Guild Wars 2

So here’s an idea, release a bunch of skins for legendaries (say 2 or 3 variances of a legendary, different colors, effects, maybe small minor formal changes for example) and put that on the gemstore ! Those skins would of course only apply to the people that have the legendary.

For example: a skin for a different shine color for Meteorlogicus on TP would only apply to Meteorlogicus and wouldn’t count as an applicable skin on any other weapons like the ones we get from events.

Or something like a particle effect color customizer!

Anyways, I think I’d be a cool way to answer to all the unhappy legendary owners that are constantly complaining about their weapon and another nice thing to see on the gemstore!

Let me know what you think ^^ !

I don’t think the tiny market would justify the cost of development for these skins.

so in short, only the super rich and the jobless can get them, ppl who barely have time to play games can never get them…….year, no.

So let Anet make it possible for fans to make them. It works with steam workshop, what’s the problem to reward a bit more such achievement as getting legendary? It’s current features are really poor.

I was wondering for a second why legendary weapons need additional leg skin.

I dont like people with legendaries.

→ No.

- Small target audience
- Amount of time invested in creating/optimizing the effects and skin to make them “legendary worthy”
- Compare this to profitability of non-restricted items
- No chance in hell

I don’t have a legendary (not even close), but this sounds like a cool idea to me. Maybe someone wants a legendary shortbow that isn’t rainbows and unicorns. Or just wants something a bit different. It could actually get more people interested in making legendaries in the first place.

lol. I thought the same thing

The idea is kinda meh, but i must admit: it would be nice to choose the skin if it gets changed. For example, the dreamer. Since they made it shoot unicorns, it looks rubbish imo. If there was a way to choose the old version shooting plain rainbows instead i could even go for it.
So alternate leg skin in this sense – getting a specific previous setup over the current “standard” – would have more spense.
Assets are already present – past stuff in game – and there are ppl upset for changes to their beloved weapon enough to get this.

Oh, not leg skins.

Or….(Here’s a concept that might be too insane for GW2 players), we could incorporate them into the game as rewards for challenging content. A legendary quest. No money or gold, people getting them from playing the game. Not some BS escort quest like most of the main story is full of, i’m talking a hard solo dungeon (with loots of course) and maybe bits of a branching path storyline in there so everyone’s legendary experience is a bit different.
