Hello,
I dont think you need a cookie cutter build, specially cause that would mean using the same weapon/utility over and over.
That doesnt happen.
I ran ac story with 4 people that had no idea what to expect or do there, i was the only one. We never wiped once. And during the lovers only two got defeated ( me included) and ha to gy run back.
Why? How? Cause they listened.
No one changed their +power trait line, or any orher traits, they listened and quickly knew what to do during the fights. The only change of note was for the necro boss, where I suggested equipping condition removal utility, they did, not a single person died ( from damage or conditions).
Speccing vit and/or thoughness , sure helps, but only when your learning the encounter, after that your better off with pure dpsing or even a balanced approach, cause you already know what to do, therefor not needing that lifeline.
Tldr : use vit and though when learning, theyre not mandatory by any chance.
Well then I revert to my prior statement. Grinding all that time and effort for something that is nothing more than a skin is not fun to me. If a Legendary is truly legendary in power and not just appearance then it is awesome!
I mean hey if I want to play a purely skill based game I wouldn’t be playing this game at all. LoL is a skill based game with a very steep leveling curve and it is free.
I was hoping this game would have unique PvE items that allow you make custom builds otherwise what is the point in the long run? Play dress up to show off my skill? Grinding isn’t skill…it is grinding.
Then i really am sorry to say that, you shouldve researched the game and its goals better.
So if I don’t want to be the best player or strive to be the most skilled player than Guild Wars 2 isn’t for me?
Youll have to explain me that one, sorry. Totally lost me
If I don’t want to strive for skins to show off my leetness. I mean I personally don’t care to get a legendary for the skins only. That to me is a complete and utter waste of time. To me personally it is.
I want to get weapons and gear with special affixes or procs that are fun and allow the building of a special build for my profession. Just grinding for tokens in a dungeon to get gear that is only for a skin seems boring. I don’t care what others think of me nor do I want to show it off. I simply want to make the most of the game and have all the fun I can with it. So obtaining skins aren’t fun, and thus this makes the legendary’s completely pointless.
So basicaly, you want stats?
Then legendary seeking is not for you, no.
If you mean stat progression over exotics, thrn your correct aswell, gw2 is most probably not for you either.
Yes exactly I want stats that have custom things they can do that are fun. Basically they would say allow for all the stats exotics can have but one additional as well that provides a fun unique benefit to the wielder of it.
I don’t understand how an action RPG can’t want to provide unique loot with interesting stats, especially something that is called a Legendary. It makes no sense to me, but hey it is there game…
Again, you lost me.
You keep saying you want stats, yet you mention something unique.
I can work with that last part.
Instead of stats, have the legendary unlock you a special dance? And emote? Make everyone around you a random critter for 30seconds?
That i agree with. Would even vote for .
Increased stats ? You wont ever get me aboard that train .
No, it would have the stats every exotic weapon has, and in addition it would say drop elites (like legendary city guards) from your respective race to fight by your side for X seconds (can’t proc more than 1 time every 3 minutes). You must not play action rpg’s I guess.
The stats themselves would not be higher than what appears on an exotic weapon however. They wouldn’t be raised simply cause the weapon is legendary. But each legendary would have an awesome ability unique to each one. Not something pointless like summons critters or whatever, but something that makes you powerful in PvE!
Again, in town and out of combat, i agree.
But that idea for actual combat is not GW2.
Why not introduce item rating while your at it ?
I can see it already, “lfg Ac explo, be legendary or dont bother”.
Bring the player, not the math.
I ran AC with two lvl 25( other was 28), we cleared it (story mode), better than with 30+.
its a skill based game, knowing what your fighting and how to counter.
Im all in favour of fluff. But not infl favour of something that is a deal breaker, as it would render every other gear useless and pointless.
Cosmetic/fluff = hell yeah!

Edit : if you manage to put that apart, and redesign the concept of best/better player to something along the lines of “most adaptive, coordinated” player, then guild wars2 has a chance to retain you as a player.
Bigger stats != better player. Even if the item is named legen-
Wait for it.

My lvl 80 character can go to low level zones and decimate everything around her. It works when your gear is not perfect and your only a few lvls above a zone. Once you max out though and are wearing all masterful or higher gear.. You make a mess of those mobs.
Doesnt matter the gear.
Its the traits that remain.
Again, I strongly believe its fine as it is..
Are you level 80? Are you decked out in decent gear?
The gear stats is adjusted to lvl. That much works.
Read again what i posted.
But a small stat gain would be nice, even if abysmal, to see that you have higher numbers on your weapon compared to others does make you feel like you achieved more.
why oO ?
Thats the main question isnt it?
Why do you feel like the item need better stats on a game that promotes skill?
Its a UNIQUE skin. It shows you worked for it. You did what others only wish they could do.
Why give it more stats?
Its not a stat/gear based game.
