Guild Wars 2

Really?!?! It’s a LEGENDARY bow, why doesn’t it look LEGENDARY?!

Incredible letdown if you ask me. Yes it shoots rainbows, but Kudzu (Which is a two-handed bow too) has special particle effects on shot AND footprints… Why doesn’t The Dreamer have like rainbow footprints?? Or is this just a bug? Very disappointed, I think if all two handed weapons have a footprint effect, The Dreamer certainly deserves one too, I mean it’s the same effort as any other two-handed legendary.

wait, you mean to tell me all legendary have particle footprints??? :O

Since all the legendaries I’ve seen so far leave footprints I guess this might be a bug so you may write a ticket to them and ask them :P

@penatbater Yeap all of them leave footprints when you walk

and for stealthed characters ? There will be footprints too?

sorry, already answered in another post.

ty bb

so.. what if you have the sword and shield, which footprint will u get? o.O

I hope that its only a bug . I mean , the model of the dreamer isnt very awesome , only the rainbows are the awesome kitten it got , and without footprints or anything else ( maybe rainbow traps or w/e ) its a big , big disappointment and not worth crafting . They should add a special pet ( a pony or unicorn ) for rangers if you get the dreamer

they should make it like a nyan cat

Until we’ve seen all legendaries we can’t say if they all have ‘trail’ particle effects. It’s entirely possible this is the way this item is meant to be. I mean, it already shoots rainbows how can you possibly ask for more?

Great projectile for those who like it, but dissapointed in lack of passive effects like the other legendaries. No footsteps, no cloud or glow.

I would rly appreciate it if a dev could answer this .

this needs to be changed!

I agree this should be changed. An official response would be nice if this is a bug or not.

From what i have seen of the legendary hammer, it doesnt have any walking particles but rather makes your armor look like chrome.

i think its working as intended. this is disappointing , it should at least be on par with the bifrost, rainbow glow effects + rainbow footprints. makes me reconsider making it now.

i think only main hand will have effects on the character. someone mentioned that equipping the bolt on off hand will not have electricity effect on the character when unsheathed but only the particle effects on the weapon itself.

Obviously the unicorn should wink, with one of those cartoonish “twinkle” flashes when it does so.

… and maybe it should giggle like a small girl at a tea-party.

U should get a unicorn pet . Of course it can wink and speak .

There definitely are bugs with certain items that have particle effects.
My example: got the Ghastly Longbow from AC. It never showed any sort of effect for me, but apparently others could see it (it has a blue-smoke glowing effect at night). I thought id never see the effect…then i decided to switch the longbow into my second weapon slot, and voila, the effect started to work. After a little combat, tho, it stopped again….so i put it back in the 1st weapon slot, and the effect came back.
Essentially, there’s bugs with effects on certain weapons, and changing their weapon slots (at least for me) did the trick temporarily…the same happened for a few of my guildies. At times, id see the effects on their weapons but they couldnt see their own, and vice-versa…
Try changing weapon slot or something similar to “reset” the effect. Also, it may only occur during the night/day for that particular item, or in combat, or not in combat….unfortunately there’s so much we dont know…

was this answered some place else, cause i just googled the dreamer no footprints and only found this. was bummed to find out no footprints are left behind with this short bow..

This is totally incorrect. several legendaries have no footprints. Minstrel, Meterologicus, and Howler, just to name a few.

@Ryoki – Yeap I know those ones don’t. Check my post it was written a month ago so at the time of writing I still hadn’t seen all of them :P

Also i think Sunrise has no footprint where as Twilight does, both being greatswords. Hell he happy it at least has some effect. Meteorlogicus doesn’t really do squat. Face it, if it isn’t a staff or greatsword, it got screwed.

No Sunrise definately leaves footprints. It’s Eternity that doesn’t leave footprints….

This. We all know that Greatswords get all the love in this game. He(kitten)ll, you have a choice of 3 Greatswords and 1 of everything else. It’s extremely disappointing that some get particle effects and footprints and options when others don’t.

Makes me want to go back to thinking of creating Incinerator/Bolt/Quip… ANYTHING a Thief could use that’s comparably awesome in skin but has better effects. Shooting rainbows is cool, but not enough.

I heard that the rainbow particle effect on The Dreamer is going to be tied to the /fart emote. I don’t know if it is true, that is just something I heard.

Indeed for now Greatswords seem to have gotten most of the love, but in the future this might change and other weapons might be better looking than the Greatswords :P
