Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

so we all know by now that Legendary Armor will come with a Precursor. That in mind i looked at That_shaman youtube channel again and saw that all the armors we have right now that most likely would fit as Precursor and Legendary : Light Armor , Medium Armor , but the Heavy Armor doesnt show the Precursor model but could very be the Legendary also, because if you look at Medium Armor and Heavy, you see that the headgear features 2 horns, that would indicate a possibility.

these looks too lame to be legendary, even with particle effects which they should have

looks like crap for a legendary armor

Those clips are almost a year old. I hardly doubt they were working on Legendary Armor back then. And yeah, those look lame for a legendary.

I won’t be satisfied with legendary armor until I see that it glows like the freaking sun and you have a cape that is carried by harpies while you walk at least

~Every other Guild Wars 2 player, regardless of what it will look like.

Well if you look at the other armors , they are also 8- 10 month old and where also just recently released about 1-2 month ago.. so yeah they have worked on them already if thease are the armors for legendary.

Just so you guys know.. legendary backpieces looks like crap. Wont be surprised if legendary armor will look like crap as well.

Not like it matters, people will still use outfits :P

Needs more particle effects.

I like those armors. They don’t look legendary, but a non trenchcoat top for my engi and nice trousers are always welcome. I hope they’ll be obtainable for a casual, though (read as “I hope they are not legendary”).

Yeesh i hope not. I expect them to look something like the radiant/hellfire sets.

Also why the heck did they lock those sets behind so many kitten APs? Nobody is ever going to unlock them.

36 people have crossed the 30k achievement mark on American and Eu regions combined.

Which means 36 people potentially already have 1 of the 2 achievement sets complete.
Unless they took the chestpiece from one and trousers from another

36 people in every region combined 3 years after release is not exactly a lot. I suppose this number will grow, but it seems that right now only the most hardcore that have worked on AP since the very beginning have a prayer. The average player will never see these.

Impossible was an exaggeration of course, but it is pretty crazy how few people have these and how hard they are to get in comparison to the supposed “legendaries”.

If that heavy helm is on legendary armor – it’ll be just sad. It looks abysmally bad.

Its not awesome, but I think it’s better than a lot of the ..uh…more recent ones…

I really, really hope those are not the Legendary Armor. Because I like a lot of it. Especially the boots…. I want those boots. And if it is Legendary, I have no chance.

light / med looks like the armor your character starts with lol. oh well, i like the heavy set at least

but honestly they look like something we’d have seen in gw1, with the precursor/leg being similar to 1.5k armor to 15k armor

FWIW, my theory is that they’ve kept it this way to retain the players who are competing for achievement point leaderboards, some of whom invest a lot of time (and probably money) into the game. In other words, it is most likely a source of revenue that they see no point in disrupting.

Considering we’ve waited 3+ years for legendary armor I would be terribly upset if that was the actual helm.

I mean – come on – yes it’s not as terrible as some of the recent releases but while the whole of it looks fine the hons absolutely ruin it.

Why does every decent piece of heavy headgear come with huge over the top tidbits attached to it? Like huge horns, huge spikes, huge whatever else?

Why can’t we have a nice closed heavy helm that doesn’t have all the useless tidbits on top of it? Here’s some art they already have for an example.

Look at how clean and beautiful it looks and compare it to some of the in-game heavy helms..
In fact – a whole set like that would be amazing.

I think it looks nice. It’s not too over the top, and it has lots of detail. I’d be totally good with this being the precursor armor.

I don’t want to look like a glowing mass of insanity.

Those are the first two levels of the precursor journey most likely. The recent blog explained that you don’t get a precursor as a drop. You unlock a mastry track. if the current mastries are any indication there whould be an additional third tier, followed by the finished legendary, which adds the shininess.

These being armor skins, it may even be possible that there are more than three precursor ranks.
