P.S.- The other 2 reasons are the complete ease xp can be gained through EOC as well as the hotkey/abilities addition. Teleportation spells, teletabs, teleportation equipment, etc. have all been rendered obsolete due to free unlimited quicktravel.
Lastly, and this one is the biggest one- Having 78hp level and having 29437865237646 hitpoints is completely pointless, hitting mathematically the same amount. Why is it necessary for a player to have monolithic amounts of health and damage output when it was far more comprehensive and not to mention logical to have a hp amount identical to your hp level. Sure there is the psychological fallacy of misscontrived power deriving from illogically large numbers of health/damage, but the real practicality of that system is nil.


Having larger numbers of health allows people to strike small portions of health that stack up to larger numbers each time. I.E. Hitting 1025 will stack up to 4100 over 4 hits, it's kind of like having decimals, but to make it look cleaner you just extend it into a larger number altogether instead.

Edit: It's not so much about hitting so high to get a feel of power (Japanese games seemingly do this, but you just end up with astronomical numbers like over 1,000,000 or 9000 (Couldn't resist). It's more about the math behind the scenes so people that have a slight advantage of say, 100 damage from wearing a full set of Bandos or Armadyl, Etc. have that advantage. You see you get a damage bonus of 36 or whatever from wearing a BCP, which will help your offence more in the future.

(Although this point is basically null now that they nerfed all GWD armours. Barrows armours are stronger by quite a bit, but just lack any damage bonus or prayer bonus.)

Love the new interface, as weird as it is because of it being different. But I have a few questions, and while this might not be the thread I need to post them on, but I'll ask them anyways.

1) Am I the only one that lags a lot in the beta? Whenever I first log in and occasionally other times, my screen will keep turning like I have an arrow key pressed down, when in fact I do not. Just curious to see if I need to look at my connection speed or not.

2) I have a quick suggestion to throw out...I know I'm probably not the only one to get annoyed sometimes by having too many things open at once, whether it be the chat bar, or the inventory, or whatever. Is there a possibility that there could be an option to minimize, or hide these individual sections on the screen so it doesn't look so clustered (excluding the action bar and other necessities of course)? Just throwing it out there as myself and a few other fellow players were discussing it in the Grand Exchange a little while ago, and thought it would be a good idea. :)

And my final question: 3) How's the work on the tablet going? I'm not trying to ask for all kinds of details and whatnot, I'm merely just curious to see how it's progressing...it'd give me a good reason to use my tablet again. :P

Thank you Jagex for making a great and fantastic game for my childhood and teen years! Can't wait to see this turn-out! Hope to be working with you guys one day...it's been a dream of mine for years. :)

Cheers!

This is off topic but , I have a spiked pony tail and none of my hats show up when I were them ... I have been playing rs for 9 years and have had many of the problems that have been talked about thru the years with java errors being the most ... I've had to replace about 3 computers during this time ... atm this one has been no trouble playing rs ... I'm 60 yrs old and rs keeps me busy since I have stage 4 cancer ... keeps my mind off it for a while at least ... so what ever happens remember I wish u love -joy - and happiness ... keep up the good work.
