Guild Wars 2

It sure seems so! And ascended weapons are coming. Anet updated the screenshot page, and it got a picture of meteor. with new effects it seems like

Well.. so I missed chance to buy precursor for 100g.. again -_-
Anyway, looks like effects depend on attunement

I hope that they keep the same colour scheme and that screen shot was a weird hue.

But from what I can see im not excited that much seeing as they’re putting little creativity into it. But from what I can tell:

1. They added Lightning to it (seems inappropriate but meh)
2. Weird shine effects (very lazy an effect why don’t we have more clouds?)
3. No aura unless the weird shines are the aura, then this is really stupid and lazy.
4. If they’re adding lightning to it (a very small lightning effect) does it mean we will just get a copy and pasted bolt footstep effect?

Honestly knowing Anet it all seem possible.

I wonder how effects will look for mes/guard/necro though…

How do you in any conclude that it would depend on attunement? There seems to be no indication that the Sylvari in the picture is an elementalist to begin with.

Lightning catcher skin have purple glow + Lightning
Meteorlogicus will have purple glow + Lightning
(let’s forget about wind catcher, just becouse)
I don’t think that Anet is so stupid to just adjust colors which are worse IMO
They need to add smth extra becouse as you can see there is no new aura.

Someone please upload. I cannot see any screenshots on that page.

That’s a bit of a stretch imo. It more likely has a day and night cycle now with the picture being the night animation.

I REALLY hope they will make legendary account bound with this patch.. I doubt it, but it would be very nice…

That would be awesome.

TY.

So glad I finished mine b4 this.

I’m glad they’re finally fixing it (and I’m eager to see what they did with The Minstrel), but I’m not sure why they went with a purple glow.

I am hoping they fix the Minstrel as well. It seems every time they respond about the fix to legendaries the Minstrel is always left out of the conversation.

Will we be getting an aura? I still don’t see one.

There are several better looking scepters in the game. Plus this thing takes 100 charged lodestones to make. There are plenty of reasons it has been one of the bottom priced (in terms of precursors) since forever.

Oh my G. I bought a precursor off someone for 135, waited two days and saw this post!
Today I opened the game and saw the same item for 370, and thought wtf??

Dusk also went up for some reason, but other pre’s stayed the same…

I agree with a day / night cycle theory. I think the SS is of the night cycle. I don’t think players will be getting their number 1 request though: Cloudy footfalls.

Honestly the biggest reason is lack of footsteps.

Oh and there will be no aura as per SS, so I hope it all wont end with just a day-night cycle and that’s it

wat about eternity?! :OD

Meteorlogicus is being changed, not fixed.

Art critics everywhere stand poised to pass judgment on the outcome .

(I think it would be awesome if it’s new FX includes a day/night cycle. Way cooler than yet another ‘footsteps’ weapon.)

Hoping for a day/night cycle as well (+footprints).
