Guild Wars 2

Is there any ETA on when we will see new legendary weapon skins?
Because I don’t want to waste my items on crafting the axe or horn (for a necro, since staff skin sucks really hard) and discover that 2-3 months later they will implement new skins.

They’ll be doing an overview in July, detailing what they’ll be doing in the coming months. There’s no ETA currently set. The only hint was that the way precursors are obtained would probably be changed first.

So let’s hope they hint something about this on their July post >_<

I wouldn’t get your hopes up as far as new legendary skins, they have bigger yet similar priorities to get through first. The Scavenger Hunt however I actually think is closer than most people feel, and I can’t wait.

As far as I know Anet have never said they would add new legendary skins.

A lot of people seem to talk about “when the new legendaries come out” or “waiting on new legendaries” but this seems to be based on the assumption that Anet must share their opinion that the current ones aren’t good enough and therefore must be working on others rather than any actual information.

Which given Anet made and approved the current legendaries seems unlikely IMO.

The problem isn’t current skins are bad… in fact, they are good. The real problem is what happens with every skin-related topic: people who like something may not like whatever others like.

I mean, if I had a mesmer, the legendary staff would be perfect for it, but for a necro?
They are trying to please everyone as much as they can since the launch of the game, so why won’t they do the same about legendaries?

Before you start worrying about new legendary weapons

-they need to roll out the scavenger hunt
-they need to upgrade existing legendary skins

And for something more recent,

We still plan to do both new legendary weapons, as well as a clear path (on top of the current random chance) to gain precursors which players can see their progress and understand how much work they have left to do to gain it.

I just know the day after I get my first legendary, that I only semi like, they’ll release better skins. Just like I know my first precursor drop will some day be an underwater one >.>

Wow! Thank you so much for linking these… I have a renewed hope now, we need a dark legendary staff for necromancers!!
