Untrimmed Skill Capes // New Players | RuneScape | Page 1

I'm a new player and I hit my second 99 without knowing trimmed/untrimmed cape feature. And It is so weird that I can't get my untrimmed cape back now because I didn't keepsake it before. (It's like I got punished for getting second 99) But how should I've known that feature considering I'm new to the game. Me and the other players are earning that cape with a huge grind so I think you guys give us a chance to get our untrimmed capes(or however we want our skillcapes to be) even we didn't/couldn't keepsake it before. Perhaps that's not a big deal for some people I believe most of the players gonna be glad if you guys bring this feature to the game. So I hope you guys at least consider this suggestion. Thanks a lot.

I'm down with keepsaking after. If we can't get our capes however we want them, at least we should get a chance to keepsake it after second 99. Or give us a warning next time. This thing going on is just doesn't make any sense.

This is one of the things that there's no reason not to do IMO

obsidian shadow This is one of the things that there's no reason not to do IMO

lack of historical tracking / screwing over old players by helping the new ones perhaps

#

imo would be easiest to just do away with untrimmed skillcapes entirely and upset the very small amount of users that care about which untrimmed cape they have keepsaked

#

at the same time, the suggestion (or not doing it) may also not be worth considering due to that same small number

#

putting the various solutions to an in-game poll would probably be the best way to go about it

#

Would be nice if your first 99 cape was auto keepsaked untrimmed when you got the level, would obviously only help future players and not OP though, i'm not sure how feasable making such a change also cover retroactively would be

I use a hide on my cape slot. But I'm all for the option of setting Trim or not trim on skill capes.

And for ppl the few who had the untrimmed, is it really that prestigious? They can recover. Just like when legends cape and fire cape was prestigious but are now archaic.

Let people fashionscape.

gleaming rover lack of historical tracking / screwing over old players by helping the new ones ...

I can keepsake my trimmed one even now if I have a chance. But I don't even have a chance because some really weird rule in game. I'm asking again: a new player, how should he/she know he have to keepsake his cape to not get a cape that he/she doesn't want. I love attack cape untrimmed but trimmed one I'm sorry but it's like a clown cape. Do yo see that logical? What harms old players? Some people man...

rigid dagger I can keepsake my trimmed one even now if I have a chance. But I don't even have...

wat?

#

Could you elaborate or rephrase?

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:48 PM

#

You are talking about harming old players

#

If jagex gives people to choose their skillcapes how do that harms anyone

#

Do you wanna get some credit for being old

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:49 PM

#

Oh I didn't say that

#

But if they let anyone choose any skill as untrimmed (but only one) then it diminishes the accomplishment

#

Some people historically went for a certain skill first to get it untrimmed too

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:50 PM

#

I don't understand

#

Attack cape is my first 99

#

It was untrimmed

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:50 PM

#

I agree with Tomcat's suggestion that all capes should simply have untrimmed and trimmed versions for cosmetic reasons

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:50 PM

#

It got trimmed after I got second 99

#

Whats the connection between what I say and you say

#

I don't have a clue

#

What accomplisment

#

I'm as accomplish as the otherss

#

I earned it

#

God sake

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

rigid dagger Whats the connection between what I say and you say

Are you proposing that new players should be able to get their untrimmed (Attack) cape back but not you

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

I mean everybody should have a chance to get his skillcape as they want to

#

People earn this capes with grind

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

Due to technical limitations that's unfortunately not possible

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

So people should be able to use whatever type they want

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

They don't have records of the first 99 people got or at least not going back far enough

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

rigid dagger So people should be able to use whatever type they want

Yes agreed

#

What Tomcat said

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

Ok let people keepsake their capes after second 99

#

Or write it on the screen while we are logining in

#

how should I know

#

that I need to keepsake my cape

#

before second 99

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:52 PM

#

rigid dagger Ok let people keepsake their capes after second 99

Yes, even if you get 99 Necromancy next week you should be able to get untrimmed necro

austere lichen Jul 31, 2023, 3:53 PM

gleaming rover But if they let anyone choose any skill as untrimmed (but only one) then it dimi...

