My thoughts on the new combat system:
First of all, great work on the new graphics. the abilities look awesome
and that's about the only thing i like about the new system
- polyporing gone.. i loved that spell, used it all the time
-rune c bow can only fire up to rune bolts ? killing nomad or any other high lvl monster without ruby (e) is gonna be though when you don't have soul split or anything high lvl
-the new spellbook is very unhandy ! i hate it.. if i want to change a spell i need to first find mage tab then spells and then scroll to the spell .. or add them all to the hotbar which i'm out of room at already.
-monsters in general are overpowered , i had even difficulties with nechys in full torva and divine (i'm 134 cb btw)
- the new system is to complicated, the old system was fun, easy to work with.the new abilities are awesome but i'm just randomly spamming buttons so i don't get owned.
-equipement stats gone.. why ? for example, bork has a weakness to crush, i know zammy spear has high crush att, but new players don't how can you properly gear up for a task if you dont know the exact equipment stats.
- i'm missing special attacks already, like excalibur, vine whip, korasi they al were unique
-every monster is multicombat? i rather have it the old way in which some are multi and most aren't, getting piled up is gonna take too much banktrips for food and making slayer tasks epicly long..
i have many more issues regarding the new system. all in all i don't like it and i hope you wont merge it with the existing runescape, i'd rather see it as a new system that would apply in a certain amount of servers. make new servers for the new system and keep the old ones on old runescape ( like the way beta is now also in different servers )

I hope you read this because on behalf of every type of pure, in the whole of runescape, that's 1/3 of the population of Runescape(at least), I would like the combat rework made into "rs3" or whatever you want to name it. Keep runescape 2, because i guarantee that a majority of players will quit. I believe Runescape is becoming too complex. Sure you can't please everyone and I don't really know how you make another server, but if you could, you would save a lot of players from quitting.

*.B correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a theory to what you are doing...
You're updating the game, because you are losing players(members). You are losing players because you're updating the game...
just my opinion.

After seeing my brothers play beta, and seeing how new and exciting it was it was quickly brought down by the amount of idiots that got into beta. I don't think its fair that most of the people in beta are just standing around with Torva doing absolutely nothing. The people in beta should be testing out the game play and features giving feed back not just trying to buy party hats, playing hot or cold. Its extremely sad to see this behavior going on in a beta that is going to change the way we all play Runescape. You are literally letting a bunch of monkeys test out the future of RS. I think Jagex should just make gambling reportable and you should be muted for hosting gambling games. And the people testing out the game play should be doing surveys or something to help out to find bugs or do something useful. Its just really sad what this game is coming to an online casino.

my thoughts on the combat beta so far is:
1. the graphics are great. only problem is with the flag on the mini as it seems to be glitching. it has a black box around it that blocks out part of the mini map. very minor issue.
2. the abilities are a great idea, same with adrenaline. however there is a problem. abilities are being spammed. abilities should not get up adrenaline but rather reduce it. there is no problem here with the ultimates, however with the basic and threshold abilities, they should not get up adrenaline.
BASIC ABILITIES SHOULD USE AND ADD NO ADRENALINE.
THRESHOLD ABILITIES SHOULD REDUCE ADRENALINE, at least a little, not gain it up a little.
This will stop spamming and make abilities something to be used more wisely.
THE ONLY WAY TO GET ADRENALINE UP SHOULD BE AUTO ATTACKS and other special means like potions, NOT BY USING ABILITIES.
3. more abilities should be implemented for higher lvls and the cool down times for threshold and ultimate abilities should be longer. also more abilities for mage and range should be added and more constitutional abilities should be made for combat.
4. some abilities are incorrectly rated and under rated, e.g. some basic ones should be threshold and vise versa.
my main point of concern is that the you should not gain adrenaline for using abilities of any level. my suggesion is that basic abilities should not gain or use any adrenaline. threshold abilities should use a reasonable amount of adrenaline to use, not too much but not to little either. ultimate abilites are fine the way they are.
all in all needs work but a good job so far :)

My thoughts on the combat system:
-I like the new graphics and abilities, it's a lot of fun breathing fire onto my enemies! :D -I haven't had a huge problem with lag, but I've been avoiding the most populated areas (like Lumbridge). I understand a lot of people have struggled playing so far.
-The abilities are fun, but I do feel like I'm just using them to hit higher on my targets, not for any real purpose. At the moment I just find myself spam clicking them.
-I don't like that I have to heal myself every time I put armour on. It's cool that each individual piece boosts your life points, but when I put it on I suddenly have a fraction of my health, and waste food getting it up to full hit points.
-Please don't make it a permanent feature where you have to click the chat box to speak (I like to talk a lot :P )
I hope the testing goes well for you, and that the comments from players helps. It has definitely been enjoyable trying out the Beta so far!

I like the fact that you have 2 weapons, kills the npc's quicker.
The Bar at the top for the special attacks was a bit complicated until my 14 yr old showed me what to do, then was a bit easier, I must admit it does look like Guild wars in using that bar.
I will have to try it a bit more to see if I could get used to it.
I know that we are only testing it out but the xp is rubbish when compared to the main rs xp rates. :)
