Logdotzip Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 UPDATED: So it's official; a brand new revamp to combat is in the works, slated for sometime this summer (Likely the end of it.)

Thus Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I just hope they don't mess it up (they will) and I hope this we be like an added alternative to click and attack (probably won't be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leik Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Eh, do not want. I prefer it as it is, as dull as it may seem. It's nice and simple, just like RS should be.

Logdotzip Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 I mean, admittedly, combat in RS seems a little archaic. I don't know if an entirely new combat system is the answer, but I've truly grown tired of turn-based, tick-based fighting, that requires you to click and then watch. I really feel like if they're going for a WoW style of combat, they really need to design our characters to be able to walk off the grid, instead of on a square for every movement. my youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thus Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 This would absolutely destroy PvM if npcs were also left the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blutters Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I would hope that true balance is finally brought between the respective combat styles, but such a notion has been repeatedly dashed by updates since the original announcement like Ganodermic and Dominion gloves, so I'll just have a wait and see...I've made it clear in the past that I'm dissatisfied with RS combat as a whole, so anything to bring it closer to my ideal notion is welcome.

Kimberly Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 I thought this was coming out later. I worry that between Runefest and now, there wasn't enough time to properly polish and test things. . . :/ Then again, they thought damage soaking would be revolutionary too, so...there's that.

Lord Paul Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Guess I need to once again put off combat.. or maybe I should go max now while combat is still relatively afk. Working on max and completionist capes. 2435/2475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Turn based combat would suck. However, if those icons represent different maneuvers/special moves/various attacks, each of which have various cooldowns and advantages/disadvantages, then that's fine with me. If it's what I'm thinking, then it's very similar to the combat system in another game I play, which means that this could be pretty interesting in terms of longterm effects/bug abuses. I could potentially see some interesting combat/group combat strategies arising from this, especially if it encourages combat that is highly mobile/based on deceiving others.

Jon Arcane Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The goblin looks like the one used for the monster stun power up in Dominion Tower. I welcome the new stances, they are looking rather awesome! If I remember correctly from Runefest tweets and such, combat will be changing and we can add spells, prayers and new special attacks to a hot bar. I think they also mentioned that combat would for the most part be the same, but for the people willing to be more engaged, rather than afk, they would find they would gain more efficient experience gains. Still rather curious how that would pan out to be honest, but I do at least look forward to what they will produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miracleman58 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 So 12 different 'styles' of attack per Combat style? Interesting. Good job im done with combat. 1593th to 99 Farming - July 08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris5000 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 The problem with the icons is that it implies that Runescape will gain "perks/skills" akin to those in diablo and WoW - I just hope that we get unlimited resets so we can customise how many points we put where.
