I hate to say this....but this is the most depressing update ever. With "channeling" and "cooldowns" the dynamic of the game has totally changed. It is almost impossible to deal damage without using one of the "new abilities." These abilities not only totally change how Runescape work but also make Runescape resemble many other MMORPGs, like WoW or League of Legends.
I loved how Runescape was so unique in its combat system: strength bonus, range strength, magic damage boosts, etc. but this update combines elements and makes the game way too similar to other MMORGPs. Magic now does not even require combat runes like it used to, and the special abilities do not use any runes at all. Range also now features these "ammoless abilities."
Please alter the "new game" to allow the old style mechanics to feature new add ons: dual wielding, the new armours and weapons, new abilities ( that do not change the original gameplay of RuneScape ) and any new goodies that may arise in the future.
The graphical updates and the ability to have a huge new range of armours and weapons is awesome. I even like how weapons do not necessarily have special attacks any more. What I STRONGLY dislike is how the abilities dominate standard combat and not only WAY over power the old "special attacks" but make "standard auto-retaliation combat" almost worthless.
Runescape does not need to resemble other MMORPGs, its uniqueness has what has attracted me to keep playing for over 7 years now, same with my best in real life friend Swordfish332 ( who has been playing for an equal amount of time ).
Go back to the unique originality that keeps players playing Runescape, while adding new content and not changing the game dynamics by a multipler of over 9000. Thanks,

My greatest problem so far is that regular combat is way too easy, because it really is. I just made a trip to dagannoths and completely slaughtered them, despite that they're a higher level than me. I ran out of the free runes and didn't even need a shark, despite that I'm not using a shield and that I'm fighting rangers as a mage.
What I think would help is to make monsters a little more tanky themselves so that they actually get a chance to fight back and also so that the damage over time effects actually matter. I disagree though that regular attacks are completely useless now, although abilities dominate them more than I'd like.
Something that's been annoying me a little too is how inconveniently the mob skills target: I've often been using dragonbreath on just one target because the AI happened to be attacking the corner monster of a mob I was bursting. Could we maybe get an option to target the specific area rather than the monster?
I think if you made the abilities a little less godlike, the monsters a little stronger and bring in more controlled targeting it'd make a big improvement, although I'm enjoying myself greatly already :)

Jagex please fix your ****. The game keeps crashing even if im doing nothing. Your beta is a joke when it comes to connection and even the regular rs is crashing too. Instead of trying to advertise membership to make money before people completely stop playing rs can you try fixing your game? I mean if the regular rs game and the beta is crashing then yall should fix it and not trying to find new ways of advertising.

go fight something that is tougher like an abyssal demon, and you will see how useless basic attacks are. I normally kill an abyssal demon in less than a minute with a dfs and korasi but it took me like 20 seconds more using a whip vine AND an enhanced excalibur as my offhand***
