Guild Wars 2

I like the legendary weps we have so far. A lot of them are quite ingenious but it got me wondering what the next ones will look like. One thing I hope they keep is their separateness from one another. I like that the legendary weapons are not THEMED like the exotics you can get from the dungeon or skins we have so far are. Each has it’s own identity and no two (well the GSs are similar, which is something I hope doesn’t happen this next go round) are alike. So, what will the next ones look like? What would you like the legendary weapon you want to look like? I would like to see what ideas you come up with on the next legendary weapons and how creative and out of the box design they might have.

Staff: (Lich) ghostly like weapon, more like holding fog shaped like a staff (think of the ghastly grinning shield type black smoke movements) that also makes your character a ghost (eat a strawberry ghost for reference) making a fog like trail behind you as you move. Whenever you use a skill it’s a skeletal ghost erupting out.

Hammer: (Titan) I’d like a hammer with a much larger head on top with a large spike going through either face end, a weapon forged in the depths of an erupting volcano. And when you move your foot prints leave large cracks in the ground spewing lava. And when you swing your weapon it makes a loud noise like a volcano erupting.

Short Bow: I liked the idea of The Dreamer so how about an evil version of this (The Nightmare). Instead of a unicorn shooting out leaving streaks of rainbows you have a black nightmare horse blazing out with a death rattle like neigh leaving a trail of fire and your foot prints are hoof prints of fire and scorch marks.

Rifle: (Catalyst) A futuristic weapon that blasts energy and I don’t mean something like the puny star wars laser shots but something larger and more intense that give a reason for an engineer to be knocked back with that skill of theirs. Instead of foot prints your movement elongates you, pretty much making you streak while moving, like how you see twilight or sunrise leave streaks when being swung.

Shield: (Mirror of Souls) In line with the great swords what you see within is not the universe or the sky rather you see the mists and the silhouettes of all the souls that reside within creeping about.

Great Sword: (Tidal) A weapon of the sea. You hold a weapon of Poseidon. The blade is made of rippling water maybe even have a fish or two jump out of the blade to splash back within a moment later or even shark fins poking out circling about. When you swing it water streaks behind and when you move spouts of water splash beneath your feet drowning the earth.

Longbow: (Meteor) A bow made just multicolored stars not like twilight but of physical stars floating in your hand. When you fire it you shoot meteors and when a ranger uses their aoe a meteor shower falls onto its victims. When you move those same multi-colored stars are left on the ground.

Well, these are some ideas I had so what are yours (Not suggestions as to how they should look, so hopefully this won’t just get tossed in the suggestions thread)? I’m sure everyone has had an idea of a legendary they would like to make. What would yours be?

Since they have so many rainbow weapons, why not a rainbow great sword. I would like to see something thinner then twilight or sunrise, so it would look good on my mesmer. The great swords now are more focused on melee classes. We need one for ranged classes.

The next round of legendaries should be based on developer art. Obnoxiously.

Example: “Pew! Pew!” Would pop out of the 16-triangle pistol with unicorns textured on it, and Colin Johanson would voice all of the sound effects.

Next round of Legendaries should be themed based on your class, and should be a challenging quest line. Actually, nvm, perhaps this idea would be better served if it was exotic weapons instead, and included class based armor. Legendaries in this game is supposed to be a huge major grind that most people will not reasonably get. So my idea would be better served as a challenging “quest” like system where you get armor/weapon skins designed around your class.

Not sure what they’ll look like, but there will almost certainly be 120000 awesome GS’s and some sort of a pop gun for a pistol and a stick for a scepter if we are lucky enough to be graced with a single new weapon at all.

I would prefer legendary armor instead of new weapons.

I hope they will make some silly weapons (moot, dreamer, quip style), of course not for weapon who already have those.

Here, have this, thank me later.

GS should be a giant 4 leaf clover GS that spawns leprechauns with giant greatswords spewing lucky charms zone wide. The Leprechauns would all be giggling. When you run it would make you skip merrily leaving a trail of little magic meadows with pots of gold and rainbows.

Longbow should be a scud launcher complete with thermonuclear air blast detonations.
When you run little mushroom clouds will appear.

Pistols should be sharks. In a sharkholder thing. they would have lazors and discoballs on their heads. Also play Disco. When you run, it would look like you are doing roller disco with rainbow glitter trails.

