yet they went radio silent for 4 days

#

@viscid wyvern I am only asking because I genuinely don’t know. Are you part of the CM team at Jagex?

viscid wyvern
#

They spoke about it on stream and posted a faq about it

viscid wyvern
late marten
#

the faq 4 days later

#

mentioned it in a players stream

#

where only some people were watching?

viscid wyvern
#

The stream was a jagex stream 2 days ago

late marten
#

didn't get posted to social media

viscid wyvern
#

It is fine to be upset but it is also important to be factual

stable spoke
#

So what does this event do for people who got the capes they wanted during FSW? What do people have to show for the time decidated to FSWs? Why would future players want to participate in events like FSWs when there are no unique lasting rewards that can't be re-obtained in 4 hours of afk grinding later on by anybody?

late marten
stable spoke
#

Forget FOMO, what about "Wasted 100+ hours for a generic reward-O" ?

late marten
#

damn players gained 120's at normal rates

quiet dome
#

Well, if you only played the game mode for the cosmetic, get over it?

Play the limited time game mode because it’s fun, nothing more

#

If you had fun you didn’t waste 100 hours

late marten
#

it should never have taken this many years to get them back in the game

#

we have been given minimal info about them in the last 4 years

#

they come back tell us nothing other then it's coming on x date

#

leaves 0 room for feedback

#

then when players are upset and give feedback

viscid wyvern
#

This thread is a feedback thread

late marten
#

and they've ignored it for 4 days

#

we'll talk about it later

viscid wyvern
#

Again, it is fine to be upset but don’t reinvent what happened to fit your narrative

quiet dome
#

Yeah Trem there is definitely room for feedback. No response in 4 days =/=not watching. It likely means they’re working on how to respond

late marten
#

then 4 days later

#

their response was "well we are doing this anyways

#

everything they say is for during the anniversary

stable spoke
late marten
#

limited impact?

#

cool what difference is it between year round keeping the cap, and once an event?

stable spoke
late marten
#

this literally mentions fomo leaving it to once a month is exactly fomo

#

that's what they're creating with the once a year issue though

#

you have to get your capes by then or now wait an entire year to get the cape you want

#

you lose a cape slot if you miss out on the cape from this year

quiet dome
stable spoke
#

No 120 cape takes longer than 4 hours of in-game time.

late marten
late marten
stable spoke
late marten
#

players don't have 6 hours a day to grind an event

#

LITERAL FOMO

#

don't worry you lose one of your 4 limited slots to a skill that you were working on last year

#

because it's only a month long

#

you couldn't spend more then 2 hours a day on the game

#

too bad

quiet dome
#

According to numbers I’ve seen, 6hours per day is a bit of an exaggeration

late marten
#

if you're going for some of the slower 120's

#

not at all

#

not all players have bills to drop on skills

#

not all players have dxp to speed things along

jade anvil
#

it's been known for ages that inverts would be returning in some way

worldly mesa
#

obj, the fact they want this to be a repeat event is good for scenarios where you arent 120 yet.

the limiting section where its 4 in a months time is whats not great

late marten
#

not when, or for how long

#

or that they would be limited

#

they gave us no information about it

#

they didn't talk to players on how to implement it

#

we have a dead poll system

quiet dome
late marten
#

no this update clearly isn't for brand new players

worldly mesa
#

the limiting part creates the fomo. its 100% fine if they just release so much you cant do it all in one event for it to come back the next season. how it is right now is like if we did halloween and just capped how much you can earn to 4 purchases in the event and to claim its not fomo doing so

late marten
#

it's for upper mid level players

#

please answer me this

#

what harm does it do to keep the 4 limit but extend it to year round

#

?

#

gives players time to get their goals

worldly mesa
#

id rather all capes available for a month than 4 over the whole year personally. This would still create 8 years of fomo with the 4 a year.

best case all capes for the whole year but thats not really on the table.

late marten
#

without being rushed to finish them in a 1 month time

quiet dome
#

I don’t think any. I’m not a fan of time restricted activities for a cosmetic. The only times I have seen quoted are for obtaining shards, because that’s the point of concern for most people. Not the time to obtain 120, that’s a separate metric

late marten
#

i don't like the restricted to 4/year

#

but they aren't going to budge on it this year

#

they can compromise and make it work for everyone

quiet dome
#

Right now it is what it is. We’ve all given feedback, they can take it and respond how they wish, and we can move on 🤷‍♂️ you can’t make everyone happy

late marten
#

their response to the feedback is "too bad"

#

removing these stupid limiters would make far more players happy

stable spoke
#

There's few accomplishments/cosmetics/whatever that can be earned in this game via skill expression and participation in certain things like limited game modes or old-style "you had to be there" holiday events that can't be earned by generically playing the game for a year or buying bonds. Doesn't think kind fo suck that your account can't have any actually unique attributes that reflect how/when you played this game?

late marten
viscid wyvern
#

Keep it respectful

#

Don’t target people for having differing opinions

#

I don't see why but okay

#

Seems that might make it harder to deal with if they had to do that though

mellow scaffold
#

So the spot does nothing, can't complete cape rack on a new account, etc

#

There are other items with the same property; they just forgot to flip the Boolean on this one for a looooooong time

placid mesa
#

Sorry I brought it up. I was just showing an item that one who played the game at a certain time still could have something unique.

