The New mount

So i have just read that u need more than 250 colletion for this.. Come on really?

I think you misunderstood something. Theres not remotely that many collections this far.

that_shaman (@that_shaman) tweetede:So here are the 247 unlock flags for the Skyscale: https://t.co/nZEWBXhDXW

Looks like the jumping puzzles I mentioned yesterday are part 4 and part 5 requires you to do something in every season 4 map https://twitter.com/that_shaman/status/1129356322867171328?s=17

247 unlocks

What if the whole thing is a joke and it's just endless looping collections.

And the only skyscale we get are the rentals.

I highly recommend to do these collections as fast as possible. You don't want to be the only one in a month or so, trying to get hhelp and a group.

TONS of people will be waiting that long. because tons of people have LIVES and most of these collections take a lot of time just purely out of travel and conditions in the maps

I do not understand. How could you possibly know what achievements are to be done, @Nightcore.5621 , if no one in the whole game has access to Troublesome Skyscales, even less to Riding Skyscales?

Quite simply , this is an "content extension" thing that people are pretty pissed about, The timegate (should we refer to this as scalegate?) was poorly implemented and the hours to complete for the new mount is .. in short.. STUPID They have taken a page from WOW now and it .. sucks.

They need to fix this, But they won't because they are hamstrung with internal problems and new management.

HEY ANET, THE EASIER YOU MAKE IT FOR US TO GET THE NEW MOUNT, THE EASIER IT WILL BE TO SELL US THE NEW SKINS FOR IT!
SERIOUSLY .. DON'T YOU LIKE MONEY?

As it is.. I am not bothering to get this one. I have a life and family .

I think the new mount is meant to be a gradual one to get? You can spend thirty minutes per day and once one collection is done, just wait for the next day and continue for the new collection. It encourages casual players to log back in I guess. But that's the wrong thread to discuss that. You may want to continue that discussion here: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/76448/merged-about-the-skyscale-timegate#latest as it is way more appropriate Imo!

Assuming he's counted correctly (bearing in mind that_sharman posts based on data mining, and looking at data out of context can sometimes be confusing) that means there are 247 items to collect, which is very different to 247 collections.

It would be like saying you have to complete 132 collections for the griffon mount. You don't, but there are 132 items in the 8 collections you do need to do. But even that is somewhat inaccurate because the Open Skies: Sunspear Sanctuary achievement is an overview for the others, so all you need to do is return to the Sanctuary after completing the other collections.

It's the same with the Skyscale collection - just speaking to Gorrik to unlock the collection gives you the first item, and I think the latesr stages are the same - unlocking it gives you the first item (although I haven't got that far yet).

thatshaman and some others online work from data mining. That's how.

At this point with the Skyscale, I'm feeling very discouraged, not inspired.

For your average casual .. No. not bothering with this, given how often and long I play . if I did nothing but grind for this , a couple months . Not worth it

More dumb content. Seriously ANet, start tending to what matters. A flying mount, that in my view renders the Griffon obsolete. What was the point of it again, if you added this? And time-gated it?

EDIT: oh, right, skins. Sorry I forgot. You're desperate to make money by adding what would normally be not needed, because who cares about Quality of Life improvements that could bring back many customers (I'm not gonna use the word players because customers, and this is a business, and they probably listen to proper terminology) who have left because the game is bloated and the things that bloat it also break it in terms of balance, and while this perhaps may not be felt in PvE, it sure is felt everywhere else, and on top of that there are many bugs that need fixing that are not a priority because a bugfix doesn't generate revenue, right?

The whole Thing for this mount seems like a joke

I am just doing it at leisure. If it happens it happens. But im not going to rush around trying to get everything done in a day. I just opened up one vendor, and halfway on the other.

At this point, I'm resigned. Doing some as i feel like it, but otherwise, meh. It's taken the fun out of the new map for me. For the first time in 3 years, I'm downloading another game to play.

Yes i have played guild wars 2 from Day 1 almost eveyday but right now i thinkin to try New games... Anet lost me in this one
