how the hell u dual wep "The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate. Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope. Yet, the Arcana is the means by which all is revealed.

@Helpful Magi
I have killed Abyssal Demons since I was 115 combat, but what I am really trying to say is that semi-tough monsters are now fairly tough instead of being easy/good experience.
@Dark Age
I have played for over seven years. I know Jagex does not always directly fix "problems" found by the community, but being aggressive and rude does not solve anything.
I don't understand why Runescape is evolving into WoW. The PvP for WoW sucks...but with this...its just going to be like WoW too.....='(
I STRONGLY think that A TON of VOTING is needed on the VARIOUS NEW ELEMENTS here to be fair. I can't say that the majority want the old mechanics to be more prevalent to the new stuff, but a VOTE would show that =)

I have not given the beta as much testing as I want, but I thought I would put some of my first thoughts on the forums.
starting with dislikes
1.the armor offensive stats should not have been messed with in my opinion
bandos was great because its str bonus i couldn't afford bandos so I did barbarian
assault until I got the Fighter torso, now fighter torso is barely better than rune.
2.Kinda fits in with 1 but the spirit and divine are not special anymore, they were
prized for the soaking abilities. Has soaking been taking out or is that a hidden stat
now?
Likes
1.I still think the game "feels" like Runescape
2.Combat is a bit more interactive than before but I was still able to get up from my
computer and "afk" a mob while getting a glass of water. (auto attacks not
terrible)
3.Graphics.
Bugs?
1.Richochet sometimes says "is to far away" when i'm only a few squares away. May
be due to a large mob partially behind a wall.
2.Clicking on a new target does not always change the target. Sometimes I would
randomly start attacking another mob mid fight, auto retaliate was on.
I would like to see a separation from the abilities book ad spell book (for teleports and alchs and such. Also a few different sets of beta vendors would be nice Lumbridge is really laggy and crowded.
In all I really like it so far. Action bar is great, abilities seem pretty though out for the most part. I see there is a lot to work on still so i'm being pretty generous, as the beta progress I will try to be harder on you Jagex. ;)

I mostly like the beta but a few little things I thought could be fixed:
1. Adrenaline should not drain if you are still being attacked, if you are stunned, then eat, then repot, your adrenaline is all but gone. Also, if you a meleer and your being farcasted with ice barrage, your adrenaline bar will drain even though you are still "in combat".
2. Does armour still have different stab/slash/etc. defences? I they do I'd love for that to be more obvious to plan how to attack different armours ie. rapier vs longsword.
3. Could you make a summoning pouch seller in the beta? There really is no way to get pouches on the beta minus getting them on your real account and uploading it.
4. Make it so we can use the F keys when typing. I find myself half way through a message, need food, hit F1, nothing happens and i die. F keys don't effect chat so why not allow them.
5. It would also help a lot to know how much prayers, ie turmoil or leech attack, boost your stats buy. Implementing either a bar which tells % change like in Runescape now, or just adding it into the description of the prayer would solve this.
6. The combat level should be averaged for melee. A level 200 with 99 strength and 85 attack is obviously not going to be as good as a meleer as a level 200 with 99 in strength and attack. Because melee involves two combat skills, strength and attack should be averaged.
7. This relates to the last point about combat level; combat level should reflect what style of combat you are using. If your level 200 because of magic but you want to fight with melee, the only people who will want to fight you in duel arena, wildy, or the crucible will be level 200. But if you only have, say, 50 attack and 60 strength, you have no chance if you choose to melee fight.
Sorry this dragged on so long but in talking with other people, these were some of the more popular issues with the beta. Good job guys and I love the animation.
Cheers
