Guild Wars 2

Firstly, I would like to thank the game developers for fixing the Consortium Sickle animation. Now it is more beautiful and it is highly appreciated that we are once again able to interrupt the animation if needed (e.g. enemies spotting us).

However, like all the Sclerite weapon skins that have that “eye” trademark on them, the Consortium Sickle also has. Why do you not add a blood dripping effect on the sickle (for as long as it remains visible during harvesting), like the Sclerite weapon skins have. They are obviously created from the same “material”. Please consider adding this effect to the Consortium Sickle, you will make it even more amazing if you do.

To all the players that purchased the Consortium Sickle, if you like this idea please post in this thread. Perhaps we can convince the developers to do us this favour ^^.

While the animation have been fixed the effect is now broken, at least I feel it is.

Whe you use the pick the ground immediately begins erupting with lava. The sickle used to do that too. Now, though, the water doesn’t burst forth until a second or so after you’ve finished and are moving on. It should happen as you kneel down.

I could get behind this, although I must say I can also live with the current delay.

When I get to harvest the same node multiple times, or harvest a farm, I get to see the animation in full, so it feels more special.

On other occasions I have found I just stand still and wait for 1 second to admire the effect before moving on.

So I only miss out on the effect when I rush through things… in which case it’s not that important.

Update: Thank you for changing the Consortium Sickle animation. The last one fits the item much better, it’s fast and allows use interruption in times of need.

Now, if you’d also consider adding the blood dripping effects to it.. you awesome developers!

I am happier without the blood dripping. I had to look at a closeup screenie to realize it had the Sclerite scheme at all, which suits me because I purely loathe the Sclerite weapons aesthetic.

I am sure many want the blood. I am sure many do not. As they can’t please everyone and are already on the third iteration of the sickle animation, I am going to selfishly vote to keep it as it is now.
