Anet want you and other people to buy more glyphs which will lead either in more people buying infinite tools with extra glyphs (cheaper option) or in gambling with black lion keys (better option for anet) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 I don't think very many ppls would buy an extra set of glyphs just for their homestead, and I don't think that would be anet's expectation. Equipping/unequipping the glyph is really a very minor inconvenience, basically amounting to one more line of dialogue before you click the clicky. My assumption was that there was some sort of technical limitation on their end that made this solution easier . . . My objection would be that you have to do it three times instead of just one box for all nodes, but I guess that's a trade off for ppls who might not use the same glyph on all nodes? Idk . . . My other objection would be that there are so many nodes that you still have to collect manually . . . This is still a really nice qol feature, it's just not quite exactly the feature I'd dreamed it might be when I first heard of it . . . 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gop.8713 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 But are ppls really doing that? It seems like such a weird choice. For me, I typically farm home & guild halls on my wvw toon, who has infinite tools with volatile glyphs. When it's time to farm home I just pull the glyph out of axe and click on the 'use this' option in the dialogue box before I collect. Then I take it back and carry on. It seems really wasteful to me to just leave the glyphs in there all the time. I guess it's no different from having different sets of tools/glyphs for different toons, but it feels different . . . 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasite.5389 Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 (edited) I just have an alt packed in my homestead with a single glyph in his bag. i'm only gathering for like 2 minutes, once a day, it's not a big deal to click a few extra dialogue boxes for a little bit of extra resources. Edit: so, happy reset; I decided to time how long it takes me to harvest a 55/57 homstead... 78 seconds, including the time it takes me to charge a peice of Charged Quartz. this is the unbearable extra effort we need to go through.

Rauderi.8706 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Yeah, I was so amped to have the collection box, only to realize ANet biffed it at the 10-yard line. It was supposed to be a convenience, but all the glyph-swapping is (admittedly minor) irritating. I fully blame their antiquated UI for that. The system should be using any unlocked (bound to account) glyphs we already have, not some weird and janky "vendor". Making that one change would take the homestead mastery from great to fabulous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have to option to harvest manually with your gathering tools. You don't need to use the collect-all boxes if you consider them "wasteful." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 You're not really making a lot of sense. No one's objecting to the collection boxes. It's leaving the glyphs in the boxes that is odd . . . 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you also remove your weapon and armor upgrades, too, at the end of each day? 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Red Killian.3946 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I would like to congrats Anet for implementing fast home gathering. Are we seriously complaining about something when you get to gather in less than 2 min now? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I think what really kicked off the debate was @Cernoch.8524's suggestion that it was all a devious plot to sell more glyphs ; p 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it is engine limitation. they could easily just let us use already unlocked glyphs or let us use glyphs that we currently have in our tools on the character we are playing but they decided we need 3 more glyphs and they know people will buy them just to save few clicks. I just use one from my tool, it takes few seconds and it is much faster than farming it "by hand". Is it annoying? yes, it is but why should I spend 3k gems for more tools? I already have 4 sets of infinite tools now, sadly only 2 of those sets came with glyphs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gop.8713 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Which makes sense. And seeing as it makes sense, isn't it reasonable to expect that's what ppls are doing, and what anet expected ppls to do . . ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich.1783 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 It would be nice if Anet would add the 3 Glyph Choice box as an independent item in the Gemstore, for say 1k gems. It could be a one time per account item, or not, that depends on if Anet is happy with the price on higher value glyphs, which I can not speak to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinceman.4572 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 They want to make money how terrible. You can still farm the homestead the usual way with the gathering tools using the glyph on them. For that extra convenience plus the glyph buff you have the option to put them into the gathering chests. And yes, here I am: I bought another set of gathering tools with my gems (that were converted via gold) and put those juicy volatile ones in the chest while having another set of glyphs in my gathering tools on the char. Why? Because "I'm rich, you know". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake.9023 Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 this is just silly, cant be intended. i even forgot to take back the glyph after the 3rd collect all..... and relog into the char in homestead to unequip again....lol wth is this design man 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