Wow… check out the pencil measuring up in here. Lctl.6198 your arguement is invalid because I have all the traits of your “victim” who apparently cant play a game from a competitive level. My guild must also be a write off because we are the top guild on our server yet we have people with all careers ranging from desk jobs to military and families as simple as basic marriages to people with kids who are handicapped. Obviously we all have no lives.
I also don’t see how “legendaries” = no life. It’s extremely easy to achieve overtime in regards to all the items required are easily solo able minus dungeons which are easily group able. The only “difficult” factors is its a giant time sink with a RNG powering it.
My arguement is that it is too great of a “Time Sink” for the stat reward. In regards to Archer.6485: that would be on the weapon. Considering all the other stats on your character it would equalize to maybe 3% more then everybody else which is tiny as heck and not game breaking at all.
Lastly, given the amount of time spent gaming in general our natural reflexes and pvp experience allow us to steam roll people anyway so i fail to grasp how 3% stat is going to drastically change anything or cause us to steam roll “that much” more efficiently.
Wowa, easy there mate.
First of all, what exactly is your point then?
First you want legendaries to be uber-1337 weapons of mass destruction, not just skins.
Then You finish saying yout natural reflexes allow you to kill anyone anyway?
Wha?
Mate, its simple. The game is not gear based , and i hope it never will.
Legendaries != no life, not like theyre atm. They would be for the measure you wish they were.
Stop playing the game for gear, start playing it for the skill you so eagerly boost you have.
Kudos to you and your guild. Now leave a cosmetic part of the game alone, and dont force changes where theyre not needed.
And before you say “who da fudge are you to tell ME how to play the game”, im merely reinforcing what GW2 is using Anet own words ( and hoping not to distort them too much).
So again, if your so godlike at this, why not settle for the skin showing how awesome you are)

Unless I’m mistaken… When were legendaries just a “skin”? They’re a tier higher than exotics, better stats.
So far ive yet to see evidence on this:(
The only thing of notice is a rumor on 10% better stats.
For all other info, they retain exotic stats with a unique skin.
I have no problem with being more powerfull when downscaled.
What would be the point of lvling and gear then? Might aswell as remove levels and gear, and have people match the zones upon entering.
Part of the point of leveling is to gain access to more areas and thus more variety of adventures. You can play in more areas of the world without being instantly killed. Experience more of the story. Advance your crafting professions by more easily accessing advanced crafting resources. Expand your wealth. Etc.
If you’re looking a system where you can completely decimate anything that’s lower level than you in combat, then GW2 probably isn’t the game for you. This game was always supposed to be more about personal skill than gear. But if the gear/stats are allowing you to cut through lower level mobs like butter, than how does personal skill ever get the opportunity to matter? Every fight in this game is supposed to be a challenge, not just the ones that vastly out-class your character’s true level. Every fight, even the level 10 ones.
I like to come back and feel slighty more powerful. The difference isnt that big, nor game breaking.
The problem is the difference is that big. While you are far from being immortal and unstoppable, you are also far from being just “slightly” more powerful. And I would argue that it can be game breaking. When difficult zone-events (that are supposed to be epic) are made trivial by the presence of higher level players who aren’t being scaled down nearly enough, that is game breaking from the perspective of the appropriate level player.
Think the system is fine, even if sometimes it downscales me too much( makes me lvl6 against lvl 9/10 mobs. Oh joy :p).
That only happens when there are so many players present in an event that the difficulty of the event scales upwards. Even then, while you’re running around on a scaled down level 6 superhuman, imagine how the true level 6 players are faring against those same opponents.
I honestly think your overreacting on this . Sorry :/
Like i stated, i do feel slightly morr powerful, things die easier, but its not nearly a rotflolstomp. Far from it. I merely gave an example.
It was said above, later lvls mobs even out , making them harder, the first zones are just that, introductory zones.
Make no mistake, i love downscaling, i just believe the downscaling youre seeking makes no sense, even on a game like GW2. As it would remove the sense of lvling , gear( already downscaled to the top stats of the lvl youre downscaled to) and traits.
Traits. This is where your allowed to beef yourself up when downscaled, as you retain the traits ( at least the passives).
Note, this system is to help and attenuate playing with others without ruining THEIR experience. Its a bonus for higer lvls, and a blessing for lower lvls.
I would like to see some of this listed evidence showing that people have this stuff. I have kudzu, both gift of wood & gift of nature and the bloodstone shard and I had a ton of time off work in between release and now. I was the second guy to 80 on my server and currently the best geared most achieving Ranger on the server and I am not even close to getting my legendary yet. Who are all these alleged people getting this stuff who are magically not posting any screen shots of their weapons or bragging at all.
Much less the fact that people are still clueless as to how to complete the weapons.
Lastly, “Lctl.6198” Yes that is the point i’m making. Only elite/hardcore people should benefit for being elite and hardcore… like every other game.
