unorclan Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 The New Swing Have you gone mining lately and seen when you swing your pickaxe it does some stupid swing as you hit the rock? I feel embaressed to go mining now cause it makes me look like an idiot. Does this guy look like he is having issues in the brain to you? What is he trying to do? Smash the poor rock to the center of the earth? -he must think its his mum I Say Change it back to the old swing! emotion looks corny as hell. All say - AGREED!

Fudgepuppy Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 I do agree. It seems that because they felt the sound was a hair off they needed to change it? BAH! I say! Change it back. And honestly I think the new swing makes you take longer to get the actual ore because you have to go "through" the swing before you can get the ore, whereas the old swing was faster causing you to get the ore faster.. :-s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Von_Goon Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Actually When I'm mining iron ore my pick just taps the rock and I get the ore - No full animation or anything. :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_Ewan_1 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Mining was fine. Then they go and make a new emote for it out, a bad one! They could have spent their time on better things.. like a bank update! Goals achieved: lvl 99 Cooking, Fishing and Fletching.Surrey CC and Liverpool FC fan for life!

D3m0pi11 Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Actually When I'm mining iron ore my pick just taps the rock and I get the ore - No full animation or anything. :-k I agree I'm 81 mining and I just 1 hit iron, now granite is another story :wall: lol ur immature...there is such things as animals that can reproduce solo...lol ..maybe u should listen in science class more :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unorclan Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 i've gotten WAY more support here than I expected....but anyways - I am dead serious about this, I HATE that swing...it looks like the dude is retarted or something Thanks to the amazing talent of Jopie211 for the sig!Finest Fist of Guthix Strategy Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreggstar Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Even if you don't go through the animation while mining Iron, it's still slower. It's slower with all ores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm the only one that thinks it's better... It's more realistic as you pull the ore towards you then mine it out. I dont need a siggy no moar.

scruff636b Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 ^ Punches above in face I'd be okay with it if there wasn't a random 6 secondish pause during each round of swinging 0.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_molk Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I hate the new animation. It looks really stupid, and I have no clue how some people think it looks better. It was good before, why change it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prankster_King Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I saw it briefly before my retirement... In reality, people don't swing a pickaxe like it's a 2 ton anvil. They really ought to tweak it's dramatic motions a bit.. Just have the character standing, swing it from behind his shoulder, hit the rock, quickly heft it back up (not do a full spin up and over), and swing again. :P [bleep], my parrot has better grammar than you.{Author of Tip.It Times article}{Founder of the F2P Bankspace Campaign}{Interviewed for the Gielinor Tribune}{F2P Bankspace was ACHIEVED!} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtbrehm Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 the timing, in my opinion, hasn't changed at all. i don't like the new animation, but i don't see them changing it back. 100% f2p 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hayseed Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I agree I think it takes longer to get the ores now. I spent a lot of time mining (lvl 74) but i dont bother so much now cos of this new emote. OK the old way sound and motion did not quite synch but it deinately was quicker. Can't see Jagex bothering to do much about this, even though most people I talk to in game seem to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
