Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow tyrian hero’s,

On this topic I would like to discuss our opinions about legendaries: The good the bad and the ugly.
By discussing this I hope to hear more solutions to common problems or other things about the legendaries. One thing that is stuck in my head is the next thing:
Legendaries do no fit all styles.
With this I mean that i like to play a very dark styl-ish necro, but when i want to get a legendary staff, i will get rainbows.
When I want a legendary pistol on my engineer i want to see something cool and really tough. Instead of that I will get a pistol shooting confetti….

There are many more examples of this. Do not get me wrong that I hate these weapons because they can have good syncs with your style. However this is my idea about the legendaries: Making opposite sides about them would be a very nice solution in my opinion (just like Sunrise already has Twilight).

How do you feel about this? I am really wondering if I am the only one feeling like this. If you also feel like this, do you think this might be a good solution and why do you like it or not?

Thanks! Greetings Fvux!

I hope the next round of legendaries… the shortbow is better. I reskinned mine to the super shortbow skin because the bronie bow was just elkitteno. After the legendary graphics update the legendary bronie bow just got worse.

More cosmetic options, including your suggestion, would be nice.

I’d just like to see a couple possible choices for each type of weapon, like how there are 3 greatswords.

Oh, I thought this was going to be our favourite looks of white items, but okay! I’ll say I’ve only almost nearly been tempted to have a legendary once or twice, but the looks don’t appeal to me either.

My ranger is dismayed at the flowers and rainbow unicorns in terms of bows, but he’s almost into the warhorn and the sword but not quite enough. Despite being a twig in cultural armour, he always wanted something a bit more... rawk in bowyer terms. He now has corrupted weapons instead.

The twig mesmer isn’t too interested in the non-matchy focus or sword, and no greatsword matches him quite as well as the crystal thingy he has right now. Same goes for the twiggy warrior I have, who has a corrupted greatsword and asuran blue style sword/warhorn.

My engineer is an asura, so the rifle would never be seen in all its glory - not that it matters, as she’s all about her kits anyway, and my asuran guardian may be deleted at any moment and doesn’t get a say yet.

Underwater weapons are sort of cool, but I spend most of the time above the water and so it would be a frivolous investment in all senses ahead of anything else.

So I heard firing unicorns is breaking your immersion.

Would either of these help?

I was thinking about maybe some personalising screen option, however personalising a frostfang to add flames (or whatever) wouldnt be really much “Frostfang” ^^

honestly, they should just ‘borrow’ the ‘skins’ from other games. dante’s ebony and ivory on a thief? yes please. War’s greatsword? yes please. a barret light .50 rifle skin? yup. or a KSG12 rifle legendary for engineer? kitten yeah.
would anyone say no to these? of course ignoring all the copyright infringement
