Guild Wars 2

I know a lot of people transmutate their legendaries, prob atleast half the people who have them. I wonder if a transmutated legendary will get the update. Some people expected to have to transmutate again for ascended, but didn’t expect to see an update feature, where you could change stats when ever out of combat.

In the post the dev mentions this is a nice feature so people wont have to transmutate their legendary weapons, so they obviously know its a big issue, yet no mention if transmutated weapons will be updated as well. Kinda scary since they still never fixed the issue with a transmutated twilight/sunrise from creating eternity. I am sure the programing could be done if they really wanted to.

I guess we will see if the devs care, or there will probably be rage on the forums.

Colins blog details that Legendaries will only not get their stats upgraded, but they will receive customizable and switchable stats, so that you will never have to transmute your legendary again.

I doubt they’ll only upgrade the ones that aren’t transmuted. Even if they did decide to do that at first, once the change was implemented anyone who transmuted a legendary would be on the forums ranting.

I don’t think so, and i don’t hope so. Transmuting should be a choice and a risk you do. If Anet did change everything it wouldnt be fun. I would be like: “OH im just gonna destroy my legendary, because Anet will bring it back later”… Thats not how it works. Your choices is your choices and it will have consequenses

Also, i don’t get why people transmute their legendary… If you have full zerk armour + trinkets ONE WEAPONS doesnt matter that much… if zerkers really can’t stand having PVT why do they even go for a legendary?

One weapon will reduce your damage. The purpose if going all Beserker is to do maximum damage. Having Defensive Stats works against that, and reduces your damage. It wouldn’t be a lot, but every bit counts.

I chose to go for a legendary because I like the looks of it + Perma BiS

the precision lost out on a 1hand weapon is 3% crit chance, thats like 200 effective power alone, not to mention the 5 crit damage which is another 75-100 effective power.
Then you have 2h weapons which is 6% crit chance and 9 crit damage, a rather large amount of effective power as well.

Also from someone like me who has put in the effort to make 4 nearly 5 legendaries I would like the same ability to swap on the fly, you know since mine cost just as much as someone who didn’t transmute.

This.

The whole “you transmuted at your own risk” argument is filled with so much ignorance and is just a slap in the face.

That being said, an anet member on my server said that they’re probably going to reset/upgrade all legendary weapons, including transmuted ones. I just hope they make them account bound on use at the same time.

That’s the stupidest kitten I’ve read in a long time. You do realize there are a lot of people who made legendary weapons PRIOR to the introduction of ascended gear, right? This “risk” you speak of didn’t exist for them. They had no way of knowing transmuting it would become a problem later on down the line. You think people should be punished for taking the only available route to solve a problem with the functionality of legendary weapons, a problem that never should have existed in the first place? Fail.

Lol… Its called THINKING FORWARD… I knew this was going to happen, even before ascended items came out. Unless you are very stupid, you would know legendary would always be top tier and if transmuted it would get the coding to the weapon you transmute it to.

I made legendary few months ago..Even when i don’t like ptv and its does not fit my build i dindt trasmuted it cause i knew its will get changed. If u trasmuted its ur problem.

Trasmuting: 2 items combined into new one

It wouldn’t hurt anyone if the transmuted weapons would get updated too though, would it?

It would kind of be unfair for the people that DID NOT transmute it. They might have ran around with wrong stats on the weapon the whole time when they could have had the right stats. so… It is unfair

You basically have no arguement then? Sweet.

The only reason you want transmuted legendarys to not get upgraded is because you want to see the people who did transmute them to get punished? Your opinion is sad.

We all spent 400 or so hours to obtain a legendary didn’t we? I think people who transmuted their legendarys and people who didn’t transmute them got cheated. We ALL got cheated!

^pretty much this. You seem to be a person who is very bitter.

I have 5 legendary weapons. Do you know how many of them I transmuted? ZERO. I won’t bother me one kittening bit if you get your wish. I saw this coming as well, but other people didn’t. And that’s the point. It just astounds me that you as*holes want people to get kittened over, and for what? So you can have some smug sense of validation and say “I told you so”?

Just look at all the pretty exotics, tell me you like the stats on most of them? Many have horrible stats or has magic find in it, its SUPPOSE to be transmuted. Example, Infinite Light, it just screams to be transmuted Pow/Prec/MF on a “legendary”. I believe Anet knew what they were thinking when they made many of the good looking weapons including Legendaries because they want people to work towards them, then use a transmutation crystal (Gem Store) to desired stats.

They just happened to give Legendaries Soldier stats and the precursors Berserker stats to be consistant IMO.

Pls tell me you aren’t for real, and that you’re only a figment of imagination of the rest of us here.
