Guild Wars 2

- we know Eternity is combined by Twilight + Sunrise, and the recipe for it is :
Eternity = Twilight + Sunrise + Gift of Mastery + Gift of Fortune
- Eternity only give us 1 more effect that its changing into Twilight or Sunrise depend on the night/day.So finally its required alot of farm and gold ( just say the cost of 2 gifts ) and you cant freely control the skin(twilight or sunrise) you want to see anymore, and intead u take 2 gifts for eternity, u can save them for another legend wep, its worth than u make eternity.
-if Eternity can give us something to make its worth, i think its good, not just like combine 2 legendary into 1 and no more good effect.
So how do u think about it ?

Ego.

That is all.

Edit: It kittinized the internet term for the word Ego…

Yes. I think. Maybe when everybody and their grandmother is wearing a twilight/sunrise, you’d probably want some variety :p

Sure if u want to give up 400 hours of your life to farming for a skin with red letters in the description.

There’s no game-related reason to make a Legendary weapon in the first place, it’s got the same stats as an exotic weapon that is much, much cheaper and easier to get. You craft it because you accept the challenge of gathering the materials to do it, or because you want to show off the fancy animations that come with it.

The same reasons apply to getting two of them and crafting the Legend of Legends. If you need to be convinced to make it, then don’t.

Eternity shouldn’t even exist, neither should one of either Sunrise or Twilight – it is completely unfair that there are 3 greatsword legendaries and only 1 of each of the other types of weapon. ANet need to either increase the legendaries for other weapons or remove 2 of the 3 greatsword legendaries from the game.

maybe it’s their strat to push for more people going warrior/guardian/mesmer/ranger?

I am working towards Eternity,it will take me years and that is fine.

Eternity only give us 1 more effect that its changing into Twilight or Sunrise depend on the night/day.

Source? So far all I’ve heard are players saying this. No, the wiki doesn’t count.

Anet showed it by video in " My Legend Grows! " post or am i wrong ?

@penatbater
So what if they do want more people to go warrior/guardian/mesmer/ranger – it doesn’t make greatsword special.

Any warrior using greatsword is nerfing themselves – I ran tests with dual weapons vs greatsword and do more damage with dual weapons due to the extra sigil.

If Anet are going to provide more than 1 legendary for 1 type of weapon, they should do it for all types of weapons or it simply isn’t fair – there is no argument against that.

I’m not sure I understand what the point of that is exactly.

If the ONLY thing it does it change from one sword to the other during day/night, why not just keep them and rotate whenever you want? Oo

You’re completely missing the point if you have to ask if it is worth it. The point is that it was put in the game to be something cool (i.e., shiny carrot on a stick) for the people that want it. It has nothing to do with need or being “worth” it in terms of stat increases. If you’re thinking in terms of “worth” or “need” then you need to go skipping elsewhere in game because legendary weapons aren’t for you.

I will have Eternity. It might take me years, and I am perfectly fine with that. I may also go for Rodgort and Meteorlogicus while I’m at it.

It’s just a nice and (very) long-term goal to work towards instead of sitting around and saying you have nothing to spend your money on. It’s also good for the economy.

Too be honest I’m still doing perfectly well in yellows let alone exotics so legendary no cant be kittened

the way I see it LOL you already have the 2 swords, you can manually change when you feel like it

Not worth it for me (yet), i have my tier 3 Asura Greatsword exoticed up with the stats i want.

Asura looking sword? – check, Glowing effects? – check, Lightning on the weapon? – check, me happy? – that’s a big CHECK!.

Sure i’ll go for one at some point, but my weapon looks COOL now .

any chances that it will be improve ? some players are waiting for it including me

Remember how that old Altered Beast game used to start?

Rise from your grave!

I believe Eternity haven’t got any footstep effect.

Actually the recipe is different and much much “cheaper”:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eternity

As for the GS, I’m working towards Twilight now while owning Sunrise, I should finish it in a week or so. But I do not plan to mix both swords for much lesser effect.

As matter of fact I think it is even more kitten to keep rotating between them, since I do not see any sense in the game dictating me when I should display the effects I wish to show, while on top of it losing the footsteps for some odd reason.

And of course, I will live in hope (though I don’t mind that much) that Anet will fix Eternity’s effects. Yes… they need a fix, this is not Eternity, this is 2 legendaries mishmash.

Nice necro. Interesting to see that people didn’t mind having a little whinge just a few months after the games release. Do you think these guys still play the game?

You play a necromancer don’t you?

100blades > any sigil

I know this is bringing an old post “back from the dead”, but I actually found it very helpful, and others trying to make this decision may as well. I’ve been playing GW2 for about three years now and I’m finally looking into creating a Legendary for just that reason…. a fun goal to gain some sparkly effects. My main is a Mesmer and she already has an ascended greatsword, so it’s not about the stats, it’s about the challenge…. ‘Life is a journey, not a destination.’ – RWE

Gaile Gray.6029:

I don’t need my Legendaries. I can play just fine with some well-chosen exotics. The thing is, though, I want my Legendaries, and I don’t regret the time, effort, or expense involved in acquiring them.

My infinite light/gold fractal sword (winter’s presence) mesmer agrees with this post

My Kudzu is the most beautiful thing that’s ever existed in any game in my opinion. My Asuran can make beautiful flower gardens just spinning around in circles and I spend an embarrassing amount of time doing just that. (For some reason, it doesn’t work on my other characters) I think Legendaries are worth the effort.

