I like that the legendary weapons are not THEMED like the exotics you can get from the dungeon or skins we have so far are. Each has it’s own identity and no two (well the GSs are similar, which is something I hope doesn’t happen this next go round) are alike.

Okay.

PlagueParade.7942:

Short Bow: I liked the idea of The Dreamer so how about an evil version of this (The Nightmare). Instead of a unicorn shooting out leaving streaks of rainbows you have a black nightmare horse blazing out with a death rattle like neigh leaving a trail of fire and your foot prints are hoof prints of fire and scorch marks.

Changed your mind that fast, huh?

^_______^

…?

I fail to see how having the opposite of that shortbow is “themed.” And I was talking about the GS weapons not the SB. You sir are trolling. =oP A lot of people wanted an sb that shot dragons and what not so, yea one that shoots nightmare horses would be a darker version that others might get on board with.

Xista.7391:

A joke version of the greatsword ( ponies, sparkles, etc ).

I would love to see the rage by all of warriors on the forums.

I would so want that for my guardian norn.

Crossaber.8934:

Ever game has RNG, and i can live with that. I got over 1k hour in this game, 7 lv80 and only below 10 times i got exotic gear as drops. Therefore i have give up legendary and working slowly towards ascended weapon.

But RNG is RNG, i got a DAWN from a lv60 shark 2 days ago.

Hehehe nice gratz.

I lucked out with Dawn in the forge back in early November. Spent less than 50g total probably a lot less I never keep track of this kinda thing would get depressing.

I’ve been enjoying pvp a lot (can’t wait for legendary weapons to be in there) and am trying to get into wvw to enjoy my legendary weps more. Otherwise getting ready to for ascended armor and making my next legendary (hopefully one of the new ones).

I like the legendary weps we have so far. A lot of them are quite ingenious but it got me wondering what the next ones will look like. One thing I hope they keep is their separateness from one another. I like that the legendary weapons are not THEMED like the exotics you can get from the dungeon or skins we have so far are. Each has it’s own identity and no two (well the GSs are similar, which is something I hope doesn’t happen this next go round) are alike. So, what will the next ones look like? What would you like the legendary weapon you want to look like? I would like to see what ideas you come up with on the next legendary weapons and how creative and out of the box design they might have.

Staff: (Lich) ghostly like weapon, more like holding fog shaped like a staff (think of the ghastly grinning shield type black smoke movements) that also makes your character a ghost (eat a strawberry ghost for reference) making a fog like trail behind you as you move. Whenever you use a skill it’s a skeletal ghost erupting out.

Hammer: (Titan) I’d like a hammer with a much larger head on top with a large spike going through either face end, a weapon forged in the depths of an erupting volcano. And when you move your foot prints leave large cracks in the ground spewing lava. And when you swing your weapon it makes a loud noise like a volcano erupting.

Short Bow: I liked the idea of The Dreamer so how about an evil version of this (The Nightmare). Instead of a unicorn shooting out leaving streaks of rainbows you have a black nightmare horse blazing out with a death rattle like neigh leaving a trail of fire and your foot prints are hoof prints of fire and scorch marks.

Rifle: (Catalyst) A futuristic weapon that blasts energy and I don’t mean something like the puny star wars laser shots but something larger and more intense that give a reason for an engineer to be knocked back with that skill of theirs. Instead of foot prints your movement elongates you, pretty much making you streak while moving, like how you see twilight or sunrise leave streaks when being swung.

Shield: (Mirror of Souls) In line with the great swords what you see within is not the universe or the sky rather you see the mists and the silhouettes of all the souls that reside within creeping about.

Great Sword: (Tidal) A weapon of the sea. You hold a weapon of Poseidon. The blade is made of rippling water maybe even have a fish or two jump out of the blade to splash back within a moment later or even shark fins poking out circling about. When you swing it water streaks behind and when you move spouts of water splash beneath your feet drowning the earth.

Longbow: (Meteor) A bow made just multicolored stars not like twilight but of physical stars floating in your hand. When you fire it you shoot meteors and when a ranger uses their aoe a meteor shower falls onto its victims. When you move those same multi-colored stars are left on the ground.

Well, these are some ideas I had so what are yours (Not suggestions as to how they should look, so hopefully this won’t just get tossed in the suggestions thread)? I’m sure everyone has had an idea of a legendary they would like to make. What would yours be?

So, we are nearing the end of Halloween and, if I recall correctly, Mad King’s Dungeon appeared near the end for a day or two. This event looked like a lot of fun. I never got a chance to play this last time since my comp was getting fixed but I am hoping it does. I know a lot of people were disappointed that the old skins did not return this go round so now I am hoping that if this dungeon returns they will keep the old skins as a drop (in truth it would have been kind of neat if the mobs using the old skins in the labyrinth had a chance at dropping them). They were not that high of a drop rate to begin with and I think something like this would be a great way for people to have a chance at getting one again. It is a long shot but I do hope they allow it. Well Guess we will find out tomorrow.

Alright, is there something I’m missing here? Why do you have sup. sigil of paralysis on both your swords they don’t stack, never have (or round up (anylonger)) and it works with both swords just having the one so it seems you’re wasting a sigil….

MeGaZlo.9516:

Speaking of realism, the greatswords in this game are huge. A piece of metal weighing 150 + pounds just impossable to keep on weight, so as do the male characters in this game. Therefore much more likely to argue that men are too strong, but not women are not strong enough.

Actually the avg. weight of a great sword is around 5-7 lbs.

