Guild Wars 2

How will we acquire the new Armor ? Will it be RNG based so that we have to run it our hole lifetime and even my grandkids and their kids will have to run it to get just one piece of the set out of 100 quadrillion runs? If its RNG based iam going not even to bother doing Raids at all… i dont .. give.. a… kittenrage !

Or will it be Craft-based?

Or will it be directly after we defeated that encounter ?

How? HOW ?

I believe they said it will be craf based, Raids will drop mats needed to craft Legendary armor.

Don’t take that as gospel, because I’m not 100% sure but I believe that is what they stated.

They said the armor precursers will drop in the raid(s), specific part from specific boss.

Edit, no word on drop rate however.

Sounds like it is craft based.

Still wonder… any specific information anywhere? Because i cant even find it somehow on Dulfy or even here in the Forums…

Man Anet is really bad at giving Information and making things clear… i hate that !

Anet… you steal our time… lifetime just to find the Information we want! …../rage

Anet likes for players to discover things on their own so that’s probably one of the reasons there haven’t been many details on legendary armor.

They said the droprate will be high. As high as 10% in some cases. Not sure if that was meant for specific drops however, or just a chance of getting any good drop from a boss (remember, there are also ascended weapons and armor, unique skins, minis etc that might occupy the same drop spot). Most likely it will be the second, not the first.

Especially when that info is not good for them.

Like the recepies that arent discovered yet… after… 3 years… come on this is just rediculous dont you agree? 3 years… and they dont even bother giving this information free to us…. obviously they made the recepies way to kitten hard to discover. Screw this man.. iam getting more and more angry in the way they handle things.. it makes me sick!

I think telling us that there will be Collections for it similar to the Legendary Weapon collections, or if the precursors are 100% drops, not-100% drops or token based, wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Recipes for exactly what though? Are you really at a loss for not knowing the recipe for something that you don’t know? Think about all of the recipes that players discovered and the excitement that many had on figuring out the various combinations. There’s also more to discovery than simply recipes.

Does it really hurt anything to not know? Suppose they told you that it is crafted through collections. Does it put you in a different position than had you not known?

Yes. They even gave more information on how the new legendary weapons will be crafted and it already caused discussions on the forums. Why not tell us how to craft Legendary Armors and how to get their precursors?

Knowing how we will get the precursors goes a very long way in figuring out if Raids are worth running or not. For example, if we only get one at random after beating all 3 Wings then the Raid won’t simply exclude players that lack the skill, but players who don’t have enough time for all 3 wings as well.

Time is not an issue as individual progress is saved. You don’t lose that progress after a specific amount of time. Those without as much time will not be excluded. They just won’t have as many opportunities as those with more time. Really no different than with everything else in the game.

And them not revealing any information can cause conversations as well in regards to how the armor would be crafting. What harm is there in not telling and leaving it up to the players to discover? Do you gain or lose anything whether you know or not?

Its very simple… figure it out yourself! Does it hurt not to know now ? I play the same game now like Anet… do you see it now ?

So you state it is out of principle, can’t name the principle, so you then tell me to name it for you? Convenient.

It would be nice to have an idea, if there is something we could be doing now to speed up the process that would be valuable information. Even if there is nothing to be done currently it allows for people to plan.

The information isn’t needed but then again none of the HoT information was needed prior to release, however, they did give us the information, this is no different. It would simply be nice to know what we should expect.

1 Priciple here ; Actions cause reactions, if someone is not satisfied by the action, then the one who caused it has to respond to that reaction.
Every teacher does that.

2 Priciple help ; If the one who caused the reaction, responds, but does not clearify, then the one who reacted to the first action will ask questions about it again.
A never ending circle.

3 Priciple clearify; If still both are in an captive conversation because of the first action, then the reaction has to become clearified.

So as you can see, Anet caused a reaction that i and probaply many other want to be clearified to. Infact revealing that Information for the recipes will do it just like that.
But by counterquestioning a reaction you will earn the exact reaction i showed you, because there is still much to learn in realife also. Does not mean i wanted to be offensive to you, but i simply wanted you to maybe see it for yourself.
Maybe you learned something now.

I have to disagree, no one has to respond, as Anet has shown so many times, they rarely care about the reaction they create.

It’s not that I disagree with your theory, I think they should give us some information, but this is Anet, to expect an answer is unrealistic, it’s better to expect to be ignored and be pleasantly surprised if they do answer.

All I see is that you made of your own definition for principle to boost your argument that Anet should reveal the information you wanted.

As much fun as this conversation is, and now that my lunch is about over, I’m going to take my leave from it.

My point is that there’s nothing wrong in a little mystery. Whether players know how legendary armor is crafted or not doesn’t put them in any advantage or disadvantage. It all comes down to Anet preferring that players discover some things for themselves which is part of the fun in all new content. It’s entirely up to Anet to decide if they want to reveal the mystery regarding how to craft legendary armor.

The reason i expect an answer (maybe i get one), is because Anet themself mentioned that there are still things to discover, from my side however, i expect that they should reveal the still open recipes to the community for free as a noble gesture.

And no i have not defined my own definition for a principle, just to give it a push, it is a form of experience that can help and act as a principle.
I cant make you see things, and i cant make you hear things… if you didnt understood what i was trying to tell you, i cant help, simple is that. For me this part ends here, because everything is answered that has to be said in your questions manner, from my part of view.

Detailing oppinions (as we both did) will mostly ends up in argueing, this time we both are experienced enough to stop right here

Will legendary Armor will be only lights and skin or stats too?

Shirlias.8104:

Will legendary Armor will be only lights and skin or stats too?

What do you mean by “lights and skins”

Anyways, it will have the same stats as Ascended armor but with the option to change the stat type on the fly. For example you can be running soldiers stats and should you choose to change you can do so to another armor type such as Clerics. It has to be a predetermined stat setup you can’t choose Power/Power/Power it has to fall in line with armor types that already exist.

Good ( so ascended equipment will remain top equipment forever and ever ).

You are right about Legendaries, but till they wont fix sigil/rune slot ( who cares about a “on crit” sigil if swap to soldier? or extra power if i swap condition? ), it will be useless as legendary weapons.

When they’ll let us add sigils/runes to legendary stuff and change em for free, i will think about making a full set.

edit: useless = meant for skin

The Final Question about Legendary Armor Is: Where are the screenshots ? i want to see them so bad lol

Better level up your crafting professions while prices are relatively low…
