RuneScape Forums

I found the reason to why combat skills are so boring - well, at least to me.

In other games, such as WoW, there are many "special attacks" you can use by clicking keys on the keyboard. I found that when I have all of these options available to me, combat seems more enjoyable. I found that when I am clicking more on my keyboard, I don't get as bored as fast - and trust me, I get bored really fast. Also, since these "special attacks" are available to you and contain timers in them, it makes you look at them more often which means the player would be more "into" the combat.

RuneScape combat has never changed, not even since the beginning, and I'm extremely surprised at how JaGeX could not have come up with a better combat system. I really feel it needs to change as soon as possible, because the population of RuneScape has decreased immensely since 2006.

This is just how I feel about combat and it being boring, but I want to hear from you. If you support or not, and also, if you have a different view on how combat should be, please reply!

Thanks, Trill.

SPECIAL ATTACK. (Unless you're F2P...)

Get it?

I had an idea of clashes before i agree combat is a little dull.

I'll take that as a support.

Trill, I've played World of Warcraft. I know of its blunderbusses and whatnot.

I was a mage in the game. IT FAILED. On Runescape, you keep attacking. In WoW, you attack slower if you're being attacked.

I watched my friend fight, using melee. He had to keep jumping around swinging his axe left and right. What. Is. That?

It'd be one thing if there was a "Dodge" button or something, like up near quick-prayers... A Dodge/Special Attack button would be fine, I guess... But the Dodge thing couldn't work that much, or it'd ruin PvP.

Oh, and you say you like clicking? Well then, my friend, HAVE FUN WITH 99 MINING!!!!!!!!!!

Clicking on the keyboard, not the mouse. And I don't want the game exactly like WoW, but add something to keep you occupied besides the "clicking on monster then watch the screen" bit.
