Guild Wars 2

why force us to grind out 19 mastery points and a massive amount of xp in Tyria if we want the new HoT legendaries?

This design decision makes absolutely no sense and IMO is even worse than the HP fiasco.

I want to play the new content and not be forced into grinding Vanilla GW2.

I love HoT, but this sucks any sort of joy out of the game for me.

Really… you are going to complain about having to go into Tyria to get a Legendary? You should likely already know that, once you decide to go down the path of a legendary, its gonna ask you to do things you may not want to do. You have two options: suck it up and go for it, or just ignore the legendary entirely. The treasure hunt for Legendaries is a whole hell of a lot better than mindlessly grinding dungeons or playing arbitrage on the TP to buy it. Just accept that as the cost of entry to obtain the most elite stuff from the game.

Legendaries are, and always have been, intended to require you go go all over the game, and spend lots of time and money to acquire.

That’s why they’re completely optional equipment that isn’t technically better than the much easier to acquire ascended equivalent in terms of raw character power.

Somehow, I don’t think this one’s got the legs that the Elite Spec issue had.

If we cry loud enough then Anet will change it.

Pretty sure most players are OK with the difficulty of getting a legendary as it is completely optional in every sense of the word optional. Plus, for the past 3 years, we’ve all been conditioned already (and Anet has been consistent on this) with the difficulty in obtaining Legendaries. The new spec is an entirely different beast and trying to make them analogous is horseshoes and hand grenades.

Oh that’s like nails on a chalk board for me, lol.

Why do you need it as soon as humanly possible? Why not do some vanilla events or level an alt every now and again until you get bored and then do something else.
No one is putting a gun to your head and telling you it’s all you need to do all day every day.
Yeah legendaries are a grind, nothing new here, do it while it’s fun or at least bearable and you’ll eventually have it. It’s a game after all, no need to make it into a job.

I had expected the precursor hunt to be a time-sink, but not a money sink. The crafting requirements for Dawn I are insanely high, but you know what? I can be very patient, and I can sit back and enjoy the time that it’s going to take me (even with the time gating) to get all of my materials in line. And in the meantime, I won’t mind it at all if I have to play parts of the game that I don’t normally frequent (PvP and WvW). Who knows, I may even begin to like it.

It’s all in how you frame the situation in your mind.

Lead on, and we’ll see what happens.
