Yes, I am aware that this update has been here for quite a while. But I just started mining again to try to get my mining to level 60 so that I can enter the Mining Guild. Yes, I'm a noob miner, even though I am level 72. Go ahead and laugh. Anyways, the new animation for mining seems like my character was drunk. It also appeared that the pick ax was way too heavy for my character and required great strength to lift it. But when I checked my weight, a pick ax was around 1 to 2 kilograms. Now why is that? Even though the new mining animation corresponds with the sound, I always mute all my sounds, which makes no difference. Personally, I prefer the old mining animation better, mainly because you could calculate how many hits it would take for a mithril ore or a coal ore. Also, it looked less...retarded. What do you guys think about this new animation?

Yeah I agree. The first time I saw it I was a bit confused too. Everyone looks like that. And I definitely agree with the drunk part. There have been lots of updates in runescape that, frankly, are just terrible. I mean, I don't understand why we have to change every aspect of the game. But hey, it does look a little interesting, doesn't it?

I'm in the same boat as you, I always have the Runescape sounds muted because it doesn't quite work with the music I listen to while I play, and we all know:
They're just plain annoying.
And yes, the old animation worked just fine, I don't understand why they couldn't just get the sound synchronised with that animation.
Which reminds me, I really do need to mine some more!
I'm still pretty nooby in that area, 55 or so. No guild for me just yet. =P
