Guild Wars 2

Can you give us more than “this year” or show us some arts of the next bunch of legendaries? There are enough of the release versions running around now. Not everyone is fond of ascended weapons. Please give us some teasers…

Well I expect them to be released within the next 3 months. I hope that clarified it somewhat.

I would hope they release legendary Armor first |:

I was under the impression the next round of Legendaries will be accessories or back items?
I am almost sure Colin said something like that during the PAX interview

Somewhat correct.

Legendary items are coming back before the end of the year, but they won’t be weapons or armors (although ascended armor will be coming)

Colin instead confirmed that it would be an accessory, which includes rings/earrings/amulet/backpiece. However, he also said that it would be one at a time. So we won’t get, say, a legendary ring AND amulet. It will only be one of ring/ammy/ear/back.

Before making any new legendaries :

- Priority #1 : Fix the current ones , My Sunrise and Rodgort aura bug sometime or persist if i swap weapon , No need to mention that Rodgort like others didn’t get the promised footfall update .

- Priority #2 : implement the precursor crafting system …

then , and only then .. make new legendaries …

I wonder if these Legendary “accessories” will involve a grind similar to what is required for Legendary weapons? If so, that would be insanity. Imagine going through all that to get…an earring….

I dunno…I hate to be negative but I kind of have a bad feeling about their plan. The ascended items already involve (IMHO) a pretty insane grind (because of the required fragments)…more so than many people will be willing to do.

With the number of available Legendary/Ascended items only increasing…by vast numbers….how can the game help but become an endless gold/material grind as people strive to acquire competitive gear?

Legendary items used to be only skins….not true anymore.

Colin said in his preview what to expect in 2013:

We aren’t quite ready to go into all the details here, but what I can say is you will see a specific way to build precursor items on your way to a legendary. On top of this, you’ll also see new legendary weapons and new types of legendary gear in 2013. Building your precursor will require a large amount of the new crafting material rewards listed above, 500 in crafting, and likely a combination of other items earned for completing more specific content in the game.

He told in an interview, that the new legendary gear might be a back item and/or some juwel stuff. But this was about the additonal gear, not about the weapons.

Whatever they do, i hope its not a massive grind..

What’s the matter? Not enough grind for you OP?

Have some cheese man, it will go well with your whine

Dangle dat carrot!

Scoobaniec.9561:

Why would you think new legendary items would require any less effort to get than any current legendary items?

You’re just setting yourself up for disappointment.

Dark Catalyst.1028:

Not enough skins I do like. Most current legendaries look like toys from some kids school. I just hope we will get some weapons in a more medieval or serious style. And after all, the more options the better. Always.

If you don’t like to do a legendary, don’t do it. I don’t like to grind ascended crafting, don’t do it. Nobody needs this stuff.

Actually, regarding the “need” part… uh whatever, why bother

Bc its a kitten trinket not a weapon, if its takes the same amount of stuff like weapon does i cannot imagine anyone doing that, well maybe braindead hardcore bots but they doesnt count

Obviously I don’t think it will take the same amount of effort to make a single legendary trinket but I think the effort will be comparable compared to exotic or ascended.

Legendary trinkets??? We don’t have “visible” accessories so I don’t know how that’s going to work.
Back items are the only viable option but it’s more a piece of armor than a trinket.

Anyways, I think they probably release legendary items in the same way they had released other armor pieces (head, shoulders, hands and back item). After all, it’s easy to make several head armor with the same appearance for all classes than make several armors for light, medium and heavy armor.

They’ll give your character some sort of aura or something. All we know right now is that anet has said a new type of legendary item that isn’t armor is coming in 2013. Most people are assuming it will be trinkets.

They mentioned that at the same time they said we’ll be able to make our own precursor weapons in 2013, too.

I hope they are cool-looking. Don’t like the looks of the current legendaries enough to grind one out. This may sound like sour grapes, but the effects/animations are more distracting for me than anything else. Howler was at the top of the list before I found out about the irritating noises it makes. The ascended weapons on the other hand are gorgeous, and the only really painful part is leveling crafting to 500. So I made two, and will make more as I get the mats. I’d rather have full ascended weapons than one legendary + exotics…

I think you can safely say the new legendaries will push the flashiness to a whole new level. That seems to be the trend anyway.

“How can we make this more epic?”
“MORE SPARKLES”

I am thinking they will have the ability to change stats out of combat like the legendary weapons. That would be great with regards to changing builds and gear. Right now, if you want to play different builds you have to carry a million armor and trinket pieces with you.

The PAX interview which Vol is taking his clarification from came after the blog post. The PAX clarification is the most ‘up to date’ word we’ve had from Colin regarding legendaries coming this year.

Oh yeah concepts would be a nice teaser….

I can’t imagine we’re going to get new Legendary weapons anytime soon. Just look how long it took them to fix the existing ones, then extrapolate that to making an entirely new weapon for each weapon type. It’s probably going to be a while before we get anything new on this front (the weapons), though I could be wrong.

Well unless anet is lieing to use they said we’ll definitely be getting new weapons in 2013.
