Guild Wars 2

WARNING: LEGENDARY SPOILERS BELOW.

I’ve seen some previews of the legendaries and have an idea of what they are going to look like. But I was curious if they actually do anything different cosmetically. For example, I’m planning on going for the sword Bolt, but all I know about it is in the preview window with the small lightning emitting from it.

Can you confirm if there’s going to be something more to it then just their passive state? Like for example, when I swing the sword Bolt, would maybe cosmetic lightning shoot everywhere or would it make a cool electric kind of swinging sound? I know there was a Dev video detailing some of the legendaries like the Unicorn bow and the hammer but was wondering if other legendaries had cool effects like that that go beyond just their passive state.

Thanks for any response and thanks for such an awesome game!

LEGENDARY SPOILERS!

Twilight and Sunrise video (youtube).

So yeah, there are extra special effects for some of the weapons. Not sure about your sword though :(

Yeah, I had seen that video but thanks for linking. My only worry is with it being a one handed sword it the effects might seem.. underwelming? Compared to a 2handed sword.
That is if it was just a sword passively emitting a little lightning around it, which there are already some exotics that do just that.

I mainly wanted to hear from Arenanet so that those of us who are already beginning work on creating these can have a bit of an easier time picking which one we’re going to attempt to craft, especially with the amount of time it takes to gather the materials.

Perhaps release official videos of the legendaries?
