@ elf of realm
This is so that you cannot switch combat styles during combat as you can currently, DUH. When you start a fight it is a test of skill not who brought more armor combos to take you down. That is part of interfacing which jagex decided is not runescape anymore.

Hey Jagex! I am loving this update!
More timing skill involved i have been playing runescape for 6 years now and its really annoying to be fighting some one like 2 combat lvls higher than you and they slaughter you without ever hitting them, with this new combat style i can out move/smart way higher lvls and win!!! Keep it up hatters going to hate!!!
P.S Thanks for making tanking possible!!! Deff matters now!!!

I understand your goal was to make defence a lot more worth training, but after playing the beta for about 15 minutes, I am extremely disappointed.
First off, I believe you should've never gone through with the evolution of combat and it is simply going to turn Runescape into another average rpg, but I am not simply typing to this to rage.
If you guys are going to use an outrageous combat formula like the one in the beta, then atleast pair it with meaningful advantages to having a higher defence level, because at the moment, they are strongly lacking.

The obvious advantages are that you have more life points and dont get 2 hit killed? L0l
People who want be be pures with 1 def will now find that other pures will just one hit them that have 80+ atk and str, with an ability ofc.

The update is very awesome! But I have one thing that I don't like too much.
In my opinion, it seems that weapons are now overpowered. An example is that today I killed a Black Dragon without any food and I used 2 Chaotic Longswords, and I'm only level 82 Attack, Strength, 81 Defence, and 165 Combat (In normal Runescape, I would be 105).
Of course however, this was just a 154 Black Dragon. I have yet to try out a Tormented Demon or a Mithril Dragon.
Another thing that bothers me, but I can get used to it, is that you have to click the chat box, or press the enter key to chat to other people.
I do believe though that you have gotten my report of the Eye-Glowing glitches. If you haven't, well the Eye-Glowing Auras appear to be on the cheeks (Looks like your blushing if you use Infernal Gaze :P )

i am pretty much new to the whole combat thing because i have never really been into killing things tbh but after fighting bandos for the first time and actualy not dieing and feeling like a noob i actualy have started to love combat and want to do it all the time but after playing the combat bata i am kindly disapointed i dont wana rage or anything but i find it a bit to complicated to actualy kill things i mean comba is hard enough for me as it is and others as well and now that this is coming out i think its a bit to much i like the regular old combat style and also my computer laggs really bad when iam in high view so i always keep it on low and with all the extra stuff on my screen my screen becomes like 3 inches big and i dont like that at all so i think u should give it an option to use the reg combat and use the new combat if u do release it perminatly bc i know alot of ppl that dont understand it especialy somone like my sell who is just entering the combat world so if u dont mind plz consider the ones who dont like the gameto be to complicated where they dont even wanna get on anymorebc of it thank you for reading my post im sorry to rant alil bit <3

beta is really fun, love abilities... i dont know if this was on purpose but i cant use onyx (e) bolts with a rune crossbow now, also, the rat pole is glitched. When you equip it it appears on your back, but if there are rats on it, the rats float by the players right shoulder.
you should make the abilities stronger and weaker based on weapons, i found that a bronze dagger can hit a 5k max and so can a chaotic max, that means if u have the level for ability, you can hit a 5k, and a stun + backhand easily hits 1k+ on general graardor
theres obviously going to be players that hate the update, so there should be some worlds without the cb update (ls and non ls, with all minigames). this way, more players will be satisfied and more people will play, honestly, letting the player choose between old and new would work fine
