Guild Wars 2

After a discussion with a friend where we were talking about legendarys, and were talking about the fact that although the footsteps of the legendarys were cool, I really didn’t like the weapon skin that they came with. I would much rather have my current weapon but with the footprints of a legendary if I had unlocked it.

There are several reasons I think this would be useful to have in game.
1. This would enable players to have an additional reason to get a certain type of legendary weapon that they would not have before, so they could unlock the footstep animation they like the best.
2. It offers more variety to people, and variety is the spice of life.
3. It would offer a very real incentive for people to go for legendary crafting in the mastery system.

Overall, I have had the resources to make a legendary for some time now, perhaps more than one, but I have never done so because I like some of the Black Lion Skins better. If HoT introduced the unlocking of the legendary weapon along with its footsteps so they could be used separately, I would be infinitely more likely to collect not just one, but several legendarys in the game. I think others might as well.

Might as well make it a wardrobe item!!
Or a potion too!!

Wish we could do this with the juggernaut wielded effect. Not foodsteps but still…..

Wish we had an option to hide another player’s footprints from our view.

One of the legendaries creates these greenish puddles that looks much like mushroom patches, which makes me want to harvest every footprint. :p

They messed around with stuff like this with stuff like black cat and queen bee. I wish they would put auras and footsteps into wardrobe. Lets us unlock cool effects for the weapon you like instead of having to use a meh weapon just for the effects.
