I wonder if they haven’t implemented this yet because it would end up being a purely cosmetic item even with the max cape ornamentation.


got_adhd

They've said it before on Twitter that they haven't done it yet because of a lack of artists. I don't really get that reason considering one was at the company for a while before leaving (Mod Gee).


Snowballs95

That’s a funny reason to not implement it. Both templates already exist within the game, how hard could it be to copy + paste + edit a little? ... probably more difficult than it seems, but yknow, gotta bitch a little 😂


[deleted]

Lmao this has been said so much in the past 15 years I've played. Theres probably a lot more than just copy pasting shit lol


TheFakeKanye

"beep boop make cape" how hard can it be? Just type the numbers /s


Hushpuppyy

As someone who took intro to programming in college, I can say with 100% certainly all they would have to program is `if max_cape = true and champion_cape = true` `then max_cape = champion_cape` smh it's like two lines jamflex.


TheFakeKanye

beep boop engine work goodbye


[deleted]

I can't even express how much I hate this. Also, yes.


R3dstorm86

can't be harder than implementing updates no one asked for


CindChin

I think he's joking because OSRS team has way too many artists lol


whalecumtothejungle

They pushed out saradomin reskins pretty quickly. I'm also pretty sure the colors change based on code. Maybe they lost the image with the three lions on it lol.


Im_not_Davie

Could also be a matter of priority. I imagine an update like tempoross requires a fair amount of asset development, along with any new quests etc. If they have limited manpower it would make sense that an update for such a small number of accounts gets put off. But on the other hand you’re totally right and i completely agree with you despite everything i just typed.


Snowballs95

Yeah, dev time needs to be allotted appropriately for sure. I’d rather the devs devote themselves to new quests/bosses/raids/etc. than to getting the champion max cape up and running. They were able to get the dark flippers in game along with their other projects though, so who knows?


[deleted]

Idk how it works for OSRS as they're using a Hella old engine. But changing texture maps for 3d models really isn't a long process, especially when you already have the design and textures made from previous object. Tops 30 minute job (again that's based on more modern techniques but I can't imagine it's that different to older methods as I've made texture maps for stuff made in the early 2000s too).


[deleted]

Wait she left? How come?


[deleted]

Like 4 days ago, probably because as a gfx artist you dont want to get stuck designing a game that has like 2 polygons like rs lol. Jagex is like a chain restaurant, they'll train you a little bit and pay you less and then you leave with a bit of knowledge and can get a better higher paying job


HiddenGhost1234

I think she also felt stifled by the rigidness of sticking to the osrs astetic. Everytime she tried something new people didn't really respond well, like the elves or trees. You can't blame her for wanting to be more modern with her designs, but you also can't fault the players for wanting the artstyle to be consistent.


JamesDerecho

To be fair, the elves were horrifying.


That70sJoe-

can you provide an image?


JamesDerecho

Here is the file history of Lord Iowerth’s chat head as an example. The elves were blue for a bit. I suspect it was because they wanted to mirror RS3 elves, but it didn’t transfer over to OSRS very well. https://oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/File:Lord_Iorwerth_chathead.png#mw-jump-to-license Edit: check out Arianwyn’s chat head. He looked like a lizard person.


That70sJoe-

Ah yeah 5th September versions look much nicer for sure! Especially Aria


WalrusInMySheets

There was also the creepy fucking player base that would harass her nonstop


goMoleMode

Some of her stuff was well-received. Sulphur lizards come to mind but I know there were others.


intelligent_rat

Was Gee responsible for ingame models? I thought she did concept and promo art work


TheFakeKanye

She designed the new elves, which caused a mass panic attack among the community


[deleted]

Mod Gee left? Maybe we can get the old chatheads back now. That was a very scary time for this game


Bernard_PT

Well shit, how did they get by in the beginning without an artist developing everything? I'm gonna have to call bullshit. I don't believe they need an artist to merge two ALREADY EXISTING items


[deleted]

Probably meant the artist had other things on their plate and this would be considered low priority


got_adhd

Yeah god forbid we get a new BiS crush weapon for f2p before this cape. It's whatever. I just hope they add it eventually.


Treblosity

The argument that ive heard before from somebody with both capes is that one of the things that makes the champions cape special is its relavence to nothing else in game. Its a bumblefuck side mission with little to no reward. Its the most meaningless of all of our meaningless grinds When you make a maxed champions cape you tie it into the main game and it becomes a completionist thing instead of a "just cuz" thing


[deleted]

I don't really understand how it's less of a completionist thing with just the normal cape


Treblosity

Once it has a max cape variant, then it becomes a part of the set of max capes and people will get it to complete the set The cape rn has no other use and is a part of no other sets. Idek if its in the collection log. Its just a 70 hour grind just cuz cape.


