so many beta haters! i think its gonna improve the game greatly. jagex did mention you will be able to play the game the old way. and i can see how! of course theres bugs that needs fixing. for the people complaining about the change, why cant you just accept its gonna happen and try help find the bugs, and offer constructive criticism.
this way im sure they will listen to your opinion and work on making it right!
peace

Hello,
I am trying to take my first attempt at the new combat beta and went to lumbridge to find one of the new item traders and found that lum courtyard is a massive trade market and its causing me to lagg horribly. If these rare combat beta worlds why is all this trading being allowed? I won't be able to test if this goes on. Please advise. Thank you.

Few things i dislike is how the set up of the gear and weps. are i liek the old def./atk. with str bunses better besides thats its alright i could get used to it as being a palyer from 05 or so i like the older runescape better the newer one is good for geting newer players but in the long run u will lose all ur old runescape classic players

still bots in game, getting rid of them that should have been your biggest update ever
like i said if bots were still here and this update came out, with no news about a 2nd bot nuke, i quit, take my 7 membership and donate it to the 15 bots you just let into game

Dear Jagex.
I really like the Runescape that i play now so why cant it stay how it is?
I respect the fact that you are trying to improve the game ;) But cant you do it by just taking down bots i dont know how hard is it to take care of the bots but i wish you the best of luck. About the beta i havent played it cause i werent invited but i have seen ALOT of footage from the beta and i dont like what ive seened i will post again after testing it but i really am not hyped up and i never were. :|

I excepted the beta for what it is, a beta test. Watching the demo vid's provided by jag gave some hope to what is to come.
I entered the beta to be lagged out many time by all the so called "beta testers", trading party hats and gammbling. After several attempts I was able to make it to the off hand weapons. After one hour of trying to gear up with a few off hand weapons I finally made it to a bank.
Still not judging the beta because of the players that have no clue what a beta is for. I used the same weapons and armor I have in my bank, not the wepons and armor I can not afford.
The off hand weapons are a great addtions and have many possiblities. Using two weapons or the sheild as a weapon is a great idea. After loading up (again) with the weapons and armor out of my bank, I headed off to my slayer assignment. Using range as I have been, I quickly discovered it took a load of rock tails to kill 15 black dragons. I am not sure if the beta intended for dragons to attack melee and mage at a distance but they do. many times hitting through my prayer upward to 800 hp's.
I removed the range gear and tried again with melee gear out of my bank, used less food but the adrenline took much longer to build then the old special bar.
I gave the wild a shot, and was attacked with a crushing blow five feet in, forced to eat, I never had a chance to build adrenline. Therefore the special I could use never built up too use. Thinking I needed pratice this continued untill frustration kicked. I left the beta.
Again the off hand weapons are great, the spells book was supose to be easy and its not. The game was not going to change what we love and it has. I am trying to find positives but I just have not seen one other then the off hand weapon. It looks a lot like another game and may attracked players from there. But its a risky change.
Get rid of the bots, that would be the best update ever, but then you would never hit 200 mill players.

I am really excited about this new combat, but unfortunately i didn't get accepted into the beta so i cant try it out yet. But i had some questions, since with the new combat the damage is increased how does that affect the xp gain? Can you level much faster now or is it about the same pace as it was before? Also i remember reading in the DevBlog that players who master the system will have the best XP and GP rates, and how will that work?
