Hi all,
I thought I'd post to answer a few of the questions floating around the forums concerning the upcoming Master cape poll mentioned by Mod Osborne in the 24 hour GameBlast livestream.
Why are you polling this update?
I think it’s fair to say that a portion of the community have wanted to see the full collection of Master capes in-game since the release of Dungeoneering; we’ve seen this through the various concepts online which have been created by you, the players. However, we weren’t sure if a majority were happy with the idea of creating high end goals that only target a certain type of player, as such we felt that polling the update would be an ideal solution.
Would skills be increased to level 120 with this update?
No; skills would not be raised to 120 with this update.
Would we need to obtain the additional Master capes for Completionist cape requirements?
There are no current plans for the new Master capes to tie in with any of the high level requirements for Completionist capes.
Which skills would you be creating Master capes for?
Every skill other than Dungeoneering, as it already exists.
How would we obtain the Master capes?
Players would need a 'virtual' level of 120 (104,273,167 XP) in a skill to unlock a Master cape. They would be sold by the existing skill masters for 120,000 GP each.
Would XP rates be made faster to allow players to obtain the Master capes easier?
No; XP rates would not be changed with this update to allow for these capes to become more easily obtainable.
What would the capes look like?
The new Master capes would look similar to the Dungeoneering master cape, very similar to concepts scattered across the internet which have been created by players.
Would there be new emotes for each of the Master capes?
No; there would not be new emotes with the capes, they would be released with the ability to perform the related 99 skillcape emote.
What information can you tell us about the capes?
- They would have the same stats as the existing skillcapes.
- They would have a 'Boost' option for the specific skill when worn; the same as all skillcapes.
- Each of the capes would be called: [skill name] master cape
- The capes would be in-game items not cosmetic overrides, unless the owner decides to Keepsake it themselves.
When is the poll coming?
The poll will be up within the next few weeks and will require a majority vote to pass. The available options for players to choose between will be either 'Yes' or 'No' to the implementation of the capes.
What other information can you give us about the update?
- There are no current plans to introduce trimmed Master capes.
- There are no current plans to introduce a 120-style Quest cape.
- There are no current plans to introduce Milestone capes past 99.
- There are no current plans to introduce 'virtual' levels to the HiScores.
Feel free to comment with more related questions and we'll do our best to reply or update the original post with any extra information.
Have fun everyone and when the time comes, make your vote count!