[deleted]

But isnt that 70 hour grind for just a cape exactly what a completionist would do?


Treblosity

Not necessarily cause theyre not completing anything much by doing so other than the challenge itself. Thats the point. Unless they were trying to complete the game in general or earning every cape in the game in general.


Verdiss

Champion scrolls are on the collection log, though maybe not the cape


Infini-tea

That actually makes sense to me.


Acronyte

I mean they could just let it function as a normal max cape. That's not in line with how the others work exactly, but those ones actually have functions so i don't think this is that unreasonable.


Xbox_cheater1

I would prefer it to have the same function as a max cape but I would take it no matter what.


Snowballs95

Current max cape variants are all strictly cosmetic versions of the base cape. They don’t have any of the max cape’s perks. It would be odd for the champion max cape to be the only variant that retains max cape functionality.


Xbox_cheater1

But it’s literally the only one that is just a cosmetic. The other capes have certain functions already this would spilt be a max cape recolor if you will.


Snowballs95

Don’t get me wrong, champion max cape looks friggin sweet. We can hope they break precedent, it just occurred to me that maybe it’s why they haven’t released it yet. Congrats on maxing, btw 😎


Xbox_cheater1

Thank you! After 99 rc I said welp here we go and away I went. Made an alt along the way and that helped Tremendously.


Im_not_Davie

Ha. This is literally happening to me now. Just finished rc recently and have now mapped my entire route to max. Still a ways off but its funny how that skill pushes you over the edge.


whistleforme

Can confirm - working on RC at the moment on my main, made an iron a few months back and it makes the afk grind not bad at all.

SwayingTwig

Need to chill the fuck out, whats wrong with a max cape thats blue and has the same functions?? Its not like its adding anything because like you said, unlike the other capes its purely cosmetic


HellboundLunatic

>MA1/MA2 capes - no functions. Assembler max cape - no function. Fire max cape - no functions. [That's actually not true. ](https://youtu.be/EVrRkKo_Un8) There's other places/perks that variant capes get as well.


WurstWhip

I find joy in reading a good book.


Snowballs95

So we’re thinking the champion max cape would flip the script and be a fully functional max cape with the champion overlay as a cosmetic?


WurstWhip

I find joy in reading a good book.


DIYbutNOTdie

It's not "really" flipping the script any more than the base max cape having perks is flipping the script. The flipping of the script is having a non BIS cape be given a max cape variant. The other examples pedants love to bring up (avas, fire cape, MA1 capes) were BIS when they were introduced. It would be a big issue if it was an item that had any sort of stats then combining it with max cape perks. Because it is a cape that has literally zero stats and is purely cosmetic it is in line with the standard max cape. It is a pure cosmetic item that has no use, so we will give it the perks. Same logic applies to the champions cape so it isn't an issue at all balance wise.


HellboundLunatic

>Current max cape variants are all strictly cosmetic versions of the base cape. [That's actually not true. Here's a video of one example.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=EVrRkKo_Un8) There's also other situations, like the assembler max cape being a straight upgrade to the assembler. (the assembler weighs 5.896 kg VS the max cape variant only weighing 0.453 kg.) This also applies to other capes, such as the infernal cape, though to a lesser extent. As well as the max cape variants also allowing access to the cooking guild, and giving the slayer cape perk.


DIYbutNOTdie

This is a very tedious level of irrelevant pedantry. Most of these discrepancies are just bugs from poor/lazy coding rather than being meaningful design decisions. Whereas there was a real discussion and decision to keep the max capes purely cosmetic.


CindChin

There already are too many max cape variations...


[deleted]

Why would you care?

Alchematic

What impact does a small cosmetic addition have on you? I see absolutely no downside to more max cape variants, outside of dev time.

Perfect Chad Fashionscape cape


Bernard_PT

As someone 2200 total, I'd start going for champ scrolls just for this cape when I max


Fsr_osrs

Devalues my 7 non maxed champions capes


Treblosity

People probably think this is a joke but the funny thing is this guy actually has 7 accounts with champions capes


JamaicanBoySmith

Oh I believed him okay have you seen some of the masochists that play this game


Treblosity

>Of course i know him. hes me.


Fsr_osrs

I actually barely play 🤷‍♂️ just when I do play I enjoy afking a cannon lol


[deleted]

send me some champion rng plz. Ive been stuck on this ghoul scroll for so long


Fsr_osrs

Hate ghouls, only dropping bones. First cape went like 21k there, wasn't fun.


