Guild Wars 2

Ok here goes no trolls please

To obtain a legendary is the result of an epic adventure exploring all areas of the game and collecting the needed parts to make one.

So they have now given us more way to get certain parts of the legendary but one small fact remains.

Unless you are willing to pay over the top prices for your pre cursor you have very little chance to actually get one. You are totally in the hands of the RNG god.

How about for those people that have Hunted and found all the needed parts (apart from the Pre Cursor) can be given a quest link chain (nothing to easy) to complete and the reward is an account bound Pre cursor.
This is just a thought ?

this belongs in the suggestions forum not the general discussion.

I wish legendary weapons couldn’t be bought : / buying a precursor isn’t really epic, Gw2 deserves more real challenge !

Indeed a story/quest to obtain your Legendary Weapon is something I would love to see. I’m still debating if I should try and get one, as I totally abhor farming, especially with the lack of drops as they are. I can stand it for maybe 10-15 minutes at most b4 i get bored out of my mind. And we certainly need more story-oriented quests in this game.

I have to agree with all those people that have said there’s nothing legendary about the legendary weapon the way it’s currently obtained.
The Precursor could be a cursed weapon that you have to do a chain quest to get it purified and to use to craft your Legendary Weapon. The quest could be same for all weapons (or be somewhat varied at some point) where at the end you get to choose the one you want.
It could even be class based quest and you only get to chose precursors relevant to your class.

thank you for the feed back guys.

Its funny how Anet monitors crafting mat drops and other TP items so strictly to not destabilize the economy, yet doesn’t give a kitten about 3000+ gold items listed there.
Well, I guess, 5% of 3000 gold is a darn good gold sink (the other 10% will most prob not happen because I cannot imagine anyone actually buying such an item off the TP).

I know a few people in my guild and even myself feel that legendary weapons would be so much more epic if they had individual stories to obtain the precursor. Like how the summed up the story line with something you need 5 people for. some sort of quest you unlock after hitting level 80 and get 100% map completion.. something you can complete more than once perhaps.(less epic.. but still.) Oh, The satisfaction i would get from completing a nearly impossible quest to get a precursor. then i could really be proud to show off my legendary weapon.

sigh* — too much day dreaming of gw2 lore.
