removing eoc and rs3 would be a step in the right direction
no hope, game is dead
EOC pretty much killed the game. I really enjoyed it before EOC :|
This, A large majority of the old RS players quit because they dont like RS3. And after all the time ive spent on my main, they make you restart? Thats complete BS. They shouldve at least let you keep your skills from RS3 to OSRS.
$ spent on membership went to waste. Complete BS IMO.
Sadly I don't like OSRS either, I wanted 2012 RS, pre EOC.
They need to halt whatever the fuck squeal of fortune update they have planned and concentrate all of their development time on converting the live game to have pre-eoc mechanics. Undoing the taskbar, interface system, armor reworks, fixing split private chat, converting the necessary bosses to work, reverting the hits to be x10 instead of whatever they have it at now, adding spec, fixing prayers to work like they did, etc.
I see this as the second MAJOR fuck up in Jagex history, right behind the removal of free trade. They need to put a poll out, right now. I can guarantee there would be 75+% support for this. No, not 2011 "servers" to divide the community, just fixing the damage that they've done and apologizing to the players for their enormous unwanted fuck up.
Of course this isn't going to happen, because they've put money into and they're too damn arrogant to realize that the effort that they've put into it has been a mistake. This isn't a step back, this isn't regression, this is repairing the game to make it playable before development continues.
WTf is this shit. It was rs classic, rs 2 then eoc+rs3. Why do they make an osrs! They shouldve made rs3 a new thing completely and made it so there is
rs classic, rs2 and rs3/eoc
like actually wtf? They didnt get rid of classic, nope, but they do get rid of rs2 for rs3 but keep the old ones and make a new one. So sad -_-
Am i the only one who actually kind of appreciated eoc? I mean it had it's problems... I kind of think they should have integrated specs in with adrenaline and i don't like how item stats work now but compared to the old combat system isn't it an improvement? Maybe this is just an opinion of a wow player but the old combat system was point and click and wasn't much of a combat system at all. I didn't really like it or hate it but it was just always there. I like that they were able to add to the combat experience and for me it was a step in the right direction despite the flaws.
At best its a poor attempt at emulating the experience in other mmo's. The "combat experience" completely destroyed the entire pk'ing community. I don't think even a wow player would be able to say with a straight face that it brings anything positive to pvp style combat,
The old combat system might have been a bit simple, but at least it wasn't horrible to use. I've slayed from 80-95 slayer using the new combat system and I have to tell you that I absolutely hate it.
I'm not the only one either, they need to release a poll and simply give the players the option. They did this without our support to "future proof" the game but all they've done is further diminish their playerbase.
i honestly think it did add something to the game. I do admit it seems a bit spammy and the abilities aren't too special (except ultimates I like what they did with them) but I think what it did to pvp was make it too micromanagy as opposed to what players were accustomed to. I never really pked before eoc on my main but when the eoc beta came out i put in many hours and it was probably the most fun i had on rs in a while at the time. I just think it's a bit drastic to say that a whole game was ruined because the combat system changed.
