ARMOR LAYERING & TEARING ARMOR

Now to explain. We all know, and I mean that, we all know that you can obviously wear more than one ring, more than one bracelet and more than one piece of most jewelry. WE ALL KNOW THAT (I hope!)
Now in Runescape, you can only wear one ring at a time, one anything at a time with the excpetion of stackable items (I.E. arrows, Darts ect.)


You do realize it is possible to wear a Rune skirt with leather Chaps and Rune Gloves with Black Vambraces.
It is possible to even cut down armor for certain parts of your body, go tear apart those easy to destroy barrows items, dharoks for your shoulder, veracs for your other shoulder, and such. You could easily wear karils skirt over ahrims skirt, you'd be hotter than hell but who cares, you'll be stronger and more defended too!


-------------------------------------------

You should be able to put some of your weapons on your back to be held for show off purposes. You should be able to wear a Glory ammy and a Power Ammy at the same time. People I wear six rings on one hand! What the hell, you can only wear one ring at a time!?

Tell me if you'd like to wear 2 capes, one skill cape, another undercape like a saradomin cape for the undercolor, its possible, it is!
So why not? Why no layering? The smart knights did it, they wore chainmail under there platemail. They had chainmail protecting their heads along with a full armor helmet.
C'mon, even if its not real life, it's sure bring got plenty of possibilities.


-------------------------------------------

Then comes tearing armor as I mentioned earlier. Why am I stuck to just a mystic top on my entire body? What if I want to tear off the left shoulder and sleeve to let my Veracs armor hang out too? Why am I inclined to wear only a mystic skirt when I can tear it up a little bit and show off my new Dragon Legs?

Why can't I somehow tear apart chainlink armor to show off my real actual clothing underneath?
Or use some spell to slice through my platemail to give me pieces for specific parts of my body? Why can't I?
EDIT:
When you Tear armor, accordingly:
Torso: Left shoulder, Right shoulder, lower stomach, almost in a Triforce kind of way.
Legs: Lower legs (Below knees, or shorter if Jagex likes), side of legs (Following up the side of the leg for that sexy way to show off your legs.)
A simple spell called Armor Cut, 20 fire runes, 10 nature runes, 5 air runes, c'mon, it's more than possible!
Or make it more detailed, Armor Cut Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, ect. For various armors, with various rune usages at various level. I want to be stylish in Runescape, I want to show off. So why can't I?

Why don't my rings show? I want my Archer Ring visible!


Why can't my ancient Magicks staff be carried on my back with my Ahrims staff for ultimate show off purposes? And why am I inclined to just a Bandos chest when I could easily flip that around to wear with my Veracs?!Wheres my quiver with my arrows or bolts? Where do those all stay, under my shirt?!

Seriously people. Layered armoring, tearing armor. Show more stuff. Honestly it'd be alot more fun, and don't give me fairness issues, if you're rich then your lucky you have an advantage, you always did.


-------------------------------------------

I'm not saying dual wielding weapons, that's not necesary, torags already did that, look how useful that one became! Pointless, the hammers aren't that good!
I once had Veracs (Got hacked) and Dharoks (Got hacked again) And Torags! (Once again HACKED) and Torags was pointblank useless once its defense bonus was reduced. So Dharoks was my favorite, I just wish I could've flaunted off my appearance in different ways!

For an idea, I've made a drawing, its a rough draft, don't laugh too hard either.
Spoiler - Layer armor and Torn Armor:
IPB Image

It's a mirrored perspective so stay with me on this. (A left handed person in Runescape, impossible, only Right handed people allowed!)
[b]Head: Ahrims hood covering Karils Coif.
Torso: Dharoks shoulder piece, Veracs shoulder piece, Karils stomach.
Legs: Karils Skirt over Ahrims Skirt.
Feet: Rune Boots.
Hands: Barrows Gloves under (left side) Rune claw(s) (right side) Spiny Glove(s). (left thumb) Archer Ring, Abyssal Whip.
Back: Ahrims Staff, Ancient Staff, Dharoks Greataxe, Prayer Skill Cape.
Left Arm: Karils upper arm, Ahrims lower arm.
Right Arm: Veracs arm (I planned on adding a bracelet or Vambrace but didn't want to risk ruining it even more.)
Neck: Amulet of Fury, Berserker Necklace.


