between Buz and Ascertes, I am with Ascertes. Yeah sure I like the look of some of the older armour but the graphical update is looking to the future. if i am going to pay on a nice computer then i want some good graphics to go with it and not some South Park "cut out" graphics. just sayin

I have been playing this game since about 2005 and sadly to say this game is going down the drain fast, with this update I believe runescape will be ruined and loose alot of players including me, I have been so disused with updates from jagex in the past year its to the point were im done. "Thanks for your feedback!" -Jagex
You forgot to look at all of the negative feedback that you guys just block out and ignore this game is all about money now hence the f2p video advertisement before login.

A large playerbase of Runescape are pures.
What about Pures?
Why does Jagex dislike pures and want to force players to train defence?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pures came to be due to a flaw in the system, in which unbalanced players gained an advantage over those who trained defense as well simply because of a flaw in the formula for calculating combat level. I don't believe they've changed the formula for combat level (other than scaling it up to 200, removing hp pray and summoning etc), but to correct this they have made defense useful.
What about those poor players in battlefield 3 who just stand by an ammo box and camp their RPG's? Surely the makers should realize that if you couldn't reload them every 10 seconds, that flaw in the system couldn't be exploited? I feel SO SORRY for the people who take advantage of weaknesses in the system!
If you thought that pures were just exactly what jagex originally intended to be used to fight other players in the wilderness, you should have a talk with whoever told you that.

I can see great potential for the combat rework, but it's jagex. Therefore the potential is lost and runescape is doomed. Multi-way combat is an example of this. The unnecessarily massive hp boosts from armour weren't necessary at all. A guard can kill a level 200 if the level 200 doesn't have any armour on. Soul split shouldn't heal with cannons, and it shouldn't heal 40% of what you hit. 20% was a little OP, but 40% is bull. The animations for abilities look kind of cool (albeit some are cheezy), but equipping a staff, being in combat with crossbows, or even punching a man makes you look constipated.
The good possibilities of this were:
dual wield
fixing magic's overpriciness (make runecrafting still useful without making everything too cheap)
giving range/mage good shields other than god books
giving defense more usefulness (not talking hp boosts here)
making pvp combat depend more on skill than overpowered specials (there are still overpowered specials)
dual wield animations look terrible on ranged/magic, elemental runes for fire surge is bull crap, the shields from what i've heard seem unnaturally cheesy, the max hp is 12,000 or something now (and there's just "overall defense" and then damage soaking? No offensive boosts except from amulets? Combat triangle... RIP). All anybody does is use abilities in pvp combat, just ability after ability after ability...

^So we should stick with graphics that look like cardboard? Dude, that is not a legitimate reason to hate the Beta. If that is the best reason you can find, your arguement is in shambles. And thats optimisticly speaking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You do realize that he was talking about the general what-the-past-was-like, not just graphics. And to be honest, I would rather have '06 graphics than the current ones... I'm wearing green fremmenik robes because rune and other armours look so dang ugly. He's not just talking about the beta here, he's talking about all the changes they've made.
They've added game promotions, yelps the rwter, a "loyalty shop" now this ridiculous general store (after promising they would NEVER go to microtransactions).
They've changed obsidian to sandstone.
Runite looks like recoloured granite and like it should weigh 2000 kg.
They've effectively made "the easy way out" for woodcutting, firemaking, and runecrafting. Too lazy to train it like it was originally meant to be trained (with effort)? Click this ivy, node, or bonfire and wait 3 minutes whilst getting ridiculous amounts of xp! In the process making 80% of other updates obsolete!
If you go look up a yt video of someone playing world of warcraft (there aren't many because it's so BORING) and then look at the combat beta, you will be shocked.
They made a bot nuke that also nuked our fps, then made an fps nuke that lasted a week, then the bots all came back and overran everything in the game.
Every world in the grand exchange has a dice host or doubler scamming people.
Every other clan wars world has a luring team luring people.
The community is utter trash.
Dungeoneering is a skill.
Dominioneering isn't a skill (?).
The wilderness is utter trash.
The wilderness encourages pjing.
Runecrafting is effectively useless thanks to mushroomscape (polypore).
Hundreds upon hundreds of other things I could go on about. Jagex's "looking to the future" is never an improvement. NEVER.
