Vavume.8065 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 The Frostbitten Sickle is not providing snowflakes, bugs with other tools were reported weeks ago and still have not been fixed and now you add more tools that do not work either.

Angelz.9713 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The Frostbitten Sickle is not providing snowflakes on my characters for flax farming though it did work in home instance earlier. I know in previous years its worked for everything including flax. Please Fix ASAP! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaliith.3861 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Bugged for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauzi.5892 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I submitted the same bug in-game. Hopefully they hotfix it. Axe and Pick works, only the Sickle is bugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumnmane.3574 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Adding my post to those who aren't getting snowflakes from the Frostbitten Harvesting Sickle, I just blew a bunch of karma outfitting a dozen characters with them for the flax farm before I found out they're useless :|The Volatile equivalent has been bugged for a couple of weeks and the thread still doesn't have Dev aknowledgement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moradorin.6217 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yes I can confirm the Frostbitten Sickle is NOT working but the other frostbitten tools still work. Its only sickles/harvesters and it seems to have started 2 patches ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Elvea.2847 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Came to check the forums to see if this had been reported - my Frostbitten Ori Sickle has stopped giving snowflakes too. I've only used it in "the spot" for flax farming in Draconis Mons and can confirm that 1) it used to work fine on those nodes, and 2) it no longer works at all on those nodes. Hopefully it'll be fixed soon, especially now that Wintersday is live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!Seems everyone is mentioning flax farm for this issue - just a thought that maybe it's not the sickle itself but the flax nodes / the flax node loot table that's wonky?

Alextraza.9075 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It is not only the Frostbitten Orichalcum Harvesting Sickle that is not working. I tried Volatile Harvesting Sickle and it does not work as well. Looks like all Harvesting tools have lost their power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spook.5847 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 You'd think with all the patching this would be working by now. Not to mention it is an odd thing to have break in the first place. How and why did it happen? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention it is an odd thing to have break in the first place. How and why did it happen?It's a messy, complicated code. Any change can break something so completely random like this as it hits the live servers. It's just one of those things that continuously updated games have to put up with. Could be something small patched with Wintersday that triggered it or even something added in the background ready for future content drops.

Looks like all Harvesting tools have lost their power.I've just tested my Unbound Magic Harvesting Blast and that one is working as intended. However, it's a gem shop infinite use item, whereas my Frostbitten sickles are all limited use variety. I don't really have anything else to test with at the moment though.@"Vavume.8065" said:Can we at least get a confirmation that the devs are aware of this issue please.Agreed, would be nice to hear, even if it's just a "aware and looking into it" one-liner.

Wallydrag.8236 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 It's now 12.20 and they're still not working. I've used mine on not just flax but also jungle plants, mussels, variegated roots, onions, et al. Still nada. The mining pick and axe work just fine.

SteeleDriver.5621 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 figures. They add something new and break everything lol. Am I surprised? When they added the snowflake tools, down go the sickles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauzi.5892 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Don't worry. They will fix it with End of Dragons and market it as new content. Same as Legendary Armory, WvW alliences and LeyLine Anomaly DR loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 There are so many harvesting tools whose special function/glyph currently doesn't work, and so far not a single official statement on any of them. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelz.9713 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Wintersday is almost over and this bug is still not fixed! Frostbitten Sickle still does not work! Please fix! I always buy lots of these tools during wintersday and now they are useless and taking up space! Thank you @ArenaNet Team.4819 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 And so we have it, an entire holiday festival passed with the sickle being broken, drastically increasing Snowflake prices since players were only getting them from 2/3rds of their harvesting which is the main source of Snowflakes in the game.It felt like they significantly decreased the amount of Snowflakes in Wintersday Gifts too.

TrOtskY.5927 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I can't believe this still isn't fixed. This isn't just snowflakes, it's ALL harvesting sickles that give bonus rewards.This is obviously such a simple thing, why has it been left unadresssed for over a month?What is the point of this forum if obvious and simple bugs like this that are highlighted are not dealt with? This bug has existed since about a month before Wintersday started, was mentioned then, and continued to be present after Wintersday started where the broken frostbitten sickle was also added. Since then there have been several more posts about this on this forum and on Reddit....Zero response, and more than likely we will still continue to be allowed to purchase broken sickles that don't work for a long time until it is fixed (if ever)Are Anet resources so stretched and staff so overworked or mismanaged that you can't afford to have one person spend what is probably no more than an hour to fix this problem affecting every single player that buys these karma-tools?
