That does kinda makes sense. Attack levels are a requirement for some of the higher end magic weapons (staff of light, Ahrim's staff, etc.) already. It's not like anyone can complain about it forcing them to get "extra combat levels" in the new system. This way, all combat styles will require you to train two offensive skills to use effectively. Right now, melee needs attack+strength and magic and range are their own skills, effectively needing to train half as much. Attack themed abilities will have to be tweaked to work with magic and range in addition to melee. That also means more abilities for mage/range; melee has twice as many as they do in the current beta version.

It makes me mad when people say these wrong. They clearly weren't paying attention in the quest.

Back when I was a free-to-peon I used to think it was... Karjama Travelry Drayanor Digeste ...but that was a matter of misspelling, really. I honestly thought a "Travelry" was some kind of camp made by nomads who "travel" a lot. Also, I didn't realize it was a "dig site", I just thought Digeste (pronounced like "digest" with an e at the end) was some kind of foreign name. P.S. When did this thread turn into "Pronunciation discussion general"?

NEIN!

Don't panic. This is only a beta, I'm sure many of these items will be changed for the better.

My guess: super hard penguin that gives 3 points upon spotting and teleports all over the place or something wacky like that. Ooh, how about a ghost penguin that can only be seen with the ring of visibility? Not likely, but that would be pretty neat.

AR! DOON! DAMN YOU! The penguin quest wasn't mentioned in the written BTS, so maybe that means it won't be coming out this month. The BTS video says there's going to be more teasers in next week's vid. This means we might have to wait till next month to actually get the release.

Sound effects (especially for magic) still stink. I'd really like more visual or audio effects to cue me in on when I actually hit or miss. Right now, there's a lot of chirping and wooshing and kapows, but I think a simple icon to show when your spell misses (like, I don't know, some sort of blue shield-like thing) would really help me understand what the [bleep] is going on. Also, protect prayers seem to work a lot better now. I was praying range against dagannoths under the lighthouse (trust me, you'll need prayer now) and they were only hitting up to 1 damage. Targeting sounds interesting, but definitely needs work. You can't target specific monsters or anything, just mash the button till you get what you want. I'd also like to have the monster I click on count as my "target" before my autocast spell fires off. Especially with a slow staff this becomes very frustrating. I click a monster and have to wait before I can use any abilities; they just give me that "YOU HAVE NO TARGET" bullshit.

GOOD! I was getting sick of them and their effect on the ekomoney.

Can you skip tasks you start in a duo? If so, who has to pay the 30 points, only one player or both?

Sadly, you can't use abilities for your offhand weapon. Also, if you have a crossbow+sword, you need to get into melee range to attack at all. I can't seem to get melee (or range) + magic to work. Autocasting seems to take precedence over other weapons or something like that.

Defenders count as offhand weapons and they give lifepoint boosts. They don't function as shields, however, so you can't use dual wield and shield abilities at the same time. It would be incredibly awesome if they did.

Get goliaths.

Using melee sword+shield I can deal with rangers rather easily in the Duel Arena. One thing people need to use more is freedom and the melee dash/stun move. Freedom breaks you out of bind, stun and DoT. Great for getting out of a bind and negating nasty the nasty bleed of slaughter. The dash (think it's "barge" or something) ignores any movement impediments and stuns the opponent. Great to deal with bind-shot rangers and getting you in there face ASAP. The combat triangle is very pronounced, but knowing what you're actually doing is a big necessity in PvP combat and can help you fight against the rock-paper-scissors elements.

SHUT UP, IT'S A BETA! JAGEX CAN MAKE ALL THE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS THEY WANT!

As it stands, Runescape combat takes NO SKILL. The only "skill" is clicking spec weapon -> special attack -> attack player. All the armor switching is just a race to see who can navigate the clunky interface the fastest. If you're competing to see who can do the most monotonous amount of actions in rapid succession, we all know who would win. When someone says "PKING TAKES SKILL" I just think of this schmuck.

This thread is both new and exciting. As Omali said, it's you, not the game. You just got bored with it. The magic is gone. You have two options. 1. Stop whining and quit Runescape 2. Stop whining and keep playing Runescape

I really wish they'd get rid of degrading on some armor and weapons. Do we really need to keep paying money to use our armor? Yes, you might say "its cuz of da ecomoney" but I'm sure the economy will do just fine without it. It's going to be especially annoying if you're dual-wielding chaotics. Twice the charge cost, not to mention the fact that you hit/get hit more in the new combat, so that might degrade them even faster.

Don't leech curses max out at +15% and -25%? Sure, 15% strength is quite a bit lower than 23%, but how could that only translate to 1% dps increase? But I'd imagine the -25% defence leech would be wasted because you're probably going to BGS them to 0 defence anyway.

Chaotics should stay the same price they are, in my opinion. You don't really need two, after all. Though I honestly wouldn't mind if their prices were dropped, as long as everyone gets the proper refund.

Lioness, you are one lucky duck. Oh, what's that? It's time for everyone's favorite game! SPOT! THE! GLITCH! This one is pretty sneaky if I do say so myself. And would you believe it: someone said I should get a cooking cape. Guess what he was wearing. An untrimmed cooking cape. Don't try and force your shitty styles on me, boy! Somebuddy else chimed in and said my cape was better. STYLIN' LEVEL = MAX
