Guild Wars 2

With the addition of the new legendaries(backs, armor and weapons), can said legendaries(old and new) have flavor text added to them please?

It baffles me that ascended items have flavor text but legendaries have no such thing, even though they are much rarer and are LEGENDARIES which according to the dictionary should have a story or at least something behind their so called “LEGEND”

tl;dr: please add flavor text to legendaries.

Yes please!

And if its LEGENDARY because you will make that weapon a legend???
Yea, i know, just blew your minds now.
And yet, didnt weself forged those weapons? How can they have any history?

You know what would be awesome? since you crafted the legendary yourself?

If you got to type in the flavor text.

Probably not worth it from a database management standpoint. I mean, you’d have to treat each legendary as a unique item ID, and that’s not how the GW2 item database is set up since there aren’t any custom attribute crafting systems, but it would be super cool.

You didn’t really forge it, though. You threw a bunch of gifts into the mystic forge and Zommoros gave you a legendary weapon in exchange.

I do not have any legendary weapons, so this suggestion does not really affect me much. But that does not stop this being a good idea, get on it Arena Net!

I agree with what you are saying. The only legendary that “should” have flavour text is The Flameseeker Prophecies. After.it it is an event from the past. Something players of GW1 can tie the weapon too. The others don’t have any story to them. No background. How can the be weapons of legend when no one knows why they are considered a legendary weapon.

If they add Flavor text to them we will get an inkling of their legends
