Im not saying what i think about eoc in total, but... Im doing slayer mostly and now im stuck. The antifire shield and polly staff... The old favorite method for steel and iron drags is not working anymore 'cuz you can not wield shield + staff? Wdh is wrong with you jagex? How am I supposed to kill steels then?

The eoc update is a step forward for runescape which i really like, but i feel jagex changed runescape to much. First off i hate how they changed the weakness for most of the monsters, i mean really why even consider that when people are use to the monsters before the update. What i liked before this update was you could choose what type of attack style you wanted to use to kill the monster of your choice, but now you have to find out the weakness of the monster and do that specific style. You have taken away the freedom of choice for combat which i really dislike.

Second would have to be the protect prayers, why on earth would you nerf these prayers by 50% when the game before the update protected 100%. Before the update the protect prayers would protect players from 100% of the damage dealt, but now monsters hit through your prayer which i find over powered especially when fighting bosses or trying to get to Jad.

Jagex needs to pay close attention to these forms since the eoc update came out today. I understand you cant please every player out there with this update, but i feel you are losing players because you change certain aspects from the old game which players really enjoyed. People are use to the old game, so you guys should incorporate what worked before and put it in the eoc. Jagex needs to listen to what players like and dislike, if they dont then of course people will stop playing this game, and as a result Jagex will lose money. I really like the eoc update but what i dislike most about it is how you guys have nerfed the protect prayers by 50%, and how you have change monsters weakness taking away the players choice of attack style.

Listen to what players have to say because they are the blood that flows through your companies veins, and with out them your company dies

The impact of Evolution of Combat on Slayer and Prayer has been the cause of much discussion among the community. During the beta, many players commented that Prayer was underpowered and that Slayer was now too intensive with the new ability system. To remedy this, we are increasing the buffs that Prayer offers for the EoC launch, and a couple of months ago we unveiled the Momentum ability to aid players with lengthy, low-intensity combat.


so prayer was underpowered; u didn't get that from me but to the point; and ur idea of fixing this is all monsters now hit through prayer. i must say your logic eludes me.

so in turn i think i need to play more often so ill do that by not playing!

Jagex, you have changed so much since the first time I played. I remember logging onto this game and loving the new updates you have been making. Now, with all of you're investors, you are putting out all of this "crap" content that is making the players mad. In order to make you're players happy, you should actually be listening to the players and making polls on what the updates should be. It makes me so sick of how you forced the update Evolution of Combat. You should stop thinking of what makes you money and start to actually think of customer satisfaction for a change don't you think? You guys have done me wrong along with all of the Veteran Runescape players. Shame on you Jagex.

Sincerely,
pokemoster5

gee jagex do you even read player feedback?
The problem with slayer on Eoc is not low vs high intensity combat, it's the monster weaknesses. Each player has a preferred combat style to train slayer with, for the majority it is melee. Now you're forcing us to use the styles we don't like, to do the simplest slayer tasks. This is NOT FUN.

a simple solution: each time we take a task give us a choice between 3 monsters - one weak to melee, second to range, and third to mage.
