The thing I would like to ask about slayer is since the combat levels are being changed what will be the combat levels required to use the different slayer masters?

I have looked on the FAQ and havent seen it but tell me to just go back there if it is.

yea my problem is i don't think you have done enough beta testing .......and did you ever check and see if royal crossbow can be used in pvp(i remember it being a pvm weapon)(while we are on the subject of royal cross bow can you make it so if the qbd uses the extremely hot breath it will automatically brandish the cross bow as long as its unforged in your in your inventory).....everywhere is multiple attack does that mean gano are in a multi attack area if it is then that could be very lame because people could steal your drop or half your slayer xp if they attack your monster.)i hope you can fix the half slayer xp)(if all the polypore dungeon is multi attack now that would kind of destroy the purpose of making a multi attack dungeoneering portal thingy....yea)slayer tasks that are weak to magic will be amazing cause now with runes costs down i could barrage+cannon+familiar the cake out of my task......i kind of feel like you have made bandos useless with the barrows upgrade....and with 2handed weapons doing more damage per minute i don't know if fast weapons will be of any usefulness any more.....i really do kind of miss the old runescape at least you kind of gave short cuts like at god wars with the lv 1-5 goblins now its a pain to get the kills required to enter boss rooms.(yea it took a really long time to get the kills the other night it was very depressing) prayer is kind of lame now im going to miss that to...im really going to miss that multi attack vine whip special attack and the random poison damage.(do you think you could add the poison weapon effect from the weapon poison++or+ to the whip and make it so it does it randomly like the god swords.)from what im hearing alot of players like runescape the way it is now can you make a runescape2 server for your veteran player you say you care for.

Wow that stings the eyes.

I much preferred the stat boost indicator on the Prayer menu, I know it wasn't much use but was nice to see how much my stats were boosted from prayers.

Turmoil, Anguish and Torment claim to increase their respective stats by "a fixed amount" and drains the enemies respective stats "increasing over time".

Does anybody know the percentages of these boosts and drains?

yeah right on! the lithuanian is my favorite scaping vlogger! love that guy!

I was kinda sad he wasn't invited to beta right away and I am stoked to see jagex cite him!

right on! I am just as excited to play eoc style as he is! cool!

edit: tbh the main thing eoc lacks is its complement with a massive rework of the website's own skill guide to give us lots of browsable info to mull easily over when we can't be logged in and playing per se. to some extent the old skill guide at this site was much easier to look through, but I see how the new pages are easier to update and maintain, so I hope there is something new coming for the website manual to accompany eoc.
I have quit rsof because moderator found comments about darklight bonus damage on demons "off topic" for wildy flash mobs full of demons

If you want the opinion of someone who completed the academy for more than just getting the XP, here I am.

I have played through the combat academy and I can honestly say, it is the most idiotic update JaGeX has made to the game (other than SoF and Solomon). I understand that people have played EoC and some enjoyed it, but more than half of the players who haven't quit already joined because of the simplicity (including me) that RuneScape offered. If I wanted to play a complex game I would play LoL or WoW. Not saying that it is becoming LoL or WoW, just saying it is becoming a complex game.

RuneScape (to me) is one of the only games left that you can AFK in almost any skill and chat with friends, even combat, which is completely reworked and ruined in the EoC. I do not want to button mash/ use momentum (which still makes XP worse) every ten minutes.

EoC is the main reason most of my friendslist (and I) have quit the actual game. The only reason I stay on the forums is to check up on the progress of the community and see some of the new updates JaGeX is making to the game.

Also, if players don't play on the servers, yes it can be because (obviously) they do not get anything in return other than playing on a 'beta' and wasting time on what soon will be the real game. However, most of the people I know have played on the beta servers and will not do the academy because they either find it too confusing or another way that JaGeX is forcing the RS community to 'enjoy' and agree to the update. For example, the poll at the end of the academy was biased. There were no options against EoC. They were all complementing the EoC and you could not skip anyway of the questions because you HAD to answer them in order to get the XP.

Thank you for reading this. I would like to hear your replies.

Mod Mike:
"1. Monsters should be non-aggressive now so you wont get 'ganked' by loads all attacking you at once. In terms of XP, the first person to hit a monster effectively "tags" it, and only they get the xp for it, no matter how much damage other people do to it. Note this doesn't apply to bosses, such as the God Wars bosses - they still share out their xp like before. "



If this is the case, please tell me you have thought about people teaming up to give 1 person insane amounts of exp? like.. one person attacks a montster, (group of people kill it really fast) then doing it over and over to give that one person a lot of exp.

Looking forward to the update.

If combat xp is increased, so be it. Keep in mind folks, back in 2002, you were looking at 12-15k combat exp per hour. Now it is like 80k+. The one rule of thumb for Runescape skills: exp rates will always increase.
