Guild Wars 2

Personally I love these kind of things in the gemstore bought one of these this morning and was looking forward to the effect (sad of me i know). It’s as I said it would be, the effect of the rangers healing spring though maybe make it a little…. bigger? I was sad to see just a little spit of water coming out of a bush and the sound effect of mining some metal :O. Anyone else think same?

I’m dissapointed from the harvesting sickle . I was excepting for a really cool animation like the Molten Alliance Pickaxe . From a economic view all the endless tools aren’t really worth it and you should at least get a cool cosmetic from it .

I wouldn’t go as far as dissapointed myself, I’d just like to see a bigger animation like the milten alliance pickaxe has. That’s clear, and rather nice to see when your doing it

Are these items still soulbound instead of account bound?

They are soulbound on use mate

Account bound when you buy, and soulbound when you use it on your character (as it should be, don’t get me wrong, but 800 gem for a mining pick with infinite ability to gather anything among ALL your char would be cheap….)

I’m a bit disappointed aswell, looks like a copy paste of the mining pick we have from Molten (hell even the sound is mining, not to talk about the animation!)
Seriously? Mining a plant?

It could be easily redone (wouldn’t need much stuff around), all Anet should do is, make the overall size of the sickle a bit smaller (so it won’t be a mining pick). Give the animation of the current plant gathering (Crounching like when you ressurect someone). and make the overall water effect a little bit bigger – then it would be awesome, and people wouldn’t feel the “copy”. In my opinion this would be an easy and fast solution for our problem.

This is my opinion feel free to agree or disagree.

:T

I wikitten would stay account bound. Ugh 4000 gems for one for each character…

Except the fact that in order for it to pay for itself, you have to use it >120,000 times. I don’t mind paying it, because i have enough gold to go around that I don’t use on anything else. Just as a person who goes between multiple characters, it’s quite the annoyance to buy one for all.

Though, this discussion shouldn’t be in this thread. My apologies.

Ya I’d have to agree with you kouta, didn’t actually think about that one so a nice and easy fix: Copy paste an actual havesting sickle – increase the size of the animation, that would work for me

Totally understand you, I don’t say the way it is is perfect, they should find a mixed way. I bought it for the first time and accidently added to my alt engineer I rarely even play… So I have one on a char I don’t play (and therefore no, I dont gather with him either), so I had to buy again for my main. Still looks like the way is remaining soulbound, as this is how Anet can make much more money out of them (rather than being able to buy it once and use on all char), so the multiple character people either buy on all or no, or the ones like me who makes a mistake, gotta rebuy it aswell. (if 1 person out of 10 makes a fault like I did – then they make tons of money out of us)

altho lets return to the topic, I think the Account bound and Soulbound topic has been discussed already (I mean people expressed their opinions about it)

I prefer it being so small of an effect, the molten alliance pickaxe is obnoxious.

I don’t care about the animation, I just expect it to be used like a harvesting sickle and not like a mining pick. Because I’m actually harvesting, not plowing a field.

It would bee nice to have animation of falling leaves or grass leaves when you gathering herbs.

I still can’t accept a sickle having a water animation, I really expected something like a whirlwind or something along those lines.

Whirlwind of leaves, grass, and dirt. Triggered by the sideways swing of the sickle.

I used it last night and got a good chuckle out of the mining pick… I mean sickle… actually sits above the toon’s hands while using it. Invisible handle on the sickle I guess.

It sounds like they flubbed the release a little. I’ll still buy it, and they’ll probably throw in a patch to give it the right appearance and sound. I haven’t bought it yet, so I don’t know about the effect, but I feel a small effect is reasonable since you only get one thing out of harvest nodes and they’re usually not very large.

So, did it go live with that screwed up animation or does it actually look different now?

Thank you anet! The change as of the 31st May update is brilliant and definitely on par
