Guild Wars 2

Hey guys
well I found no place where i could put this thread/question/request in, so I’m sorry if it is wrong
I just started to farm for The Flameseeker-Prophecies as it is an awesome skin imo but it has no aura or footsteps – and there are other legendaries out there like that.
My question is: does ArenaNet plan to get footsteps to these legys or will they stay like that?
An aura would be nice as well :P

There is no reason at all to asume that the current legendary’s will change. The shield is considered to have different animations, that activate when using skills (turning of the page). Those are instead of the footsteps.

Recently They overhauled some of the legendary’s that where in the eyes of the devs not up to level compared with the other legendary’s. This leads to my conclusion that they judge this to be up par with the others.

I agree that it should give footsteps ;P. And mercury, I wouldn’t assume that the turning of the page is up to par with footsteps. I think it would be up to par with, say the Twilight Greatsword where the sword leaves trails and has an aura itself. Or how the Incinerator gives the burning effect on people when they die and when they are hit.

Regardless, even if they added footsteps to it, if you’re wielding a legendary in your mainhand it overrides your offhand. Not much they can do about it.

It does have an ‘aura’. It shines and it reflects on the ground, especially in bright areas.

Sadly the wielder is the only one who can see the light.

The shield might not need footsteps, but hell sure it should be given something more, really.

if i could have other players legendary weapons effects not display including auras
that’d be super

I mean almost every legy has footsteps nowadays… they are one of the best inventions for legendaries imo

Is it ‘make the unique thing more like all the other things’ season again?

By the Six Gods this forum needs a search tool that WORKS…

I’m not saying it is up to par (and I’m not saying it isn’t up to par). I am saying that recently Anet has change the effects on many legendary’s, but not on this one. From that I am getting the conclusion that Anet thinks it is up to par the way it is.

If you think that anet should add footsteps, feel free to ask them. but given this recent change and given the OP’s question the answer is that there is no indication that Anet is going to add this.

That’s unfortunate. I’m still hoping they change the inane lighting footsteps on Meteorlogicus with the more subtle white, fluffy clouds. During the day that Legendary is too serene to have violent lightning strikes shoehorned into the footfall effects.
