Is this Silkroad?
Is this WOW?
Is this Guild Wars?
Why doesn't jagex just put a link of these games on home page? Don't try to Change Runescape into a game it isn't please? I liked the simple runescape game, if it realy going to change, then i think i should just play one of above mentioned games cuz they are a more advanced form of the "New" Runescape.

I think what jagex did in the last weeks is a FAIL.

So jagex is changing combat but i dont think it should be changed 1st of all is that there is not too many things wrong with the system we use now and that means that it does not have to be changed! I really hope the combat rework does not happen cause i really enjoy this game and i dont want it to be ruined cause that would probably make me quit.
I really hope that you understand that the change is not needed.

i think this new combat system has potential but there are things that do bother me. 1. the weapon attack styles shouldn't be only one style, it fun getting to use different weapons in different ways but having them just do one thing is pointless and boring. 2. will we be getting more prayer points in the future because i just tried to solo corp in the beta and he is able to 2 hit my 990 prayer points because of how much hp and damge we can hit which also brings me to soul split will it be getting changed too because i feel like it is still going to be unfair prayer wise to players because i've maxed out with a 5k damage hit before and currently as it stands that would transfer to a +1000 hp gain, and would also get rid of 500 prayer points which is over half of our maximum prayer points. 3. our weapons damage, and armour defence bonuses. they need to remain the same because just like the weapons it encourages us to actually think about how we fight and i can say that for a fact because i have recently started pking again honestly having to actually think ok whats this armours weakness and what can i use to get the advantage go thru my head and at the same time i'm thinking of how i can get the defensive advantage as well but with your new system all we have is damage and total defense which just means all i have to do is just spam my skills until i get an ult and redo. i am honestly sad that you want to give us skills instead of weapon specials but it is a good idea, i just think you need to re evaluate the whole ''combat'' part of the beta and incorperate the actual runescape into it instead of a new game. i fear that you are going to ruin this amazing game with this new update because you want something ''new'' but really you just need to improve what you HAVE.

Overall, I enjoy the combat beta's changes. But with great power, comes great responsibility.
I've taken the liberty of running around runescape testing the PvM aspect of the combat beta. I can honestly say, I'm not impressed. Monsters that use to be levels upon levels above me and that would make me run through an entire inventory of food within half an hour are now 30+ levels less than me, and, though the fight is extended longer than it use to be, is overall too easy. The Mature Grotworms, for example, are probably the most competitve mob for me. I use my normal equipment to test how easy they would be in a realistic fight for me. I don't need any food, and keep in mind that that's with the bug that 3 or 4 matures are attacking me at once. I think the concept of the abilities and their power should be reevalutated. I spent a good while in the Duel Arena as well. I can honestly say that killing lvl 200's is A LOT easier than killing 170's and 180's (me being a lvl 152 in the beta).
besides all of that, the only other negative thing I can say about the beta besides the frequency of finding bugs is the fact that prayer and constitution no longer affect cb lvl (3 kudos for summoning not affecting cb anymore) and the fact that dungeoneering has been pretty much completely ruined using the beta version. I can't be sitting here with a sick a## combo killing lvl 200 players, then turning around and getting stuck in a room with a lvl 100 bat all because I don't have any armor (without armor in daemonheim, your health remains whatever your normal rs health is, so for me, 750, which means I can be killed in 3 hits, with or without my healing abilities). So so far, I'm liking the major changes that have been made, but the whole idea of using this kind of combat needs to be tweaked a good bit here and there. Good job though Jaggex :)
P.S. Please correct this whole 12 month membership problem. I came to this thread looking for opinions and all I saw were whinny brats -_-
