It all looks very nice and tutorial was great (should of came out sooner) My only problem is with the ability bar going down so fast between kills I even noticed on the first part of the video you didn't try to pick up dropped items.
Ofc you were showing off how well the new system worked and not what you could pick up but had you bothered to pick up what was dropped like almost all of us will be doing it would show that you must start over building it up.
It would be even better if the bar didn't dissipate so fast
Thank you

Great guide and I think that this update has some great potentials, however there are a lot of things that needs fixing.
Jagex created this update because they wanted the game to survive in the future and since you did, please don't mess this up.
The past year 90% of the updates have been *##T since you've "spent all your time working on the EoC".
True or not please don't make this game die, if you don't want the old system FINE.
Read as much feedback as you can and change the EoC as the players wish, this update is just confusing new players atm and they need a new method to learn it, the old tutorial in the troll warzone is not enought anymore, also introduce them to dual wielding.
Also you have to fix the screen for fixed mode, you have to be able to temporarily remove your chat bar or make it smaller since it takes up way to much space on the small screen and you can't really see what's going on.
That's all I have to say and oh, before I forget, please fix the nex sets... they need some buffing since they are pretty **** atm and they got no special effects appart from being "best".
They used to have a life-point boost but now when that's gone they don't have a effect which resulted in the price crashing a lot.
That's all I have to say so please listen to your players feedback and don't mess this one up. ~ Kind regards, I Claws J ~ Veteran since 2006.

As a 5 year vet, i really dont support this update, i think most of the people who support the update are new players, since they haven't really played for a while and don't know the game any better. The veterans that support eoc probably don't train combat much, and don't care. Last week, i could log on and see 125000 people on, a few years ago i could log on and see 225000 people on, when i started in 2007, i would see probably 300000 people logged in. The game's slowly dying, and i'm just waiting for my membership to run out :| i won't quit for a few months, because i'm hoping jagex will remove this update, but if they don't, i probably will.

And in the eoc, theres gonna be glitches and bugs, and i can guaruntee that the players who find them out by pure coincidence and don't take advantage of them will still be banned regardless, because jagex is notorious for that. ^_^

I am a old player (6 years+). I might actually be trying combat more with eoc. The old system just seemed too dull for really long battling.
I do get why some vetrens are upset though - they have homed their skills mostly around exploiting suble glitchs and holes in the engine. Theres so little "base" skill in the old system they have almost hacked it into having skill with elitely precise timing and such. With all that gone or changed its no wonder they are [word for annoyed thats a little rude].

Its pretty indisputable this system gives a lot more real tactics in the long run though. Provided the game is set challenging enough and balanced so people cant just spam at the keys, you could have some really elaborate fights now.
Might take awhile to really get to that stage though.

It is too time consuming to learn this new Combat.

I also have a Real Life. So I can’t play RuneScape all the hours of the day.


Because of this I liked RuneScape when it was nice and simple to play.


An example

When I was using Magic my magic armour/etc was

Magic attack = 115
Magic defence = 128

This info has now gone. Plus the armour/etc icons in the picture are hard to see.

It is now hard to see the best Magic armour/etc I have, and how it adds up like above.



Also (while I’m here) I liked (before) using the Polypore Staff on Black Dragons in the Evil Chicken's Lair where the Safe Spots are (where). This is hard to do now because the Black Dragons shoot something back at you. There are no Safe Spots now in the Evil Chicken's Lair. And Super Antifire pots don’t fully protect you. And before I did*’t (did not) need to use these pots in the Safe areas.

page 2! W00T! W00T!

I'm glad somebody else mentioned the drop or fight problem, so it's not just me, huh? 'Dren needs to fall off a bit slower, both for the Con/Def abilities to heal up, and the need to pick up drops to make the trip worthwhile (or at least gold-neutral-ish). This is especially true for training Slayer; I understand that there's always a choice in terms of XP/GP, but this is a bit stark. Kills as fast as are manageable, and go broke, or pick up everything and take forever for one assignment? Uhhhh... choice C???

Can we have more stab and crush weapons back? I notice that waterfiends still have a slight weakness for crush, yet my SS, D2H, etc. all fail me. I'm stuck turning to range (working on it, honest!) or using a Dmace or 2, which is not all that good either. Many people are turning to Barrows weapons and gear just for the sake of the weapon style. Dweaps used to be fairly viable, but not anymore. :(

Yeah, noticed the goldseller ads, and Runeshark's other vid featured a lame Elite clue reward. Yet again I'd like to push for TT's to <siphon petrol> less.

Can you please lower health on GWD bosses?

They have too much health and its dreadfully boring to spam abilities for 2 minutes to get crappy loot.

Their respawn times should get looked at as well because there's like 1-2 minutes of idle time between kills...
