Guild Wars 2

I don’t know if any devs will read this or not, but I for one would LOVE a few new legendaries to be added to the game. We have 3 epic greatswords, but only one of everything else.

A much more… not flowery or rainbow longbow would be so cool. A ‘darker’ longbow, sword… everything!

Please, oh please, Anet, create us some more ‘metal!’ legendaries!

Don’t worry there WILL be new legendary weapons in 2013!

oh wait…

I would love new legendaries.
Up to this point, I wasn’t really interested in gathering the materials and gold for one in a serious way, except for the Kraitkin which I really really REALLY wanted.
The thing is, most of them seem goofy and out of place. Kudzu is fine, by no means a design I would die to have, the Hammer and the Flameseeker Prophecy are pretty cool (though I think that Flameseeker would be the perfect shield for Guard, but the constant virtues and aegis ruin the whole thing), the Horn and the Torch also meet my taste. But the others, dear lord. Moot looks like garbage, the pistols are just pathetic, the Dreamer is just… I don’t know I like the Idea but… the swords makes me wanna vomit, and I know that I’m probably alone on this, I really can’t stand the designs of neither of the great swords, don’t get me started on the harpoon-gun. the axe is like… what the hell. I am really very very hard to satisfy in this regard, but I’m an aesthetics player and I especially like it when stuff fits with the lore, and as a hardcore GW1 Player I would love some designs that actually had something to do with the first game.
Sure, there aren’t that many iconic weapons from GW1 that could be used, but at least the few that are there would be nice. Shiro’s Blades as daggers for example. Or the Scepter of Orr. Then there’s the Spear of Archemorus, and last but not least, the Vampiric Dragon Sword.

So sorry about the rant but I really hate the bubbly plastic and glitter super colourful legendaries. I don’t want to offend anyone who likes these designs, but I would prefer some more lore-friendly legendaries.

I am happy to support everything you say….except about The Moot

Disco is Life!

They were planning on adding new legendaries starting with the less serious ones. Then they talked about adding other legendary items first, likely starting with accessories. I wouldn’t doubt if that Halloween glow items were an experiment. The “raven staff” that was found on the test server a while back was thought to be one of the new legendaries. When they do implement them, they will likely be obtained in a much different way and implement the quest/scavenging hunt that was talked about over the years.

That would be kinda fun! I wonder if they’re running a trial with the Mawdrey backpiece…. Pain in the rump yet fun to quest around for all the items needed.

I completely agree with you about the ZOMG COLOR legendaries. The legendaries should be EPIC, and have a bit more flavor variety of types. Lore-friendly would be really cool. I didn’t play much of GW1 but I do like all the books you can read about in the game, little nods here and there to it. How rad would it be to bring some back, or a next gen type setting?

I want Obsidian Edge to return as the new legendary greatsword or 1h sword. We need more “earth”-type weapons, besides cragstone.

Aside from that, I really would like pistol and shortbow legendaries that aren’t joke weapons. Also, Mace.

At the same time, I want a rifle that shoots chickens.

I would like to see new legendary weapons added as well. +1

More choice is always better. Personally, I love my necro but cannot find any legendary weapons that look even remotely good or appropriate for her. Sad. Very sad.

The one thing that has been made clear is that they will NOT be adding new content to the game in terms of items. Skins only. Most of which are only going to be available from the store as DLC.

They have been repeatedly saying that the games primary focus would be skins only, which is exactly what carapace armor is. There is nothing different about it over any other exotic armor you can buy at the auction or from the dungeon vendor other then the skin, which is bad for the most part anyway, luminescence armor being carapace armor with a horrific sky blue dye which is absolutely hideous. I made an exact copy of the luminescence armor with my carapace armor pieces just by adding dye to all the available color slots. lol

Well my point was it aint all in the gem store as your first point stated bud, the items you buy in gem stor is just skins aswell

Edit
Sinister weapon and armor recipies are added new stats for pve not in the gem store

So when you say “that they will NOT be adding new content to the game in terms of items.” you’re actually saying… what exactly? That they won’t add any new stat combinations to items? Well that can’t be true because of sinister, nomads, and celestial. That they won’t be adding new items (new weapons, maybe a cape slot), well fair but nobody’s asking for that either.
The way I interpreted what you said was that they were done adding new items, but then according to you the carapace gear/luminescent are just skins even though they have a gear equivalent (the rare you get from the box). Well new legendaries would also just be new skins, just difficult skins to acquire that can change their stat combination the same as current legendaries.
Side comment: They wouldn’t add new legendaries to the gem store, because they make way more money selling the gems/gold to buy them off the TP.

An art contest to decide the skins would be fantastic…

Tried that last year, there was like a 150 page thread about armor designs. Fruitless, as usual. People posted some fantastic stuff in that thread.

Agree! I would like to fill as LEGENDARY, not gay …

After seeing all the legendaries, both in preview and on other characters I must agree.

The problem as I see it is that some of the designs may suit your character but you are stuck with the footprints/glow and special effects of the model. I personally would love to see a model system introduced that allows us to “personalize” the glow/footprints and effects of your own legendary. It is after-all your legend you are trying to convey, why must we be stuck with what that particular designer thought of as legendary.

Either way adding a few more options IMO wouldn’t be a bad thing after 2 years.
