Alright let me tell you what is BULL ****

I'm fighting the kalphite king. i got my potions and armor and EoC bar all layed out

This Mother ****** spits green goo in my eyes. My character literally turns green. Alright, i get it. my guy is green. when your guy turns green, you need to counter that attack using an EoC ability. that was the whole point of a "boss that requires you to use the new EoC combat system" way back when.

well if my dude turns green, and i press the keybind "f" that is my dedicated "freedom" ability keybind in my action bar, DON'T F***ING TELL ME
"You are stunned and can't use that ability."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Youre literally supposed to press the freedom ability when your guy turns green in order to counter the stun so you can Z dive away from the 1 hit K0 guillotine attack!

are you pooping me? get out of here with that "oh but you probably were hit with binding shot and you wasted your freedom ability on that bind, then right afterwards you got hit with a second bind which was the Beetlejuice attack"

u gotta be kidding me bro! i dont mind tanking the other binds with a pack yak full of rocktails but if you put a boss in that you have to counter their attacks, when your guy turns green, and you press the freedom button, you have to not f*** with cooldowns and other crap! jeez if i press freedom when my guy turns green (and i absolutely checked to make sure freedom is not on cooldown) then make my guy turn regular color instead to indicate my counterability worked and i will follow with Z dive away from the 1 hit k0 with milliseconds to spare

christ dont tell me "you cant use this ability because your bound" when the ability is literally supposed to be used to counter binds and snares! thats absurd! its stupid!

You knew the "new EoC combat" was way back, like 10 years ago way back, then why is it a thing to discuss in the Future Game Update forum?

We need to time an ability in many occasions, KK is not the only one. Usually there are patterns to follow. For instance, I learned to look at the debuff bar and when it goes down to 4 seconds then I hit freedom.

Do you realize when EoC was new way back, KK wasn't meant to be a solo boss? KK isn't designed to be a solo boss and of course it takes more learning and practicing to solo it. Practice makes perfect and fortunately we have Practice Mode where death is totally free in RS3.

Alternatively, when you mess up the green mechanics you can still teleport out too.

the timing aspect is fine - i have no issues with being expected to learn how to time counterattacks properly to beat a challenging boss fight.

the issue is the queues for the timing are lopsided-sloppy and abhorrently laggy by nature of runescape's nostalgic runescapeyness; that laggy-ish part that is just part of making runescape what it is.

i'm saying its stupid that in chronological order, the kalphite king spits Beetlejuice, my guy turns green, i press freedom keybind while he's charging up his k0 attack, the game output window says "You are stunned and can't use that ability."(WTF?!), i try to Z dive away with a second left, >too bad you're still stunned, then get chopped in half with guillotine
