This game is totally screwed. They can't even fix the simple issues to begin with... And they're trying to remaking the whole ***** game, the beta sucks... Alot. I can't say i'm going to quit.. But i'm annoyed my former favorite game is becoming to attracted to money to really even care about feedback from players anymore. What happened to polls? I'm also not a noob.. I may look like it, but this account is 2005. Stats suck but meh.

Hmmmm that awkward moment when players that joined in 2012 and became members a week ago gets in the beta!
I thought it said if you were member longer than 12months!
However
Sucks for everyone who played this game for 2+Years you just got smacked in the face by greed of money shows you that they care so much about you <3.
Oh well who am I to argue we test it out later lol.
However
Jagex please don't change the combat system everyone
likes it how it is just focus on
"Removing" the bots from this game..

L I S T E N TO THE PLAYERS THIS WILL GET YOU MORE $$$$$$$$

i would request that if you want to make mages and rangers more powerful to match mellee, leave ice barrage and other ancient spells powerful. barrage used to freeze players for 20 seconds but now in the beta it is only 5 seconds. Another helpful thing would be to include an article explaining in detail how to successfully use the new combat system. you say it will require more skill rather than fast clicking but when it is released, would you give a detailed explanation of how exactly the best ways to use it? another thing you could do is when the beta is fully released, include a bonus xp time on combat skills.
i also agree that i like mage tab as it is in the real game right now. the spells are easy to see and click but in the beta, they are more difficult, even with a bar.
I like the new beta, especially for pvm.

i tried out the new beta and ive got to say overall if the game changes into this i will be leaving this game permantley and will not be coming back. i think the content in the beta is not runescape, it is becoming something unrecognisable and from my perspective resembles other MMO's such as WoW. i think the graphic update is remarkable and i would be happy if that stayed in place, i dont like the leveling as in the combat level system. i think too many people will be the max 200cb. i liked the fact that summoning and all prayer were also huge factors when it came to judging someones combat level. i think keep the combat level system the same or account for summoning and prayer. i think the new combat itself is just terrible. i hate the new ablilities. the old style of combat was insanely fun and has kept me playing this game since 2004. special attacks with each wepon should stay the same, as in having a special attack bar. i tried PKing on the beta severs and i HATED it. the main reason i still play is pking and if they change the combat system they have in place the game will be a lot less fun. i think the new layout for menu for skills and ablilities is great but i think that sort of thing should just be inplicated into the game now. i dont like the whole adreniline bar either. JUST KEEP COMBAT HOW IT IS!!! thats what made runescape different!!! theres also no need to give us up to 10k+ health, just keep it at your constitution level x10. i must admit there was a bit of the beta i probably did not look into but from the good hour or so i spent on it and from what i saw i did not like it.
KEEP RUNESCAPE THE SAME DO NOT MAKE MASSIVE CHANGES TO THE COMBAT SYSTEM. jagex you've made massive changes in the past to the game and almost everytime they were terrible and drove away huge numbers of loyal players. please listen to what the community is saying, runescape is different from most other MMORPGS. keep it that way. please jagex listen to your member base!

jagex im sorry to say your just screwd you dont care what old player have to say and all you care about is the money you going to make off of new players
sorry to say there would be no new players if there is no old players to tell them about the awesome game they like
the new combat looks feels sounds and is stuped i like the whole bar idea and i like the new gear and stuff but the abilities suck
you makning the whole of runescape multi is just dumb and i dont know if you were thinking or not when you did it
please jagex stop truying to look like other games its called runescape not WoW
and thats why i like it cuz its simple please give us the chois to say if we want this or not i perconaly wont be playing any more if combat beta comes live and i know that 99% of my friends wont be playing 2 if that hapens so even for you its a money lost ( which looks like all you care about) :) thank you

maybe if you give the players the choise of sticking with the old cb or going off into the new combat and make 2 kinds of servers and count them as 2 games with 2 highscores and 2 communities it would be good
you can import all new players to the new one but please let the old players have a choise i would be happy if you would
dont make the same mistakes like you did in 2007 that would kill the game

there was also something i wanted to add. the combat triangle was great in the current runescape!! to make it effective people combine it whether its for a NPC or another player. now it just seems to be confusing and the whole idea of more skill involved in the combat syttem, there already was skill involved, but it was simple to understand and that made it fun!! ive read things about not getting xp from killing lower leveled monsters? thats ridiculious?! another thing that seems to be taken straight from WoW. thats something that would also affect skills like slayer. keep the current combat system!! make changes to gaphics and improving current game content. new skills. updating skills. new monsters. the works. dont touch the combat system! it was great! its what made runescape, runescape!
