Guild Wars 2

Well first of i not sure if this has been suggested before as i havent gone true all of the posts in here.
But i real think the ways too get a legendary need some looking into. Im totaly fine with it being realy hard and time consuming too get one. As it realy should be, from my point of view its mainly i real big farming event too get one.
Dont get me wrong here im all for it that you need too get alot of stuff too gain one, but i realy thing there could be othere ways too make people go for it.
My thought how too make it abit more fun would be implent anothere storyline for it soo it woould be more a real long quest too get it. Like they had in Everquest 2 for there epic stuff.
Best option here would be have diffrent npcs starting the storyline for diffrent legendarys and maybe have some diffrent steps for them. Sure i understand that it would take some work too get that going or too make it abit more simple maybe have a legendary npc that hand out storys for diffrent legendarys.
First story part could be geting materials for making the precursor or even chop it up in a couple storys that would take you too diffrent locations around the world, could even aquire you too go into dungeons or way not even world vs world. Too get diffrent stuff or even make small events pop up when you come too a place that spawn some mobs that you would need too take down.
And when you done with that keep it up in the same spirit untill you got all the stuff you need for a legendary.
Stuff that could be put into the story could even be killing special mobs from events that already exicist or even do special jumping puzzles or what ever you could think of just put in a extra reward from doing does things if your on that story for legendary.
The thing im after is that I for one would sure think it was more fun too have it more quest like too get one then just gathering a big amount of materials some mostly relaying on luck too get.
And one more bright thing about doing it this way is that you give people yet anothere reson too go back too low level zones too get stuff that been placed there or already are there but all the sudden are needed for something.
But one thing i dont want too see is that it would be easyer too get one, it should still be hard too get one. And realy think it should take alot of time too, but not like its not where like precursors mainly is about luck too get one soo if nothing else maybe just put in something like this too atleast get the precursor.
And by the way having a story like this would point more people in the right direction on how too get a hold of one, instead of having too go too a forum or google it up.
This is just some thought and could proberly be adjusted in many ways soo if anyone got more ides feel free too spin of this.
The amount of stuff you need for making one could still be about same

Your implementation involves a quest. People like to quest, therefore everyone would do it. Guides would show up on the internet showing the fastest ways to do it and soon enough everyone has a legendary.

I do not agree with your idea, I think there is already too many legendary weapons in the game already and they’ve really lost their uniqueness.

The legendaries should remain as an optional and daunting task in my opinion.

People are hung up on the name or the fact it is ment to be “unique”.
Fact…anything “unique” in an MMO is quickly owned by a large percentage of a community and suddenly the “common” items are now the truly unique ones due to no one using them.

Think you missing my point abit. Im in no way after it too be easyer or faster too be able too get on. Rather the othere way around, I wouldnt mind if it got harder too get it. But more after that they made it into a story too get one. Soo i realy think the amount of stuff you need for one should be the same or even raise it.
The part im against is the pure luck part like the precurser, as the only way too get one is basicaly only luck realated.
I rather se that you could get one by doing some realy hard or realy time consuming storyline.
For a example first step in story for geting the precurser could involve that you have too collect the same amount of ingots that you need for gift of metal too complete that step.
Next step could involve doing 3-4 dungeons too get some item that only drop in there if you one the story.
Next step could be go too diffrent places in the world talking too npc that trigger some event that gives you some mats that needed and soo its keeps going.
I no way i want this too be easy too do and would realy like it too be a thing that would take month too complete.
Sure im i big fan of long questchains and for does that played everquest 2, im thinking about the epic quests and heretig questlines.
And well for people that play hardcore it would proberly go fast for them too get one but on the othere hand they get one fast as it is already. Soo i dont see that they would be more common then they already are, unless anet made the story way too easy. And thats one thing i realy dont want too happend.
It should even be soo that mobs and stuff needed should need you too team up with otheres or they could be impossible too get down. And that would even be one more reson for people too play thoughter.

I believe that there should be 2 ways to get a legendary.

The first original way. the grinding path. The one in which will take countless hours of grinding in many different parts of the game. But requires absolutely no skill. Only luck and time….and the cost of losing ones social life in the real world XD

The secound would be one that would take some time. But only a minute in comparison to the first method. This path is one that although takes a little grinding is sololy reliant on ones own skill. This methods would be through some kind of pvp tournament inside the pve realm. This tournament could take place many ways. My idea of how it should take place is once a week or day. On a specific time of a day you can enter a tournament in which you will fight 1v1 against another competitor. If you lose you will be knocked down and will be out of the tourny. If you win then you will fight one of the other victors. Then if you win that you will fight another victor, and so on and so forth.

This will continue until only 1 remains. That person would receive any 1 legendary he or she wishes. And would gain fame for his or her skill as that persons name would be put up somewhere saying he or she was the winner of that month or week or day. Depending on how often the tournament is held. You could also have a 3 person winner per day were third get 1 legendary,2nd gets 2 legendays, and first gets 3 legendarys.
I know many would be against 1v1. but really there is no way to allow a team to enter when only 1 legendary would be given. Also it really should only be by that 1 persons skill alone.

This way a person without pvp skill would be able to get his or her legendary through time, and a person with a godly amount of pvp skill would be able to get his or her legendary through skill.

I consider myself very skilled, and I would die for the chance to be able to get at a legendary not by luck. Not by time and grinding, but by the skill I have with the sword I control with my keybord XD

Ahaha. The method they have already is just fine. Its the precursors that will be changed. Their idea of a “scavenger hunt” for them is nice (and hopefully will be released sometime this month or the next). The idea of the legendary is to prolong game play and the almighty “end-game content”. The best and simplest way to do this obviously is through material grinding and money dumping. Personally I find getting a legendary quite simple and you do not necessarily have to play 24/7 to get one as I have certainly not. Making it a quest chain is straightforward and just going to make it easier when everything required is just placed in front of you. Making it a reward for pvp tourneys is also not ideal since many people can pvp (not everyone in this game is “skill-less”), that’s not difficult. It will completely ruin spvp as well, because who wants to do that when I could easily duel Joe Shmoe over here in a daily bracket for a chance at the best weapon in the game. Also having a daily/weekly chance at this is will significantly increase the amount of them in game and ruin its appeal and worth. It is called a “Legendary” for a reason and should be kept that way. Remember, it is completely optional to craft one and not something that one must acquire to feel they accomplished something.

Anet implements this = 80% of the population is swinging a legendary around.

I consider my GS legendary now. I run the Charr Tier 2 Cultural GS (lvl 60) and not a day goes by that I don’t receive a whisper about how cool it is and asking where I got it. So for the non-Charr I point them to the BLT.

The nice thing about this game is that I already have my Legendary stat on this GS so I don’t have to chase the real Legendary unless I want the skin. With how many real Legendary GS’s I see now, I like the one I have just fine.