The rest is just me being bored.
If any couldn't tell, I'm left handed. (Darn my Dragging Hand Style! Darn You!)
(Don't worry about the anatomy or the physics in the picture, I tried to get everything to show more, mainly the stuff on the back, including the cape as you can see)
I have not played RS in about a good year or so, I had to literally go on the knowledge base, trek through that annoying jumble of poorly linked pages just to find some things, like the ancient staff, I messed up there and was like, that don't look right.

So, any thoughts opinions? I think It's a good idea, some of you might find it absurd though.

Multiple rings maybe.. but multiple capes etc? no.
that just doesn't sound right.. we don't want to overcomplicate things do we? ohmy.gif
usmc110
carrying like a greataxe on your back would be pretty cool.

Interesting suggestion.

Question is, what do you do with left over parts? Could sell them, trade 'em, drop 'em, but RuneScape would soon be losing items. Every item getting torn and replaced, soon enough originals would no longer exist. RuneScape would become a place with mixed-up designs everywhere, so unorganized.

But then again.. It would be an interesting suggestion to actually happen. happy.gif

RS needs more creativity, more freedom.
More creativity = more players
more players = more members
more members = more profit
more profit = Jagex members rolling down town in their new Red ferrarri.
And us getting more stuff hopefully.
Well I should define on the left over parts shouldn't I?
Or how the parts are split.

I think it's a little complex. Maybe a little less options. I also think only 2 items on your back. You could also customize the positioning of it so if you had 2 make an "x" if 1 maybe horizontal etc.

Nice idea but it sounds sort of complex.

Well its basically just letting you
wear layers of armor and items
Make more things show
allow you to mix it up by tearing armor apart and rearranging it on you
that's basically it.

Most weapons are not powerful enough to go through all that armour. But many ring might be a good idea.

The idea is great! Just one problem - the equipment menu. What you will have to do is combine the items in the inventory, then equip them. And you would also need to make a quest to be able to do this or a whole new quest entirely. It's still a good idea overall.

OR
Just make a tabs interface like with the bank.
Just a bit more complicated, with more slots than usual for the rings and armor placement and such.

A quest for the ability to cut, tear, armor apart might be necessary though.

Weaponry not hitting good point. Crap, need to think of something for those then.
ddsp11
Well, since the armour is torn apart, depending on the part, a fraction of the original piece of armour is givin to each part. That might explain it happy.gif
kol
That actually made it more confusing to me, and I came up with the idea mellow.gif

The defense stats would vary depending on the piece, for Dharoks, I'd think the right shoulder would have the most defense due to the spikes.

As for Karils or Ahrims, they'd be split evenly 3 ways for the chest and half for Ahrims, I'm not making Karils any shorter, we don't need a barrows short skirt now do we?
ddsp11
*imagines short skirt*
tongue.gif yea, the way you put the defence bonuses was kinda how i put it but simpler i guess
kol
ANYWAYS

There's plenty of variations possible.
But I'm not sure what people would do with the whole, trimmed armor and robes and such. Wonder if any would wanna risk it.

heh.gif as someone who i "guess" has no life and plays 23 mmos/mmorpgs as well as many pc games like the rts's starcraft and warcraft ive seen this thing layering on so many games, so its a good idea.

ps. by the way i do have a life i make time for play, work, and just the good life cool.gif smoking.gif

It would be cool if you could wear more than one platebody/skirt/etc at once (and also nice colour possibly), but your running energy would probably go down to 0% very fast. You should add one more thing- carrying 2 weapons in your hands at once.
ewankenobi
idk about your drawing seems kina over kill having like 6 weapons on your back....icould understand like a back sheath...also id like duelweild thats would own...duel weild dds=HEAVEN

Amongst that, also cheaper than cheap, two DDS's would equal still just 4 special attacks, two from each DDS.

As well, might be a good idea if this armor layering idea happens, because the extra attack power would be needed.
Running energy draining faster is a minus to the extra defense, only fair to be honest.

There's 3 weapons on his back, Great Axe, Ahrims Staff and Ancient Staff, the staffs should be two at a time, one melee at a time, or one staff one arrow holder (what's it called...) and one melee weapon.

This idea has its obvious ups and downs. Mainly being uping the defense and in some cases the attack will make you heavier, and against other people doing the same thing more difficult to win. Seems almost fair enough to me, can;t have an ancient magicks mage in wildy Ice barraging everyone with an Ahrims skirt, mystic skirt, Ahrims top, Mystic top and such, right?
