@Jeppiel - On your first concern I'd say it should 80% or 70% for melee or mage on black demons to make it noticeable and not completely make melee or mage useless against them.

On your second concern I don't believe they want to change the combat level, but due to the players raising few combat skills (training range and defence nothing else) they manage to have a combat skill that a high level player would have while still being at a low level. The result, they're able to kill many low levels players who train their stats equally with ease. I like things. Combat-related things. I don't like Brains...but I still got them on dxp(
My Bernie dreams live on....
).

all i can say is the game is not runescape anymore and i don't no how you can say it is. did jagex not win the golden joystick award for what runescape was and not for what it is now?


the games was dieing anyway and you clearly saw because of this update but why did you not just put the new wepons in aka dubble wapons all the tweeks and bits and bob you have in the eoc but whats with the hp ? the hits? all that junk.


theres no need to be able to hit 1344 or 6743 on a player the 1-99 was fine got use to the 100-999 but now its abit much i agree with the first comment on here it feels like jagex are not listening to any of us players that put u were you are today? if it was not for us jagex would not be as far as you have goten today ( and may i saw what a great job you did until now) im not quitting im going to get use to the game because i love to play runescape but all the players want is for yo to listen.

listen to what we as paying player have to say.

ps. hello oh and ye i cant spell

Sadly, though the EoC is intended to make boss fights more engaging and meaningful in the future, it currently devalues the bosses we've got in the live game.


For example, K*D has and always will be considered a mid to low level boss. He's the big baddie of dragons, to be sure, but he's the oldest existing boss we've got, with average quality drops at best. Many of us have been killing KBD since combat 100-110 without too much trouble.

Now? It matters not which combat method, equipment, and food you bring, you will not get nearly as many kills as you did prior to EoC release.

The same is true for GWD Bosses as well.


What is the logic in making Armadyl, who for all intents and purposes is a tier 70 (level 70 gear, where we've got 99 possible levels), much harder to kill, for equipment that is also much less desirable due to the normalization of item tiers (i.e. GWD armor = Barrows armor)

As far as I can see, there is no logic.

The most obvious differences are in the length of time to finish a kill, and the amount of damage being done to the player. KBD shouldn't take near as long as it's taking to kill currently when I'm using a complete full set of pernix, zaryte bow, fury/archer, and Steel Titan + Ovls as a 138 (200).

Hi Jagex I just wanna say that i dont really like tis update.Normally i do bosses with my other account i was trying to kill one but because of the new lifepoints it was much harder to kill one. So my friends and i where thinking about a new lifepoints system, the same as before the eoc but then x10 : 99 constitution means 9900 lifepoints... I really hope that you maybe wanna think about this system or another system is good to, because right now boss killing sucks a little bit... :(

I really love what you, Jagex, have done with the game in this new overhaul. It's really great to see something new after years of the old combat system; the system was nice but as I'm sure you noticed, training combat levels was monotonous and truly a "dungeon-grind". That's not to say I didn't find it enjoyable, it's just been made a lot more engaging with the action-bar and adrenaline. As with any new endeavor there are things to tweak and improve, but the hard work and meticulous planning that went into the EoC is obvious.

I have yet to explore the multitude of options now available to players, but I enjoyed the release yesterday so much that I ended up playing to around 3am.

I understand that it is daunting to some who have played with the old system, "RS 2", for so long. I was confused in the beginning as well but it's really not that difficult to get the hang of and, with time, master. Some things were disappointing at first, such as the lack of poison on my ddp, but in retrospect it's entirely necessary. Otherwise, some weapons would become too overpowered with the new and old attributes combined.

Thank you for your time, perhaps I'll meet you in Gielnor during my travels.

"I guess my point is that by virtue of the fact anyone has time to type when fighting a monster kind of indicates to me the monster didn't need all that much attention in the first place"

This is completely the opposite in dungeoneering, you need to be able to type when fighting a hard monster to call others to help you and tell others how to fight it.

So how are we supposed to go bossing when the connection keeps getting lost? Ping is not an issue as my homeworld of 22 generally has low ping (currently set at 37.) The issue is not on my end as I am able to load other web pages (like the rs forums for example!)

I am doing a steel dragon slayer task and there has been at least 4 disconnects from the server while doing the task. Heck, even in gearing up for the task I lost connection three times.

So tell me, how are we supposed to go bossing when the connection keeps getting lost?
