  1. Right now, skill in RuneScape combat tends to be measured by things like how quickly you can switch between interfaces; odd features like "prayer flashing"; keeping your combat levels artificially low; or timing the click of when you eat food to avoid missing a hit. While those things are skilful (and I admire those players that have mastered those strange arts), none of them are about combat itself, or knowledge of combat. There's nothing about what weapons to use and when; nothing about how to respond to your opponent in PvP - none of it relates to tactics used in real battles... and I think it should. It's often a case of being lucky, or just having the GP to buy the best equipment, which brings us nicely to our first point...

    Think that is the third-to-last Og Blog.

     

    the only thing that post says is how the current combat is unskillful (alot of it being untrue might i add), and nothing about how the new system will help improve it.

    um, wait, what? isnt that the entire point of hybriding?

     

    seems like jagex wants us to make our decisions before a fight, then play it out while spamming cooldowns, wow-style, as opposed to being able to dynamically switch styles during a fight.

     

    personally i think the system is far from perfect right now, but i don't think the best way to fix it is by removing the ability to switch weapons/armor.

  2. k it all good, i just buy floors now

     

    1 mill to leech a floor is far better than waiting around all day for a party

     

    Buying floors is definitely a possibility, but if you have low stats your money might be better spent elsewhere. Remember there are things like Penguin points, Tears of Guthix, Troll Invasion, JoT, Spin Lamps that can easily boost your skill. Most people actually recommend that's what you do until a certain level (at least unlocking occs).

     

    personally i just didnt care, my sanity is more important than some mills.

     

    i don't have high enough melee stats to solo smalls at a decent speed, (though i am training them), and ranged/mage is virtually broken in dung.

  3. and im pretty sure you're trolling if you are seriously suggesting that spamming a single action is remotely similar to pking.

    No, it's not pking, but it will add more skill to pking. It's not even close to just "spamming one button", it's more like "spamming the right buttons at the right time". One of the design goals at Jagex is to add some skill in pking with this update.

    have they said how they are going to do that? because it seems like the changes would just make pking less dynamic and interesting.

  4. 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.

     

    i don't think pking takes any particularly great levels of skill, but ANY level of skill is better than no skill at all, even if it is just about switching armors, weapons, and prayers.

     

    and of course navigating interfaces can still be be difficult, i guess invoker is for scrubs because its all about navigating interfaces :rolleyes:.

     

    and im pretty sure you're trolling if you are seriously suggesting that spamming a single action is remotely similar to pking.

  5. the biggest (and only) problem i have with the evolution of combat thing is that it sounds like itid pretty much take all skill out of pvp.

     

    no switching armors and stuff? perfect rock-paper-scissors system? seems like the fight would get decided just from what setup you use, then you just pound at each other until the person with the better end of the combat triangle wins the day.

  6. lol, my dungeoneering level is incredibly low, which i guess may be the problem

     

    im sure its decent for people who are already a high level, but for someone trying to start dungeoneering without incredibly high combat/current dungeoneering, its retarded

     

    ranging is also incredibly bad

     

    Well think it through - if the themed worlds are absolutely horrible, why would they advertise there and get the absolutely horrible people to join their clans? >_> You know that doesn't make sense.

     

    i looked around on the forums and they all need 70+ dung or sumshit

     

    what if you don't have that yet? solo till you get to that point? i mean wtf

  7. recently got back into runescape, gotta say, what, the [bleep] is with dungeoneering.

     

    hardly anyone seems to play it. even when you do finally make a party it takes a ridiculously long time to actually clear floors

     

    of course you can solo, but thats just as more painful imo

     

    there seems to be no way of legitimately train the skill unless you are in one of those dungeoneering clans or something, but some people simply don't have the combat level, skill level, or time investment to do that :/

     

    meh, maybe its just me
