Guild Wars 2

Let me start off first by stating that I absolutely love the artwork behind the foot trails coming from the new Legendary weapons! I just got Astralaria this past week after months of hard work. Unfortunately, the trail I leave behind is only 3 footsteps at most times, and only stays for maybe a second? Would you guys mind considering extending the graphic to last as long as some of the other legendaries, for example Incinerator or Sunrise? It just leaves me wanting more when I swap from Incinerator- (in my opinion/experience) a much easier legendary for me to craft – to Astralaria, and seeing a much more discrete effect.

I noticed on Reddit there was a thread going about this dealing with some other legendaries as well, so I know I am not the only one who sees this. It looks like the steps are not evenly distributed, this applies to a random bunch of the weapons. Can we have them all the same length?

Thanks!!!

(also, I am sorry if this was already posted, but forum search bar keeps automatically searching whenever I stop typing a word and doesn’t let me finish… Made it hard to research here. possible bug?)

While we’re on the topic, can you please give The Minstrel some footsteps ^^

Yeah I agree. I love Nevermore and the foot steps are great but definitely short.

Any chance a Mod/dev could give us a quick reply if this was intentional/unintentional and if this is something they are going to consider altering?

I finished my Astralaria, the new legendary axe. The foot trail is too short, less than half of my first generation legendary weapons, e.g. Eternity, BiFrost, and Incinerator, etc. The size of each trail effect is a bit smaller, less prominent, and it disappears way too soon. Please, improve it.

I have Rodgort and it’s the same. very short. I also have Predator and while it lasts a bit longer it is nowhere near as pronounced as some of the others. I wish the effects were uniform in how much they pop. Not a big deal, but I have actually seen people say that the off hands shouldn’t be as pronounced. I loled when I heard it.

Since posting this, I have been paying attention a lot more in-game… I really can’t tell if the difference was intentional or not. IMO, I would appreciate all legendaries having the same length for trails… I noticed today that Kudzu went like 5 times as far back as mine when I was running next to somebody in WVW. I almost couldn’t even see my steps to be honest.
