No! Please revert this; the entire point of the rework (or what remained of it) was to make the capes cosmetic. Remove all bonuses.


Just looked you up on the hiscores, and shocker, you're not maxed. Jagex shouldn't devalue things like max/comp capes in order to appease the underachievers that will never earn them anyway. This stat increase was critical to the game, the capes got a heavy stat nerf when the rework rolled around and it actually had a significant and noticeable effect on DPS in a negative way.
This doesn't have anything to do with my being maxed or not, my good fellow. The capes are not devalued by removing all stats. They might be from the point of view of people who use them for their bonuses, but those people aren't the target audience anyway; completionists, who earn the capes just for the sake of it and for fun (rather than for any bonuses in combat), are.

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

That's quite a bit of awesome stuff - thank you for that halo

- It's good that comp/max had been restored to what they've been before the update (so players do not end up worse due the rework), with kiln being an offensive alternative for a single style - which already is a sign you guys are trying to make the cape slot matter again. I hope we'll finally see new capes in the future though - both for hybridding as well as single styles, our capes are 9 years old now after all.

- Big game hunter fixes sound like it might finally be getting somewhere, but I am sure we're not done yet. Looking forward for the new cheevos.

- Mammoth changes sound great, they were a bit clunky after all

- Charos clue carrier changes sound great. Maybe you might allow us not to store caskets in it upon receiving them?

- Thank you for those free wing overrides I might get the other prayer auras for them now.

- Increased chance to hunt more chompies birds is awesome - ardougne probably isn't a diary that needed more buffs (*cough, cough* karamja), but not too shabby after all since players need to earn it in iterations.

Great patch week Thanks a lot for all the stuff - and the others not mentioned.

Some thoughts about the auras:

- Since the daemonheim aura no longer is equipped - are we able to toggle the backhand animation?

- Also seen that the hellion aura is gone now (well since it was disfun** anyway it no longer clutters up my interface) will there also be a chance to re-obtain the dwarven instinct (likewise to mahjarrat). Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Kiln capes are still superior, Because they can also use perks.

The stat bonuses are mostly like applied to max cape > so automatically comp cape.

Not everyone can do kiln either, Not all are pvm masters, a nice stat buff doesn't hurt anyone.

The cosmetics was with the previous rework, jagex scrapped, So i'd say, it doesn't count for the "Butcher" rework they put in.

Even so, Why should a max cape/and/or comp cape be entirely cosmetic, seeing the hours and more put into it? When previously jagex said they'd be cosmetic yes, But they'd become passives.

I'd say keep the buff as it is, it's needed for those who cannot do kiln.
And those who can't do reaper for the passive buff. Someone i know is a memeboy.

Odeo,

I have the Kiln capes and comp cape. I like the comp cape better as their is more work put into the comp cape and should be the best cape in the game pride. Their should be add-ons for the comp cape owner to make them better so they can stay the best cape in the game.... Like soul vails where you have to dip your cape into a pool you collect from a monster drop and boost the states... Their is no reason for any cape in the game to be better than comp!

There shouldn't be, I am comped as well - the previous described rework where they'd be passive bonuses, was a lot better than the current nonsense.

But, in the current state of the game, max/comp did need a buff for those who couldn't do that content - with the current rework (Butchered)

I am not disagreeing comp shouldn't be BIS.

It should have remained BIS or become cosmetic - with all passives applied.*

Not this half-baked nonsense Someone i know is a memeboy.
