johnisfun987 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I personally hate some of the new weapon looks and animation. I liked the old dragon scimitar picture much better, and the new obby maul attack looks so dumb. I know that I am complaining about pixels, but if I am paying 12 dollars a month for two member accounts, I consider it reasonable to be able to look like the player requested it. I want there to be polls about the graphics updates, so Jagex actually knows what the players want. For instance, the obby maul attack is at the same speed, but the animation itself is slower. When I pk on my pure with it, I switch from another faster attack style to the maul. People can now see it coming, thus making it harder to pk people. Why change the speed for one particular weapon? What is the point in changing the dragon scimitar picture? It's not like the new one looks any better. I either want every graphic update by public opinion, or it to be personal. (like under the tool icon) Jagex is once again being completely impersonal to their players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Erm yeah the new looks IS how most players wanted them to look.

Blaire Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Well with all due respect, Jagex is only 1 company serving millions and millions of players. So they can't really please everyone perfectly, I guess they can only give what the community wants as a majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 How the hell can you complain about graphics after what the game used to look like? It looks great compared to old RS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quelmotz Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 So through some miraculous event Jagex decides to listen to you and change the weapon animations/appearance back. More people will whine to change it back. Then after Jagex obliges them, some others will whine to do otherwise. Ad infinitum. Jagex is always sitting on a see-saw. They can't please everyone, but as long as they please enough people, it's good enough. Click here for an awesome suggestion to revive smithing!

Youmu Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I actually like the new weapon animation and appearance than it was before. Before: Your rune scimitar/longsword looks like a plastic blue rod, and you look like you're bashing with a stick. After: Your rune scimitar/longsword looks like a REAL sword, and swing like one. Also, function > fashion, although both are important. Would you like a game with awesome looking but crap usefulness weapons? Then again, this is cosmetic so it's purely subjective. Not really rant worthy tbh. If you don't like it, too bad, a ton of others do.

Youmu Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Speaking of weapon graphics, why didn't they do anything to range and magic weaponry? Notice the only stuff updated are melee weapons.

Jack Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 We'll just have to assume that they have future plans for different aspects of Combat, although thinking about the Ranged actions being combat sounds good. In general, I don't think many people can complain about Weapon Animation or Appearance, I mean it's nowhere near perfect, but at least Jagex have tried to improve it for us. :thumbup: Genesis LeaderEnding Templar & Trial Caller of The RisingEx-Leader of Silent Ember - Ex-Leader of True Ownage - Ex-Leader of LegendzFormer Tip.It Clan Community Leader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me_Hate_Libs Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Speaking of weapon graphics, why didn't they do anything to range and magic weaponry? Notice the only stuff updated are melee weapons. They said they had some issues when they tried to finish up the Animation Pack 2. I personally don't dig on the new look of the short/long swords, but the 2handers and scimitar are better. This website and its contents are copyright © 1999 - 2010 Jagex Ltd.

Aiel Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 but the 2handers and scimitar are better. have you seen the d2h? DK drops (solo/LS): 66 hatchets, 14 archer rings, 13 berserker rings, 17 warrior rings, 12 seerculls, 13 mud staves, 7 seers ringsQBD drops: 1 kite, 2 visages, 4 dragonbone kits, 3 effigies, lots of crossbow partsCR vs. CLS threads always turn into discussions about penis size....It's not called a Compensation Longsword for nothing.I've sent a 12k combat mission to have Aiel assassinated (poor bastard isn't even Pincers-tier difficulty).

DemonicSushi Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 In my opinion what has gotten WORST: Dragon 2H , zamorak godsword spec, all scimitars and longswords BETTER: All the rest of the 2H swords, Abyssal whip, all other special attacks so they did most of em better but i loved the old d scimmy... this one looks like a plastic pirate thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wugmasterx Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I hate almost all of the new weapon styles. Like: All scimtars and two handers.Hate: All longswords, shortswords, silver/darklight, whip. I like the animation, though. Posted by Wugmaster Vincent Xxalius You have to take off everything except your gloves and boots. WTF JAGEX? :thumbdown:Don't forget about the ring, you can keep that one to :)And your necklace. :grin:And quiver! This is fun :P! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saunamajuri Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Only thing i hate is the new d2h`s hilt. It used to look different from other 2h`s. Now it`s just all the same. "An Amateur practices until he can get it right. A Professional practices until he can't get it wrong." Quests just keep bringing me back to this game.

Rhonda Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The idle animation of the whip drives me up a wall. "I'm not moving. Why is my whip moving?" :ohnoes: I like the scimitar, long sword and 2h appearances because they seem more elegant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're telling me you prefered the silverlight/darklight looking like a thin twig, rather than actually looking like a demon slaying sword? CLICK THE IMAGE TO GO TRY SHARK ATTACK DANGIT.

Alg Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 WORST: Dragon 2H , zamorak godsword spec, all scimitars and longswordsI stab something with an ice covered sword and it explodes in a bunch of ice shards? That's just badass. Otherwise agreed mostly. D2H was awesome before the change, as was dscim. Everything else was a major improvement to the play dough scimitars and stick longswords.

mister_moocky Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I liked it better before as well. The new weapons look like plastic toys. I think the only weapon that was improved is Dharok's greataxe. quit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obtaurian Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 There's two things that bother me, one more than the other: I hate the way we hold scimitars now. I liked it when our arms were more relaxed. They look really... stupid. I don't like that we stand pigeon-toed when holding a 2h sword. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

3hitm4g3u Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 The only weapon that improved is darklight. that thing looks beast now. The rest, they didn't really get worse or better it was a pretty unnecessary update. Except for dragon scim, that thing looks ridiculous now.
