Combat adjustments

Ever since RuneScape 2 launched in 2004, there's been a long-standing issue involving combat stances. When you switched from a weapon with 4 stances to a weapon with 3, such as going from a two-handed sword to a whip, the game would frequently drop you into the Defensive stance. That was because Mode 3 on a two-handed sword is Aggressive, while Mode 3 on a whip is Defensive, and the game was blindly leaving you in Mode 3. Players have often complained about this, and sometimes gained Defence XP unexpectedly as a result of it.

We've made some changes to the combat system in this update. Now, when you switch weapons, if you're not already in a Defensive stance, the game will try to make sure it doesn't put you into one.

Similarly, when you stop autocasting, the game will try not to put you in a Defensive stance unless you were using the Defensive Autocast setting.

• Ava's devices now have a 'Commune' option. This allows you to commune with your undead chicken, so you can ask it to stop gathering random metal junk while you've got it equipped.
• Left-clicking on your cannon will now let you reload it, even if it isn't currently firing.

• The Slayer helm (i) and all versions of the black mask (i) now offer a 15% damage boost to Magic damage against your assigned Slayer target, like they already do for melee and Ranging.
• The Slayer helm (i) now has a +3 mage attack bonus, a +3 range attack bonus and a +10 mage defence bonus.
• You no longer need to wait 30 seconds when world hopping

 

Jagex returning to their old self, releasing good updates and listening to players. Thank god Jagex controls OSRS and not the holdings' company that owns Runescape.

Very nice update, but I liked the 30 seconds you had to wait when you hopped. Part of Runescape always has been.

[Robbyy]

30 seconds world hopping is classic, but that's okay.

 

Everything else is very very good. Cool to see.

[Dizzy]

Steps in the right direction

Good updates tbh.. not sure about world hopping..

[Nearly Godz]

ahh nice

[Coggy]

Yeah I don't like the world hopping, its always good to have a 30 sec window to get a drink or whatever when hopping worlds. Plus its going to be so much easier to get crashed on trips now.

I guess it's impossible to log into world 1 now :P

[vult]

i used to love quickly going for a piss when world hopping at pk trips
