Guild Wars 2

Maybe not for free, but you could “unlock” the sigil and then be able to change it out of combat like you change stats.

I think the multi-stat capability is already reward enough for legendaries. They were originally supposed to just be aesthetic, and the swappable stat combinations is already pushing them past that point. But at least that’s a somewhat reasonable addition since otherwise you’d have to potentially craft multiple legendaries. Sigils, on the other hand, can always be switched out at will. So I see no reason legendaries should get that for free when everyone else has to pay for it.

This is why I dont really want another legendary. For the price of a legendary, I can craft all the ascendeds I could ever possibly want with exactly the stats and sigils I need for any dungeon or fractal.
One cool idea would be that a legendary could bank sigils. So if you had a sigil, you would put it in, and then that would then become avaliable for switching. So you would have to buy it, but you wouldnt loose it permanently if you replaced it with another sigil.

You should be able to save/unlock Sigils for it to use everytime you add one to it and can swap it anytime outa combat.

Do you mean unlock as in buy a sigil and unlock it. Because you can already unlock it by paying 60 gold and buy an ascended weapon and put the skin on it.

I just felt weird I probably spend 500 gold on a variety of ascended weapon just to put different sigil in. I pretty much have 3 sets of zojja’s armor too with different rune.

I think they should add it to both ascended gear and legendaries, but don’t make it cheap. Like you can combine 2 sword and be able to switch between each.

That being said, I’ll be more than happy that sigil can be swappable by just adding it to a gear. Maybe legendaries user deserve some previllage just because they spend so much already.

yes, i would love for my legendary to have access to things besides generosity at my whim instead of needing to extract it. because i like generosity in wvw, but i just dont end up wanting it in pve at all so i had to make another ascended weapon.

do it for infusions too.

I have every legendary in the game and honestly i could care less. the price of a sigil is so minuscule to the price of the weapon that i swap them out whenever I feel the need. I don’t know why you want to be swapping them all the time anyways. I pretty much leave all my weapons on zerker or celestial with either air, energy, fire, or battle and call it GG

Unless you use Sigil of Generosity like me. ;(

No. Sigils range from 2s all the way to whatever the price sigil of genorisity is. So no.

Most people don’t have enough gold to consider spending a few gold/day to swap in sigils at will.

I do like the idea of adding a wardrobe of sorts for sigils, that uses “upgrade charges” (as opposed to transmutation charges). Maybe legendary owners get free unlocks or a bunch of charges to start with.

I don’t like the idea of legendary owners getting a 5-6g discount on swapping, when compared to other players. That seems economically unfair and potentially destabilizing to the sigil market.

This idea would probably be the only thing that would make me actually consider getting legendaries. They’re simply not worth it currently.

oh no! the mind boggles at the inconceivable depths of non-caring he could do but refrains from doing so as not to make our heads implode.

I saw this suggestion somewhere else before, but why not a Legendary Sigil? It could cost a ludicrous amount of materials (like perhaps all the materials needed to craft every Superior Sigil) but when applied to a weapon it can be switched to any pre-existing Sigil. Ta-da.

To answer the topic question though, it gets a ‘no’ from me, and I’m not a fan of the ‘unlocking’ ideas either.

Then Legendary will be “mandatory” for people because it can save you like, 10 spaces maybe? I’d say it will make GW2 becomes a real “P2W” game.

Legendaries were supposed to be cool skins only. So, no they shouldn’t have switchable sigils. They shouldn’t even be exclusive in that they can switch stats. I think ascended should have that ability too.

I understand the upgrade extractor is to force players into buying Gems. Though, I’d much rather have Legendaries and Ascended gear have a hot swappable feature. We’d see better builds and especially more specific builds built to content in game. Right now all my Ascended gear has a more generic upgrade to them. Making them really not much better at all than having Exotic with specific upgrades in them. The best example of this having a WvW set of gear, then dungeon, and FotM gear. Add that to the armor weights and racial appearances and the amount of gear needed really adds up.

I see no reason for legendaries to be more special than they already are.

I’d love to see at least us able to equip multiple sigils that we own and switch between them, but i doubt it’s going to happen
