well duh, a casual player shouldnt be able to get a legendary within months. IF thats the case, everyone will be running around with a legendary. Then they wouldn’t be legendary anymore, would they? a newly dinged 80 shouldn’t even be looking at legendaries, but rather normal rares and exotics. Its not like legendaries have any more stats than exotics, they are a want rather than a need. Nobody is forcing anyone to go after legendaries.
Please keep legendaries exclusive, tyvm.
You obviously didn’t pay attention to what I wrote.
I said that the average player wasn’t the intended target for a legendary BUT that the currenty entry-barrier for legendaries is obnoxiously high, even for the most dedicated no-lifer.
And I would hardly say that a guy averaging 3 hours/day every single day is casual. Far from it. He would be amongst the segment that should definitely have a shot at legendaries; 3 hours/day/365 days a year is not compatible with serious studies, family, career, work or whatever. It’s unsustainable. The hypothetical guy in my example would be a prime candidate for a legendary over considerable time. Considerable time, however, is not one year. As I said it’s an unsustainable model, particularly when alot of people exploited MF to acquire precursors early.
Right now, however, abovestated guy won’t have a regular shot at it. The entry barrier is so high he might as well not try, as it all hinges on MF luck and a volatile market.
Besides, how would you describe Average Joe playing 1 day/week who gets lucky and acquires a precursor? He could have just dinged 80 and acquired it. He might even – gosh, I know, it’s hard to fathom – be a casual player. Wow. Oh well, you’ve dictated he’s not the audience, so uhm… Yeah. Legendaries are skill and dedication y’know? Oh waitYou should reread what I wrote; would save you the time writing banalities and I wouldn’t have to endure repetition.
Average Joe would still have the rest of the materials to get, he still would not be able to get the legendary in months if he’s casual. My point still stands.
Of course; my point with the example was to show that legendary right now is not solely about dedication and a reasonably large time investment; it’s about luck and an obnoxious time-investment.
Besides, you conveniently ignored everything else – as well as the other post by Thrognar highlighting the problem in a coherent way. I can only assume you have no refutation for that.
Legendaries are OPTIONAL. They are only for the rich and dedicated. No, 3hrs a day is still fairly semi casual. There are people who play for 16 hrs a day. If you can’t afford the dedication they aren’t for you. Period.
Can only afford to spend 3hrs/day? You can still have your legendary, you just need to keep at it for a longer time. Don’t have the patience? well then don’t try. Legendaries are meant as a long-term goal, something to work on when you have the time.
Personally I’m not even aiming for them.
I completely agree with this guy. I play 2 or 3 hours a day and I’m not upset in the least that it might take me “forever” to get a legendary. They are basically one of each weapon skin (greatswords obviously the exception). There are hundreds of awesome skins out there I can be very happy with.
What would you do if you weren’t grinding for a legendary? If the answer is “not play” then you might want to decide if a zero stat increase cosmetic upgrade is worth that investment.
