Guild Wars 2

For me the latest version is a huge improvement! Even if they never add a flashy animation at least now I don’t feel punished for using an unbreakable tool. Thanks for the update Anet!

Much better, I’m happy spending my gems on more now.

I might get it now. But the delay on the water spout needs to be fixed too.

if you look closely, the water spout is simply a miniaturized version of healing spring…
i find that kinda disappointing.

I feel like they did this patch so it is at least functioning properly until they are able to finish it. I expect they’ll release the full version of it soon.

I’m glad that it wasn’t just me that was upset with this. I was very underwhelmed when I started using it. I was expecting something grandios like the Pick but got something that I didn’t even notice until after my third or fourth gather.

I actually bought these items for the animations more so than just having to not have to buy another tool. I hope they learn from this for when they get around to doing the Axe.

Despite whatever fixes went in, the root and water animation don’t play for me about 80% of the time.

To me it just looks like it’s just a stick being stuck in the ground and a few seconds later water comes up. I know that having it pounded like the pick was weird but it seems like there should be some movement like light swinging as water comes up at the same time.

To me the thing that makes the pick cool is the animations while it was being used. This just looks like a stick with a rock tied on the end is being stuck in the ground in one movement and then water and vines come up after it’s done.

Same for me, I just get the sound.

I thought I was just missing it when harvesting bushes since the water spout and vines often don’t go above or beyond the bush itself. I’ll have to check tonight when I get home.

All is well. Seems they listened to the community and now we have a sickle worth having. Nice revision A-Net