Then im sorry, your chasing the wrong carrot.
The best gear is attainable even by the idiot with a full time job requiring extra hours now and then, while managing the kid school schedule, the kid playtime and family fun( sounds familiar……..).
So I am not sorry to say guild wars2 is not a game where a select elite steamrolls everyone because they have more time than the poor jerk above.
Just cause it seems you like to do so, doesnt mean it should be. GW2 is not “every other game”.
And im very glad for that.
Edit : in reply to your edit, yes it is very much so entitled to be named legendary due to the sheer fact its so hard to get. That alone will net awe from others. The fact you ( in theory) worked your socks off to get it.
It should not, ever ( a slight power increase im ok with tbh, like going from 900-1000 base dmg to 914-1015 on a sword for exmple), allow you to be extra powerful against anyone, be it on pve or pvp.
Thats not what the game is about.
(edited by Lctl.6198)
Why sell to an npc, when someone , somewhere, can use it?
Thats odd, screenshots? Last i saw during tests was legendaries having same stats as exotics.
Got screenies?
Why? So only an elite hardcore % of players benefit from it?
Making it only cosmetic is more than enough for prestige. Why would want to feel superior to others above that?
The game was not designed for a gear progression system, nor it should be., as its not its selling point.
I strongly believe legendaries should be a pita to get. I dont even care if i never touch one, but ill sure pat the guy’ wearing one.

Also, the cost of waypoints doesnt bother me. Theyre a luxury, not forced upon you. If you dont want to spend 10s to play with your friend, either your lazy to travel or he aint that much of a friend to begin with :p ( yah, i know, thats harsh. Still… Traveling is simple and cheap when you want to).
Think the system is fine, even if sometimes it downscales me too much( makes me lvl6 against lvl 9/10 mobs. Oh joy :p).
Gray: What a great pro tip right there! Do you want to know why that is? It’s because when you get into the overflow you get pushed to ANY server that has free space, that includes the other language servers. Stop saying “protip” when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
says the guy who probably never actually played on a german or french server (so has no clue what languages are spoken there – and I’m not talking about overflow), has no understanding what the language tag in the world selection actually means nor how it is enforced.
you’re right, it’s not actually “pro”. it basic common sense.
Gray, thr problem here is simple, if people arent speaking german or french on a respectively flagged world, thats a breach in conduct for that said world and its -rules-.
However, what anet is saying here, is that, that rule is not valid for english.
Do you understand the difference mate?
On a DE/FR world, even if they dont always speak those languages, its implied as a rule that those are the languages to be used.
That, apperently, is not the case with non-marked worlds.
By default non marked worlds have a moderated rule of “speak preferebly english”. Im not forcing people to only speaking english, but without this rule, people will just do whatever they want without minimum respect. Because they CAN.
Im fine with guild recruitment, the occasional chat in swe/rus wtv. Im not fine, however, on having my realm spammed to death in every language other than english. Just cause they CAN.
I would like to request EN worlds then.
Makes no sense to have non-marked worlds a free to speak whatever you want, yet have DE/FR worlds where you have to speak said languages ( im talking map chat.).
Again, if this is the policy adopted for non-marked worlds, i want to see EN worlds, and an extended free migration to those worlds.
Has nobody here heard the mesmer mind control theory? :O There is one! It goes: Logan didn’t care much about royalty et cetera until he met Queen Jennah face to face. His own brother asks if she mesmer-whammies him and she says no, but she did. So Logan’s choice wasn’t so much a choice as it was, well, a result of being mind-whammied.
Yes, I have thought about this aswell.
Honestly, it’s the only thing that would turn me from a Logan MUST die into a Logan has a chance to redeem himself.
Anything less, off with his head
Ultimely, she blames eir for not telling logan to stay. Before he leaves, she had a chance to tell hom to stay , she didnt.
Thus blaming eir and not logan, even if he IS the culprit for snuffs demise.
After all, it was logan’s task to protect snuff, with logan gone….. Yeah. I hate logan.
I believe jennah handled herself quite well.
More to the point, she panicked, he made a bad call. They lost two precious allies and destroyed an even more powerful weapon , Destiny Edge.
Their warband/guild gave Tyria hope , something that had been lacking for a long time. People were rallying to fight the dragons behind Destiny Edge.
Now its up to us to give hope to tyria.
In a gameplay perspective, it HAD to happen.
Also, i think the book feeling semi rushed on thr whole romance between logan and jennah, doesnt help his image. Even anet admitted that we should see their relationship as something powerful and reaching for Romeo/juliet. Not that " OMFG I Want her! Omfg she gave me her snot tissue!!!!" that we end up reading in the book.
On a personal level? If there ever is a Chance to murder logan in game, i would, in a heartbeat.
That sentence from rytlock during The fight When logan is about to leave, says it all.
