Guild Wars 2

Would it be possible one day for Anet to include an option to keep legendary effects stay on/shown, even when stowing said legendary?

The other week I don’t know how this happened, but for a few seconds my character kept the metallic effect of juggernaut when I stowed it. I took a few screenshots knowing it was probably some glitch and it would go away after a few seconds, and sure enough, a player hit me and it reverted back to normal :-(

But in the brief moment that the effects stayed, I couldn’t help but think – what if this was suggested on the forums? It would be an awesome option to have anyway (and it would be just that – a tick box option that can be toggled on or off, so people could have effects remain when stowed, or only when wielded).

We used to be able to do this on demand with legendary weapons by swapping them a certain way. You would keep the aura of the non active weapon as long as you didn’t swap back and stow/unstow it once the effect was applied. It would stay indefinitely for the current zone.

I would like an option to not see legendary effects, especially in larger groups, I know there are probably some ppl who would like to not hear personal toy effects, Tron I’m looking at you, my guy hate that little motormouth. I have no problem with you seeing what you played so long to achieve, options are nothing but good.

I agree with the OP, this would be a great idea to have the effects shown when stowed.

I 100% disagree with Roundabout.1752, never turn off the effects IMO. The option would be a bad idea.
The art crew and the designer put in a lot of effort to make these amazing weapons.

I’m not suggesting Anet turn off the Legendary effects, I’m suggesting giving players the ability to turn them off. Options are good.

I know what you’re asking, I just personally think it’s not worth while or a good idea.
Plus “options” aren’t always good. Too many options complicate things.

You of course are free to think whatever you like I personally hate a couple of the Legendary effects and would like to be able to turn them off, but I doubt that is on the Devs to do list and I can live with that.

I would love if they made it so the effect on the juggernaut not was tried to the light in the surroundings but had it own light

Yes Hamer aura needs to stay even when swapped Please.