I think if you could turn any cape untrimmed it would diminish the prestige and context of untrimmed capes, ideally the game just knows which 99 an account got first and only allows that account to use that single untrimmed cape, but i don't think that's technically possible

gleaming rover Jul 31, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

Going forward I suppose your first cape could warn you what happens if you get a second 99

#

Or as you say auto-keepsake

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

yeah

#

I mean that

#

exactly

austere lichen Jul 31, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

that would be great

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

austere lichen I think if you could turn any cape untrimmed it would diminish the prestige and ...

Even you keepsake your first 99, the other 99 come trimmed?

#

Don't understand you point

#

I mean the only 99 with untrimmed you have a chance to get is your first?

austere lichen Jul 31, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

the point is you can go out and say "look, this was my first 99 and i have the proof right on my back"

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

ok but

#

I'm asking because I don't know

#

Like

#

If I keepsaked my cape before all my capes gonna be untrimmed no?

#

not just my first one

austere lichen Jul 31, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

no, only the first one

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

So what is the prestige of untrimmed cape. I don't care about prestige I just really like how attack cape 99 untrimmed looks

austere lichen Jul 31, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

well, that's where your opinion differs from ours, and that's okay

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

And even if its my first 99 I can't get my untrimmed back

#

I'm down with your way too 😄

#

Just want jagex to give us a chance to keepsake our capes after second 99

#

because there is no point of not being able to keepsake it after.

#

I got punished because I hit 99 on second skill lol

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

I kind of like this idea, but I don't see a way for them to do this for existing players. It'd be nice to get my untrimmed RC cape from back in the day... but I got it before keepsakign was even a thing

#

and they don't record what order we get our 99s in

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

but the system is recording no?

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

it's not

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

If I get a keepsake thingy and use it

#

it should be on my attack cape

#

it was my first

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

it records IF you use the keepsake thingy

#

the keepsake thingy is the record

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

thats just weird

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 3:59 PM

#

if you didn't use it, it didn't record it

#

my only proof that rc was my first 99 is my memories of winning the race with my clan leader

#

and she doesn't even play the game anymore so she can't confirm

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

So you mean this is a rule because they can't control who hits first 99 in which skill

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

that's the problem, this would be a nice thing to have but they're not storing the data if you don't use the keepsake thing so it wouldn't affect existing players

#

it's not a rule

#

it's just they're not storing that data

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

and they only want one untrimmed cape for each player

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

that's the way the client is currently set up

#

COULD they change it?

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

understand

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

yes, but that would require work, and determining if enough people WANT it to be worth the work

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

but its kinda rule because we can't keepsake it after

#

but I think if there is thing like that

#

they should warn people

#

it is not players fault to not keepsake their capes. How should anyone know he/she should keepsake his/her cape.

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

a better idea would be to just make the untrimmed cape available as a cosmetic option for everyone. Like is one skill to 99 REALLY bragging rights, given the ability to lamp your way to anything first?

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

I'm down with that too

#

I'm down with anything except the thing is going on right now. That doesn't make any sense rn.

#

I'm pissed off because I earned that cape but I can't use it however I want.

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

my friend might possibly get herblore as her first 99 because I've been shoving mats down her throat the past few days having her do the grunt work of making overload mats for me

#

this shows absolutely nothing about the effort she put into this, and absolutely everything about my unwillingness to work on herblore after getting it to 120

#

so yeah, a better suggestion would be to just make a cosmetic appearance update to allow showing trimmed and untrimmed cape versions

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 4:05 PM

#

Yeah. I completely agree with you.

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

and not to mention that peoples' cosmetic preferences change over time. Several years ago I was trying to make my appearance all yellow and green, and now it's all purples

#

if I'd had keepsaking as an option as a time, I might've gone for 99 herb first, keepsaked it, and ended up with something that REALLY clashes with my existing setup

rigid dagger Jul 31, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

delusional selfish people man...

#

unlike it just because you've untrimmed lol

#

old players old players!

#

what should we do without them.

rain bobcat Jul 31, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

I would suggest either making a new thread or changing the title

#

because the reason for the disliking is probably because what you're suggesting, specifically, is impossible given the information they track at the moment

#

it's like a suggestion to give us all runes and the ability to cast spells irl

#

"make untrimmed capes a cosmetic option just like the old style skill capes" is a completely different suggestion than "do something that would require you to have been tracking, for twenty years, information that you weren't previously tracking"
