Guild Wars 2

My main complaint/suggestion is that the legendary shield, The Flameseeker Prophecies, has no footfall. (nothing to trail as you walk).

I’m suggesting maybe some Krytan letters etched in the ground in bright blue, not even anything too fancy. Just a little more incentive to make it because it also doesn’t have an aura; which can be overlooked seeing as the aura around the shield is massive.

I am aware that there are other legendary weapons that do not have a footfall as well. (Off the top of my head Minstrel, and Howler.) So don’t think I JUST want this one upgraded. :P

Just a suggestion to give the weapon some more love and incentive. (Seeing as it is the only legendary with actual lore from GW in it) ;]

Howler has footfalls

Howler has footfalls

Oh thank you! I wasn’t aware it was changed. Last time I saw the weapon I didn’t think it did.

Please please please please please please please.

It’s hard to notice :p

Would love to see it added! especially the concept of the letters
would also love for Dreamer & Kudzu to acquire an aura.

Official response on the shield is that it won’t be getting any improvements, because it is already at peak aesthetic perfection.

If you add footfalls or an aura to this truly epic shield, it will look like, and become, a toy piece of crap like quip or dreamer. What once was epic, will become garbage.

Not every skin in the game needs to be a toy piece of candy crap.

Not everyone wants every skin to be a toy piece of candy crap. If it is toy candy crap you are after, plenty of skins already exist to fulfil this.

Can you link to the post or official word of them saying that? Just curious.

Don’t you DARE add cheesy footprints (some sort of liquid is leaking down my pants leg!) or dirty clouds of smog to the ONE Legendary that has some class! How less Legendary would it be if it were suddenly just like all the others? More Legendaries need the Flameseeker Prophecies’ brilliant sheen (for the “good guys”) and we need some really wicked-looking ones for the less-than-nice guys. Enough of the “silly” weapons and Vegas light shows, already.

ANet desperately needs to use some IMAGINATION on future Legendaries so that they do NOT all have the same old effects. Special SOUNDS when first drawn could be cool effects that announce the presence of a Legendary weapon (rumbling thunder, cracks of lightning, beastly tie-fighter-like screeches, a heartbeat, a heavenly chorus, etc.)

I’ve decided not to get a Predator just because of the exploding feet thing.

Only if it’s like Howler’s but a golden light rather than a footprint. Otherwise no thanks, leave my Shield alone.

Please for the love of Glint, not every single thing in the game needs poo prints!

I made this legendary because it didn’t have all the stupid footprints. I have more then enough currently to make a second or even a third. However since all the other “legendarily weapons” look like toys from Toy R’ Us I haven’t. I will wait until Anet makes something desirable.

I don’t need the one skin I liked and put money in already to make changed, Thank you very much.

I can forgive the footprints because I get WAY too much enjoyment from the awesome sound.

I wouldn’t say it’s unique because it doesn’t have one. It just means it’s the one left out of having one. I understand that it may or may not make them feel like “Toys R Us” toys. And regardless of that statement being subjective to opinion; If they thought it was, they wouldn’t have added it to most of the legendaries. To me it feels like at this point, it’s a request for equality. They added it to most, so I believe all should have it.

Think of the situation in another perspective. Most people probably see it unfit that the GS users can combine two to create Eternity, (even if some of the effects are broken). That in itself is inequality. I’m simply wanting the same for the shield, in terms of just a simple footfall.

I mentioned I didn’t want it to be too harsh or flashy, simple krytan letters, etched in the ground that light up blue will suffice. No hardcore spilling milk/oil. (Looking at you GS users). Just because I know people have poured money into it. (Like myself). I’ve also made Kamohoali’i and Twilight. So I appreciate a good footfall/aura.

Subjectivity aside.

It is not hard to know which legendarily weapons have which effects before the weapon is made. If someone makes one without doing research on it, that is on them.

I chose this one because I liked it the way it is. It took my time and my money to make it. We don’t need this changed now, so long after many of us made it, when the fact there were no flashy effects was a major factor.

The Flameseeker is perfect. Just as Anet said it was months ago when they put out the new legendary weapon effects. I expect it to stay this way.

Peace.
