Guild Wars 2

Well… I have a Incinerator and it really doesn’t feel legendary… when I compare it to my Sunrise… well they are miles apart…
The biggest problem… it’s in no way unique… it has the same effects as rodgort, and that’s a real shame…. U can’t create legendary weapons and be so lazy to copy and paste the effects of a LEGENDARY weapon… that’s an absolute no go…

They need to change both incinerator and rodgort to make them unique and feel like they are unique…

This would be a Aura i’d like to see on incinerator, although I would tweak the flames to resenmble the colour of incinerator (At the botoom blue and on top orange)

No, the point is, i made Incinerator because I liked it, but when Anet promises an improvement to it, and they don’t do it, it’s rather disappointing. It could always be made better

They should just remove the swing effect, projectile effect and footsteps from twilight and sunrise, and leave the epic blade art. This way people would STOP COMPARING EVERYTHING TO THE GREATSWORDS. Leave the footsteps for eternity.

sheesh!

If only.

Unfortunately greatswords get all the love in this game. Most weapons will never come close.

it’s still better made than the minstrell…

I agree, incinerator footthrails could at least get its promised update.

This is one of the major problems with “legendary” items being aesthetic only, and only having ONE choice.

Incinerator could also use an a fiery aura much like the predator or similar the rest of the legendaries aswell. They could be alot more “legendary”.

Taking a blowtorch to your enemies…. yeah sure that’s not totally hardcore. /sarcasm

If you wanted twilight, why didn’t you make that instead? Leave incinerator as is.

I don’t understand why people make legendarys they don’t like? I made bolt, and I’ve almost finished howler. If I got ‘the legend’ to drop I’d sure as pie sell it like hotcakes because I think bifrost is stupid.

Make legendarys that appeal to you.

I never said I didn’t like Incinerator. I made it before because I liked it, but after the recent update, it has been really outshined by other legendaries. I don’t want to sound biased, since I also have Bolt which I feel is an amazing legendary that actually has a legendary feel. A lot of people complain about The Mintrel, but let’s not forget that it has gotten a major update itself. I just feel as though Incinerator has been left behind as a lesser legendary, if that makes sense, but to each his own of course. As many of the people here have stated, it’s just disappointing when you are promised an update and it doesn’t happen. Empty promises, y’know?

Heh, you know the funny thing is that even though I was comparing Incinerator to Twilight/Sunrise, I actually don’t like the greatswords. I love the effects, but the weapon itself is very…Meh.

Doon.2364:

I think they should slow down the animation of the flaming twirl that wraps around you when you wield the incinerator. That’s is the best part about the incinerator but you could barely see the effect before it vanishes. When the animation is slowed down dramatically, it really stand out. Watch this video to see what I mean:

I would also love for the flaming twirl to constantly appear around you when ur character is standing idle. That would be a great addition. I rather have that than bigger footprints.

I would like the flaming twirl effect when I have it equipped off-hand <3

I would also like to add the following tid bits on the Incinerator:

While equipped in the off hand slot, you do not recieve the “firey swirls” upon wileding the weapon.

While playing as the Norn or Charr, if the width of your gloves/gauntlets exceed a certain threshold (fused gauntlets), then the arm “aura” of the incinerator is completely covered by the huge gloves/gauntlets.

Feels like a skin you craft inside mystic toilet for ~50g

I would really love it if they A) made the fire go further up your arm added the fiery swirl on the off-hand C) Made the footsteps look more like fire and less like a splat of fiery material.

I don’t have Incinerator yet, but I’m planning to get it. Really hyped!

What I don’t like is that Incinerator has 2 types of footsteps. One of them, last about 0.5 seconds and is barely noticeable. I wish they’d just remove it and make all the footfalls last the same amount of time.

Wow, I didn’t know that. That sounds really bad on character models that are bulkier then =S

Still no reply from a dev :/ starting to lose hope in this being a mistake

Yeah. So basically all I have are the footprints, which are… well we all know what those are like.

so what are you looking for as far as changes to the incinerator?

-bigger longer lasting footfalls?

-some kind of fire aura?

-equipping it sets your whole character on fire (more funny than practical but would be cool fro some people)?

-some people like the effects incinerator has, some don’t; what would you change or do you like it as is?

Anything that would make it feel more like a legendary really. Maybe a small heat aura that emits from you while wielding it? Kinda like the aura that the greatswords emit (sorry to compare Incinerator to them again). Or the aura can be in the form of small sparks or tiny writhing flames floating about you. Or better footfalls. Maybe more flames coming out of the footprints so that it’s more prominent. It just feels sort of lacking, but that’s my opinion.

Anyways, I’d be happy to just get some news on the intended changes that were supposed to happen to Incinerator.

Artemis.6283:

Maybe they weren’t redy because they also wanted to give them a unique aura? =)
I’m all for it!

Haha, we can hope =b

Perhaps we’ll get some kind of response soon.

Can a dev respond and tell us what the so called change was?

Nev.5316:

I’ve sent in a bug report stating that Incinerator hasn’t been updated as it was promised. Just seeing if I can get a reply about it.

One can only hope.

Juggernaut vs Incinerator

Splash effect on attack vs Difiicult to see attack effects – Jugg wins
Changes armor color vs covers your arm with small fire – Jugg wins
Quicksilver Footsteps vs Fiery footsteps – Jugg got an update
Effects when sheathed – Incinerator turns off, jugg turns off, both fail.
The model design, incinerator wins due to excessive particles shown.

Honestly, incinerator model design is the only saving grace of the weapon. You can instantly recognize it if someone takes out that weapon, otherwise….

Completely agree with him, rodgort is pretty much on the same boat as well .

Blinding partical effects + footfalls + streaks of color all over the place = legendary, apparently

Whatever happened to legendary weapons being legendary because of 1) lore 2) a lot of work to acquire them (no, grinding 100’s of hours for gold or gems—>gold is not work) 3) awesome, unique designs that STAND ON THEIR OWN with maybe a little glow or effect.

It’s hilarious to listen to you people “but my legendary doesn’t have footfalls, whaaaaaa!!!”

Can we have a dev response regarding the so called changes that never happened?

Yeah I would say they look the same. I have Rodgort. Thought it was just me not paying attention before or something :P

Still no response! -.-

Rodgort was also supposed to get improved footsteps change according to patch notes but there was no changes at all.

Looks like they don’t care

Um, these are the two best looking legendaries out there. Bolt especially. That lightening effect that comes from the blade and goes out into all directions around your character…makes you look boss.

Not sure what more you want.

We were told we were getting an updated footfall effect. It was even in the patch notes. We just want confirmation if it was an error, or mistake on their part.

Have we heard anything from ArenaNet on this yet? this has been on the forums for a while now..

Actually no response yet , still hoping with the next close patches to get some light on the subject.. I mean we are all waiting for our announced cosmetic updates.

Bump to try and get a response from a dev.

All I want is an update. I’m still happy with my bolt, but I was looking forward to the footfall effects.

Well, hopefully there will be some sort of announcement soon. I’m sure anet wouldn’t want to have the image of a company that gives out empty promises.

Bumping for answers!

Maybe you guys should try sending an in-game bug report stating that some of the legendaries didn’t get the promised update. That should get some awareness.
