@KingRangZ - Please keep things on-topic. :)

@Rex and bass / Snoedragon44 - Let's talk about the content of the video rather than rumour and hearsay, thanks! :)

I totally loved killing ice strykewyrms for my slayer task! The only problem i saw was that the adrenaline bar didn't go up fast enough for me to actually use the threshhold or ultimate abilities. But, that was probably because mage totally owned the wyrms =)

Magic is nurfed now. Rune prices are crashing because Abilities>Runes. Ancient Magics have just been totally destroyed. Ice barrage only hold for 5 seconds? Yeah Thanks jagex. I trained 99 Magic = Pointless.

The whole appeal of Magic has gone. Magic was for people who worked hard to buy or make the runes, and rewarded by being powerful. Now every Tom, Richard, And Noob can purchase runes and go spam-happy on the abilities. Magic and Range, my two favorite skills, are left broken at my feet.

This is your game Jagex, its your intellectual property, but for God's sake, look at how many peopel are online, over the course of 3 days I have never seen it peak over 100K, and I have checked at all times of the day.

There was literally NOTHING wrong with the old combat system, it lasted you 10 years. Dont fix what aint broken Jagex. From one Brit to another.

This is really too complex to appeal to me. There is too much involved in trying to figure out what abilities are best for each individual setting, armor/weapon and monster. It would also be more useful to have a video that is post eoc launch, as the "free" armor he used in the video is not readily available to players now. The most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.

While I'm sure this is an excellent guide, it is unfortunately difficult for me to understand its contents as the narrator's accent is far too strong. Would your community team consider creating a transcript of the narrator's dialogue?
Here, I'll give you this strawberry if you keep it a secret!

@ Crlstina

More effective combat triangle? Nah.... That's not effective as you say. The triangle is poorly built for the game. If a warrior meets a mage he/she gets destroyed. Same for every class, superrior class dominates. I'm sorry to say this but seriously is there a way to even withstand a superrior class in this update? I can't seem to find a way. If Jagex reads this please rethink the whole triangle again, it kills PvP.
