Guild Wars 2

What would you guys think of a collection for all Legendaries – some of us already have the complete collection and have been expecting this – which would, of course not reward any achievement points – in order not to upset the AP leaderboard – but maybe give a nice title or a unique back skin, or even an ascended necklace w/ an effect.

I’m thinking that gathering general feedback would maybe give the devs some ideas that wouldn’t upset some niche players or even the general population – because imo this has the potential to.

or how about that legendary trinket they talked about a while back.

I dont support this idea. There is already an achievement for having 5 legendaries called “Legendary Collector”
All this would do is making precursors and t6 mats even more expensive. You are only suggesting this because you already have the whole collection.

Wouldn’t people feel frustrated if it is awarded by completing the collection?

If it is legendary most likely you will be able to change the stats and/or it will have a very nice aura/effect.

That is exactly why i made this thread, if it is to be implemented the reward should be very minor, and the achievement not impact other collectors.

I don’t see people who maxed Legendary Collector at 5 making another 15 in a massive rush for a title or a skin.

The eventuality that it could also be implemented with the long talked about precursor crafting would be very nice to ensure a drop in precursors price.

In that matter having Twice Told legend award achievement points is worse in my opinion as it messes with AP hunters.

I could just see the reward now:

2 rare weapons, 10 T5 crafting mats, 1 level 20 scroll and a guaranteed named account-bound exotic necklace with rampager stats.

All that packed in a very exclusive champion box called “Legendary Collector Rewards of Ultimate Destiny”.

Do you really think Anet would make this an achievement without AP? Even Black lion collections give AP :/

I hope they would in order to preserve the AP competition which they are trying to encourage and for which they even have a leader board.

Imho, Twice Told Legend should be a 0 AP achievement and if the legendary collection should be implemented, the reward should be purely cosmetic and still be attached to a 0 AP achievement.

Otherwise you just turn the AP competition in a form of “Pay to Win” where the people who played the TP the most would get the edge.

You can actaully get 2 green stuff, 2 blue stuff and a exotic spoon and a title “gotta have them all guildemon two”

Its too late to change Twice Told Legend now. A lot of AP collectors built legendaries for that one already.
But yes its stupid that a duplicate legendary will give as much AP kitten unique legendaries. But just as much sense as 3 sets of ascended armor = 100 AP. Anet just has no clue about AP distribution because they just spawn all the stuff with their dev commands.

I just hope that at some point we get some form of reward for collecting all legionaries and fractal weapons etc.

I still believe that just giving a title or something “cool” like an aura item is the best way to go for this.

But the question would be would people complain at that level of reward?

Not a good idea. It would be nothing but a money sink. The kicker is the drop rate of T6 material. Grind fest Enough said.

How would you feel it being different than BL skin collections?

In my opinion its not. I don’t think any ‘high end’ weapon collections are a good idea. But I cant think of any reason not to include this, as the rewards are probably gonna be pathetic anyway. Especially if you own all Leggies.

I dont’ think Anet should. Because there is only a few people on the entire server that could collect every single legendary.

Compare that to BL skin collection which I dont’ think it is too bad. Probably 1k gold is enough if you collect it when it is still 1 ticket.

I’m actually surprised you’re not in favour of this, Malediktus. I’d have thought you’d be all over another chance to boost your AP/get another exclusive mini/item. After all, you did complete all the Black Lion Weapon collections and the Dungeoneer collection by your own admission.

And that is exactly why i brought this up, because it would be nice for people who already have the collection, give people something cool to look forward to in a near/far future, and if it is implemented in a non-invasive way for AP collectors it would be really nice to see a cool title or a back skin/necklace w/ aura that rewards players.

Fool! The Legendary Collection already exists.

In order to unlock it, you need to get a special unique drop that only appears in a very obscure and specific part of the game. It has a 0.001% drop rate.

Then you take this drop, and you combine it with a Bloodstone Shard, Gift of Battle, and Gift of Exploration.

Then you double-click the now account bound Legendary Collection Unlocker.

I wish that were true!

Man I can’t even make 1 Legendary after playing this game since the headstart. I need to win the Lotto, buy millions of gems, and exchange them for gold at this rate.

They already force-fed us APs for Twice Told Legend. This…. collection idea… reward no APs if someone collects all leggies and people will complain that they weren’t rewarded with any APs, or, as others have already stated.. implement the APs and the hunters will complain of it being ridiculous/grindy/too difficult etc.

Honestly wouldn’t care if it rewarded APs or not; a simple ‘one title to rule them all’ deems fit enough for this kind of collection. I don’t have many idea(s) on this kind of topic that would make it a win-win scenario for all players.

There again the goal would be to avoid the Black Lion Collection & Twice Told Legend situation, but i do think having a Legendary Collection would give people something to look forward to in the mid/long run “One day i’ll have that cool Title/Effect!” type of thing.

Agreed on the fact that it should be a thing to look forward to. Too many people sour when it comes to things they cannot achieve/obtain quickly or easily. Life isn’t supposed to be easy.

Huge +1 on that!

Where did I say I have all the Black Lion collections? I only have six completed (Phoenix, Ley, Chaos, Tempest, Halloween 2013 and Dragonjade)

For legendaries I only made Sunrise and Twilight (crafted them to Eternity) for 3 advancements to the achievement, Juggernaut and 2x Rodgort. And at the moment I have little interest in making additional legendaries because they most look ugly to me and not very legendary.

