Guild Wars 2

I think the model is wicked awesome. To be honest, though, there is nothing really “legendary” about it. It just doesn’t stand out. Yeah it’s huge but it just looks like a regular crafted weapon. No sound effects, No aura, No foot-fall. I love the dang thing I just want it to have some awesomely cool effect. NOW. ANET. Don’t be trolls and add some corny pony shooting effect. I am not disrespecting the artist— I think they did a great job. I just think it would be fair to add a foot-fall or an aura and sound effect too if you’re feeling generous. I worked extremely hard for this weapon ( six months almost as long as you intended them to take with no hardcore grinding just slow and gradual progression.) I’d just like to be standing in Lion’s Arch and for people to admire the weapon and stand out as ANET has intended the legendary weapons to do. Cause honestly the other day someone saide nice focus.. (chalice of the gods) instead of nice scepter. T.T Please its been so long and you’ve updated legendaries that didn’t even need updating and have forgotten about the ones that could use some loving.

please thanks! <3

We’ve known for quite some time, and even the wiki has said that it contains no effects other than a purple/blue tail. That being said, I made mine regardless because how bloody pretty it is. If they add effects, that’s cool. If not, whatever, it’s still pretty.

Yeah… I just wish it had a little something extra like most others.. I agree though the model is probably one of the best.

Next to the minstrel, meteor needs a graphic update the most. Despite having great skins, exotic scepters and focus have much better effects.

Ah, thank you for agreeing – Leo. I, too, think it needs just a bit of a visual buff.

I’m sure they are working on improving legendary skins. They admitted awhile back that the game was released with some legendary effects missing (you wouldn’t want to hold back the game just cause some legendaries are lacking).

The february patch showed numerous improvements and I’m sure they are currently working on the rest.

u_U me? trolling you in WvW when you finally made it.

meh, I think scepter has one of the best main skins, there’s not really that much to complain about unless you’re going to compare it to other legendaries and make a “must have” list for what a Legendary should have, like some people think footfalls are a must? At some point none of the legendary weapons is unique in it’s kind because they all provide the exact same thing with a different skin/animation.

By that I mean if they do add more, at some point every Legendary has a footfall, instead of; only few have a footfall but others provide an body aurora. Not having ALL types of effects on a single weapon makes it more tempting for people to get a second. If you already have every effect people just go for the one they like the most and claim victory.

/helpfull-constructive-you’re-not-going-to-get-footfalls-post <3

I do agree though, each Legendary should make a person wielding it stand out a lot more than a regular weapon. Maybe the Scepter should have this Massive pony run along with your scepter swin.. oh, right… No pony’s guys!

maybe a nyan horse.. he didn’t mention anything about that… with a sharp cone shape on his forehead… See, we’re getting somewhere.

I crafted mine last week and i couldn’t be happier, i worked hard for it and the model is awesome.

But, i have to agree with the OP, Meteorlogicus definitly needs some footprints.
How hard can it be ? they already have the code for the footprints system, just pick a kitten footprint color and add it to the game… it would take a developper what ? 5/10 minutes ?
If, as the post before mine suggested, they don’t want to add footprints, i would expect at least an aura or anything that would show that YES, this is a legendary weapon in my hand, not some exotic i could have bought for 5g’s on the TP.
(althought i would prefer footprints)

Crafting this legendary weapon takes as long as any other,and the need for charged lodestones makes it one of the most expensive, why would we be stuck with a sub par effect ?

I also agree with some other posts in here, the minstrel for exemple needs some love too.

As a world first Meteorlogicus, I’d approve this post

As a world first Meteorlogicus,

I am so happy that you mentioned that.

While we are talking about effects on legendaries, pls don’t change anything about the shield.

Lol @Riaky!! Yes, I really hope they add some visual effects soon T.T.

I actually think Meteorlogicus is better than Incinerator actually, despite having less effects.

the shield needs a fix in terms of guardian aegis, but yeah I think I would love some trails on FSP

All legendarys need footprints atleast!

