You can only speak for yourself, as can I. I am not in the habit of grinding for anything. Still, it wouldn’t be a thread without your ubiquitous contribution. =)
There should be some physical effect, visual effect, for any trinket they produce. Else, what is the point except bragging rights? And… noone cares about anything Legendary anymore. You work for it, you have it, or you don’t give a kitten .
Yeah don’t go for the legendary if you don’t feel like it cause it’s only for those who like tho grind stuff in game which tends to be the stand out crow in the game.But in the end a legendary weapon is just some shiny thing an artist drew.
OP, before you shout murder, check your sources. What you are stating is incorrect information.
Look at the Pax interview with Colin. It wil either be a legendary backpack orone legendary trinket. Cut it out with the pitchfork attitude and don’t believe everything you read.

No need to be so testy.The OP is just making a humble request not to release legendary trinkets its not shouting murder or pitchfork or anything.

Funny that’s exactly what people said when the ascended trinkets came out.

Funny that after ascended and legendary there will be an OMG tier weapon coming out.

“None is waiting for it” is a statement, you’re not supposed to read it literally. If you dont understand that you really should go back to school.. :/

Do you have proof of this?
The closest thing he’d have is the interview with MattVisual, where CJ said they’d like Ascended to be the last tier, but they can’t make any promises.

No, it’s an ‘fact’ that you made up to support your argument to not add other Legendary gear.
If people will go for it, why not add it? Other people having Legendary gear won’t affect you if you don’t want to go for it, surely?

@TheDaiBish
It’s hard to describe in english.
But what you’re saying in your last post is exactly what i mean.
It’s an allowed thing to do in a discussion. But no hard feelings, some people seem to be really sensitive about that kind of thing.
Edit so there is no confusion anymore.
Return to the discussion.
It really doesn’t change the fact that you want them to not add something that a large group of people may want to pursue that will have no affect on you, simply because you don’t like the idea of other Legendary gear.
Please explain how this makes any sense.

this is what’s wrong with anet, they spam you with crafts as if this was good enough to replace a brand new dungeon or any kind of significant content. Stop with this $%#@ already.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
1. Where did you read that?
2. Is there a point? I mean we have ascended trinkets and legendary trinkets would have the same stats as ascended. So would they give like a special effect or something?

Because legendaries dont show how good or experienced you are in the game.
It’s shows how much you have been farming, or how much of trading post playing you have done, or how much luck you had once.

And who’s to say that the process will stay the same?
Example: Ascended Ring acquisition changed from Fractals only, to Fractals and Laurels, to Fractals, Laurels and Guild Commendations.

Well there’s different ways that they can implement it. Out of whom only one would actually be bad.
1. Legendary trinkets give off an effect, but are not higher in stats than ascended trinkets.
2. Legendary trinkets have that nice option to switch their stats whenever you want to, but are not higher in stats.
3. Legendary trinkets have a specific function (like an emote), but are not higher in stats.
4. Legendary trinkets are higher in stats.
Only if they make them higher in stats is it bad. Yet even if they got all the functionality it’s still a bit pointless if you ask me.
Ofc there are different ways that they can implement it.
But how big is the chance? Ascended weapons? goldgoldgold. Ascended armor? Even more gold. Legendaries on the tp? 2000 gold.

And if trinkets are nothing more but a cosmetic item (like weapons pretty much are right now), does it matter?
Better looks has nothing to do with that and how do you know that trinkets will have better stats? Did they say that anywhere? If to follow the logic of current legendaries then they will be as strong as ascended and will either provide extra functionality (like being able to switch stats) or will provide an extra effect. Extra effect would be cosmetic only so I really don’t see your problem.

You’re right. They may not change it.
But if we look at Ascended, there are mats that you can’t buy, that you have to obtain yourself. The Vision Crystal, for one. This is an example of how a creation process has changed.
As far as I know, gear progression has never been attributed with ‘better looks’, since ‘better’ is subjective. Hell, I’m still using Flame weapons on my Charr.

Arenanet said in the past that progression in gw2 would be looks, not statts.
So yeah
No… no, the current method of getting legendaries is not “content”, it’s a grind with a push toward the cash shop.
If they want to change it so that there’s an epic story involved with unmatched player skill to achieve it over time… then fine. But no more grind. Simply won’t do it.

I agree with the story and challenging content part, but there’s no way to do it without adding a grind of some sort.
The amount of content they’d have to produce per weapon wouldn’t be justifiable for a single weapon. Thus, they’d have to use some form of ‘grind’.
That’s the sad truth; ideal game design isn’t real world game design.

I think if you look at the way Blizzard has handled Legendary items in WoW through the years it’s easy to see how it can be very rooted deep in story and require a real team as well as individual effort.
This time around they did it a bit differently in that everyone was basically capable of earning one through an expansion-long quest line and there really wasn’t anything “grindy” that, if you were playing the game anyway, didn’t sort of just come to you. Most importantly though, they didn’t have a cash shop to lean on that can make the process more convenient by spending money.
The world of Tyria has some pretty awesome lore, but the storytelling in GW2 has been abysmal, and this would be one place they could work on improving it.

In WoW though, aren’t there only one or two Legendary items per expac? I know vanilla had Hand of Ragnaros and Thunderfury, as well as a number of Legendaries being encounter-specific (Sunwell Raid comes to mind).
It’s a bit different to having to craft specific content for each weapon (so a total of 14 weapons) to have an individual story, rather than one item. Thus, some form of grind would have to be used to lengthen the process, or overlapping content.
I’m not arguing that Legendaries shouldn’t have a process that is based on their lore and challenges. I just don’t see it being feasible to do if each weapon is going to have a Legendary.

I read that they want to release legendary trinkets this year.
Please don’t do that arenanet!
Legendary appears to be the next tier after Ascended, they offer the exact same stats but also have the ability to change their stat combination when out of combat. Ascended and Legendaries have a completely different type of grind and the two are not mutually exclusive nor competing with each other, other than for player time of course

They could do it like with the Tequatl encounter, upgrade a few legendaries to have a story/quest and then improve the rest in time. They don’t have to make quests/stories for all of them at once.
Why no Legendary trinket? Not like they’re gonna be stronger then the already firmly established Ascended trinkets, and they’d only make them if there was gonna be flashy effects. Honestly it’s a better route then Legendary Armour, as it has potential to make all your current armour sets look legendary.
As long as it will work like other legendaries – aka: ascended stats, QoL function of switching stats on demand, maybe some special effect – don’t mind.
Higher stats, it’s istantquit.
Seafarer’s Rest EU – PvE/WvW – 8 × 80 chars.
Most used: Guard/Mes/War/Nec/Ele.
Yes, i use 5 chars at time. Because REASONS.
I prefer more “static” content my self such as a real instance raid I can do with my guild. Maybe a few more new dungeons that are not removed after a month. I still not really sure why they yanked Aetherblades Retreat after a month. It was 100% functioning content that could have added to the game nicely.
I think someone else said there tired of the crafting updates. I have to agree crafting only goes so far. Seriously who is going to grind months and months for a accessory?
