Honestly quitting if this passes tired of game altering content hope osrs eventually dies out because its no longer oldschool and youre doing what you did with rs3. Firecapes are an oldschool icon now everyones going to wait a week till people learn it and buy a cape off some website and everyones going to be walking around with the new cape. If you kids are getting bored of oldschool go play a different game and come back (or dont) dont change what makes it oldschool. I shouldve quit when I originally wanted to when the G.E came out but this game is annoyingly addictive and Ive already invested a tonne of time and money into this bs. Why dont you all just play rs3...

Yeah this is what bothers me, a lot of players did not earn their capes they paid a website or got a friend to get the cape for them.

I think Jagex should start registering IPs and not let anyone get a cape or play on an unregistered IP to stop the cheating, or do something to make sure the player getting the cape is really the player and not someone doing it for them. Hi.

Am I misinformed? As I look at the poll on '*** 2' I see that it is failing. What, then, is the point of this dev blog? I voted no to Jad 2 w/reservations but I will certainly vote no to this with gusto. But it seems as though there is not even a poll planned? That cape is ugly and skimping on graphics to push content we voted NO to early is a ridiculous and unprofessional move.

I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong and that I've got my info backwards, but from what I am seeing (did I miss something in the text? I need to stop skimming) you're actually planning to upend the voting system?

No thanks, guys. I love your work on OSRS but this recent poll and this particular dev blog have me scratching my head.

I would prefer if Jagex would focus on BiS Magic or Range Cape first, especially range, if they are no longer being rewarded from Jad 2. As of now melee has plenty of viable cape options. Range has accumulator and in a few instances, the 99 range cape. On the topic of BiS range cape, I believe they said it would not have the accumulator's effect which would be a mistake IMO. The cape would have such limited use it might as well not be added into the game. Outside of a few scenarios it would never be used, the only uses for it would be:
1. Chinning
2. Crystal/Karils Bow (which is hardly used anyways)
3. D Bow Speccing

I'd like to see Jagex delay the fire cape 2 until Zeah 3 and instead focus on a range cape with the accumulator's effect and possibly a magic cape with similar rune saving capabilities as the Staff of the Dead first.

I am totally for the Inferno update coming in
February
, graphics are not that important anyways.
But... Please don't make the
Fire Cape obsolete
. I'm not sure what we can do to make sure that can happen.

Maybe require that the player already has a Fire Cape in order to enter the new Inferno Cave. Or instead of a new cape being dropped after defeating the final boss, you get some sort of
attachment
you can put on your
already existing fire cape
.
I don't want Jad to become
dead content
!

I think you are mistaken in thinking most people didn't get their own capes.. Unless you have something to back up your statement?

Also, registering IP addresses would mean people like me who plays at different addresses would not be able to play. sometimes i might be in 3 different towns all in 1 week.

1. I would like to see cosmetic variants of the fire cape and the new "fire cape". What I mean is, I really love the look of skill capes. I love the shoulder pads and the tassels down the front. Make different (at least three) cosmetic styles of the same cape for people to chose. StyleScape FTW!

2. For the new fire cape, Jagex could make some of the black bone look curl over the shoulders or something. Stuff like that.

2. Where is the pray bonus?