Frosti.4856:

All legendarys need footprints atleast!

No only if you get an option to disable them.

Frosti.4856:

All legendarys need footprints at least!

No only if you get an option to disable them.

That is a really interesting suggestion. I think it would add an extra level of customization to user’s models!

I agree with OP, I’m working on my Meteor too these days and footprints couldn’t be that hard to implement (imagine small clouds or weather effects like rain/sunshine, it does come from the Gift of Weather after all .. ).

Small improvements like this would bring so much more people around legendaries other than the greatsword trio.

Yea, Especially since it’s your main weapon with a scepter using player – it would only be fair to add a visual buff- maybe rain droplets? or small water droplets at the feet, or small thunder clouds, or snowflakes? In my head it looks pretty.
But I don’t see why it wasn’t implemented in the first place- Unless to say “These legendaries are obviously visually more stunning that these and that’s how we want it.” OR not much thought was put into it- If a better reason was given as to why some have better effects than others- making the ‘some’ seem more legendary than the ‘others’ I mean it’s the same epic quest as another; yea, it differs in a few items – but In all they should be equal with visualization.. xD anyways, Meterologicus is still gorgeous!!

Agree to all. The model is so great it just needs some really awesome effect to enhance its great look. I like the weather ideas people keep suggesting. While clouds would be cool I think it would be rather boring for something nearly named after a weatherman. Should include a little bit of every weather condition. Rain, Snow, Thunder (XD), wind :O… Go nuts Anet.

We need more complainers so Anet pay more attention to this thread & add more effects to legendaries not just Meteorlogicus.

please anet update the legendary scepter

I own Meyeorologicus for very long and would ,too ,appreciate much to see the addition of an effect.
Mainly visible footsteps but an aura would be cool too.
I really hope that they are working on it.
At the moment,legendaries are just not equal in term of prestige.

I am working on the Meteorlogicus and knowing it has no effects bothers me a bit. Spending all that gold on a weapon (probably the loveliest weapon in the game imo) and it doesn’t get any footprints or aura but offhands do?

Meteorlogicus DOES have effects!

I can tell many posters in this thread haven’t yet seen it ingame, as it has a blue aura and trail.

yes effect update please

I think they will release a huge “legendary update patch” including improved way to get them (precusor hunt and whatever) and improved visuals for most of them (underwater weapons, meteorologicus and ministrel come to mind). Might aswell do everything at once rather than updating a few here and there.

I have been working on Meteorlogicus as my first legendary. Having seen the effects of some of the greatsword and dagger legendaries in the game and being impressed, I was looking forward to something similar for the scepter. I had never seen a Meteorlogicus in-game, so I went to YouTube to see the effects of the legendary and…nothing. An almost nonexistent colored aura is not particularly appealing, and it’s certainly not on par with some of the other effects out there. Meteorlogicus has a beautiful skin, but the devs definitely need to add some type of effect to give the scepter legendary status (and make me excited again in my ambition to craft one).

I’m sure they are preparing a very long and explanative post to answer you about this really serious issue…

yea I hope it gets a little more coolness soon

so close to making mine 18 skill points to go and I will have it!

We gamers can be quite demanding at times and often unfair. We always want stuff, asap and we think we’re always right
But in all honesty, in the case of the legendaries, I believe the players are right.
This ultimate goal, is very VERY hard to get. It’s time consuming. Some that have had their legendaries for a while now and have probably forgotten how much farming it required.

Skins are one thing. People will like them or they won’t but the animations are there for some weapons and not for others. Players clearly see the difference. It’s nice to have trails and footsteps, it’s a clear identification of a legendary weapon. You want people to notice and with the zoomed out views most people use, it’s never clear. Animations and effects are the best way to reward the player’s efforts.

Does Anet agree with us that they left some legendaries out to dry? I don’t know. Because, let’s be honest, after an entire year since the game has been out, they haven’t done anything to fix it. They have however put out loads of new skins, models, quests, etc. If they wanted to do it, they would and they have had plenty of time.

It is sad, but alas, not the end of the world.
