Guild Wars 2

First of all, let me congratualate Guild Wars 2 developers for creating such a great game.

Thanks for the legendary greatswords, they are perfect the way you devoped their animations and skins. I suggest that arenanet use the greatswords as a springboard for the rest of the legendary weapons. I think all legendaries like greatsword should have 2-3 skins to reward players. Please don’t ever change the greatsword animations or skins since they are great now. You can always upgrade stats to keep up or stay above other weapons in game as arenanet graciously promised.

As for other weapon skins, I suggest for epic animations and skins for more variety for the weapons. Afterall, people are working hard for these awesome weapons. I know stats are the big thing in game. But since these are legendary weapons they should all follow suit of the greatsword and staff in animations. All weapons should have great animations and skinart.

Recommend 2-3 skins for all legendaries. The pistol and rifle skins and animations right now are too childish. I not sure that everyone who wants pistol would like clown gun but a small amount of people Plus the rifle shouldn’t necessarily have laser sounds, it just looks weird from videos I have seen on them.

Skins: create opposite effect skins like greatswords: sunrise and twilight for example. Bitfrost should have another skin like fire effect or lightning or something. Hammer legendary should leave like pounded ground imprints when you walk (make like its heavy on ground). The longbow and shortbow skins/animations are great for the ladies right now. I suggest another skin for them to match more manly animations like blood or monsters foaming off the weapon or something. I suggest another skin similar to Destroyer bow but with more animated effect leaving footprints and insects as well or something.

As for water weapons, they may not necessarily need 3 skins like land weapon legendaries but it would be cool for 2.

Some of the legendaries just look plain and need that awesomeness about them.

I also suggest legendary transmutation stones to change skins once the other similar weapons skins come out. For example once a extra pistol skins comes out in expansion, a person should be able to change skins with legendary transmutation stone at Mystic Forge to new pistol skin if they choose. Some folks may like to be different and enjoy the clown pistol. And for some reaons it has 3 skins like greatsword. If you combine clown gun with the newer skins maybe just have clown effects within minute timeframe of completing a quest or storymode to celebrate using the clown animations etc.

I think adding variety and depth to all legendaries will add to the fun and joy of obtaining these great weapons. People will feel rewarded for their hard work getting their preferred weapon choice for legendary.

Thanks again Arenanet.

I love your suggestions, I hope ANet Developers read what you wrote. I personally don’t like either the pistol (due to the clown theme) and the rifle (because it’s a sniper rifle and my Engineer’s shooting animation is a hip shot making it look ridiculous). I’m sure more legendary weapons will come out in the future so they should take your advice with the skins. Make it more legendary and less gimmicky. As of now, Greatswords are the only legendary worth getting IMO.

Personally I love the rifle, although I think I like its precursor more than the legendary skin… I just don’t care for warrior/engineer’s rifle skills.

The one hand sword looks pretty cool and I love how the axe makes your arm frozen. If I had more money I would love to get the axe on my norn. Sunrise/Twilight are great though.. except I don’t like the hilts [excluding the guard angel/demon thing which I do like].

I know I’m resurrecting a thread that’s over two weeks old, but I’d rather comment here than start a new thread.

First off, I’d like to say that I agree with Draymos in all his suggestions. I find it unfair that the greatsword has multiple skins, while all the others are left with one (which not all people are happy with).

I’m an engie with a pistol/pistol build, and like Draymos, I find the Quip to be rather childish. I do like The Predator, but I like my pistol/pistol build far too much to look into rifle builds (and like Kuraikoto, I just don’t care for the rifle skills). I feel like my only option for obtaining a nifty legendary is by making another class, with a legendary that I actually like.
