After playing Beta, I like it. However, i would like to make two suggesions
*My two Beta suggestions
1) Prayer- Maybe its just me but I have a hard time telling which prayers are activated. The little yellow circle around the prayer is just not obvious enough. Maybe the entire little circle could light up or something.
2) At the GE when I am near lots of people and everyone is talking, there is a horrible constant lag.
Other than that great update Jagex!!

Outstanding! I'm loving this. I'm not much for combat, but this has changed things. There is one problem with the rock monsters down in the dwarf mine dungeon. When they are killed, they jump back up and only have one life point. You have to mine them to have them spawn with full life points. Mining them reduced your adrenaline level greatly. If someone goes down before you and defeats all the rock guardians, they will jump back up and you will only get one hit point. Need to have them spawn fully without having to mine them first.

Overall, Great Update.
I really enjoy the dual wielding, action bars, and new combat abilites.
There are a several things that I don't like about the new updates. I dont agree with having to fight monsters your lvl to gain exp; for being lvl 200, all monsters that I would normally fight I wouldn't gain any exp for being more than 30 lvls higher than them. You want encourage us to fight stronger monsters other than cows but the only thing that we could fight would be bosses. Not everyone wants to go out bossing.
The weapon specific specials need to come back, or atleast be able to activate them. Like Korasi's, Enhanced Excalibur, Dragon Spear. How do you want us to defeate the Pest Queen without using the special or shoving Zenevivia off her platforms? The Excalibur special is always handy whether you're skilling, slayer, or PVP. Some people use it down in Brimmy Agility Arena, or Living Rock Cavern to save on food spaces and it is a free shark (or 2) every 5 minutes. I do know that the Ultimate Ability: Rejuvenate is the equivalent of Excalibur and that it is very nice and handy.

The Goliath Gloves had no affect in hand to hand combat nor did the Karmaja Gloves and Femmy Sea Boots had no stats either.
Making all Staves two handers could be a problem. People that use Polypore might use Antifire/Dragonfire or a Unholy Book whilest in combat. For while fighing Iron and Steel Dragons, anti fire potion and a shield come in handy but not everyone has the herblore lvl to make super anti fire potions. The shield staff combo is also helpful in making fire/water orbs for those that do not wish to go into the wilderness to make air orbs. Having elemental wands or orbs would be a nice addition to use. Also I could not use the Polypore's magic but I did bash a few monsters on the head.
I have never really been a fan of your combat magic but the new abilites are amazing. The Detonate ability needs a little graphic rework with capes cutting through your hind end.

One thing I do not really understand, well watching a Beta test Pvp vid I saw the items "offhand Dragon scimitar" and "offhand other junk"...............whats the point? Are they not just crowding the game with unnecessary data? Why do we need an "Offhand Dragon Scimitar"? Why in the world cant we just have Dragon scimitar and Dragon scimitar?.........hm? Am I the only dude who has realized this?
A question about the duel wielding, can you have a Dragon Scimitar and a Dragon dagger at the same time, or have they made it so linear you cant mix and match which would be both cooler and more realistic.

Jagex Please Read This Message:
1. The organization of the abilities tab is atrocious.
2. Great Job On Duel Wielding.
3. Great Job On Trying To Balance Melee, Range, and Magic.
4. Add Unique Weapon Specials Back.
5. Don't Make The Character Look like he has a 2x4 up his ass while he runs.
6. Take off the 9000 LP. I'm not Queen Black Dragon FFS! I enjoyed having 940 LP.
7. Original Combat Levels would be highly appreciated. The reason i say this is because I made a PvP account which took Months to customize and specialize and that account will become Garbage.
8. Great Job on the quick key.
9. Horrible new chat options.
10. I hope this Update is an inside Joke within your studios.

Conclusion: Update the Combat System, Do not Change It!!! This is a little too far. I have been playing this game for a decade and know what is good for it and what is bad for it. I hope you take my opinion into consideration because I'm sure you guys love my monthly checks... might not be there after this update.

the beta is very sad. if i wanted to assemble an action bar and spend weeks in testing stages trying to find a good rhythm i would've started playing "World of Warcraft" again, because that's all this is. i play runescape because it does not require that kind of commitment. forcing players to use this action bar makes me quite upset. runescape does not need change, it needs another bot nuke if anything.

Howdy .... I luv the new combat,.. still hard for me but I will learn.
Feedback..
1- Girl characters always are are the back burner as far as Armour and clothing .. Even now the Skirts have been changed to long pants skirts ... The new beta has the females looking horrible, very skinny and unfinished. I know that this is mostly a boys game but girls like to look good as well as kick but.
2- The HP/ lifepoints is atrocious, when changing armor the lifepoints go down and then when you change back you need to eat again, not having taken any damage. just horrible, ... If I have full HP in grand exchange and remove my shield and walk around and then put my shield on again I have to eat to be full hp....
3- Great job, I am really excited to see the evolution
