the beta is very sad. if i wanted to assemble an action bar and spend weeks in testing stages trying to find a good rhythm i would've started playing "World of Warcraft" again, because that's all this is. i play runescape because it does not require that kind of commitment. forcing players to use this action bar makes me quite upset. runescape does not need change, it needs another bot nuke if anything.

i agree beta is like world of warcraft. everyone like me who has lots of time and money into torva or divine will crash from the beta coming out. all the time i spent into this game and everything will crash and it will feel like all that time was a waste. i feel just quitting if this update really does happen

Well from the look of things, I guess I should be glad I didn't get accepted.

runescape is changing to the beta thing :O ? i play runescape for 9 years now i guess if thats going to happen that will be the end of my runescape i like runescape because it is runescape its turning in to WOW wich i dont really like runescape should stay like runescape and not dual wielding etc runescape made a mistake earlier with taking away the wildernis i am happy that they brought it back but still lots of people left the game and quit i dont want another huge amount of quits anymore and this beta change has alot of risk pleas dont change it :(

right on! i agree rs combat needs toc hange but not into WOW combat!!! remove the monotonous nature of comabt but dont please of please acctually release this. itll kill runescape because if runescape tries to become more like WOW it will die its membership will plummet and it will die because IT CANT COMPETE WITH WOW!!! WOW is just better at being a WOW type game and always will be so please please please change the comabt by all means but go in a different direction im beghing you jagex ive put up with a lot but this is just getting stupid

Yeah...i'm sure you've gotten the message by now, Jagex, that A LOT of people don't like the changes in the Beta right now.
I have to agree with them all. Runesape is Runescape. It is original. It is amazing the way it is. If we wanted combat bars and short-cut keys (wtvr u call them, idk!) and really complex combat and abilities, we would have gone to WOW or Last Chaos or what ever. But no.
We didn't, Jagex, we chose you. We chose Runescape. We chose this amazing game you've created because it is just that. It is amazing. It is original. The combat system is just the way we like it. Simple. FUN.
I watched some of the videos that you posted, and i heard some of the developers mentioning that they wanted the way we fight to make our avatars seem more alert. Yes, they did that pretty well, but I just don't like it. It makes combat seem very slow, the way the avatar seems all tense and ready to fight, and then seems to attack super slowly. it just makes it BORING, and I have NEVER thought that the fighting in RS was boring. Quite an accomplshment actualy.
The new range and mage equipment are great. But the fact that armour adds to hp? not so great. Armour adds to your defense bonuses, and that's enough. it would be fine if it were only present in high level armours or rewards from quests as a bonus, but not on normal everyday armour. it just makes it too complicated and WAY overpowered.
I also think the Combat level system should stay just the way it is now. We don't want it to be easier to get the max cblvl, because that would take away the CHALLENGE of it, thus taking away the FUN of it. Higher levels deserve respect because they have spent years of hard-earned training in mutiple skills to get to where tehy are today. Don't take that away from them. It's not right, it's not fair, and it shouldn't happen.
You said that nothing in the Beta was set in stone. Thank you for that, beacuse a lot needs to be changed before it can be released.
