O_o I played SoulWars a few years ago and decided for testing I would play games on both RS Main & RS BETA... The new combat definitely seemed to create a constant combat atmosphere with some people branching into the side activity like collection, occasionally. It would take serious matching of abilities and available weapons for the Beta ver. to be as laid back as the original where people had duties like in an army. The times I played this week on the beta I found brawls instead of people getting spheres and protecting and fighting avatars.

When in the killbox I too experienced excessive stretch glitching.
I was also booted twice for inactivity which severely hindered my ability to test more. Maybe during beta testing the time-out could be shortened ...

Otherwise, I have had a nice time even though I didnt get in on the first costume weekend properly and this doesnt count. Im just doing this because I like it. Prizes come and Prizes go...
HAVE A VERY RUNESCAPEY DAY!!!

stop making runescape so stupid with all this stuff we have to pay for to get anything good. the only thing good in that transaction goes to your bank
this combat update is going to make people hate rs i definetly wont play it the same anymore. i dont need to do all these goofy ass special abilities to fight people. it already impossible to move when fighting these people and when you get next to them they just freeze you and run away till the power bar or whatever that dumb thing is called and through a tsunami at me? wtf is going on ? get real jagex you dont know what you are doing. you dont play the game like we do

Meh. The outfit would be neat I guess, I missed this event too. But I see it as just another outfit I'll wear for a few hours, and never touch again.

Much like 200m glasses, wore them for 10 seconds, took them off, destroyed, Diango can keep them, I don't want those junky things.

Reviewing late, my apologies. I had never played SW until last weekend as I am a confirmed Pest Control devotee. Having gone from about 83 cb to 108 primarily because of PC, you can understand why.

I began SW on Friday as a mage, switched to range, and in desperation, went melee. I got tired of dying within seconds. For melee I wore Torag's, bandos boots and gloves, abyssal and enhanced excalibur; plenty of pots: overload+restore+energy; SW tends to be a lot of running. I found Torag's armour to work the best as it is not very feminine, which for SW, was a good thing. I felt that women were targeted in SW and piled. Torag's allowed me to blend in more and you would only know I was a woman because of my name.

Very, very laggy on Friday, but no crashes. By Sunday, it was less laggy, but still hard to distinguish the other side and who to attack. Most games were a draw, which other players were happy about and said, "So this is how SW is supposed to be," as you can have people take over SW and one side just overpowers the other.

Here's my bar setup: Havoc, Sever, Ice barrage (I dualed, but only used a few times), Torture, Dragon Breath, Fury, Smite |threshold: flurry, slaughter, asphyxiate, massacre| Freedom in last slot. It worked well for me and I was able to fight back and even attack.

Mages were great as backup with ice barrages-- it worked as a tag so you could see who to attack (!)

Overall, a lot of fun. I do not mind about the costume mad scientist. Look forward to more weekends like this with other minigames. Pest Control perhaps?

TY, Jagex. --DH
