Guild Wars 2

Ok after much discussion left and right me + Obtena.7952 came to a conlcusion since legendary weapons are suspended indefinatly so should legendary armor.

And some of the raiders se them as glorified purple skins anyway so they dont really need them.

Anet make it so and release lw s3 and 4 instead.

Sigh…

This kind of post and reasoning is exactly why i try to stay out of this section of the forums…

So basically we get them to cancel more content in order to receive living story episodes quicker? Yeah, I think I’ll pass on this proposition.

Well dident want to clog up the legendary weapons topic with this discussion feel free not to join in Durzlla

Some major differences between legendary armor and weapons though isn’t there?

1.) Legendary weapons, while not a complete 2nd set, have 1 first set to go to. Meaning you can get at least 1 legendary weapon per slot/type, in some cases 2.

2.) Decisions to cut content or change a direction are made way earlier than when the community is actually told about the decision. You have no idea how far they are with their design for legendary armor. Since we can assume that the first raid will get implemented as a whole, there is no reason to cut parts of its reward.

3.) The community reaction to cutting the remaining season 2 legendarys will likely lead to some reassessment as to how to split ressources on future-release-content. I doubt arenanet will go down the road of canceling even more content that people are waiting on (no matter how big the playerbase waiting on it).

4.) You are correct though from the perspective that legendary armor likely is in a similar spot as weapons that not a big fraction of the community will be working on getting it. Likely this will mean there won’t be comming an alternative way of aquiring it besides raids for quite a while.

I’m confused, how are legendaries not purple skins? xD
