Personally I think they should only drop from match win reward chest. So if you see someone with a legendary. You know he wins a lot tpvp matches, and just doesn’t grind hotjoins.
Plus this will get more people to play tpvp.

PvE Legendary is grindy anyways.
4x Necromancer, 3x Mesmer, 4x Guardian, 4x Thief, 4 Revenant
Hope the drop rate for these shards is much higher in the match win reward chests and the upper level rank reward chests. Would not be right that a rank 10-20 hotjoin player can get the same chance of obtaining a legendary as a rank 50-60 tourney player.

No, just every1 got a chance, like in pve. But they should be avaible for ppl eg who won 1500 or more tournament matches. Nothing for sure that can be farmed in hot joins.

i will stop opening my chest from now on…
its troll. read the finishers xD
finally all my stacks of chests will be useful
Why would arenanet release the pvp legendaries before the full reward system has been introduced? I’ve been saving all my rank and match win rewards chests in the hopes that these will actually be worth something in the new system. And yet, to get a legendary I’ll be forced to use a substantial amount of these items. That means I’ll lose out on any potential future improvements to pvp rewards…
Anet can’t release pvp legendaries without telling us their plans for the new system. If glory and rank/match win chests are to continue to be utterly worthless, then I can see why I should go for the legendary now rather than later. But if that’s the case, none of our work/savings over the past months are going to be rewarded retroactively. How arenanet could do this to their loyal pvp playerbase, I cannot fathom.
However, if indeed there are going to be improvements, then it’ll simply be a waste to go after the legendary when they release them. And if that’s the case, why give us the legendaries before reworking the entire system? This is an unnecessary temptation that will force us to sink everything we’ve earned up to this point for nothing more than a cosmetic skin. This is an unjustifiable mistake, however you look at it.
Arenanet please:
1. Release details about the pvp reward system before you release pvp legendaries.
2. Do not disrespect the pvp community by introducing a completely new system that will disregard all pre-existing pvp currencies/materials/chests.
3. Do not release pvp legendaries until the new pvp reward system is complete.

You guys need to stop trying to force people into tpvp. There are reasons it has a miniscule population. Those reasons don’t magically go away just because you force people to play it. If you want more people to play tpvp, encourage anet to make it suck less kitten, and then people will actually want to play it. The legendaries should be attainable from every form of spvp.
Maguuma
its troll. read the finishers xD
Who wouldn’t want a cute Quaggan finisher? I’d soo buy it.
Combined with the rainbowpony bow this would make pvp visuals pretty epic.
i wouldn´t – quaggan are fat emos with anoying voice
That’s like saying manatees are emo, which makes no sense.
its troll. read the finishers xD
those finishers have already been datamined from the game since last patch,
they are real.
eww pvp legendaries for everyone, whelp guess it isn’t called “carebears 2” for nothing.
twitch.tv/legendarylukeee
will saved chests include shards for legendaries if you open them after patch?
The reddit thread that came from seems to be pretty heavily convinced that those patch notes are more or less fake.
I’ll be honest I think this is a really dumb way of doing it. More time>skill stuff.
really bad engineer

“thing you’ll see before years end”
-Less particle
-legendary weapons
Already conflict there. legendary weapons produce the most particle effect
response on forum from dev to question;
“How are the end of year things going?”
“A lot are looking good, but the change in legendary creation will not make the dead line. It might be mid next year before those make the cut. We’re not sure.”
What we’ve seen so far;
No reduction in particle, instead an increase with with different finishers from 8bit mushroom clouds, assassins, ogre’s and the like.
I have little faith.

