Guild Wars 2

Why does the Bifrost leave rainbow footsteps and not the Dreamer??? I get the whole mythology of the Bifrost but. How did the designer of legendaries come to this conclusion?

I mean come on, the Dreamer honestly isn’t up to par with the rest of the 2 handed legendaries…

I mean compare it to the Predator and Kudzu (which have the least effects of the 2H legendaries)

Predator
-is on fire in your hand
-fires custom projectile
(-which leaves a laser-ish trail)
-pewpew sound

Kudzu
-grass+flower footsteps
-leafs animated on the bow it’s self
-fires leave flower trail

Dreamer
-fires custom projectile
-which leaves rainbow trail

Why?? Will this be changed in the future? I’m honestly very bummed about the dreamer not leaving the footsteps that the Bifrost does (or atleast pulling a trail of rainbow color behind you, like the Bifrost does…) and I’m sure other Dreamer owners are too.

Check out the legendary pistol, and you will quickly realize that all legendary skins are not created equal

That’s why I tried to emphasize TWO HANDED weapons. I know a lot of 1h legendaries don’t compare to the 2h ones… (Although the Incinetator still outweighs the Dreamer in terms of effects.)

This is only about 2hand legendaries.

Despise the hate for kudzu (probably due to people hating the whole nature theme), it’s easily one of the legendary with the most effects of the game (along with frostfang) so using it as a comparison saying it’s lackluster is kinda unfair to begin with.

As for The Dreamer, the “glass” parts of the weapon have a flowing effect but you pretty much need to zoom in to notice it…
There’s also a annoying horse sound when you fire.
I’d agree it deserve rainbow footprints, personally i’m not a huge fan of footprints (incinerator and frostfang are the only one looking decent imo, bifrost is bearable though) but whatever.

At least it’s not The Howler/Ministrel… and is not lacking projectile changes like Frenzy (this weapon is still pretty decent effect wise though)

Bolt is way better too, don’t forget about that. I guess my point is simply that it’s dumb that some of the legendaries are awesome, and some of them obviously didn’t get as much ANet love.

They are 1 handed weapons you can hold two of them.

oh! and Kudzu has a glowing effect on the golden parts when in your hand :c

I don’t get the seeming universal foot-fetish of players… Does every Legendary need to leave footprints to be special?

first world problem

not necessarily, I’m just saying that the Dreamer is not on par with the other TWO HANDED legendaries. Like it doesn’t leave neither a rainbow footstep, not a rainbow trail both of which do apply to the bifrost Even a simple Copy+Paste onto the Dreamer would fix this. It’s just very disappointing.

Copy/pasting from legendary to legenday just makes both of them LESS unique.

While it may need something to give it pizzaz, trying to get that pizzaz by robbing another weapon of it is not an optimal solution.

IMO, The Dreamer should have the rainbow trail of Bifrost while The Bifrost instead of having rainbow effect, it should have aurora like effect instead. Less dreamy and more mythological. Bifrost + rainbow, lol.

YES! Quip should leave a trail of balloons when walking.

I’d prefer confetti footprints.

After 20 years of internet people still don’t understand how to fill out a subject line.

Tell me about it, when i saw that I was like WHAAAA? why bother!

As an engineer I had hoped there would be like mini hand cannons or something awesome.

Are all these complains about quip serious??

IT’S A CLOWN GUN!!!!
What more can you ask for to own your enemies while throwing bubbles and confetti in their faces?

exactly what I thought too! It seems really misplaced on the Bifrost.
