oh for **** sake
Think I'm the only one who is looking forward to this.
From what I've heard I am not looking forward to this! Will we all maintain our combat levels etc?
Ffs rly pissed about this, wanted to get 92/93 slay and do some ganos trips first ;l now also maxing cb be a nightmare. Killing dung at same time was bad move on their part too :(
I'll hopefully be 92 slayer before it comes out :P.
I am planning to save myself from doing any quests that i can currently do until after the combat update happens.
The combat system is changing so it is your highest stat out of Attack/Strength/Range/Mage + Defence Level + 2 for your new combat level.Quote:

This sounds awful
I was so happy for reaching the level I'm at now, and now it's going down. ...
My combat lvl is going up, i'll be lvl 169 after the combat update goes live.
my combat level's going up too, also not sure what everyones problem with it is. sounds pretty decent.
I'll be 200 I think?
wait ok i just misread that.
I'll be 104.
It just looks... rubbish. It's like habbo changing everything which doesn't need to be changed. Hopefully rs won't be changing everything over and over again though
So what will new people start of as, what i the max level and will monsters also go up in levels?
I honestly dont mind ill be 70 + 65 + 2 = 137
But by then higher because i should be 85 str atleast
so i have 99 + 99 + 2... soo a 200 cb lvl?

On the Evolution of Combat Beta, blue dragonhide armor is a F2P Range armor
It is possible to wield two one-handed weapons of different styles (such as a one-handed sword and a one-handed crossbow) - does that mean you can lvl like str and range at same time? lol
Thanks.Quote:

You won't be any more powerful, and with the EoC, all monsters combat levels go up and everywhere is multicombat and if you aren't wearing armour a few level 40 monsters can kill you as you run through an area.
EoC is awful, but I'll have 99 Slayer, Defence and Strength then, only leaving Dungeoneering as my only non-maxed skill that relies on combat...
So if summoning doesn't count towards your cb level... ima start working on my summoning tank again.... just get 75 def and like 76 summoning and i'll destroy everyone my level.
But what is the point fighting level 77 combat people (that will have around 38 defence/attack/strength...) Free adamant armour?Quote:

2 weeks to get from 92 defence to 99 fun fun :P
time to quit on the 20th then :P
you get xp much faster in EoC so don't bother trying to rush 92-99 def
It's not AFKable, thats the main turn off. I'd rather have it AFKable then click (well, hotkey) intensive and slightly more XP.Quote:

I remember reading that Slayer XP has had to be boosted because theres less kills/hour, so melee XP has to be boosted to even keep it equal to current XP rates.Quote:

The only thing I can think about with this update is what's wrong with runescape now :S
Merged by Samm (Forum Moderator): Merged as there is already a big thread regarding EoC :)
If that's the new quest update of the blood pact then yes... they're redoing a lot of old quest atm. If it's not an old quest then no I doubt it.
EoC just changes the combat, nothing else really changes in Runescape.. hence why items are crashing and some items like arcanes, ragefires are jumping up in price
Whats wrong? the combat system is to simple, just click to attack, eat some food, attack again, maybe a pot and wait till it dies.
Actually, it is AFKable but you'll be getting around the same xp as you do now, not more that you could get with actually playing the game.Quote:

You shouldn't have to re-do any quests because of EoC.
And the current combat system limits future updates - there's no where else to go.