I dont even have ambrite (2/16) or ascended armor collections complete. I never crafted any ascended armor or weapons as a matter of fact, so if I ever complete the ascended armor collection it is by drops (12/18 currently).

I won’t say this is a bad idea, but have you seen the outside of your house at any point in the past two years?

One more note, I doubt many people would even strive to complete this other than yourself. I personally, and I am not alone on this, don’t like all of the legendaries, so I am not likely to collect them all no matter the reward. Nothing against those who designed and created them, a few of them just aren’t my taste.

Since a Legendary is suppose to be the pinnacle of aesthetic achievements in the the game I’d like to see something big for getting them all.

Maybe a free Series 2 Legendary, a colored name tag, and 1000 gems.

or

The player’s choice of Infinite Total Makeover Kit, Infinite Black Lion Access, or Infinite Bank Access.

Seems like it should be epic in nature not matter what it is.

I don’t even have 1…lol I’ve never even gotten a precursor

Perhaps if I had 80,000 gold…. sure… until then, no thanks.

Already took me 2 years just to get The Bifrost. And that was with help from my wallet – converting lots of gems I bought on the exchange, into gold.

So I could only imagine how long it would take me to get an entire collection of legendaries o_O

Hmm… I might be mistaken then. I could have sworn you made a post saying you’d completed all the Black Lion weapon collections back when the Tempest weapons came out.

Still, my point stands. It would be a way for somebody rich/dedicated enough to acquire all the Legendaries to stand out. It might cause a small upswing in T6 and Precursor prices, but I honestly think that the majority of players wouldn’t bother going for it after seeing the costs involved.

That said, I would prefer to see a Precursor Scavenger Hunt before a Legendary Collection.

How about a new batch of legendaries where 75% of them aren’t gimmicky or trashy looking instead of wasting time window dressing old content and pretending it is something new to do, aka the entire last feature patch when collections were added.

Having made five and equipped three of the legendaries I made, making all the weapons is a huge accomplishment in game assuming you aren’t a trading post one percenter. It probably does deserve a title and collection, more so than others they added, but I’d rather not see any more collections. The only thing I want in updates is new enjoyable playable content.

There’s actually still Collections I’d love to see:

1. Order collections (3)

- Unlock all Vigil armor/weapons
- Unlock all Priory armor/weapons
- Unlock all Whispers armor/weapons

2. Bandit Basher (1)

- Unlock all Bandit weapons

3. Centaur Crusher (1)

- Unlock all Centaur weapons

2. Regional collections (4)

- Unlock all the Krytan, Aureate and Ceremonial weapon skins
- Unlock all the Shiverpeak, Norn and Etched weapon skins
- Unlock all the Steam, Flame and Legionnaire weapon skins
- Unlock all the Glyphic, Verdant and Tribal weapon skins

3. Racial collections (5)

- Unlock all the Seraph weapon skins
- Unlock all the Wolfborn weapon skins
- Unlock all the Adamant weapon skins
- Unlock all the Peacemaker weapon skins
- Unlock all the Warden weapon skins

I want to see an Order Collection as well, I’ve unlocked all the Vigil armor and weapons! lol

Well, even if I’d have all the legendaries, I won’t need a collection for them ‘till i’ll see all the missing ones.

There are a lot of weapon set missing on the collection tag (Lyssa with weapons and the back, fractals and destroyers for example), why should we have one with the most prestigious weapons?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-Missing-collection-achievements/
I made a thread for missing collections a while ago, feel free to add if you find anything missing

In my opinion it makes sense to give some reward for the most expensive/bothersome to achieve collection in this game, even though I will never even get close to achieving it.

A bit off topic perhaps, but I find it strange how people feel this collection should not get achievement points in order to not upset the leaderboards or AP hunters. Regardless of any opinion on “prestige” of legendaries, this would be a huge feat to accomplish, but somehow it should reflect less upon your leaderboard metrics than carving up some pumpkins? I can imagine that achievements like these would bar anything but hardcore players from the top leaderboards, but is that not a characteristic of “overall” leaderboard of games anyway?

Sure.
I would give them such collection.
Reward:

• Exclusvie title: No-Lifer
• toy banner with written text: Farming Gw2 24/7.

Something really nice and cosmetic / convenient would be nice.

But if it is too over the top it will cause major complaints like every other “exclusive endgame” type of content.

But a title, an aura trinket, a unique cool back item with a cool aura etc would imo be the right balance between effort and rewards without upsetting the community.

I would like to see collections added for legendaries and fractal weapons

At least it would make more sense than BL collections bullkitten

I would really like to see something for having every legendary. Not really sure why the achieve stops after binding 5. Would be really cool to get some sort of recognition for having them all. I was pretty pleased with Twice Told Legend as I like the title and wear it often. But were talking every legendary in game. Should really be a momentous feat that is awarded. I have them all as well as my wife has them all. Not saying we need more auras, but something like a title, trinket, or my favorite idea would be a Permanent Hero’s Banner with a 1 hour cool down. Just my 2 cents.

A perma hero’s banner with a very cool effect would indeed be extremely nice!

I would still prefer they work on collections that are actually achievable by most people. Yes, I think the same thing about the black lion collections, and the fractal weapons.
