Guild Wars 2

Hello everybody,

I’m not entierely sure if the suggestions forum ist the correct choice, but I guess it is the most applicable.

I have some truly minor trouble with the Consortium Harvesting Sickle. The harvesting animation ist nice but I believe also the source of my problem.
The first point alone alone wouldn’t warrant a forum entry, but in combination with the second it might.
Unless I’m sorely mistaken the harvesting process with the consortium sickle takes longer than with a normal sickle. I could live with the slightly increased harvesting time – if I’m wrong and it takes the same amount of time even more so of course.
But during said animation, the harvesting process cannot be aborted. Sometimes it ist necessary to abort the harvesting because your character is attacked or you realize you are at the point of impact for some AoE attack. In some zones having to stand there for a few seconds can mean the difference between a living or a dead character. Especially if the character is a mite fragile.

So I would suggest to please make sure the harvesting process with the consortium sickle can be properly aborted.

I’m aware that something like this comes at the furthermost bottom of any priority list, but I wanted to point it out anyway. Thanks in advance for any probable fix.

It does seem like being penalized for spending $10 on a gem store item, doesn’t it? You can’t even interrupt the animation.

I am having the exact same problems.
Yes we are beeing penalized by paying 10$
10$ is 1/6 the price of the whole game so the Sickle should really be better than any other sickle in the game.

It’s very frustrating and it doesn’t make sense at all.

I tried reporting a bug in the bug section but could not post for some reason.

Still think it’s a bug. Will probably get fixed very soon. Look how awkwardly the sickle is positioned during the process, that can’t be intended. I’d rather see the animation to be a bit larger, the well is pretty but barely visible.

Hm, I didn’t really consider it a bug. Though Game Bugs was one of the options for which forum to pick.
More like something that got overlooked in the design process. If you think this would be better suited in the Game Bugs forum maybe I should consider reposting there. (I usually would simply move the thread, but I do lack the proper authority to do something like that in the GW2 forums of course.

Someone beat you to it =)
Feel free to express your opinion there again. Looking at the hand position and animation, I’m fairly sure it’s an unintended bug.

It was reported and they saw it: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/southsun/Issues-with-Consortium-Harvesting-Sickle/first#post2110205

Ah, I didn’t see Phaeron’s post. I apologize. If I had, I would have simply added my 2 cents there instead of opening another topic.

I think from Roberts reaction that now it is quite clear that it’s an unintended bug. Hotfix incoming =3
