Jagex,
I think the combat update is terrible. Its confusing to pick spells and prayers, and whats with the abilities? This is turning into World of Warcraft. The only thing I like is the task bar. Leave Runescape the way it is!

This is going to ruin PVP. I just did over 10+ duels with a friend (and I'm 97 str) and just couldn't k0 him. A rocktail will heal like 10x more than I normally hit. As for PVM, it might be decent.
I've played for over 6 years, and have to say that if this update is released for everywhere, including Pking and minigames, that's it. Please at least keep a server for the current system, as it is unique from other MMO's. This is an MMO-wannabe system, and just isn't like Runescape at all.
Overall dissappointed, although it does look like you guys put a hell of a lot of effort into it. Just focus that effort on new minigames/skills/items/quests....not this.

I personally think ShivanDragon is right and wrong. He is right because this much change is bad for those players who have been in the game for a while like him and myself (4 years not as long as him but long time). He is wrong because this is freaken awesome. I like the update because of the duel wielding is great I LOVE it. I think the off hand items should be worth less than the item itself just because I don't wanna pay all that gold for just 2 items.
Once again ShivanDragon is right. The armor health SUCKS take it OUT leave it OUT. Totally unneeded. The updated combat level is cool. One thing I like is the new Ability Book. All of the new abilities are great and the adrenalin bar to go with that is a awesome idea because now I can kill enemies with ease if I have to.
One thing I saw was the info on myself. It said my weakness was magic, I don't know if that was because I was wearing full Dragon Armor or because my magic level is 51. Either way it was interesting and It made me think to stay away from anything that used magic. It helped BIG TIME!
As an update overall I think It's great and I can't wait for it, but Like I said get rid of the armor health because I'm not gonna remember to replenish my health everytime I take off my armor for one main reason. I like to look at my avatar sometimes and check the stats on the armor :) . One more reason I like the beta, I get to see my avatar in full dragon armor.
Everthing else is good, so GREAT JOB Jagex!

I just want to let you know I think your right and wrong.
I've been on for about 4 or 5 years (nowhere as long as you) but I like the update.
I like the update but I don't for one reason you stated. The armor health, they need to fix that.
I said this to you just to say thank you for stating that opinion, It helped me.

i think the major problem is that the beta is too pvp focused, and ignored pvm. most of the complaints here are towards, pvm, and therein lie the need for most changes. look at the new combat level indicator. it's basically *skill you can hit high in* + *defence.* if rs were 100% balanced, that would be fine, because a lvl 200 might hit the same whether he was a ranger or a mage or meeler. all you need to know is that, at 200, he can take a hit, and hit hard.
but rs isnt balanced. melee still rules, even in the beta. and people are proud of having maxed melee stats. i certainly am.
also, protection prayers arnt working. that itself is, possibly, more important than any other issue here (besides lack of special attacks. i miss my sgs).
i can see everywhere being multicombat being good and bad. good for more use of familiars and cannon, bad because of kill stealing.
but most of all, it took me 4 minutes to kill a mithril dragon. 3 minutes. that is an insane amount of time, and i was using abilities the whole time. so please, this update has potential. but i think that theres more pvmers than pvpers. dont let this update kill us.

I think this Beta is...pretty fun. My favorite part of it, would definitely be PvP'ing. I don't have the skills, or the guts to do it in real RS, so its fun to try it out and not really care that you're risking full bandos/arma godsword! I love the beta, it is really fun and hopefully with lots of tweaks and new ideas coming from the RS community, it will shape into an awesome update, whenever it is brought into real RS. Although, I do make one suggestion. I am not a fan of the health system, I disagreed with even the original update changing my hp from 80, to 800. But, I looked at it as, "Its just an extra zero.." I would suggest to keep the health system as it is, (or maybe change it back? :P ) but besides that, I really like the beta, its a fantastic new way to use combat. Even though it can get a little tricky as times and I often find myself clicking all around, hoping that something works! :P However, great job RS and good luck with future tweaks!
