Dear, Jagex
Overall, I hate it.
Some of the changes are good, I really like the combat bar. But it should just be a tool for how runescape used to be, such as pressing "1" to eat food or "2" to switch to a weapon. Taking summoning from your combat level is a plus.. I guess. I do like the way weapons are holstered. But taking away weapons special attacks is really not cool.
Now I'm sure that you spent a lot of time and work on the new combat system, but honestly I think its a bust. Up until now runescape was pretty unique as far as combat goes. COMBAT THAT I LIKE.. And if the beta gets implemented, well it would just be a worse version of whats already out there and what I consciously decided not to play! If you force this terrible update, you can accept my resignation from the runescape universe forever.
As an alternate solution to your update ultimatum, you could provide worlds with, and without the combat update.
Please don't ruin this game for the people that loved it for years and were happy playing it each day.

Jagex worked hard to create this wonderful game for us. If you don't like it, leave.
Games cannot copyright ways to attack. They cannot stop other games from using a similar style of attacking.
I believe that if we banked rarer items (like spirit shields or special armors) that we should be able to keep any one item of our choosing from all offered items during the beta. As a sort of reward for helping Jagex and RuneScape with testing the Evolution of Combat. It still potentially could harm the economy, but much less than the people that banked, say, 1000 spirit shields. Just playing the beta is a reward in itself, though.
I really enjoy the combat update, though. I like magic, it really is powerful. Also, can we keep any exp we've gained? We did earn it after all...
Just my two cents.

Though I am upset that I didn't get into the Beta I undestand that I took a week long break from membership maybe 9 days at most, so that means I didn't have a consecutive year of membership, so I didn't have the free ride. It's all okay though because next weekend I get to use the beta on weekends.
Thank you,

P.S. They did think of everyone and are letting all members use it on weekends.
*Edit: But I would like to know if when I reach my 12 month (3 days) will I be allowed access?

Personally, I believe this whole beta thing is a first draft, correct? I mean they are going to make changes and theres a ton of people who love it. I personally can't say if I like it or not. I agree, the original combat system wasn't complicated at all, but maybe they are aiming at an easier way and faster way to train combat skills in the long run. Beta just opened and I hope they are reading all of this feedback.

first, nice that i can try the beta ,)
Pro's:
- The adrenaline is fun, it give you more reason to keep going when you are on a roll, and the ultimates are awesome, because of them draining all your adrenaline, you can't keep going with em and you got to rebuild it.
- The offhand swords and bows are incredible, in most games i play dual wield, i love high dps and fast hits (being at the cost of defence i take it). Though if the chaotic offhands are going to cost 200k each, they are incredibly expensive, i'd love to have double cls and double cxbow, but it'll take a very long time (and although i haven't tried it i heard dungeoneering is much harder with the update) which is bad ,/
- Ranging: where do i begin, i'm seriously considering just ranging for the rest of my rs days, the skills are awesome and pretty overpowerd.
- The regenerate skill, just awesome, very good when bossing in a team, when u don't get to that ultimate anyway, or when your are just slaying, just keeps you going, you don't need any food anymore xD
Cons:
- Mage is underpowered, range is so cool now with the AoE hits, and melee with enough skills to keep up, mage really drags behind ;/
- The lvl requirement of most of those awesome skills seems soo low, they could be higher imo, or more lvl-based.
- The increased hitpoints and the fact that it takes at least twice as long to kill most monsters, and you can't afk them, which is fun when you are doing boring slayer tasks ;/.
- The combat lvl upgrade, not necessary imo, just don't like it, don't see why we need it
- The armor giving extra health, all good like in many games, but in rs you do quit a lot of activities without armor, and when you put it on you feel like you are one hit away from certain death
that's all for now, hope it helps

Guys, I don't think they're going to "Merge" the beta with the actual game, the beta is always going to be completely seperate from the game. They're just going to change the game so it has all this new combat stuff.
Well, not all of it, since it's a beta, and they'll probably realize that a lot of things in it need to be fixed. They'll probably change most of the really bad things (the weird bugs, the lag, the actual problems with the combat) before the beta even ends, since they're trying to get data on what works, and getting a lot of data on what doesn't work isn't that helpful, and they want to find a system that we've actually made sure does work before they launch it.

Inside the beta, there is one major flaw at this moment that I am very concerned with. I have tried to use ruby/diamond/dragon/onyx (e) bolts with both the rune 2h and dragon 2h crossbow, also i have tried using them with the normal rune crossbow. All of which display the message " your crossbow is not powerful enough for that ammunition"