Staff could be a huge skull on a huge bone covered with skulls. All of the skulls would have laughing skull mouths that shoot out little skulls that form the shape of a giant skull that also laughs and shoots more skulls out. When you run little tiny skeletons should raise up out of your footsteps and follow you, cheering and shooting really tiny skulls out of their mouths.

Most of all they need at least 5x the amount of particles and the particle density should scale up with the size of the audience of people admiring it.

Rifle should be a GU 8A Avenger but made a lot bigger, with glowing spikes, shooting hundreds of little glowing snakes. when you run it should give the illusion of two or three turbojet engine exhausts.

Something slick and shiney, with no footglops or weird auras. Make looking at that sucker itself make you say kitten , thats nice! Not kitten that odd thing has a bunch of glops and glowing stuff around you and it.

A joke version of the greatsword ( ponies, sparkles, etc ).

I would love to see the rage by all of warriors on the forums.

I would so want that for my guardian norn.

lol that is the coolest Norn Guardian in the game! You should get the new rainbow extra particle effect GS that has a trail of raspberry cupcakes(with sprinkles!) for free good sir!

My hopes is that the new legendaries do not involve rainbows and other things that make me have to punch a wall when I look at them.

I want a rifle that shoots baby quaggan eggs and when they hit they hatch and do a baby karka effect on the enemy.

lol

The Legendary pistol is the most ridiculous ugly and emasculating item in the game. I don’t understand how it was approved as a design choice. You spend time building your dashing cool hero and then you equip the “Quip” and turn into a clown fool.

It’s the reason why I was never interested in having a Legendary. Hopefully somebody who has some testosterone in their body gets to design new pistols.

Whatever it is, I rather it not be attained like it is now. As stat’s is not the issue, I would like to feel more like a journey, even if it meants time gating events, currently any of the legendaries can be “rushed” and too many people have it takes away from the Legendary feel.

It should be something a player should be able to chose to get and slowly work towards, not luck or gold grind to get.

I’d like to see some legendary content.

how about they fix those obnoxious ascended weapon and armor skins first?

To be completely honest ascended armor looks fantastic if you dye it right.

I like that the legendary weapons are not THEMED like the exotics you can get from the dungeon or skins we have so far are. Each has it’s own identity and no two (well the GSs are similar, which is something I hope doesn’t happen this next go round) are alike.

Okay.

Changed your mind that fast, huh?

…?

I fail to see how having the opposite of that shortbow is “themed.” And I was talking about the GS weapons not the SB. You sir are trolling. =oP A lot of people wanted an sb that shot dragons and what not so, yea one that shoots nightmare horses would be a darker version that others might get on board with.

and what of us that want a Shortbow that shoots Nyancats or random barnyard fowl?

Hmm?

YES! And when your in a downed state the Nyan cats can circle your body and lick your face!

Quip, Dreamer, Moot and to a lesser extent Meteorlogicus are just ridiculous.

We need more epic weapons and armor not Nyan cats and baby quaggans.

That’s what the dreamer is for. =oP

Sorta sad though that this thread has turned more into a troll than actual ideas of what people would’ve wanted to see. I was really curious about ideas that others had that would’ve made a good legendary weapon.

If there ever will be a future set of legendaries I’d like for them to put more thought into it. Currently some legendaries “lock out” armor-weapon combinations if you’re into stuff like that.
example: Bifrost on a necro in arah gear… only good for the lulz factor (necromancer shooting rainbow orbs).

Class specific legendaries would be something nice but i’d doubt they would put time into that.

I hope we get an art contest to decide to next set of legendary weapons.

Yea, It would be kinda nice if you could choose to toggle off the firing effects of weapons. Necros holding byfrost wearing all white sorta reminds me of Glinda from Wizard of Oz. “Are you a good necro or a bad necro.”

My hope is that new legendaries will require legendary feats within the game to complete instead of countless hours of farming gold/materials.

A “Legendary” piece of gear should indicate at least a basic level of competence across the entire game, in all game modes, not just how much time it takes to run in FS circuit.

The current game mechanics it requires are just silly, 500 WvW badges ? LOL 1-2 hours of play. Same with dungeon badges, couple speed runs, 2-3 days or 1 session on multiple toons, done.

Less farming more of a competence/capability check pls.
