The Official Combat Beta Thread

I agree. I go into Castle Wars with maxed combat stats and I have no idea what I'm doing. It's too chaotic, can't even see what I'm hitting anymore.

 

Can anyone tell me what is the deal with armor? Armor no longer has attack bonuses. For example, Steadfast boots only boost defense and HP, but Ragefire boots cost 3 times less and offer the same boost. Can someone explain this?

 

Nice thread u got here, thanks alot!

 

Glad you enjoyed it I need to update this though haha.

 

I'd also like the answer to this question. Does armour (including boots/gloves/jewellery) ONLY effect defence and HP? So the only thing that effects how strong or accurate you hit is your level and weapon/offhand?

 

Bumping this so people don't continue to make combat threads.

 

doing the same

 

Does anyone have an answer to this question? I'm also curious.

 

What are the adrenaline bar lines exactly? looks to confusing to learn can anyone explain to me?

 

They represent 25%, 50% and 75% of the Adrenaline bar. For example, if you had an ability that costs you 25% Adrenaline, you could use the lines to let you know when you have 25% Adrenaline.

Look at that and op: can you add to op or something? I think that thread should be mentioned or something since they both talk about beta

 

Honestly, in my opinion the new combat system is a joke. I tested it out for about 15 minutes and about died of boredom.

 

Agreed. Everyone says that it brings new skill into fighting and having more fun while using combat, but really? Here's what i'm sure 99% of people do (including me..)

Step 1: -Spams Basica Abilities- *gains adrenaline*
Step 2: -Spams Threshold Abilities- *gains adrenaline*
Step 3: -ULTIMATE ABILITY MASSIVE DAMAGE BANG-
Step 4: Repeat from step 1.

 

As for box staking, does style switching even effect the outcome anymore? What is in store for us stakers?

 

+1

The new combat beta system sucks. I tested it out for like 5mins and was very disappointed..

 

I think i posted here before saying that i loved the idea of this update, but when i tested i changed my mind.......

I think JaGeX is gonna do this update, either if the community wants it or not.

But the thing is that i think they should add like "Normal Combat Worlds" and "new combat worlds".

In my personal opinion i don't like this combat at all, it's not gonna be Runescape anymore, i love runescape (and i'm sure most of you) because of it's simplicity, you can pvm/pvp really easy with out taking damages of 10k and stupid things like that.

I think that's gonna kill the game and the fact that you gotta spend 10k each time you wear an armour on.

Man, i'm so sad about this update. I don't want this at all and i think EASILY 50% of the Runescape players are gonna quit, if not more.

 

Hello, i don't have those items (i was hoping one day to have them), but can anyone tell me if arcane stream necklace, dreadnips, swift gloves, goliaths, vigour will be useless? My main concern is really goliaths since i was working hard for them last few months and them not being functional with same no weapon punching effect on eoc would be a huge slap in the face by jamflex.

 

They seriously should make a referendum like they did with the free trade.

 

Continued from last thread...

Unfortunately it has been confirmed on the RuneScape Official Forums in the Combat Beta FAQ that Jagex will be rolling out the combat rework no matter what, because they feel that "it is the right thing for the game."

Personally I don't like it much either, but I can live with it and learn to adjust. But I am really sad to see the old combat system being flushed out. They could have easily made some changes and updates to the OLD system and improved it for the better, rather than roll out a brand new system that is confusing and frustrating.

I just hope that the least they can do is listen to all player feedback and tweak it, fix it, and make changes until it is tailored to a system that works for the majority of people. Right now there seem to be a lot of flaws and a lot of things that need changing or adjusting.\


EDIT:

With that said, I would advise ALL players who are either actively playing the BETA, or trying it out once in awhile, to post your thoughts, feedback, and suggestions on the RS Official Forums. Without player feedback and people voicing their opinions and suggestions, there is absolutely NO chance that Jagex will be able to fix the system or improve it so that it works for everybody.
