I'll wait until hardcore iron man and give that a shot. Not interested in creating a new normal account that just can't interact with other players. The added danger of dying permanently killing your character is what will make the Iron Man challenge fun and keep the highscores constantly changing.

QUESTION: If completion and max capes are ever introduced for the true elites of runescape, is a "max skiller" cape possible? To keep other unique player builds, such as myself happy, allow any level combat to wield these.

I always liked the idea of combination skill capes, similarly to the recent update on RS3. If they come out with more achievement capes, they should include those along with an adventurer's cape for those who have completed all quests and achievement diaries. Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

^Also adding.

This will a generous number of the player base, such as myself, a reason to continue. It gives us a true "end game" accomplishment. It gives us the chance to be recognized by the player base for the hard work we do, regardless of the consequences set by our lowered combat capabilities.

I would bet any amount on the following: There is well over 10x the amount of skillers, unique builds and trophy accounts in game, as opposed to iron mans. We have absolutely no end game. No PvM, no godlike gear, nothing.

Your logic simply doesn't make sense to me. You chose to make your unique account build and you wish to be recognized by the community. The thread is about a different game mode, Iron man. This game mode not only allows the player to access most(if not all) of the content in the game, but also FORCES the player to access all of the content. The only thing skillers like yourself are doing is RESTRICTING yourself on the content you are able to access. Jagex wants everyone to be able to access all of the content, otherwise why add it in? Sorry, but you are wrong when you say that the amount of skillers overwhelms the amount of Iron Man accounts that will be created.

I'll debate taking it to the suggestion threads and provide a lot more evidence as to why it's relevant. Also be sure to include a lot of interesting facts! Such as an estimation of players that "quit" due to being skillers (lack of content and end game accomplishment.) As provided above: I've seen 90% plus or minus of the defence pures all quit. None have made it and held it to my standard.

I would not like to devalue the worth of a elite players goals. If asking for a cape as closely similar to the completion/max capes is too much. I could maybe settle on a proposition such as:

A cape that looks similar to a trimmed skill cape. The icon of the cape could maybe be the (Red, Green, Blue,) blank skill bars. This is the same icon that takes you to your skills in-game. Maybe put a 99 in the middle of it or something fancy. Adding custom trims is a potential. The bottom of the cape will "glow" just like the completion and max cape.

This cape would be accessible by any player with 99 in all non-combat skills. Players who have combat skills may still wear it! :D

No bank :O , I love this idea :D . That makes Iron Man more crazy :D . Wish they did that for RS3 too :O

I'm going to guess they will be very similar OSRS and RS3 ironman mode. Both RS3 and OSRS teams probably brain storm together or toss ideas back and forth.

My logic obviously does not make sense to you and you did not read. Iron Man's are "restricted accounts." So are skillers, pures, uniques and trophies. Iron Man is a small niche fad. Just because you see a player in-game with the name "ironman" does not mean they have followed the rules. The community I speak of above is overwhelmingly higher and will always remain higher, regardless of iron man passing or not.

In my argument, I kept academic. I acknowledged like Iron Man's, we are choosing to accept the restrictions. So if a fad can be recognized, I am asking if it is appropriate to acknowledge the bigger community as well?

I did not demand it I asked for relevance.

Note: I deeply apologize to anyone who is not a critical reader and cannot pull the main ideas of a debate. This is taught in middle school and for those who are in 2-years, it is your English 101.

To keep on topic and briefly summarize my POV of the thread.

1.) Add corporeal beast, the players have demanded it from the stone age.

2.) All shields should be implemented into the game. I do not think sigil swords, or other ridiculous suggestions are appropriate replacements.

3.) Divine Spirit Shield kept as is, as well as the others. Mod Reach has expressed an interest in Elite PvM and Raids. When I say Elite, I do not mean Corporeal. Hell, even Nex would be the tip of the iceberg. Think of a boss that is grim to the bones and will hunt you down in its dungeon? Think of advanced AoE combat and minions, more advanced than Nex? Now reflect: Yes, we need higher tier gear to be ready for the future. If any item gets too strong, counter gear, consumables or other options can be added!

4.) Iron Man to me is a waste of dev time. As a heavily successful trophy account, I understand what it means to add restrictions to play style. Because of this, I take responsibility for my play style. Iron Man is a small niche that became a fad when popularized by streaming. I will vote yes only because of a "toggle off" option. I am sick of seeing players quit because the end goal is too much to chew for them.

My opinions. I am entitled to them.