Agreed. Considering I usually wait 20-40 minutes for soloq/tpvp that means it will take probably 5 years before I’m even half way towards a weapon that will only add a tonne more particle than is needed.
Again if we look at what players asked for and what we’ve got it is depressing.
We asked silver/gold/gems
Armour skins to reside in a store that can be purchased
exp for PvE leveling
karma
We get shards..another shard based objective that is achieved through hours/grind played.
I for one welcome everyone running around with shiney orange greatswords swinging at a gate for 30+ minutes just like in WvW. . . !
previously rank 2 on old leaderboards
EG.secret.OG.NAVI.sorrychief
Complaints incoming:
1: omfg the greatswords animations are kittened over the top esp on norn/charr. If I see those in a middle fight I shall be straight up kitten ed/wondering how A-net could be that kittened.
2: wtf happened to my 850 win chests I LOST when I xfered to EU….Or the amazing no chest win bug that hasnt been fixed in a YEAR.
3: If rank 1-40 get access to legendaries I’ll be kitten ed as well.
4: 2-h legendaries should be far more expensive than 1-h.
5: Engineers should get something done to our kit swapping (personal preference)/hobosack. (AE kit legendaries effects? of course limited particle effects)
6: This better not cost ANY part of pve farming to receive one.
Am I missing anything?

If you want a rank requirement, won’t that just drive people into
even more skyhammer farming?
please just make all auras/footsteps/trails disappear in combat.
jk i don’t get any chests in pvp due to transfer bug…. :/
[Teef] guild :>
Maybe not rank 40 wb 30?honestly skyhammer farming needs fixed but thats a seperate issue.

How are they forcing people into it? You can use glory to buy rank reward chests…
sound logic…
I do not think it is fake information. A few days ago someone linked shard ingame during turnament and it had exchange for legendary information on it.
I can only imagine internal dev meetings where they have* to assume extremes, the 500+ tpvp chest holders and the glory holders (1mil+), assuming there is a “fair” rng which will never be the case for every person, I assume the drop rate will be small enough that threads like, “I have 400 tourny chests and I don’t get 1 shard” are soon to pop soon.
Please ArenaNet do not do this… If these patch notes are true it will be the end of PvP…
Do not make the same error with legendaries in PvP as you did in PvP…
Aquiring them should in no way have a “grindy” feel…
This means that time spent ingame = legendary… Legendaries won’t even represent your SKILL, but it will represent how often you play… Wich is just awfull !
I have already thought out a nice “reward system” regarding legendaries only. Will post. These changes can not go through….
“1: omfg the greatswords animations are kittened over the top esp on norn/charr. If I see those in a middle fight I shall be straight up kitten ed/wondering how A-net could be that kittened.” this
“3: If rank 1-40 get access to legendaries I’ll be kitten ed as well.” this
“6: This better not cost ANY part of pve farming to receive one.” very much this

“Shard collectors have been added to the Heart of the Mist near the glory vendors. These vendors accept Shards of Legend for legendary PvP weapons and other rare items.”
It may mean armor sets like nightmare or other rare skins like Vision of the Mists, Cobalt, Lyss, Aether etc?

40 is a good place to start, if you want to equate time invested, the requirement would be much less than 40. MUCH less.

I can’t wait for PVP legendaries, I hope soon!!
“thing you’ll see before years end”
-Less particle
-legendary weaponsAlready conflict there. legendary weapons produce the most particle effect
Thats a pretty unfair assumption to make, that those two are exclusive to one another.
Also some dude having a purple shine on a weapon isnt going to distract or clog up the screen like every skill having a purple explosion of legendary proportions.

Have you ever seen a norn with twilight/the other one use hundred blade? You cant see anything anywhere near that 300+ radius. Just massive massive particle spam.

Norns in pvp?
Let’s be serious now

If you want more people to play tpvp, encourage anet to make it suck less kitten, and then people will actually want to play it. The legendaries should be attainable from every form of spvp.
I don’t get this logic. If you want a pve legendary you are forced to run dungeons unless you intend to farm gold for the rest of your life or buy it with your credit card. Now in pvp people who don’t play tournaments should never get a legendary.
The shards need to be tied to tournament win chests. If you can get the shards from rank chests, ANet may as well give all the Skyhammer farmers a legendary of their choice.
