Guild Wars 2

Animation at normal node – 3 taps, 3 ore
Animation at rich node – 12 taps, 10 ore

Rich nodes, as we know, have 10 ore. The game animation is designed to do 3 taps per click. So – on that 10th piece of ore – we have 2 extra mining animations against a depleted node. If you are pating attention you can manually force your toon to stop after the 10th tap.

I’d rather the rich node only has 9 ore or bump it to 12. The # of ore ought to synch with the animation for mining. Its minor but breaks immersion.

The idea is nice but adding more ore into the already full tp is just gana drop prices even further making the incentive to mine less. It would better to just have all 10 taps or however many is left in one animation for rich nodes instead of pressing F again and again.

actually he proposed adding LESS (by just having 9 instead of 10 ores in a rich) however i why cant it jsut be made so it do as many “taps” as there is ore in one go, so you dont have to begin mining a rich 3 or 4 times xD

Why not just making the animation cycle for each harvest. And make it cycle 3 times for small nodes, 10 times for smaller ones, and extra cycles for each bonus harvest?

Mining animations need to be tweaked to match the mining “channeling” length in many cases — I know my Asura takes 4 swings when mining a normal ‘3 ore’ vein. I’d love it if they matched up properly in all cases, and I’d love it even more if rich ore veins only required you to press the ‘F’ key a single time and it simply channeled longer to get all 10 ore.
