This post may be somewhat redundant with someone else, but after about 20 pages of why didn't I get picked I gave up reading to find out. Here are my first observations/suggestions:
Problem:
- HP/armor interaction is quite strange. When you put on gear, your HP capacity increases but your actual HP does not. When you consume food to max your HP and subsequently take the armor off or switch armor your HP is reduced to the max capacity of the remaining armor. When you replace the armor you just removed or switched, you DO NOT get this HP back. Basically, switching armor consumes life points. If you take all of your armor off and replace it, even after consuming food to fill your health completely, it appears as if you are committing suicide more or less. This should not be.
Proposed solution:
Create a relativity ratio of health/max health that the armor abides by. Basically, if you are hurt before you take your armor off and your heart appears half full - the same should be true when you take your armor off. Similarly, if your health is near full before you put on your armor, it should be after you put your armor on. (Does that make sense?)
Preferential matter:
The actions book is a pain, especially with regard to the formerly amicable spells book. The simplistic icons simply must return. Scrolling through a menu is far too time consuming. I am sure a new board of icons will be most preferred over the scrolling list utilized in the skill advance guides. I like the tabbing distinctions for the type of actions available; however, i would suggest that the most common selected choices be displayed next to the tab. If the player would like to access the full menu of abilities, they would have the option of clicking the tab to see a full list of icons in a format similar to the former mage/prayer selection menu.
Hope this was helpful!!
Love, Elfy.

let me reiterate for the multiway. Jagex has removed alot of auto attack from the monsters in most areas. Such as black demons and other typical monsters that usually have the auto attack feature. I am guessing someone should test out steel dragons and see if they removed their auto attack also if assigned the slayer task. Because i have noticed this trend in most areas people walk into because i've been playing for 5 years and ik even if your a high lvl you still get auto attacked and i am not seeing that as much in the areas that used to have this feature with certain monsters.

wow...went a little while ago to the vendors to switch out armour, and every other person there is alching. I dont think this is what they had in mind, and it sure looks like there's quite a few people on here that would love the opportunity to truly test the combat system out...not just practice their alching skills

Massively dislike the Beta, people pay for the game Runescape...in which you have changed everything. This is clearly not an update, it is a complete adaptation to be like WOW which no one wants...what is the point in paying for a subscription to a game that is going to be nothing like it was. Useless. :@

There not trying to be like wow... i like how when an action bar is added to a game somehow it goes back to wow... ever think they are trying to adapt what you doing is just complaining not giving feedback. The new combat system is no where close to wow cause i have played the game and they are completely different and unique in their owns ways. Plus you may be a vet by the looks of it your just in your upper age and a hater of change but the average amount of players age group on this game like change please give feed back instead of a rant or complaint.

i like most things, however i dont like the stat discriptions on weapons and armor! hovering the mouse and seeing whats has the highest value seems to be the way to tell how good something is. there is no discription on prayer bonus, str, weakness, or bonuses, etc. unless im missing something!
