Would be nice if you could use the carpet in WvW. I get that there are supposedly exploits involving bundles, but you’d think that would mean things like kites and balloons would also be disallowed.
I had to buy the magic carpet. My Asura stands on it with her arms folded while floating down the road and while doing jumping puzzles. It’s hilarious.
I wonder if the new logging axe would have the same bug than the frost wasp axe,
since it also seems to have a channeling animation.
EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.
Best MMOs are the ones that never make it. Therefore Stargate Online wins.
Magic carpet is neat – I have no use for one but for those that do, looks cool. The gathering tools are cool…but I’m in it for the speed, not staring at myself picking – that logging animation looks like it would have the same issues as the frost wasps. Glowing green mask is great for a necro – too bad it is extremely overpriced – I’ll stick with the “free” color already in game. Thanks for posting the new items – all cool, but eh.
Gah, this is why harvesting tools should be account bound. If they were 800 gems each, and given to all characters, I’d have bought the flame tools already, and would now be buying at least the logging axe for my necromancer (and any future necromancers). As it stands, I’ve bought no tools at all because having them on a single character, or moving them between, isn’t worth it.
Cool for those who will get use out of them like this, but ANet are losing a lot of gem sales here.
I’ll be getting these. I was going to get the flame tools (bought gems over the weekend even), but then forgot and missed my chance. Sort of glad though. These will go well with the bone pick on my necro(s)
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

I was really tempted by the logging animation on the new axe but then I saw that it has the same channeling animation as the frost wasp axe, which I bought and am unhappy with because of that bug. So no sale for me, at least until I hear whether or not this one has that bug also.
I hate to be in the boat of “waiting for new content”. But I am waiting for new content before I purchase more.
I kind of wish these carpets, or drills were like the new kites in game. 5% speed increase. It wouldn’t be much but, without a place to store all these things or a mount on / off button I simply don’t use it enough to justify it. If condition #1 was met. It is enjoyable to see them all over the place though. Clearly a favorite amongst players.
Option in mystic forge: kite + your move-fancy item + 2things, and your fancy item gets 5%, eh maybe in future, but not must be thing for me. I still like things in way that have atm.
Btw, magic carpent have nice sound track, nice tail behavior when you sit as charr (charr’s tail), but I would like to suggest two things:
- " Don’t get wet " (5) – flying above water surface.
Now when we enter water deep enough to swim, we get wet. With this option switched on we could fly above it. Sometimes instead of swimming I’m jumping above water surface, so in these terms adding option like that what I’m suggesting isn’t something odd.
- " Up " (2) " Down " (3) – increase/decrease fly-height.
I like that we can jump with magic carpet, but I just wanna more of height.
Changing the colour of particle effects is not in any way hard. Not to mention a price tag of 500 gems for the colour change of those masks, its not right at all.

Heh, floating on a magic carpet like a bawss.
Actually, I could do just that for my Elementalist as it doesn’t seem fitting for my Necromancer.

I’d be happy if I could just use my swiftness skills on my mounts without automatically dismounting, my poor guardian doesn’t have a speed signet or trait
The way characters sit on the carpet are awful. Female character flashing panties all day…. should have came with a more appealing way for them to sit on it…

The Magic Carpet is pretty darn cool, actually. I might pick it up if it ever goes on sale.
The Tireless Minion tools would be perfect thematically for my Necromancer (especially that logging axe. Love the munching!), buuuuut… No extra bonus means no purchase from me. Not to mention that the Tireless harvester is slower than the Consortium or the Molten sickle.

Maybe, but the cost of these items isn’t supposed to just cover the cost of creating them. The profit keeps the servers running and keeps the devs who produce new content paid.
The item may be cheap to produce, but keeping a game running and updated with new content is expensive. It’s a lot like getting a T-shirt when you donate to become a member at NPR.
Sigh… I didn’t expect ArenaNet to release the full “necro/bone” gathering tools this soon (I know Halloween is coming but still).
Without money and without gold, I will just have to wait till the next time, though, the animations is not really that good and after accidentally deleting a full set of unlimited tools, I don’t really think I should buy another one :/
Why fix the Necromancer for free when we can charge $$$ for the Revenant
-ArenaNet
Are the Minion-Tools really supposed to complete a Bone-Tool-Set? I mean.. my Bone-Pickaxe -as it is a manually used, just-bony-looking tool- doesn’t seem to fit entirely.
I’d love to know if there will be an actual Bone-Axe and -Sickle soon.

You do know that the tools have been account bound for some time already?
I think CrashTestAuto means not having to physically move the tool from alt to alt, just having it available on every alt once purchased/used, just like armor skins in the wardrobe.

I seriously doubt fully account bound tools would be 800 gems. The original soulbound ones were 800 gems, then increased to 1000 gems for the version they are selling now. If they made an equipment slot for these then I would expect them to increase the price to above 1000 gems.
The frost wasp bug is incredibly annoying. It seems to have gotten worse lately, but that could just be the constant lag making it difficult to break the animation at just the right time.

Also, what would this feature offer players who haven’t bought any gem store tools?

I think they meant that once bought, they would appear in every character’s inventory on that account and not have to transfer them to the bank before logging off and then taking them out of the bank again with a newly logged in character.
I purchased the two new unlimited gathering tools released and I’ve noticed two things:
Harvesting minion: When you begin the animation to harvest, your character drops down to their knees and a Glyphic Handblade [&AgF7iwAA] dagger appears in your hand while gathering, and then disappears.
Logging Minion: When you begin the animation to gather wood, what looks like the Consortium Harvesting Sickle appears in the air and spins around right where the tree is/above where the logging minion appears. I find this strange as the spinning sickle then continues to clip repeatedly into the minions head while it chomps away and does it’s thing.
I’m hoping both are bugs that will be fixed, they make no sense this way.
I might pick it up if it ever goes on sale.
