This is going to be ****. I honestly believe that when this update comes out, I'm quitting. When I go out into the wild, I can't see what the **** is going on, it's just random **** flying everywhere. This is a JAVA game, not WoW. Don't try to make it what it's not. It's an online java game, and will never be anything more. Please, for the sake of everyone, don't release this, or I'm going to private servers.

i do not like this update xp rates need to be balanced i was gaining 700+ exp for killing a hill giant that of which 531 xp went to defence and the rest to hp. when i was on the range attack style i gained around 250 xp that of which 53 xp went to lvling range. this needs to be changed. i also tried to pvp and was stunned and killed within 3 seconds even with my 3000 hp boost. ='[ boo.

Many updates have come and gone throughout the history of RuneScape.
Some I have loved.
Some I have been cool with.
Some I have not cared about.
Some I have hated.
Some I have wondered where Jagex even came up with such a horrible thing.
I have stuck with RuneScape through them all though.
But this.....this Evolution of Combat...this does not even fall into one of those categories. It would fall into the category of "Worst update ever".
Because of this update...I quit. Goodbye RuneScape. Was nice knowing you. Too bad you had to go and die because of some idiot developers that weren't even there at your birth decided that money is more important than player satisfaction.

I was kinda stoked about the beta and mad that I didn't get in. I youtube'd it though and I LOVE IT. There are a few suggestions that I might add after reading some of the comments and watching videos. I belive I have a full grasp on the whole new combat system. Sorry but my bias is for Jagex, general population of RuneScape ;) .
"I don't get how when you equip certain armour your max hitpoints are increased or decreased, and then it takes way too long to wait for your hitpoints to restore themselves, this causes a food waste. I don't mind max hitpoints being increased but for it to really be effective hitpoints would have to increase rapidly or at least stay the same if switching armour. " - Saint Vexx
I second this opionion and suggest a very fast HP regeneration while not in danger or in 'resting mode'. With a regularly increase ten fold, which you probably already have. Also for HP to restore itself after taking the armor off, doing this by keeping the same percentage while switching armors.
I really hope that you keep the slow monster killing and make slayer LESS monsters to balance it to make it the same amount of work. To make it harder to level would be a huge diservice to everyone. I do realize the amount of EXP in contrary to years ago is majorly increased this is however, not a reason to punish "legit" players.
One more thing, it seems so obvious tho. I say that the combat level should be based on all combat skills added together.
Theres more but I'm sure you have enough to do RS!

PvP is also ruined :(
Channeling abilities are too powerful and makes "lucky KO" hits non existent.
Runescape PKing has been killed. It was so unique compared to other games, now its also like WoW.
I don't like WoW that's why I have been playing Runescape for 7 years.
I think many agree with me.

I tried it out but really don't like the combat level I have. In regular rs I'm a 107 on the new beta I'm lvl 200. That's Max. So I'm expected to deal with people that truly are maxed.
To add to that I am a range tank and none of the cross bows can shoot any bolts higher than regular rune? Really?
Once again range is the red-headed stepchild of rune scape.
I spent about an hour getting my butt kicked at duel arena and logged out. I'm convinced the account I have will not work in the new beta and I hope that some of that gets fixed before it goes mainstream.
I truly wish one of the people that are complaining would have been drawn instead of me. I feel like I'm wasting it by not logging back on to it.
Done with beta.
