Hello,
As it is know the bast majority of the community is really dissapointed with most of the legendary weapons, not because the skins are ugly but because the lack of effects or simply the lack of variety.
Some Weaposn feel really worked, for example, The three greatswords, the hammer or the bolt, while other are rather simple showing only the weapon skin with no “legendary animations”.
In this thread we try to comment what would it take to make the current legendaries to actually put up for the name.
The point is to have the same skin, no radical changes, just changes that would make it feel better for the users.
I will start by describing all the weapons we know by now, the adding w/e effect imo should be added to make it more like it.
The Bifrost:
Current effects: Glowy rainbow staff, makes your whole body glow with a rainbowish effect, pretty neat if it fits your character.
Issues and fix: Doesn’t fit necromancers or dark themed staff users, perhaps making a dark version the same way the gs are twins?
Bolt:
Current effects: Lightning swing, lightning body glow, lightning footsteps and electric noise. This weapon is actually perfect as legendary if you ask me.
Rodgort:
No info
The Dreamer:
Current effects: Shoot rainbows.
Issues and fix: Keeping the rainbow style, the whole weapon is missing that something that makes it be seen, perhaps rainbowish footsteps or a body glow would make it more viable.
Flameseeker prophecies:
Current effects: Glows blue and Pages turn themselves.
Issues and fix: For the moment we know offhand weapons dont offer any animation changes, imo that should be changed. Open suggestion on how to improve this weapon.
Frenzy:
No info
Frostfang
Current effects: Big ice axe, look pretty neat and have ice footsteps and half you arm frozen.
Issues and fix: hard to notice, perhaps some chilly effect should be added to the body.
Howler:
No info
Incinerator
Current effects: A intense fiery blade comes from the hilt, gives blazing footprints.
Issues and fix: Extremly hard to notice, adding swing effect to leave a trail of fiery or giving the user a fiery body glow, like the one used for endure pain (warrior skill)
The Juggernaut:
Current effects: Awesome weapon, swinging it leaves a trail of liquied silver, also it gives a metallic effect to whole your body.
Kudzu:
Current effects: Shoots flowers and gives “flower footsteps”.
Issues and fix: imo the bow is pretty neat, nice and big skin and the flower footsteps combined with the flower shooting makes it easy to see.
Kraikitin:
Current effects: The eels move slightly and have a “dark breath” at day, at night the staff frozes and have a glowy effect.
Issues and fix: Perhaps make the eels move way more?
Maw of the deep
No info
- Meteorlogicus
Current effects: Planets move slightly and it has a really small glow.
Issues and fix: The skin is fine but it doesn’t feel legendary, giving the user “cloudy” footprints or giving it clouds arround the body would totally solve the issue.
The minstrel
Current effects: Just an arp, some music notes goes arround it, almost imposible to notice.
Issues and fix: Give Musical notes footsteps aswell as doing the weapon itself more noticeable.
The moot
Current effects: It’s a discoball, and it shines, also when you hit it sounds like firecrackers.
Issues and fix: Pretty rad weapon actually, perhaps make it a lil more glowy? speacially in dark ambients.
The predator
Current effects: Just kitten, a sniper rifle that shoots lasers nad have the pact cannons sound when shooting, i just wish they add rifles to thieves so i can create this.
Quip
No info.
Sunrise and Twilight: I think there’s no need to describe them, they look great and feel like a real legendary.
Well that is pretty much all i can say, i hope some of you guys comment here with some good suggestions and make arenanet hear us for the sake of the endgame!
Cheers.
