiest trimmed cape), but not the same as the fire cape. I'm not sure it should be worse than a fire cape, but it should definitely be different.

also vote no to removing darkness in the zammy lair, that's part of the challenge of the boss, don't nerf it for some "quality of life" whiners.
