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

emotion looks corny as hell.

 

All say - AGREED!

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

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 don't mine anymore lest I make a fool outta myself.

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!

im retired from runescape but i check for decent pdates now and again anyway. when i heard they changed the way my favorite skill looked i hoped for the best and tried it. it makes me look like a freakin drunk with a pic axe! plus im pretty sure its slower the new way.

 

 

 

change it back!

Even if you don't go through the animation while mining Iron, it's still slower. It's slower with all ores.

Lol.

 

 

 

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.

^ 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

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?

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

I hate it. Iron powermining takes alot longer now.

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-)

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.

ROFL at the new swing.. first time i saw it lol

 

 

 

yes old one please