#

I was replying to some one else, Wasn't even about the POH. I'd love to move all my rooms w/o having to start them over but I'm not holding my breath on that one. OSRS POH love it.

mellow scaffold
#

Maybe it's not hidden cuz they're turning on RSC servers again this year or in 5y

placid mesa
#

I won't hold my breath on that one either. I can't see why, they shut it down in the first place because it was getting harder to maintain the server

#

old tech

obsidian badger
#

will we be seeing inverted capes in dragonwilds as well?

shell coral
#

does dragonwilds even have skillcapes at all yet

prime nexus
#

Nah, 50 is max level atm. Not sure when they'll make them go to 99

urban plume
#

would love to see Dragonwilds' take on skillcapes!

swift plaza
#

That’s just a stupid

Hans must have only rented the Square for a month

#

That being said, come June 1st I'm hoping the 25 Year Vet capes are out so I can trade in this 20 Year Vet cape, lol
(2nd best cape ingame IMO)

Oh they passed the feedback up alright, so far up that it went out of the building and into the atmosphere.

You don't pretend to care about fomo while making the event exactly that: Fomo. The excuse used is what is more annoying than anything.

Let's say it like it is: it's an event that is designed to get players to play in Jan when nothing usually comes out.

So now Oct, Dec and Jan have temporary events. Wonderful.

#

Here's a crazy theory

#

The new skill will come with the first expansion of havenhythe

#

What better way to bring eyes to your brand new shiny continent, create an area on the continent designed around the shiny new skill

uncut cargo
#

That would require the start of it to be F2P.

late marten
#

What way to bring in new players to the continent

#

First area or 2 are f2p

#

Then membership be required for the last 2 parts

#

What way to entice new players to buy membership

#

You can get to the continent train the new skill above the level 5 cap but have the cap be higher

uncut cargo
#

Modern cap is 20.

late marten
#

We don't need to go by modern cap, also fair I haven't been f2p in well over a decade. So Say 50-70 so it gives new players a chance to train it

#

What could they add to the game, to draw players entire focus off of inverted capes like stated in the faq

#

It would drop July/august

#

Like necromancy when people are more free, younger people or people still in uni

thick mason
#

I haven't been a f2p active player in years but agree a higher lvl would give a much better taste for the member skills.

late marten
#

Or give everyone a month free membership when the expansion goes live

I don't really get the problem here unless you took their stance about addressing FOMO as suddenly being completely anti-FOMO. Rather, they're reducing FOMO: addressing auras, dailies, the next DXP was cancelled, the events in general were also called into question. I don't care at all about the addition of a new yearly month-long event if that means auras, dailies, and double exp weeks are addressed, inverted skillcapes are a drop in the bucket compared to those

#

The event does suck though, because it's just another grindfest with some extra steps. Don't really care about details like how long it is when the actual meat of it is just go afk something

Yall should finally fix the 120 capes so they dont have those lines going through them. People would enjoy them much more.

harsh shell
#

Can we get inverted cape storage in our POH?

#

It seems like a bit of an oversight that this wasn't included in the update.

slim warren
harsh shell
#

Alright nice, ty.

hasty estuary
#

Has it been confirmed at all if getting the shards is based off the xp gained or if it's just per action you do in that skill?

thin hearth
#

last week

#

chance is not based on how much exp you get per drop, the amount is, with a minimum of 10

#

chance is based on how much exp you've gained since focusing the skill

hasty estuary
#

Ah thanks, thought I'd check to see if it's best to continue with Unstable/Protean Cogs for Invention, or if I should go dismantle things / use the workbench

Eventually we will lose our source for new Proteans, so I'd say the best thing is to look at all your Proteans and your skills you can apply them to and ask where are they best suited. As far as using the workbench / dismantling things, I recommend looking at the issue backwards. Ask yourself what item(s) do you wish to eventually make via Invention, then ask what do you need to get them. That will tell you what components you need to gather and what blueprints you need unlocked. From there you can chart a "path" from where you are now to where you need to be to make your plans work.

Ah, lol 😂
So far I’ve only unlocked the Invert 99/120 Construction Capes, and I got them at the same rate no matter what I was doing. I’m guessing it’s based on ticks not XP.
