I don't really care how it looks, casue i read forums while my guy is mining, (it looks really developmentally delayed btw), but it's really slowed down my iron powering.

I do agree that it looks over elaborate and a bit stupid. So, because of that I'll support this.

 

 

 

While mining lots of ess though, the speed isn't changed, and if it is, it's only a slight amount. I mined ess even when I'm not swinging, so the pause isn't a problem. But as I said, it's too outrageous to be realistic, so it needs to be toned down a bit.

The new emote is fine. If you really are self-concious about how you look while playing runescape, find a counseler.

I engineered this thread with precise variables that I know would cause lul-worthy flames.

+1. The emote is fine, and I think jagex purposely made mining a little slower because it was too fast in the first place.

No he doesn't. He looks like he's mining a rock with a heavy pickaxe.

 

 

 

Let's face it. Before the update, pickaxes seemed to be weightless, the way players mined with them.

 

 

 

And is

BULL****
the best argument you can come up with?

Yes, but how many real-life miners do you see raise the pickaxe as high as they can, standing on their tip-toes, then swinging it down. Barely any do. Even the few times I've used a pickaxe, I've never done that. Now I agree makes it seem like picks weigh something now, but they could have toned it down a bit.

I just think they need to change the new emote to a more realistic one. I didn't like the other emote because there was nothing exciting about it AT ALL <.< .

I wouldn't be opposed to having it altered a bit, but it is a lot more realistic and interesting.

jagex did this because it didnt match the sounds. but who honestly cares? it was better before. not that jagex really cares when an update is bad. :evil: all they did was exagerate how much the pick is and slow us all down

i heard that you cant 1 hit iron like the old days. True?

I get 30$ a day working at a haunted corn ma(i)ze, dressing up and scaring people crapless.

Anyone who says that the old emote is more realistic than the new one has obviously never used a pickaxe before.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

It is true 1-hitting with the new animation is not technically possible, however it is not much slower, if at all.

im not sure if the new animation affects the speed which u mine the rock although there have been ppl who complained that it does. from my experience from mining coal and rune (the only 2 ores that i bother mining) i dont think it slows u down a lot, if it does in at all. however yea i do agree that the new animation makes me look like a total weirdo...so exaggerated for goodness sake...im 100% sure that ppl in real life do NOT mine like that. in fact if anyone did try to mine like that i can bet u that they will fall down flat on their face due to the weight of their body being unbalanced. seriously u look like u are doing some balancing act or having fits -.- in fact the previous animation was more realistic. unfortunately i think jagex felt that it was a bit too monotonous and wanted to spice it up a bit...just that it was not exactly what we wanted but good try nonetheless...just try to make it a bit more realistic ya :)

I knew drinking all those potions made with strange "herbs" couldn't have been good. :lol:

 

But seriously, yeah, the new animation is a bit Nickelodeon-like in it's exaggeration. If anyone in rl used a pickaxe like that, they'd throw out their back in the second swing. The trick to real pick swinging (I've learned the hard way) is to actually keep your feet stable and your trunk balanced, then move your arms as little as possible to conserve energy. You're supposed to let the weight of the pickhead produce the necessary momentum to make an impact.

i agree, mining is stupid now

 

 

 

but i think jagex wont change it back, because since the moment mining was changed there have been many rants about it on the RSOF, and still they dont change it...
