The activities you need to complete for the skyscale collections are fairly typical of open world PvE, so if you don't think you'd enjoy them, then you won't enjoy PvE in this game. And if your preference is for PvP, WvW or instanced content, then you don't need a skyscale, as you can't use it in those game modes. 11 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no versus an NPC involved in zoning into 20 diff places to collect dragonpoop. 1 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 this thing has the most annoying idle animations and is beyond boring to get so why even bother? Just because you can afk mid-air? No thanks, I'll stick with my other mounts. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure other folks know other examples. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, ANet makes it a tedious side quest that forces us to minimize the game 100 times in order to use guides that also link to other guides (e.g., Runestone 'puzzle'). That is not good design. But people will keep defending it, because they got theirs. I get it, you worked hard, so you're obviously going to think that others should too. You enjoy the reward, which makes you think the journey is worth it. That is flawed thinking. Enjoy keeping this MMORPG off the radar. No. . . Its not hard just do it. And why even bring up WoW? No one wants the kitten flight mount over there, look at all the beta feedback people hate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the game is one thing,grinding/farming until your eyes bleed out is another. Now what I mean: I love new things,story,puzzles etc to make some things harder and I am sure many players are like this. Make it harder by locking things behind dungeons,story quests,puzzles,etc Now almost all of the skyscale is locked behind grind,same boring things and re-doing the same things over and over... just like the part where you have to farm different types of currencies now as maps are half dead they added new way to obtain the currencies via other annoying achievement which sends you to redo different stories over and over...(Return To) I worked quite hard for my Skyscale(3 months+ as casual) but I would not mind of developers make it easier to get or sell different parts for gems/gold . It would give some revenue to Anet and I hope future improvements like skyscale will be better tought. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god fragment.5716 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Skyscale saves you a lot of time in the long run. You will make the initial time investment back in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's get rid of rewards if the gameplay is enough, give everyone everything. Since you're only doing it for the gameplay itself you shouldn't need a reward to get you to do things, the enjoyment of gameplay should be enough. Now we will have people playing the things they actaully paid to play without time sinks put in place to artificially inflate engagement/playtime. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not awful collection and not that much grind. Even easier now with "return to" achievements, rewarding you with the stack of needed currencies. No, I do not see a problem with how skyscale is unlocked, even before the above mentioned "return to" achievements. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between having rewards behind gameplay and you wanting to "just have everything" while seeing any bigger/longer collection as an automatic reason to quit the game. Good effort at trying to change the meaning of what I said though. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
