New Combat Release

OK, I know this might not be popular.. but I actually enjoy the new combat release!! I never logged onto the beta to try it out until the final day just to do the tutorial. I found it a little confusing at first, but figured this is the way the game is headed so I had to get used to it. After the first day of trying things out, I really like it. I wasn't sure about prayer not fully protecting me at first, but the more I thought about it, the more I understand and like the concept. Isn't it more fun to actually take a risk fighting monsters, rather than prayer stopping any damage occurring?

In all honesty, I think this type of update was long overdue. Sure, it's going to take a little while to get used to the new way of doing things, but ultimately, it makes the game more interactive and fun to play.

Congratulations Jagex... although there was a lot of negativity about the EoC, I feel you have done a good job with it. I am looking forward to my new Slayer tasks and trying out different styles and abilities... It's made the game fresh and new again.

Happy Runescaping to all

Currently finding dungeoneering, with is all I really tried out yesterday, is quicker now. On the whole the buffs I just ignore, which is a choice we all have.

Have yet to figure out the new weapons and armour - do wish a database had been released (or have I just missed this) with armour and weapon stats. Only way I know new stuff is there is by trawling through the GE and no idea what drops this. Not be long I imagine before fan sites have the information though.

Of course, I have my name for a reason trekkie.

Should have been more specific, what i meant was the likes of things like the mage and range dragonfire shields, dragon crossbow, etc. The new equipment - and what drops them.

And checking the calculator, which looks to be a great tool, the stats are in the old system for specs and bonuses and not EOC format.