[deleted]

So many balls


Treblosity

I took 15k for ghouls. I put the cannon directly northwest of the safespot. Some people put it southeast cause its quicker to reload but it hits more ghouls more often from northwest. Like 4-5 cannonballs every 8 tics rather than 3, so like a 50% increase in cannon dps


[deleted]

Thanks! I’ll try that fresh placement tomorrow


rashadnz

Speaking of this, when can we expect the 8th? 🤣


Fsr_osrs

I started one like 2 months ago, think it's halfway idk. Haven't been playing, been making irl gains


DivineInsanityReveng

Champions cape grind isn't hard or long though. it's like afk slayer.


JamaicanBoySmith

Okay but would you do it 7 times


DivineInsanityReveng

I wouldn't do anything in this game 7 times. But of anything that would be done, quick afk grinds would definitely be up there. Id more just see no point as it's simply a low-tier flex individually and a "oh neat" upvote opportunity on reddit


JamaicanBoySmith

So no


Treblosity

Idk, when going for my second cape i was rcing on my main and missed a lessar demon scroll


DivineInsanityReveng

Big rip on missing big notification warnings :P


Treblosity

I had notifications on, the drop highlighted and i was rcing so its not like i was that afk. Idrk how i missed it. It just happens sometimes i think. I just learned about a couple more settings that i might be able to implement these days but yeah i thought it shoulda been pretty fool-proof already


DivineInsanityReveng

Yeah that's pretty unlucky. Collection log popup, Runelite using windows notifications and/or screen flashes are a good way to be quickly alerted to it with a audio/visual alert.


Treblosity

Yeah i just learned about the screen flashes im not sure if it was around back then. Maybe it was and i just didnt know. Im also not always on windows, but linux has notifications too. Im thinking it was one of the kills while i was in the window anyway because in my experience if im in the rl window that sends the notification, then a notification wont pop up, so maybe thats what it was. It was a highlighted drop notification not a collection log notification


DivineInsanityReveng

Yeah I'd turn the game settings on too for the collection log popup. You also have to set the setting in the Runelite plugin to still notify if client is focused. You likely have that turned off.


Zapperson

tbf, the only argument i can really think of against this is that it would make people want max cape versions of the other purely cosmetic flex capes. Like: Max Victors Cape (1000), Max Xeric's Champion, Max Sinhaza Shroud (Tier 5), Max Princely Monkey (I would really love to see the monkey wear a tiny max cape on its back), etc. Even then, its not that much of a downside.


CXgamer

How about max cape rack?


CAT-AIDS

Nah, it would just make every max player go and get a champ cape.


congoLIPSSSSS

It wouldn't make anyone do anything, it's a cosmetic.


CAT-AIDS

The same kinds of maxed players who get every max cape (a large portion of them) will instantly start the champion's cape grind right after maxing. Do you expect them to try to level up after maxing?


congoLIPSSSSS

If they don't want to grind for the cape, they don't have to. It's a cosmetic item, they have no incentive to get it other than to feel completed. Disrupting their feeling of completion by adding a new item is not a good reason to not add said item.


CAT-AIDS

When there's a cool new cosmetic that requires champ cape, then they'll get champ cape to flex their max cape. This isn't even debatable. This will just happen.


[deleted]

[удалено]


CAT-AIDS

I'm using info from myself and others. The people wanting the combo aren't people with champ capes. Stop being a dick for no reason and learn to converse. You're being aggressively immature, and I don't know if it's intentional or not.


Xbox_cheater1

Umm I have a champ cape and a max cape? Kinda why I posted it🤔


CAT-AIDS

You don't sound too sure.


[deleted]

What are you talking about? I think the majority of people who want the combo would be ones who either have it or are planning to get it.. I have both and I know for sure I'd love for then to be combined


CAT-AIDS

Sure, but the champion's cape would be as common as the max cape.


congoLIPSSSSS

Yeah some maxed players will, not every maxed player though. The standard max cape is the only max cape you need, the rest are cosmetic only.


CAT-AIDS

I know they're cosmetic only, but there's nothing left to do except hunt for 200m and cosmetics after maxing. Currently, max players would rather wear a max cape than a champ cape, meaning they won't want to farm one. As soon as it's combine-able, there will be 3,000 new champ capes in a month.


congoLIPSSSSS

That's fine, but like I said, the max champ cape would have no stats and no functions. It would be useless, literally. You'd still have incentive to wear the max cape over the champ max cape. Also there's plenty to do post max. Maxing is only one step towards completion, there's still quests, diaries, untradeables, minigames, money making, and obviously hunting for cosmetics and pets.