Disclaimer: A very dear friend made mine for me and he says he was happy for the experience of making it even though he gave it away.

I don’t hv eternity but I can say it’s worth it!! You get to unlock all three skins one of best gs skins

Quick question… 3 years ago did two handed weapons only have one upgrade slot? just saying he dual wields so that he can get two sigils but as it has been as long as I remember two handed weapons get two upgrade slots, and two infusion slots if hey are ascended or legendary.
I dual wield with my main warrior as well, axe/mace… Frostfang/Eureka.

As for legendary greatswords. I am actually working on making Twilight justnow. Not sure if I’ll ever make Eternity, or even if I’ll ever make Sunrise. I’ll probably give Twilight to my PS warrior but making it because I love The Battle of Champion’s Dusk. Since the title Dusk’s Champion was made, well the precursor for Twilight being Dusk, what better sword to go with that title? Maybe i another Stronghold arena was added that awarded the title “Dawn’s Champion” I’d start working on making Sunrise as well. Whether I’d put them together for Eternity, I don’t know.

Yes, for a good while after launch, two-handed weapons only had one upgrade slot.

Eternity was worth it to me.

I made Sunrise, then bought Twilight, combined them and sold Eternity. Two unlocked legendary skins and a pile of cash.

Definitely worth it, although not in the way the OP intended, all those years ago.

I don’t have a legendary yet but I think that the Legendary greatsword skins are the best weapon effects in the game. It is too bad that Anet didn’t give the rest of the Legendary weapons effects as nice.

Honestly out of all my legendaries Eternity is by far my favourite. I would love if it had more unique colours than it currently does but otherwise it’s the…greatest sword.

I’ll see myself out.

Glad to see I’m not the only one who does this . My asura rangers love to stand hip-deep in their own flower gardens. My charr ranger is the only one refusing to use that skin. And to top it all off, the precursor crafting for this one was a ton of fun, too. I still carry around all of the flowers I had to collect for it.

I made Twilight, made Sunrise, made and sold Eternity made Bifrost and Incinerator with the cash.

If you make and sell Twilight and Sunrise and then buy Eternity, not only do you get all 3 skins, you’ll also make about 2k gold profit.

Atleast, that was the case when i did it several months ago.

I have Eternity (Sunrise/Twilight), Kudzu, Frostfang, Kraitkin, Astralaria and Nevermore. The luxury to change stats is nice though remember you have to change sigils, too. I end up making an ascended anyway. I especially liked the journey to make Astralaria and Nevermore. I don’t play a lot now, but probably in the future I’ll make another one.

When you sell twilight and sunrise that means you don’t unlock them though so how did you end up with all three skins? When you forge eternity you unlock twilight and sunrise but unlocking eternity doesnt unlock its precursor skins. I sold eternity because I think it’s ugly I ended up with two legendaries (bifrost and incinerator) instead and two great greatsword skins that I apply to ascended weapons.

I have Sunrise, but not Eternity. But even if I have Twilight, I don’t know if I will make Eternity. Something to consider, if you get Eternity you will have 1 legendary gs instead of 2. With legendary you can change states, and it also guarantees the best stats forever. Since everyone’s got ascended, I wouldn’t be surprised if Anet decided to add another tier in the future. If that happens you have 1 less gs to grind to get the best tier.

Everyone does not have ascended, just everyone who’s been playing nonstop since the beginning. I’m still working on ascended weapons, ankitten owhere near having even one piece of ascended armor, with about 600 hours played.

Don’t you get 6 skins with eternity anyway? So why not I guess. I think the GS is the most iconic weapon next to the staff for MMORPGS. They made eternity look even better, I think both Sunlight and Twilight are gorgeous too.

IMO Absolutely Not.
I fail to see why anyone would take a perfectly good Twilight and turn it into a Melted Creamsicle. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess, but I would rather have a Twilight.

I would totally make a legendary that required two legendaries if it was a giant creamsicle…

But over all yes. It’s worth it if you like the skin, I wouldn’t suggested it if you don’t or just want something for bragging points.

I have made eight legendary weapons, the first one I made I sold and invested in character slots, which at the time was a good deal.
Kind of sick of this grindy korean mmo thing.
And it looks like I’m not the only one.

Players can change the stats on a Legendary weapon freely, on the fly, without items, mystic forging or crafting. That’s a unique attribute.

Also they’re equal to ascended weapons, not exotics.

They used to be the same as exotics then ascended were introduced and anet boosted the legendaries. Coz legendaries are meant to be the best weapons in the game fullstop.

What I meant by that an ascended that you can change stats on freely is obviously better than an ascended.

Fremtid.3528:

Also prettier, in general. They are not mechanically better in any other way, though, if you are following along at home. So other than being less expensive to change stats on than ascended stuff, and prettier, you don’t technically need them.

Though, practically, how can you live without a shortbow that shoots rainbow unicorns at your enemies!

The two skins that Eternity is made of (the upgraded Twilight and the upgraded Sunrise) are super cool!!! The originals just look pale compared to the Eternity versions.

BUT!!!!! Since it keeps switching all the time it really dempens my enjoyment
My Charr looks sooo kitten when at night (with the night version of Eternity) but
with the rise of the sun he looks so…. off

I really wish we could use the two Eternity versions seperatly
