Hi Everybody,
I just wanted to say now that everyone and their dogs is getting the Legendary weapons, some people even have many of them, and then everyone else that is too softcore for Legendary is Ascended now, we need a new top tier weapon for the best of the best, it would be the truly elite weapon like what Legendary used to be. There should be some weapon for the true elite that not everybody and their dogs is going to have.
I call it SUPER LEGENDARY class of weapons. Of course the name of the class does not matter, it could be called ASCENDED LEGENDARY or OF THE GODS or MAGIC AMAZING category too, doesn’t matter about that as long as it is an awesome name that shows it is the penultimate elite.
How does SUPER LEGENDARY class going to work:
If you are going to have a class of weapons that only the truly few and elite of all elite can hold, you have to be sure that most players will never have any chance to acquire it. It should be a big effort to get it, not like the easy way of getting Ascended weapons, or the semi-difficult way of getting Legendary weapons. More like a 2,000 hours of pure gameplay dedicated to getting this SUPER LEGENDARY weapon. For example, it would require not a mere 500 dragonite ore, but 1 million dragonite ore. Just one example. Another example: 5,000 unopened champion loot bags.
You have to bring them to a special blacksmith, of course it take at least 100 hours of gameplay running back and forth from different NPCs to “open” that blacksmith. The noobs cannot even talk to the blacksmith, haha, only the true elites. Of course all those mats will take a lot of room, but true elites have full maximum storage capacity purchasable with gems (this would pretty much be requirement) and then you can give some stuff to the blacksmith that he will keep in queue until you build up enough for your SUPER LEGENDARY weapon, such as that dragonite ore if it is one million.
Obviously, you cannot have a Super Legendary weapon without true reward to honor the effort and work that went into it. For example, it would not a huge stat bonus compared to other players, but at least 25% stat and damage bonus more than Legendary weapons. Everyone on the screen should know that they are in the presence of a true super legend when you hold this weapon, after all it took more than like 2,000 hours of work to obtain. The Super Legendary weapon would glow with a blinding beacon of light that shines all the way to the sky, it should be visible to anyone anywhere on the map. And it would be prominently marked on the map like commander tag, but look much cooler, everyone should know if they are in the presence of a truly elite SUPER LEGEND that has managed to craft such an incredible weapon. Of course footfalls should trail like with LEgendary weapon, but they should be bigger, like each footstep the size of a Dolyak caravan, and each time your foot hits the ground the screen would shake for all characters within 1500 range. Now they know they are playing with power! When you kill someone with this, there is an amazing Finishing Move animation and it says on the mini map for the whole map (sort of like commander tag) “Slaughtered by Legend” just in tiny letters really fast.
Of course if you do that much work to make a Super Legendary weapon you should not just be left out in the cold with Account Bound crap. What if you decided you made the wrong one and you want to make Hammer instead of Greatsword? You should be able to sell it on Trakitten ost, probably for like 500 million gold I guess, but you can set your own price.
Ok, that’s what I wanted to say. This isn’t only a discussion about Super Legendary weapon, the bigger issue is how Legendary weapon is so common now and it is needed to have a true elite set of weapons of the true legends in this game. It’s almost a joke now that everyone has Legendary, you should change the name in game to “Legendary” with those quote marks, haha.
Thanks!
