Guild Wars 2

well it should take some time but it should not contain grind?!?
at least a bit grind should be in there.. not THAT MUCH however..

When I say not much grind, I mean it shouldn’t require you to farm very much but should require you to do stuff like The Queens Gauntlet. Liadri on steroids would warrant a precursor imo. Jumping puzzles with rewards geared towards legendaries would be good too.

Great post Yalora! +1 The rest of the quest for the Legendary involves playing a portion of the game for quite some time. I agree with the ‘before discussed’ method of getting a ticket for every 1000 attempts at the Mystic Forge – at least then you would be guaranteed a precursor if you hadn’t already gotten on the lucky side of 0.02%.

Precursor for:
100% World map + Level 49 FOTM + 100 WvW Ranks + Dungeon Master

Sounds reasonable enough. Obtain a legendary precursor by playing the game.

Yalora has:

• 100% World map complete
• Level 0 FOTM
• 0 WvW Ranks
• 0% Dungeon Master

Yalora is not allowed to have a Precursor. /sob

However…

Yalora has

• been playing since Beta
• has 11,126 Achievement points
• has played 3,500+ hours to date
• has fun every day

I thought I was playing the game but it seems that now I can’t have a Precursor cause I have been playing the game WRONG all this time. Why didn’t one of you guys tell me? /sob

Maybe instead of all those things, they should be one of those things.

100% World Map or Level 49 FOTM or 100 WvW Ranks or Dungeon Master and include the current ways of getting them.

Two of those would be a one time thing, one of those would be renewable via a new character and make the WvW rank one repeatable too. People could then play w.e they wanted and still get one one way or another.

I get that getting a legendary should be a rare or perhaps once in a life time event. In other words obtaining such an epic item should be, well epic. I love that.

I remember getting the baby moa chick in GW1. Not a quick and easy task. That was an epic pet that I was proud to show off. the beat part was you had to go on an adventure to get it. GW2 lacks that.

I wish that Legendaries were similar, in that you need to work for them. Not obtained by tossing rare items into a never ending waste basket, and then grinding for crafting items. ( Far form epic).

I do not have a Legendary, and not sure I really want one with the current system. I am have a much better experience with the Ascended items, and frankly some of the Legendary weapons are looking a little old.

Getting Moa chick in GW1 was not as hard as making Legendary. It took only 2 weeks to get mine, iirc. Legendary however……..

well, if legendaries really should live up to their name, yes, you seem to have ignored every somewhat harder piece of the game and hence should not get a precursor in a system that would reward achievements (not in an AP sense) over luck/time played.

I played this game for like 2000 hours, and barely have 10 gold :P.

Theres not even a Legendary I want, so no motivation. I use sword about 80% of the time, but I really prefer the super sword over bolt. Getting sunrise or the scwpter seems like such a waste to only use 10% of the time… I really hope they make new legendaries, or even use the same effects on all weapons. I wouldnt mind a sunrise sword ;D
