Guild Wars 2

Hello, I usually would not open a new thread with every idea I get that would, in my opinion, improve the gaming experience, but this one I think would benefit a large player base and developers themselves.
Now I am no game designer, but I am certain this would be a step to a right direction.
I am sure that many of us, including myself, after completing a legendary weapon, have come to a point where I / you don’t want the stats it provides (PTV). As it stands right now, transmuting any legendary weapon, will lose you the legendary status of it.
Giving all that in consideration, why not make the stones (name it whatever) that would enable us to transmute the weapons with the stats we want, with keeping the legendary status of it? This will cater large portion of the community for certain, and plus, ANet can get something out of it.
Put it on the Gem Store for certain amount of gems. It’s a win win situation.

What are the community’s thoughts on this?

Yes, something needs to be done about the lack of stat variety on legendary weapons. Either a legendary transmutation stone, or a legendary NPC which changes the stats to what you want is needed.

It’s really disappointing to do all the work needed for a legendary only to find out it doesn’t have the stats required for 90% of the builds out there, and transmuting it causes lots of bugs and causes it to lose its legendary status

Better yet, players should be able to pick whatever 3 stats they want on their Legendary upon creation.

Anet has already fixed this. You can now transmutate an exotic stat over the legendary stat; the legendary still keeps it’s purple name. **In fact, you can also make it accountable by making it a white item, then moving it to whatever toon, then making it an exotic again while still keeping it’s purple name. I have done this with all my legendaries, and they have all remained legendary

**I wouldn’t do this to Sunrise, or Twilight, as it will not let you make Eternity afterwards.

Wish I had of seen this (and similar) thread(s) before transmuting the stats on my legendary… all that effort is pretty much gone.

that’s half the point – it’s not a legendary anymore. it just has a purple name.

Yes I would love to change stats on my legendary longbow and shortbow when I craft it. Can we have legendary transmutation stone or something to change stats to what we want for instances: Power, Precision and Crit which goes well for range weapons like bows. Power, toughness and Vitality are great for greatsword and sword since they are close melee weapons. Range should concentrate on damage more since its not close combat.
Thanks Anet.
