Guild Wars 2

If you can change the effects of any of the existing legendaries now, how would you improve it? For me, I’d make The Minstrel leave a trail of feathers and maybe some musical note footsteps..

The Dreamer needs footprints, maybe a glow effect and the ability to revert the unicorn clip art changes back to the original rainbow effect. It’s simply outclassed by most legendary weapons.

But it’s attacks are very noticeable, unlike frostfang which really has a great throwing animation however when meleeing is hardly able to be distinguished from corrupted weapons. Maybe a bigger tail when swung, or a giant awesome ice breath “flame” when using eviscerate.
Howler has footfalls, granted if you’re fully zoomed in and it’s night time. I it looked as though I was constantly walking in a puddle that’d be pretty sweet.
But these are just the ones I have, better than the scepter at least.

id like an eternity with a cloudy sky and lightnings… id really want it.
as a mesmer i think focus and scepter also need some love.

The Dreamer could leave footprints. Hoof shaped with Rainbows in them.

Erm… Am I the only one who think that The Moot footprints disappear too fast, just compare it with Kudzu/Incinerator/Bolt/Frostfang/Bifrost/Sunrise/Twilight…
and It’s looks like only Howler have the same time for footprints, so it means that every reworked Legendary (including The Dreamer) will have those 1second footprints. RLY!? Is it hard to add just.. 1 more second/footstep? To be visible?

Looks like I need to make more topics on forum so Anet could respond.. or not?

No, your threads will be ignored as usual, and deleted at best.

Do we want to talk about Meteorlogicus?

The Flameseeker Prophecies could use more effects. Right now it just glows and the pages flip around. Given it’s a Legendary with a heavy Lore component, it could use some more pop.

Maybe have footsteps leave runes while it is equipped?

A great suggestion here earlier regarding the FPS was to make it have trails. Not foot trails, but an aura trail of flying pages from the book. It would have that blue ghostly aura.

Actually, that sounds awesome – much better than my suggestion.

I hope one of the dev team goes after this idea for the FSP – would look really nice.

Yea I like the flying pages for the FPS.. Incinerator needs an update too.. it’s one of the more boring legendaries out there despite having foot trails.. But please improve the minstrel first!!!

Cool idea. So many was wrote, noone applied..

IMO, Bolt, Eternity set, the Predator, the Moot, the Bifrost, Quip, the Dreamer, and the Kudzu are all very nice.

Meterologicus and The Minstrel need an effect besides their unique models.
Flameseeker Prophecies should leave a trail of blue pages as someone mentioned.
Frostfang and Incenerator needs off-hand frozen/burning arms and something like a special freezing/blackening effect can appear on the enemy model.
Possibly add the aforementioned blackening effect to Rodgort.
Give better notable and unique sound effects when the Howler is “blown” rather than its current somewhat muffled howling noise.
It might just be me, but the Juggernaut’s footfalls (or “drops”) like very much like pigeon crap. If they were made reflective and just shinier I’d appreciate it. Aside from that, it’s great.
When dual-wielding different Legendaries with footfalls (such as a Necromancer with Frostfang and Rodgort), have the side of the Legendary leave a footfall from that foot. So the right foot would leave the frozen footfall and the left foot would leave the fire footfall.

Underwater weapons… yeah…

Quick thought, does Rodgort turn blue when used by a Guardian?

Oh my god. Anet plzzzz this plzzzzzzzzzzz

Necromancers can’t use torches (Rodgort). Just sayin’

On the other hand, I really like the right foot frozen footfall and the left foot firefall idea. Or even if they stack on top of each other, it wold look weird but still nice.

Surprise surprise, nothing mentioned about improving the minstrel/meteorlogicus from the patchnotes. How annoying.

Not a surprise at all, lol

Since they are not willing to update (fix! rather) my Legendary (Meteorlogicus), can I, please, have my mats back so that I craft something else? What is really annoying now is the time I wasted to send messages to them all this time. Thanks for nothing and yes you can remove my message since nothing has or will be done.

lol are you serious?

Why did you make it then? You knew what the sceptre would look like. They didn’t remove anything.

I guess he gave too much credit to Anet development, adding something cool to his beloved weapon maybe later, discovering noone gives a kitten of it nor planning to improve his weapon lol I bet he was PRETTY SURE about it haha
I’m still surprised some weapons got some tiny effects, go figure.
You know why? Because they are “out of design”. Basically add an effect means spit on the face of the creator of this weapon, telling him he’s just an idiot who made something the community didn’t want. Exactly what happened, all of them are on his way a fail or bugged (some now fixed) except the 2h sword (even eternity was bugged haha ) lol
Let’s not mention the best legendary fail of the history: Minstrel

For Flameseeker, I’d suggest that whenever a shield skill is activated that has the animation of “bashing” or something, pages fly all over the place. Like… war skill 5, eng skill 4, guard skill 5. I think these are the only classes capable of wielding a shield.

At least allow The Dreamer to revert back to the pure rainbow, then give it footprints, but I expect none of this, so just ignore me ;D

Incinerator needs an aura. The little flame thing on the arm isn’t enough IMHO.

Unless kiddos you are working for ANET, save your comments for your kiddo-friends. I am addressing them, so… “lol” and get back to school or you will be unemployed for years to come and then achievement points won’t give you food to eat.

rainbow puddle footprints for the dreamer would make me a very happy!

Now I know you worked your little butts off to get these boys and girls (as well as getting very lucky) but these sorts of complaints have a touch of spoilt brat to them.

Most of us want shinier footsteps so that we can increase the processor load on our teammates in WvW, but please remember 99% still need to get their legendary first..

Dear Anet, give some love to The Minstrel, quite annoying fail on the design atm, prolly the less appealing among legendaries, but it’s still one of them after all!
Make it shine!

I don’t understand how they are able to make dredge gongs and mesmer underwater trident autoattack look so much better than the minstrel effects.

i would like to see effects implemented in the skills of each profession. for example, when a thief uses dagger storm while using incinerator, the aura around him/her should be fiery and have flames and incinerators being thrown. or even (my personal favorite) the skill where the Mesmer slams their greatsword into the ground, if the player is using twilight, the ground around the greatsword blade can turn into the effect of twilight (the effect on the blade) and have twilight pop up on the other side.

I love my Kudzu. I would do anything for the bow, footfalls and birdsong to change with the seasons, but I can wait until meteorlogicus gets an update : )

Meteorlogicus and The Minstrel are so poor.. why? :/

I’d make all legendary weapons used by the engineer have some sort of noticeable and worth while effect on all engineer kits. It still bothers me that legendary weapons are completely worthless to engineers.

More unique skill animations

Get the dreamer updated with rainbow footprints. Every legendary should have footprints so any that doesn’t get it updated ANET

Legendary Armor
Makes you look like a Care Bear & when you shoot The Dreamer it comes from your stomach.

Click for Example

Legendary weapons should give permanent buffs. Perma vigor or swiftness for example..

There are others way worse but I would love the Rodgort upgraded.

The footsteps are awesome but so frickin tiny and last 2 seconds.

The torch unwinds and creates a big blast of flame when you switch weps which is cool, and the fire blast gets slightly bigger when you attack, but its barely pronounced.

Something like noticeable embers in the air, engulfing the user in flames, or fire spilling everywhere when you auto will be awesome. Its a shame that the 2h weps get so much more love considering how similar the recipes for 1h and 2h are.
