not put penalties in that black box on top of the monster we are attacking. if we have the abilities bar above, they conflict. and if we have to attack multiple monsters only see black bars.

if you have the ability bar minimize, can not press the button esc

I can not put things in the bank, only through the button to empty the whole bag

Like it a lot that we now can size/re-size all the Information panels and move it around. And the re-structure of the info also gives sense.

But...can someone please point me to a page/document where shortcut-keys are listed for the beta version ?

Issues that I am unable to find the resolution for in the forums:
- Used to moving the camera angle around (and my person's view) via use of the arrow keys on the keyboard. I can't do that in beta ? I am stuck with a camera turning North no matter what way my person turns. I really don't want to play with a limitation like that.

Btw...agree with several comments ....please consider to allow us to minimize/hide the panels totally. The Management Interfaces (BackPack etc) minimizes okay and the Navigation (home teleport, map, camera, mini-map etc) Panel is also okay but I really would like to be HIDE (or extermly mini minimize) the chat panel/window totally (and currently I have not found a way to do it).

I really enjoy the beta a lot; I can't wait for it to go live. Plus the option of reliving my childhood by doing Old School relights the Runescape fire xD

The only thing I'm kinda panicking about is that my progress isn't saved into the live game. Does this mean all of that progress is lost? Or will the profile on the Beta server transcend when RS3 becomes live?

I'd really like to know so I don't waste any more time grinding skills >****;

I don't know which is worse for this beta, the fact that people aren't posting, or the fact that the video said many things could be done, but didn't say how. I have dealt with used car salesmen that didn't gloss over important points as much.

How do we resize the dialog box for NPCs?

Why does the XP counter have so much blank space in it, and why is it partly taking the same space as the minimap?

Why is the minimap set up with the other buttons inside the frame?

Why can't we set the action bar buttons to click only without connection to the keyboard?

Why does the action bar take up so much space when "closed"?

Why do all the chat settings seem so hard to set up?

Why not just allow us to make the same sort of chat settings as we currently can in the live game?

Are you going to make a tutorial showing how to remove all the clutter?

What's wrong with having things share the same space and be brought to the front like they are at this time in the live game?

Why can't we click the cursor into a line of chat input for editing instead of backspacing to the error, and having to retype everything after the edit?

From my point of view, you should let us start with what we already have, and customize from there.


I hope someone bothers to read this post, but I suspect that the thread is dead already.

Wait how much exp we talking about here?

Cause basically, my attitude towards the NIS is "Why bother...Its just spending time doing things that i would have to do again in the main game."

Basically, why spend an hour doing stuff in NIS, when i could spend an hour in the live game and get a few hundred thousand exp...Exp rewards for aiding in the NIS would indeed help there.

I read the information about the beta version being available for F2P, so I took one of my accounts into the beta server, and much to my surprise it turned out to be just a huge advertisement to join members. After a short period of time, the screen went grey and started to flash, and a button appeared to join members. This tells me that there is a certain lack of integrity. First, you do not need to mislead people into thinking they are beta testing, when they really are not. If Jagex wants to retain players, there is a trust issue that must be bridged, and being dishonest is not how that bridge is built.

With that said, I did like the direction of the interface, but for new players it will be overwhelming. New players have difficulty with the current interface, and the new one is technically great, but also far more complex. For the experienced player, they will be able to make the adjustments quite easily.

The most difficult part was trying to exit out, after being hit with the grey advertisement screen, and not having any significant time to to actually learn the interfaces finer mechanisms.
