Guild Wars 2

Getting your Legendary Weapon means doing everything the game has on offer. Crafting, Exploration, Quests, Boss Events, and yes, WvW. Server colors rotate weekly so even if you have a terrible server it should be possible to get your map completion done in a month or so.

This post just smacks of laziness though. If you really need a vista or PoI in WvW, get your guildies and friends together, and go get it. I am really glad at the very least you can’t guest on the WvW maps like people do for Balthazar to get Obsidian Shards. The reason Balthazar gives Shards is BECAUSE its hard. Its the reward/incentive for doing it. Guesting off other peoples work just seems silly, and boring. The whole point of the Legendary weapon is to play the game, and the Gift of Exploration/Gift of Battle requires that you do the WvW portion of it. So go on, do it! Taking Keeps and Towers is not as hard as you are making it out to be. I’m usually inside every tower/keep on all 4 maps at some point or another during a match up.

Seriously… such a TINY part of making a legendary. Why not ask why it’s so very PvE slanted instead of whining about the small WvW component.

Why is such a huge part of the exploration needed in PvE?

Seriously, I get all my WvW maps completed quickly. I don’t care to have to do all that PvE to get my completions. All I should have to do is the WvW maps. I get enought PvE with the guards and such in WvW.

It’s a kitten-sight easier to clear a WvW map than it is to get completion in Orr.

It never occurred to me to worry about it, I just wandered about with the zerg and took the vistas and skill points when we passed through. It’s especially easy with the new match-up system because your colour gets changed nearly every week.

BTW – s’funny – but I find PvE is just annoying.

Why is so much PvE needed for a legendary?

I think part of the problem is they’re wanting to map all of the WvW maps in 1 day. It’s not hard to do if you let your WvW mapping spread out over the whole duration of your legendary farming.
