I honestly dont wanna sound like some clown just ******* and moaning about something that isn't finished, but i seriously was so disappointed in playing this beta. After all the hype and video postings and devblogs on the EoC i felt like i was literally playing with a steaming pile of crap. The whole interface seems cluttered now. For example, I prefer to click on the abilities instead of use the number keys and the descriptions just get in the way of almost half of my screen. I tried even using the keys to do the abilities and then i just noticed how much i hated the abilities themselves. First, i couldnt tell if i wasn't hitting or if i was canceling an ability by starting a new one. I played for a little under an hour and only killed 16/195 greater demons on a task. I tried duel wielding, whip + shield, and ags. Literally all of my abilities seemed useless, not to mention getting owned by a greater demon. Also, i think the descriptions for abilities (at least melee ones) are a little vague. I just wish everything was more cut and dry and user friendly. I really planned on doing a couple slayer tasks on the beta when i logged on, but after that i just wanted to build a time machine go back to 2004 and wish i never got addicted to your once perfect game because it will honestly be hard to quit. If you fully go through with the update without some heavy changes I possibly wont log back on and i sincerely think your game will be the worst thing since unsliced bread. The beta seems sort of like its going for diablo 3, which i own and play alot, but just misses the mark. If i can choose to play a diabloesque runescape for 6 bucks a month or diablo for free then its not even a choice to begin with. I know with all the work you put into this beta that it wont be scrapped, but i really hope you can somehow stick to what it used to be and make it so i can play on my laptop while doing other stuff. I just dont want to have to focus on so much stuff for so little reward.

Like the updates you have given but I still hate beta. I hate PvP and just mashing my skills until I usually get owned by people my level or below. I dont like the way the armour?weapon stat screen I prefer the old one. With all the skills going on its laggy even if there are a few people say 6 or 8 it just lags and sucks, make it so the cooldown times are longer or just get rid of the skills if not i might aswell get GW2 at this rate and cancel mebership... UNLESS you make the new rs and old rs still avaliable.

That won't happen, they've learned from rsc.
They would sooner revert this or that, and then speculate along the lines of "we lose some members with stats 80+, we gain some members with stats 30+, we are better off on the long run!"
So RS4 is coming, and those of us who are here the longest won't like it all. Again.

Not everyone is opposed to the changes. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone enjoys waiting around for their special bar to fill up.
I'd rather have neat attacks all the time, as opposed to when the special bar is full.

Wow, sounds like you made the beta a lot more balanced with what players want, you're really doing well on the feedback! Personally the biggest highlight for me was the fact that there isn't a limit on the monsters you get xp for.

also 1 thing that bugs me is why u cant use a ability straight away why cant u click on it and then click on the thing so u use the ability on the first hit because when your killing things like rats which you one hit you use the ability to one kill it, i dont think it would be hard to code, it would be a bit like the magics at the moment you click cast and it hovers over the monster and you start attacking it with the spell Join the Revolatic OSRS Clan Today!
