The new mining animation looks like....

[pulli23]

well does the same count for abbys mining??

 

 

 

since the time there is "set" (You just fail or not fail) and it's around 1 "hit" from the animation..

[reaper88888]

It looks like you are a drunken crash test dummy... And the increased mining time per rock pisses me off.

[Wachtwoord]

i couldn't help it, but i did some researching.

 

 

 

With past mining, i managed to mine iron in 0.2 seconds. Thats from click to ore in my inv.

 

 

 

Now that we have new animation, it took me 0.6 seconds to get the ore.

 

 

 

In long range this is HUGE affect :P

 

thank god i got my mining before this :roll:

 

That's what I wanted!

 

It seems like it really affect power mining (even though you're sceptic about it). It's twice as slow now -you lose no xp while dropping-.

[CheapMark]

I've been mining some iron ore, and I find that there it does take longer to get the ores, but its less than half a second delay than it was before. Havent tried the abbys rock though, I hope it doesn't affect rcing too much....

It looks funny and i like it. :lol: I cant see real differences in speed of mining, at least not runite and coal. I will go and test powerminig.

 

 

 

EDIT: Well, powermining doesn't seem much slower, at least i don't notice anything.

[Guest]

The animation makes mining look slower, but in my opinion it's really not. In fact I seem to be getting granite MORE now on 1 click. Granted if you're lower level it might be slower but at my level I can tell no difference in the amt of exp per hour.

[O_M_G_Guasto]

See Trix? Just like I told you... so high you can't tell the difference. :o

 

 

 

I like the animation, granted, it will get old after awhile. For the time it makes me laugh.

[Guest]

Apparently my rune pick is as heavy as a barrel chest anchor :lol:

[schmuall]

In answer to the title, A lot of people in game have been saying it looks like pole dancing...

 

 

 

Only without a pole...

 

 

 

And a pik in your hand.

[Ya_Rly6]

It does seem a little strange the new animation, but it's better than looking like some robot-slaver miner; that's being whipped.

Great comparison, buddy. :lol:

New mining animation

 

 

 

Taken from the recent update thread page 2.

 

 

 

Wow, looks like it takes soo long now.

 

 

 

Jagex would not dare change the rate of mining with this new animation at the risk of hundreds of thousands of angry miners. I'll be testing it out soon and I expect it will be just the same.

 

 

 

People, this isn't the apocalypse. I actually find the new animation to be a lot more realistic, a lot like the fishing animation update a while back(all they need is woodcutting now).

[fear_skiddle]

too me it looks like a baseball player steping up to bat

 

you tap the plate twice, then get ready to swing

 

the onl difference is you swing down instead of side to side

[Lemurian]

W00t! Finally I can look drunk in Runescape! Always wanted that!

[Artificial_Doom_Flavor]

Looks like a zombie when mining the rock

[icedearth06]

I dont really mind it. Although the first time i seen it i wasnt very happy but now im used to it.

 

 

 

For the speed of it changing, i dont think its really that big of a change or none at all cause jagex wouldnt make it take longer considering that they'd have 6000000000000000000000000 frustrated miners at their doorstep.

[Artificial_Doom_Flavor]

Something tells me a real miner- especially an experienced one- would have little trouble picking up his pickaxe and going to work with smooth, full movements of the arms, not jerky motions that let gravity carry down not only the pickaxe but the miner as well. After all, we're swinging the pickaxe here, not dropping it. Yes, I understand that it is sort of heavy, but wouldn't a high-level miner not be subject to this? He is, after all, used to lifting and swinging the pickaxe (which is part of the reason he can mine runite and an inexperienced person could not- he knows how to properly handle his pickaxe and the right angles at which to swing it to break the rock).

[Lenin64]

i think it looks kinda like when you swing the barrelchest anchor, only with a pickaxe and a slightly different sound. But I liked the old one better, even thugh I don;t mind the new.

[Embraced]

When i first saw it i hated it but now i just realise that i will have to get used to it sometime.

 

It looks far more realistic than the old one.

[soxman45]

8-) Yes, far more realistic. :shock:

 

 

 

:wink: But ummm, I hate mining, and I still do :lol:

[Latinoking]

We need to do a test:

 

 

 

40 Miners

 

50 Miners

 

60 Miners

 

70 Miners

 

80 Miners

 

90 Miners

 

 

 

Then check out the speeds on let's say iron rocks? Then we rant to Jagex or just get over it

[Lady_Shahdie]

I am not too fond of this animation either :?...I Had a Deal interestingly broke it down in milliseconds that do exhibit the potential for much longer powermining sessions. I powermined 94k xp today on my way to 80 mining. I did not see a major difference in my xp gain. I spent 3 and a half hours to gain the xp. Before this graphic update xp gains for iron powermining were 30k and up. So ultimately it may have taken me 10-30 minutes longer (considering that the remaining 4k is easy to powermine in a few minutes). Now I do not know if most of the extra time was due to the animation or me mining slower due to the fatigue (which the latter is usually true because by hour 2 I may powermine 26-28k). But I can certainly notice the visible difference, where as before I gained the iron instantly in one clean stroke...I now gain it after a 0.6 second chisel (as I Had a Deal clocked it).

[Alex2828]

Animation looks quite bad. But yeh speed hasn't changed.

 

 

 

It'll just take some time to get used to.

[almost]

i think it make your guy look like a spaz, especially when it takes u longer to mine the rock

[agent6241]

The new mining action makes it look like we're noobs at mining :wall:
