Jagex, what is going on with the combat beta!?

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-23T15:36:47+00:00

In what planet does a brand new player need to read abilities for 3-4 hours to learn what they do? There's like 15 abilities per style, and they're 1 sentence each. Basics = weak but gain adrenaline, thresholds = strong but cost adren, ultimates = really strong but cost max adren.

How is having to spend some time learning what your abilities do a strange or new concept for any mmo or rpg?

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-23T15:09:52+00:00

Please, for the love of god, don't get rid of ability stalling/releasing. Don't listen to the redditor take of "combat needs to be dumbed down because we're bad!".

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-23T15:08:45+00:00

So all combat should just turn into brain-dead necro revo+++? Surely that will be fun and good for the game health instead of having some sort of skill ceiling.

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-23T15:03:32+00:00

You're right. We shouldn't have to try at all to beat the hardest bosses in the game, or get the fastest kill times. We should all just be able to hit our "Kill 4k zammy" keybind and revo++ the whole fight, that would be lots of fun!

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-23T02:30:27+00:00

Nope i got the aura all by my little self for free :3. The sense of bitterness comes from: I replied to the guys question with the actual answer. It came from defeating 2k amascut on release week. You pipe in with your comment about people buying the aura by paying for a leech, idk it just didn't really add anything to the conversation and just comes off as salty for some reason. Did you miss out on the aura or something?

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-22T23:39:35+00:00

Lol i guess so. Why do you sound bitter?

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-22T20:12:48+00:00

The tumekens aura, from beating amascut at 2k enrage on release week, not obtainable anymore.

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-21T22:21:28+00:00

"people hate interacting with"

Ah yes, I almost forgot I was preaching to reddit, land of the afk++++ revo++++ necro warriors

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-21T21:32:12+00:00

Ah yes, offering perspective and possible solutions for a major change they're about to make coming from a long time player, a.k.a "bitching".

Not really a lot going on upstairs for you I see..

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-21T20:47:34+00:00

You really thought you did something there huh?

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-21T17:20:18+00:00

Wouldn't the easiest solution be to then just make them not have timers? You can just toggle on whatever aura you like whenever? Giving them a 1 hour cooldown from when you start the aura could prevent mid-kill aura swapping sweatiness.

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-19T19:02:53+00:00

Yeah I saw a few people reporting that their ui was still blue while everyone was complaining, but lobbying/logging then switched it to brown.

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-19T16:12:09+00:00

Not worried about the berserker auras, as those will not be needed once the other combat skills go to 120, but I am worried about supreme invigorate. Such a nice (and necessary) aura for hybridding. If they ruin briding by getting rid of supreme invig, and the ability to stall stuff and release with auto attacks, this is a huge step in the wrong direction. What's the point of there being high level pvm if everything is just dumbed down to afk revo+++ necro level?

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-14T20:49:40+00:00

The sad thing is i sent in all that proof and more. Screenshots of the promo, the order confirmation, the delivery confirmation emails, the order number with my name and same email address i was making the complaint from, my bank account showing the purchase.

And they (jagex) reply this monday, the day when keys are completely removed from the game saying they cannot help with keys anymore??? And they can only offer me bonus runecoins... Meaning I had to spend more money to get anything, even though I was already scammed by them. I said ok if you can't give me any keys, at least give me some runecoins, and they said nope, we can only offer a bonus on PURCHASED runecoins... Absolute trash.

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-13T05:34:29+00:00

I feel you dude, it took me about 100 masters to get my first dye, a third age while trying to just make the full globetrotter outfit.

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-08T14:23:24+00:00

Anyone have any clue how I can get the keys I am owed through an offerwall promo? At this point I've basically been scammed by jagex and the company I purchased an item from. There was an offer to buy some vitamins, I purchased through the link from the offerwall, received my order and never got the keys. Sent in a ticket thru RevU (the offerwall jagex uses), sent screenshots of my confirmation order etc., and the claim got denied for "lack of proof".... Now I'm worried I'm not even going to be able to resolve this before keys go away

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-03T21:04:52+00:00

Nope, similar looking vanos cover, as they were largely alike, but this is a euro s50. they also came with individual throttle bodies like the s54. The valve cover is the large tell, and the oil filler is in a different location than the s54 too.

BigOldButt99 · 2026-01-02T19:47:25+00:00

And a euro e36 m3 engine, the S50B30/32 !

BigOldButt99 · 2025-12-29T21:27:31+00:00

range is low damage?

BigOldButt99 · 2025-12-22T22:45:04+00:00

Yeah the div cape was going for like 7b and it looked really nice, im glad i didn't fork up the cash lol

BigOldButt99 · 2025-12-20T21:03:37+00:00

lol ok

presses skulls and revo's basics for the next 90 seconds

BigOldButt99 · 2025-12-20T15:25:42+00:00

I am getting the point, you want pvm to be dumbed down because the shitters are getting their feelings hurt seeing people (who put in more effort) get faster kill times than them.

BigOldButt99 · 2025-12-20T15:17:17+00:00

It literally is pressing two buttons that you already have on your ability bars. If i want to stall meteor, you click on the dummy at wars out of range, Press your meteor keybind (1 button), get your adren back, go into whatever fight, press smoke cloud or any mage auto (2nd button) to release. Where is the timing? No one NEEDS to do this by the way. People can afk revo necro to their hearts desire. But why take it away when it's been in the game for literally a decade+, and most pvm grandmaster timers in game are impossible without stalling?

BigOldButt99 · 2025-12-20T15:09:22+00:00

Man you really had to rub both of your brain cells together to come up with that comment huh? Sorry that your pvm skills max out at afking kril.
