---please read---
Jagex i hounestly thing you should take into consideration about adding a spot on the home page, like how you had it in 2006. [box 1] free to play, [box 2] pay to play. i think you should have an option [runescape 2], [runescape 3]. alot of people are happy with how runescape is. if i wanted to play a game such as world of warcraft or diablo, i woulda linked myself to their sites. alot of old school players arent looking for a change, the game is fien the way it is. i hope you udnerstand that, runescape has its own personality, this is the reason players play this game its becasue its different, it's not like those other games. if you took the time to read this, and if possible , make a poll on keep both runescapes, 1 for the new players, 1 for the old, i gaurentee you'll become a more very succesful game, rather then crash to the ground like alot of people are think is gonig to happen if thsi combat beta comes out.

Don't take multicombat out of the wilderness. I was watching a video of a war in the wilderness. Players still war in the wilderness. If you want to do something cool with the wilderness make open spaces multi combat. Make it like dungeoneering.What I mean is in Dungeoneering you could have wall with windows to shoot through. have rocks you can shoot over but can't run through. Dungeoneering had chasm you could shoot over but had to run around. Make the lava so you can shoot over it.

plenty of things wrong here:
1.)speacial attacks:during the quest "ritural of the mahjarrat" you need to defeat a crapload of guys above level 250, the d claw spec is the only way to make quick work of them.during "the void stares back" in the fight with the pest queen you must korasi spec to keep her from destroing you and your allies.
2.)prayers:what went on in your minds that made you take prayers and throw them in the toliet,im trying to get 71 prayer for deflect melee when not even regular pray melee works 100%.
3.)armour requirments:i got 70 ranged for armadyl and karil's armour, not just for laughs and giggles,if i want 75 for a hand cannon ill do that, but 75 for armadyl nty.
4.)no weaknesses:how people could beat other monsters(ex.: dragons<ranged, metal dragons<magic,wyverns<crush) we now have none of that,if an older player goes to fight caves for fire cape with storm of arma,virtus,and the rest of the gear they need, they wont even make it past wave 30.
5.)# of players after this update:your 200m accounts will not last you past the fall,while the count falls and your bot acc # rises, seriously have you seen grotworms or blue dragons,i got to kill the lower forms for a slayer task. not funny.
second bot nuke pl0x
6.)listining to their playerson july 17,2012 there was another riot on w66 falador, i was informed a j-mod was present to probubly calm them down due to solomon's store i say that was partly the reason for the riot, the second part was the eoc.
7.)a temp solution:do what you did with rsc make seperate servers for rs2 and rs3, and ull prob make a rs2 cape like the classic cape i want so badly, ull keep ur old players and idk how ull get new people(advertise ton tv would be nice)
8.)similarities:if i wanted to play world of warcraft(which i h8) i would not go onto "wow"scape please keep rs the way it is.
9.)skilling:you really think people will drop their ores, or drop their raw fish, or magic logs. answer is no.skillers want money not droping $$$
Here for a good time, not a long time. :)

People do not like to accept change, and because of that a lot of people will quit Runescape never to return...
The current combat system is what makes it different, but I think a new system is a great idea. But if anyone gets anything out of this post: Why do we have like 100,000 life points? I miss having 99 as the max! I still don't like that its 10x what we used to have. When I was a level 3 I enjoyed hitting the occasional "1" then slowly watching it go to a "2" then "3", etc. But now I hit 236 and mentally think I hit a 23...
And in the beta I was lost. I saw 600s, 1300s, I couldn't tell what a good hit was! I didn't know if I was hitting 20s (200s) or not! Anyone else think it should be back to how it was, HP wise?

Dear Jagex and RS community:
I've experienced a lot in regards to this game in the 8 years of playing. I enjoyed going from RSC to RS2, and enjoyed many other updates in the many years. However, unlike the RS2 beta, the EoC beta is not enjoyable. First and foremost as i'm sure many of you players know: prayer. With the introduction of massive amounts of HP I can understand monsters hitting through prayer. What I can't understand is not only the severity of the damage you take (basically prayers do nothing to lower damage), but the consistency you take damage at. In the beta I attempted both Barrows and Fight Cave. Both of which I can do simply in the live game. When it came to defending myself against the monsters attacks, I found my prayer was doing just as much good as a using a piece of paper as a shield. If there will be bleeds through prayer, please at least lower both the severity and consistency of them.
Secondly: In regards to monsters weaknesses. While going through the fight caves I found something out: If you don't use the monsters weakness, they're very resilient against all other attacks. In my attempt on fight cave I found that if I wanted to kill the ranger enemy without the battle lasting minutes I was forced to use his weakness. This became very frustrating when he was combined with the mage. And this combined with the prayer damage bleed, it made the cave nearly impossible, even with the best gear.
These are the two biggest problems for me, and i'm sure many other players.

the only improvements i can think of to implement into the beta are:
DONT MAKE EVERYWHERE MULTI-COMBAT! i hate it when peopel come up and steal my kills. it would be even worse if ur at dragosn and bots r stealing ur kills cuz they have botted so much they r a decent account(not really an issue for me but could be for lower lvls).
Also, lower the lvl of the firey birds in the fight caves. 120 out the door is a bit much and they take a long time to kill even for a lvl 135 (rs2 cb lvl). id much rather kill the magic dog things then them.
keep the old cb lvl calculator. lvl 200 is as deceiving if not more, then the 1 we have now.
i liked the idea of having to find out a monsters weakness before it shows up on the stat tab thing. make it a bit more difficult.
also, give us the attacking style choice back and give the armor stats again not just the health boost and armor amount. i prefer seeing wut styles of attacks my armor protects best from and wut its weak against. same with weapons. also, for the dual wielding thing, i just read a section talking about the off hand weapons. for the weapons u can dual wield, just make it the same weapon for both hands but only make certain weapons able to be duel-wielded. alot of offhand weapons prices will plummet below the normal weapons prices if nothing is done resulting in a huge difference in the prices and ability to sell. selling a weapon and needing more money to buy the exact same weapon but for the other hand is just dumb.

just wut i think should b changed. i wonder if any mods will read this since there r so many people complaining about how much they hate the beta and are gunna quit...
