Guild Wars 2

Legendary weapons are the result of hours and hours of gameplay, they show dedication to the game. But since the “Legendary” part in “Legendary weapon” is only cosmetic, it’s not always worth it for the hardcore players among us to obtain one. We are supposed to farm and grind while we could be enjoying brilliant content instead. Now, my suggestion is to give them an advantage, stat-wise. It has come to my attention that this is in fact on ArenaNet’s to-do-list (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/linsey-murdock-unveils-new-high-end-ascended-gear/): “…all existing legendary weapons, which are currently on par with Exotics, will be upgraded to be on par with Ascended weapons…” — Linsey Murdock.

This is not exactly what I want. I suggest Legendary Weapons have the best stats in-game (Wether it be on par with Ascended, or higher. As the article states.), AND a little extra. Here is my suggestion: Legendary weapons should have a drop-down box that allows the player to choose the stats he/she wants at any given time (outside of combat). This would make one worth getting while supprting different playstyles.

While I’m ranting on about legendary weapons, I would like to include a second suggestion: In the “Character Select” screen, make it so that the “Legendary Weapon account medal” is NOT “Wield a Legendary Weapon”, but instead: “Craft a Legendary Weapon”. This is more logical in my opinion. Anyone can buy a Legendary weapon with gold (that could have been bought with real money), which wouldn’t make it very “Legendary”. While crafting one requires a certain amount of skill (dungeon tokens), patience, organisation, etc.

I would love to hear any opinions about this.

If you would love to hear any opinions about this, you would have looked two topics down and seen the exact same topic written by someone else, with opinions presented.

As a matter of fact, I have seen and read the entire topic. I suggest Legendary Weapons are put on par with Ascended gear, but I also say in this topic that the previous is already being discussed by ArenaNet.

I just wanted to put my personal thoughts on the matter via a suggestion (the drop-down box and Account medal). This is not being discussed in your mentioned topic.

That doesn’t mean you should create a whole new topic of it, you could’ve just as well have commented on that thread about your idea.

I disagree. Since it is a completely new and different suggestion I think it belongs in a new topic. Just because it’s about the same subject doesn’t mean it should be grouped up into one big topic.

Nope. There has been suggestions for:

• Being able to choose Legendary Stats
• Legendary weapons having higher stats than the top-tier (Exotic, Ascended)

My apologies. I must have missed that topic.

The grind is legendary for them so they are legendary lol.

OP, legendary weapons actually scale to the highest weapon stats whenever they come out. The only power legendaries only have power, toughness, and vitality on all of them which makes no sense. Legendaries one you get them are suppose to always be the top weapon in game, but again stats need to change for range weapons.

A legendary weapon should be Ascended rarity. This means better than Exotic. Unfortunately this would make casual players in a huge disadvantage over hardcore players and therefore will never be accepted.

AND MAKE IT SO IT DOESN’T REQUIRE SO MUCH CRAP TO CRAFT. Anet said it wanted to get away from grinding yet that’s exactly what players have to do to get the materials to craft a legendary.
I mean c’mon the amount of stuff you have to get is almost insane. It’s ridiculous.
