No....

 

Kinda sad they aren't going to improve it anymore, the beta as it is now is not really... great IMO :?

No.

No. NONONONONO.

Welp back to powerslaying :( 96/99

I'm in the same boat. Gotta get 96-99 in 13 days. Can I do it? Probably not.

they're never going to get any actual testing done until people are placed in a more realistic scenario because people derp all day in beta, so i find this to be a natural progression

 

also, people will fight to the death for their unbalanced systems, so once they get used to this, they'll love all of the new quirks and declare fealty to them

 

i look forward to this new age of chaos

 

Chaos there will be for sure anyway. Just saying.

I'm actually not doing slayer until the EOC comes out. I find it a lot more enjoyable to slay with abilities, as far as I've tested in the beta. I've tested it with the gear I currently have by the way, not with torva and stuff. :P

you can be sure staking will be [bleep]ed over.

 

Not sure if still the case, but I think over peoples area attacks effect other duels (wave spell etc..)

Check it out, huge amount of effort has gone into this massive mod!

I just started getting 99 firemaking. -.- I'll have to quit earlier than I expected. No big deal, though. I knew this game was in the shitter for good since the time they announced EOC with such zeal.

Barrows is the same as Godwars armor? I thought that GW armor was going to require 75 defence thus having slightly higher stats? Or did they change that?

They changed tht.

 

Arma/sub/bandos is lvl 70 same as barrows now. I believe barrows has marginally better stats at the cost of degrading.

Momentum better be damn good for dunging... Only thing I'm missing for comp...

 

I think Jagex actually believes we only play runescape and other mmos are a mistery for us. They keep saying how "new" and unique it is, but all I can see is RuneScape adopting the typical generic model of most mmos out there... I'm sure as hell I'm not the only one who enjoys RuneScape for how minimalistic it is, in terms of gameplay. You literally only need a mouse and arrow keys, yet, you get to do so many things with such simple controls. Of course, you could branch it to however the hell you wanted, but the concept was the same. I don't think people play runescape for how "fun" its way of controlling your character is...

 

If anything, Jagex is beyond outdated if they are actually trying to bring rs "up to date", since hack-slash-instanced-nontargetlock mmos are the future and I know for sure that's completely out of Jagex's league...

 

Jagex, please, I BEG YOU, leave rs the way it is, you're not making it any better, you're just using a model everyone's tired of... People will eventually realize that they're just playing a typical generic mmo on a browser... with lesser graphics... and paying for full content... plus microtransactions... Hell why are we even playing this then? I'll just go play a f2p mmo with microtransactions then... Or why not, maybe embrace the future of mmos, and move on to instanced ones... I dropped Continent of the 9th Seal for a while to finally get comp, but if this means dung will only be slower xp, I might aswell leave without comp and go back to C9, before I realize, Blade & Soul will be out globally since it's around the corner anyway...

 

It's like if Jagex lives on a bubble and fail to realize people do play other games besides runescape...

The EoC isn't nearly ready, there's not much chance it can be ready in two weeks either. I haven't noticed any response to the simple idea that the problem has always been Jagex' generally boring monster design (e.g. hellhounds), not character options. EoC won't change monsters to be any better, so basically we'll get equally boring but different combat, stale and monotonous for the most part.

If this adrenaline bar is meant to replace special attacks, then why can we spam abilities in eoc, yet only spam special attacks with the aid of spec renewals and vigour in normal rs? :angry:

I'm in the same boat. Gotta get 96-99 in 13 days. Can I do it? Probably not.

Because I want to finish off maxing slayer with the current combat system, which I prefer.

Additionally, I want to get it before 99 hp (currently 94 hp/96 slay) and I doubt that xp will work anymore after the changes.

And I hate hate button spamming.

 

Why do people think slayer is afkable now? I use steel titan, have to titan spec + have titan lure things towards cannon + reload cannon + check drops + get drops + overload + prayer potion + check amount left (every so often). In the case of dark beasts, for example, I have to lure them towards the cannon a few steps at a time so that the cannon hits them. All the while switching to a spec weapon.

You can't spam ultimates and threshhold abilities. Those abilities require that adrenaline bar.

But you have to spam basics.... I don't mean you are thoughtless in using them but.... the rate at which you fire abilities is pretty fast especially with doing the other stuff we already do. (Then again, cannon, familiar, overloads, prayers.. these things are less important now)

He's asking how the adrenaline bar replaces specials.

 

As for ability usage in the current live game, I can't argue there. Here in F2Pland, the most abilities I've ever had to use at one time was when I ate lobsters continuously when getting piled by a clan. Not the most exciting thing ever, but it kept me playing for more than a year.

Yeah.

 

Absolutely not looking forward to EoC. No idea what Jagex is thinking; as Z said - part of the appeal of RS is the minimalistic gameplay, while offering in depth content via quests & minigames. I despise the armour change, and certainly don't anticipate the complete gutting and overhaul of the combat system with glee.
