you almost had a point there! millions of dollars for this update?
1st of all the only update needed was for them to rework the combat triangle, and instead they changed the whole ****en game, 2nd this update doesnt cost millions to make...and they listen to the players and if we say it sucks well it sucks! and if they don't cancel it they lose subscriptions so it'll be their loss.

My problem with this update (not mentioning the nerf for pures, I've made threads on the subject though) is that you can now stun people and kill them off from like half HP, and they can't do sh*t about it and that really ruins the PvP'ing for me and I end up eating at like 80% health and when both players do that, PKing kind of loses it's excitement.
Well I'm not good at giving constructive feedback but right now the current combat system is a lot better than the beta.
A lot.
Imo.

what up everyone, me meni again. ive been playing beta more and more as i can. a few points i wanted to make, is special attacks.. you dont need special attacks for each weapon. you are specing out the whole fight. however i did enjoy the old specs. one weapon i really liked was korasi's sword. although specs are gone the sword its self is not very good. i didnt double check but i think a dragon long is better than korasi's sword now. so why would i spend 20m to get a korasi sword and do all the quests if it does nothing? well i think korasi sword should be made better than dragon long and dragon scim however it should also be put in the other hand! yes off handed korasi sword. thats what i wanna see give me a reason to have da sword and to use it still as well as give a reason for other to still get it. bad investment recking quest items. again with the barrows gloves, i feel they should be the best offencive gloves. maybe not the best def but probably higher hp bonus than the rest of the gloves. only had to get 186 qp to get them :S lol. also the steadfast, glaiven, ragefires do not give you any attack, magic, range, or str bonuses. instead they all give the same def bonuses and are equal to the gano boots. i like that the boots all have equal def.. but glaiven are range boots and should get range bonus of some kind. aswell as ragefire, they should give magic bonus. steadfast should give melee bonus., not just def bonus. other than that it looks like 99 skill cape could be better than fire cape, rubbish!!!! fire cape is the best.. only one better is kiln and should reflect on how hard they can be to get.. its about getting in there and getting the job done, not waiting around letting your def save you. cuz it doesnt, thats how you die. i feel fire cape and kiln cape should give equal bonuses as they do now. 99 skill capes can be better i like that, just not better than the fires capes. slayer helm could use to be better def and hp and lil bonus range and mage. ;)

When Runescape 2 came out: "Oh my god it's a completely different game I'm not going to play it, I quit!"
When free trade was restricted: "Oh my god you took away the whole point of the game I don't want to play this, I quit!"
When free trade was being reintroduced: "Oh my god just when we got used to it you're taking it away, now bots are going to be everywhere, I quit!"
Evolution of combat comes around: " Oh my god this sucks it's a completely different game I quit!"
It's in human nature to be opposed to change because we like patterns. It's even been proven that we naturally look for patterns in paintings, songs, and life in general. However it is often better to change and that's why inbred families are messed up, why the best paintings have odd numbers of objects or have the focal point off center (to deter the minds creation of patterns), and why the best games continuously change.
To those who are making these complaints I say "See you at the next big update :) "

another thing i see few are also talking about.. the stun ability. i feel like melee can stun you the longest.. wtf? how is that fair. not to metchent why wouldnt i be able to eat and use my abilities. im one to play off low hp, you could say red bar.. and i get punished for being a man about pking. i hate safing up and i highly dislike everyone having there protections prayer on and still safing me up. just not fun. runescape, if you wanna keep stun make it something you cant use very often. make it sometihng that is extremly tatical. dont make it the firsts thing you can do so im getting stunned all day. while getting teamed in edge by 5 ppl. i feel if stun gets put into the real game it should be harder to use and all combat styles get to use is just as effectively. again edge being mutli, idk if thats just for beta. but thats not good, out of the whole wild where is multi, why take away the one place where you can try to enjoy 1vs1. i feel making edge multi is LAME!!! :@
other than that the abilities are dope, makes it way more fun pvp. however id like to see more abilities added as time goes on. i also like the abilites that go around prayer. that there should be more abilities with this effect. causing someone to prayer you the whole time to grow a pair. specailly when is 5 on 1, and all 5 are using protecting prayer. one thing i love about the abilities is you are able to set up that 1..2.. punch for the kill. possibly more ways to have that happen would also be more fun. other than being lil overwalming everything based outa the magic spell book.
i do feel that scrolling up and down looking for spells and abilities are rough. i think they should be the old magic books when clicked and a whole page of abilities like the prayers so i dont have to scroll so much. other than that pvp legit :)
one other thing im going to have big issue with is pvm, slayer, boss killing, training. going to take to long and cost too much. wont be worth it. no money flow, no game.

when the new combat beta was released i was so psyched when i saw i had an invite. that night i played on the beta for a little while and decided to go to yaks to test out the new abilities system. what i found was that despite wearing melee armor and using a whip with a d defender, that using magic abilities were extremely powerful. all i had to do to get a kill and the measly amount of xp it now offered was simply engage the target and use torture, or dragon breath or any of the myriad of abilities available to a decent mage. since then i haven't been back to the beta, rather i have been trying to get 75 attack so that once again i can use my Saradomin sword that was ripped from my hands.
