So I've had a chance to toy around on the Beta Servers. Overall, I must say that I like about 90% of the combat changes. The combat abilities, the new looks/stats for the armors, the new action bar (which makes drinking pots and eating food and tele'ing soooo much easier, even the new levels for the monsters are good ( at least most of them). Some things do not sit well with me, however. Multi-way combat everywhere and the lack of full protection from the prayers makes fighting anything take a really long time and makes every slayer task 100 times more difficult to complete. The removal of runes from certain high level spells makes magic cheaper, but negates two very important runes, bloods and deaths, and likewise negates the importance of two quests. New level requirements on enchangted bolts makes training ranged very hard, unless you have 80 dungeoneering AND 80 ranged! Only ONE crossbow in the entire world will allow you to use ANY enchanted bolt!! This is absurd and most of us beta testers hate the change. Most of us are calling for full prayer protection to be restored, single-way combat to be restored and lower requirements on enchanted bolts to be restored as well, no one wants to be forced to train dungeoneering just to get a c-bow that needs tokens to be recharged constantly! This weekend I will be testing out the new combat system on the popular mini-game Castle Wars!!
The good news is that Jagex actually IS reading our feedback AND making some changes in the beta, so hopefully they will see that we want the above mentioned changes to happen as well as some graphical changes on the avatars, right now they all look horribly gangly and ugly.