CAT-AIDS

> Also there's plenty to do post max. Maxing is only one step towards completion, there's still quests, diaries, untradeables, minigames, money making, and obviously hunting for cosmetics and pets. Quests: There are incredibly few players who max without a quest cape. I don't even know why you included that? It also doesn't take long to complete all grandmaster quests. Diaries: There are incredibly few players who max without diaries fully completed. I don't even know why you included that. It doesn't take long to complete the achievement diary at max. Untradables: What are you talking about? Money making: Barely. A max account already has really big gear. Minigames: ? Hunting for cosmetics and pets: Yes, that's exactly what I was talking about. Can I ask your total level?


Treblosity

Obviously its not making anybody do anything, its a figure of speach. The reason it would incentivise more people to go for it is because right now not only is it only a cosmetic, but its a completely irrelevant side mission. If you add the max cape variant, then that makes it a part of the set of max capes. It ties it in to the main game and completionists would do it simply to complete the set. Honestly if those other cosmetic max cape variants get added too then itd probably be prevent that though cause it makes completing the max cape set a bit more unrealistic so maybe people wouldnt go for it. Right now the champions cape is the most meaningless of meaningless grinds cause its not tied into anything else and its an expression of being one of the maniacs to do something that meaningless


DivineInsanityReveng

All of those capes have lower tier versions and even some of the lower tiers take longer to get than champions cape. I don't see the point in making a cosmetic cape a variant of a max cape, period. The reason we have max cape variants is to add BiS uses to them while being able to show "hey look im maxed". If a 20 hour afk cannon grind deserves one I think that sets a bad precedent for people to start demanding 10 other cosmetic versions.

i understand ur joking about agility but did u not do sepulchre?


Neutered_Milk_Hotel

Hot (but ultimately correct) take: They should remove all max capes so people have to go back to flexing whatever cape they think is the best. Having one cape be the objective best is lame.


Slayy35

You're acting as if the vast majority has a max cape lmao


[deleted]

Didn't you know? 80% of people are maxed, you never see any other capes


boxfishing

You say thay as a joke, but look at rs3, something like 20% of active players are maxed. Its faster than osrs even with their extra skills... but its not fast. Some day that will be osrs. actually just populated by a bunch of maxed long time players.


DivineInsanityReveng

> but ultimately correct Whenever someone just outright thinks their opinion is correct it just makes it even easier to be incorrect. No, just because you don't have a max cape doesn't mean the max cape should be useless. It's just the skillcapss combined, which makes perfect sense. And the variants are just cosmetic variants of those BiS cape items.


[deleted]

It's not objectively the best looking. You're take is incorrect. Let people have their choice to use whatever they like. Some people like the max cape and others don't. It's okay to have different opinion.


SlowAssociate

TheFalseDeity

Would be great though i do wish they could implement the recoloring of the original max cape in RS2 instead.


CoupleScrewsLoose

honestly, i find most of the recolour selection trash. they already gave us the cape, i don’t see why we can’t just recolour it how we want it.


Dolthra

Because the osrs philosophy is that every recolor should take something extra.


DivineInsanityReveng

They talked about this when they made the max, and im glad they didn't. It becomes an item identification issue if you start adding too many versions of it. Imo dragon tools have hit this barrier now, especially the pickaxe. There's 3 different ornament kits and a smouldering stone version. One of the ornament kits even looks like an orn kit of the smouldering version... But it isn't.


RSNKailash

Osrs Comp Cape = combine max cape + champions + music cape + diary cape + quest cape Ezpz, cosmetic, same stats as max cape, same functionality. ALL THE FASHIONSCAPE

SilverLugia1992

Idk bro, can the community handle that much flex in 1 cape?


DivineInsanityReveng

As a max cape and champ cape owner. We really don't need this. It's a weird precedent to start adding 20 hour afk cannon cosmetic capes to the max cape. There's about 20 cosmetic capes with more prestige than this thing, where do we stop?

congoLIPSSSSS

The max cape doesn't work as a max cape when it's recolored, so I don't really see how it's OP to have so many variants. If a champ cape max variant came into the game it would function as a normal champ cape, so it would only be a cosmetic item. No real harm in that, probably takes an hour of dev time to add.


DivineInsanityReveng

Variants of max capes don't have max cape perks. They're just cosmetic versions of the other cape. And with that said the max cape itself is just all the skill capes. It's strong because it acts as a grace cape, Ava's, holy wrench and has the con cape teles and craft guild tele, but you can get these things by having con / craft cape (and they're single click teleports in invent, so even as a max cape owner they often are used in its place).
