Virdo.1540 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Back then, the Glyph of Reaping got disabled due to a bug. Visitors were able to harvest the Owners Ascended crops with it, that shouldnt be able to get harvested. Since then it got disabled for others than the Owner. So when can people actually use it the way they want & the way it was intended again? Rather disable the ascended crops than the Glyph of reaping there.

Astralporing.1957 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 Strictly speaking, it wasn't disabled due to a bug. It got disabled because Anet designed themselves into a corner due to forgetting that other people can visit your home instance and harvest nodes in it, and disabling this glyph was simpler than having to redesign whole ascended food system so it would work well with that (forgotten) feature. And since they weren't willing to do that redesign then, when it was still fresh, the chances of them doing that now are even lower. So, i would not expect that to happen, like, ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glyph of reaping is useful in a lot of places on the gathering tool. There are only a few places where it's helpful on the logging tool though. And where are ore nodes close enough together for that glyph to matter except in a home instance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it's been a while since I've been to Brisban but the only ore nodes I remember being close enough together for the glyph of reaping to work is the rich iron node on a ledge near the Tropic Valley Raceway, which sometimes has another iron node close by in the gully below it. Hehe, I'm old enough to have a spotty memory so if I'm wrong, don't hesitate to correct me but outside of a home instance, the glyph of reaping does seem almost useless on a mining tool.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Yeah, you are right about the Guild Hall. Not sure how large of an area the Glyph reaps for Brisban. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mareak Humner.5672 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I sure do wish they would fix the Glyph of reaping, cause in the one area I geared my accounts for, they nerfed it. Can we at least change the in-game descriptor to "Glyph of Reaping, when Anet feels like it." In the years since it was disabled, I am trying to figure out how hard it would be to isolate, and then fix the problem.

Imagine I kill dhuum and could invite others to the instance to loot the chest. Basically the same thing as buying/collection a ingame reward Ala harvest nodes etc and having it be able to be looted by infinite people.

Because you help people get stuff without having to pay the exorbitant price for a full home instance maybe? And it's not like you get your money's worth anytime soon. It's 100% on you if you want to allow others in your home instance or not, having the choice is always good. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you give people access to stuff they themself would normally have to pay gems for. For example the garden plots. Why on earth would Anet allow that. Especially when 1 garden plot could generate basically infinite resources. In the case of Ascended food, items that have quite a bit of value and on top being able to be buffed with boosters to multiply the outcome. The fact that it is allowed in the first place is mind boggling to me. Why pay 50g yourself for the currency node when only one player needs to? At any other place in the game, this would be game breaking. The ability to infinitely generate rewards. The only reason I see for it being in the game is to sell alt account farming. But I'm even more sure that it was a bug that became a feature. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulous.2934 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Sharing your home instance is a part of the social aspect of an mmo. Much like placing a guild banner, bonfire, or feast during a festival event. The home instance allows you to be generous and to receive gratitude. Actual new players can be quite impressed, and it gives them something to strive for. That was my reaction years ago, and now I can impress newbies myself. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, i sincerely doubt i'd have so heavily invested in my home instance if i could not share it with my wife and friends. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of my ALTs were able to harvest everything, including the plants, individually, despite the Glyph of Reaping equipped. So I am at a loss as to why the Glyph of Reaping was neutered, preventing the rapid home instance harvesting I set them up for (before it was nerfed). I don't know what the bug is/or was, I just know I am and have been doing everything IAW Anet rules & policies, why would they zero in on something like this? I'm just looking for a better, more permanent fix is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since other people did not count towards it depleting it was an infinite asended feast material farm as long as you had people coming in even with the karma reaping tools. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mareak Humner.5672 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Harvesters Unite! or something like that... just looking for people to add to the convo here, and hopefully get A-net to code a better fix for the like of reaping in-home instances.

Sharing with other players, doing something together. You know, stuff people do in an MMORPG. Each home instance node takes years of even decades to even out the costs. Many people wouldn't even buy them if they weren't able to share them with their friends. In other words, being able to share them is a huge selling point for these nodes. Now give a reason why it should not be a thing. 🙂 Edited April 3 by kiroho.4738 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
