i finished the fight caves with only melee and tanked a hit from jad with no prayer active .. but both of the tasks didn't complete

is it because that is was a slayer task maybe?
can challenges be completed when on a slayer task?

Personally, I'm not a fan of any of the aggressively difficult speedrun achievements. You need absurdly expensive gear AND lots of good RNG to clear these. Similar to how people are pointing out that "kill X boss" tasks are not very, well, "achievement-y", I also think these are just luck and wallet checks (and even living location checks if you don't live close enough to any server or have a good enough internet service to get good ping).

For example, Hespori speed-trialist seems doable for me with my decent stats and medium-high tier gear, but Hespori speed-chaser? I don't see myself ever being able to complete that until I'm max combat with scythe and the works with good rng (or maybe a tbow and even better rng), so why is this in master list and not in grandmaster? (or just remove such things altogether...)

Types of tasks I do like and would like to see more of: "Ourg Freezer II" or "The Fremennik Way" Yes, there is some RNG elements, but they actually sound interesting and are not frustrating to fail (you can feel like you've already failed even a few seconds into a speedrun attempt, which does not make for an enjoyable achievement grind).

Other kinds of tasks I do not like and would like to see removed: "Egniol Diet II" or "The Walk" -- tasks where using no prayer points are fine until you have to pray to survive the fight, i.e. must prayer flick perfectly for a long time period. Continuing to the second point, some of your players don't have really good ping. These tasks are all but impossible for such people, and no amount of skill can overcome that.

Edit: I am perfectly find with the combat achievements not having better rewards than this. The glory is in having the achievement, just like CoX capes. That being said, I do also think there are some missed opportunities that could be explored-- but are not necessary --such as slayer task perks. (choices perhaps?)

They must modify, kill the growths of
Bryophyta in 3 seconds because the time is very short considering that the weapon is not equipped They must modify, kill the growths of

They should change the task "you can't touch me" of the Barows brothers because it hits you as soon as it comes out or even 3 frames when you run and if you freeze it it also moves They must modify, kill the growths of
Bryophyta in 3 seconds because the time is very short considering that the weapon is not equipped

=Sire pvm task=
-They grow up too fast task- is nasty as hell special on the last phase you need extreme fast kill on Sire or else he spawn to many of them, they mature to fast...
Pure luck on hits and nothing more...unreal for a hard task.

-Raspiratory runner-
You can do max 2 hits per respirator or you will fail..8 hits in total max..2 per respirator..So again unreal more or less luck with hits...Even if you do it the game not register it...so it seems buged.

I really love this update and it very much gets me back into pvm! Theres just one thing that I would love to see changed. At this moment some of the elite tasks require you to use a crystal hally/verac flail. I can't use those with my 60 attack build. I know i self limit myself, but I also feel that as many of the combat achievements should be open to a large group of players as possible. It is still possible to make challenging tasks earning one the elite tier achievement without imposing these higher level gear requirements!

Dear Jagex,

There has been already made some changes to kill counts on bosses which are pretty easy to grind on even for player who isnt in the so called "end game". I have been playing on my 60 atttack 70 defence build for a long time and have done much end game content. For instance completing challenge mode chambers, tob and so on... And i was realy looking forward to grind for master tasks on the new combat achivment diarys.

But...

Since my account is 60 attack and there are few tasks for instance to do last hit to corporeal beast or bloat with Crystall Halberd or to kill Kalphite Queen with Verac's Flail which means I'm not even able to do Elite Diarys on my end game med level 60 attack account and that makes me feel bad. It's already hard to get done most of the master tasks on 60 attack account build but i would love our 60 attack community at least to have a change to go for them...

First time posting or writing anything to forums during my 18 years of active game play of Runescape / Oldschool version of it. Hopefully someone working for Jagex sees this and will answer to my worries :( .

Yours faithfully

Virta
