The Official Combat Beta Thread

Dude, why the fuck would they remove specs?

 

If you read their 'blogs'.. they aren't removing them but replacing them with so called abilities.. mod jacmob leaked yesterday in irc that the abilities are very different and he said most people like pvm'ers will be upset.. I'll get a screenie of this later..

Anyways..it's jagex. They HAVE to update something that doesn't need it or they would lose their reputation obv.

 

Guys check out Jagex's new Q&A Blog

 

Not looking forward to it. If I wanted an action bar I'd play WoW or Tortanic.

 

I agree with you so much, this is the excact same opinion as mine. :/

Why do they have to copy WoW so much? I wanted rs to be unique. Not WoWRS.

 

I will quit runescpae if this update is bad.

 

Simple concept imo..

They see WoW with around 2/3 of players as RS has but they see WoW with their $15 memberships?.. Jagex sees it as this.. if they can copy WoW and get that membership up to that rate slowly (hence why they're currently raising it).. I think eventually it'll be so similar to WoW that they might end up joining? Who knows? This game sucks already.

 

Im coming out of retirement to participate in the beta. That being said if it is going to make the combat system worse then ill quickly run into retirement.

All i hope for is not 1 single build of abilitys to dominate the wilderness like it always has in runescape. For this to work there must be pro's an con's of each ability and also counter attacks for the "stronger" ones.

RS will be even worse off if everyone is just running around with the OP ability/weapon, even though this is usually the case with the current PK system, I feel it could get even worse.

 

not looking forward to this

 

Runescape is just on a trail to shit, I think im just going to quit lol.

 

^^ when I read the action bar - I thought of WoW and I never even played that game. Maybe it's similar to Ragnorak as well (played that for like a day).

I wonder how abilities will work (would we only be able to choose 20 or so abilities for each character)? Meh.

 

I can see this either making or breaking this game overall. Personally I love the way runescape combat currently is and the special attacks too. But with this new combat change I feel it will turn more into wow's combat.

 

Jagex is focusing on updates that don't need fixing while there are things that do need fixing.. the making or breaking part well its more like breaking really.. the only thing that's not been updated since 06 has been falador.. it's still the same but they will probably change that. They are changing everything.. it's breaking the game for the oldies but for the new guys it's making the game.. just depends on your time played

 

I'm looking forward to some new combat, but if they ruin pures I think I will quit

 

this page will now be getting updates from myself and zerkerfist.. there will be videos etc uploaded when they get released

 

I managed to update the thread last night before I got off, and change the title. Everything is organized now so that the newest news will be posted to the top where you can see it when you open the thread, with the older news towards the bottom. I will be updating it regularly when the updates come out.

I'd like to remind everybody that this is now the OFFICIAL thread for all general questions & discussion about the upcoming combat update. Unless your question is very unique and requires its own thread, all questions and comments should go in here. Thanks

 

good bye pures

 

That is a bit bias? No one even knows what will happen to pures yet.

 

Are you gonna sticky this babe?

I'm usually the first to criticize speculation, but from the information given to us so far it is a fairly good assumption to make, they are going to be basing it on combat potential more rather than combat level to prevent people abusing the combat system.

 

As am I, but as you and I know it is only a "Beta" many things have opportunity to change.

The "information" given is as reliable as a drunk predicting your future. J-Mods are notorious for releasing false information.

I'm not starting an argument because of the insufficient amount of information there
is, everything in this stage is just a rumor.

Yes, by the looks of it, pures do appear to be ruined but Jagex does know that pures are apart of the community and Jagex acknowledges it. Allow them to correct the system before scrutinizing every little detail.