As to the OPs question, nah, I like how they look holding them. I don’t think it makes them look weak at all they look pretty awesome in that pose to me.

My warrior pvp, pve/wvw look.
And my pvp Norn Guard

Really? My topic about being curious if the weapons the krait here is something we may be able to use ourselves got merged? Or is it because of these weapons that this krait is glowing and this is the reason why the mod who merged my topic here may be trying to tell us.

The weapons themselves ARE legendary BUT how you acquire them, either making them in-game or buying them with real cash, is not. Imho there is nothing legendary on how you make them and part of this atm the acquisition of the precursor which most people probably have to buy from the TP and rarely luck out on in a drop or from a chest.

I have to admit though, I’m kind of hard pressed as to how one would go about being able to acquire a legendary weapon through legendary means.

The inside could be a dungeon and jp together. That’d be kinda neat.

Delvoire.8930:

Darkorical.9213:

Heart of the Tower = an ancient Krait relic with lots of history that sparks interest of fractal researchers and leads to a new krait based fractal

Now you’re talking crazy. We are still waiting on the fractal Elen Keil promised us months ago….

This was said to be coming out near the end of the year or early next year if I recall.

This weapon looks good I wonder if we’ll be able to use them ourselves.

They keep saying “nightmare” in there and it does look like a lot of thorny vines are within. This does sorta seem like the nightmare court, if not Scarlet, are a part of this as well.

A male norn without a beard or mustache? Impossible! You, dear sir, are just an overweight human. =oP

For spvp, yea asura is best. As someone said above it’s a bit harder to tell the difference between their skills.

For pve/wvw well you just have to ask yourself if you want to blend in (human or sylvari) or stand out more (norn, charr, or asura (yes, for me, I notice the little people running about in a zerg or by their lonesome)).

Meh, the OP’s argument I could care less about. S/he doesn’t want them b/c they do not like the way legendary weapons look, well boohoo for you. There were a couple of the other peoples comments that gave more legitimate reason for a toggle. The visual effects from them might cause people to have less performance causing delayed reactions and such in-game. This is about the only reason I can see adding a toggle for, though there should be another one that allows players toggle to generic clothing too (don’t put all your eggs in one basket kinda thing) so they can still enjoy what people are wearing and such.

For those of us that actually have a legendary weapon and enjoy them immensely, well, it’s not like we’d lose the ability to see them ourselves we’d still be able to see what ours and others look like, as intended. It’s not like you’d lose the look of the weapon itself. Twilight would still look like you are holding the universe, the dreamer would still look like a pretty princess bow with an “ugly one horned mule” on it (this is the next legendary I’m going for), it’s just those that toggled it off wouldn’t see the unicorns streaking towards their intended targets and would make it harder for opposing WVWers to follow your breadcrumbs.

Once you learn alpha’s windup it’s pretty easy to dodge his attacks. And if I had the dreamer SB would be my main wep too. Who wouldn’t like to shoot ugly one horned mules?!

I’d change the warriors longbow to a short bow. It can have the same skills just be a short bow. I want my asura warrior to shoot ugly one horned mules!!!

I only know how to do the gs version which is(was) press 3 then 3 + wep swap (same time). But as I’ve said this isn’t working as it once did. I have managed to do it only ONCE since patch. The axe version idk or sword version.

Well, even though a lot of ppl have seen this thread not any wants to raise their voice against the loss our infinite spin trick. It’s pretty sad that not many seem to care that much about it.

Dand.8231:

The timing on it changed, BUT I was able to confirm infinite spins still work

• Greatsword 3
• Axe 5
• WvW Golem 2
• WvW Omega Golem 2

Axe 5 is still best, as you can run around spinning in town all day XD
It just takes some practice and persistence. And since it’s purely a visual, I REALLY hope they NEVER FIX THIS BUG

But that’s the thing. It does seem like they are trying to phase it out. As of right now it is a lot harder to do than before the patch. This spin is a great little quirk in the game. It helps give the game and our class a bit more personality and they are slowly phasing it out it seems. It may be a bug but little imperfections like this are what help make the game that much more unique and entertaining. As far as I can tell this little bug doesn’t do anything to jeopardize the game in any way. It is just a harmless little quirk that I and many other warriors enjoy doing. Any others having this problem should say something about it. I like my “infinite” spin. I like to see the vast universe within my twilight that the devs created. It’s a beautiful weapon that this spin allows me to more fully appreciate it.

So Anet, please put this back the way it was. Let us enjoy these little quirks that make your game that much more unique and special.

I would like to know, if you’ll humor me, how many people are able to do the infinite spin just as easily as before the Halloween patch. Don’t just do it once; try a few times in a row, like 10 or so with the GS (which is the one I’ve always used myself) and also maybe the other ones that you can make infinite. So maybe 10 of each, and see if you find it harder to do now than before. For some reason I have only managed that one time i posted earlier and not since. It used to take only a couple tries to get it going before.

I don’t know, it still seems a lot harder to do it now than before. How are you doing the infinite spin with the axes?

Nvm. Just did i but, yeesh, it seem a lot harder than b4 patch. :^>

I’ve been trying to do this a for awhile today but haven’t been able to. I know this was a bug of sorts but it gave a bit more charm to the game in my eyes. One of the reason I made Twilight was for this, so that I could see the universe within from a larger perspective through different angles. It is such a beautifully made weapon and this was one thing that allowed me to appreciate it all the more. I’m probably just going overboard with it but it would be nice to see whether this could be confirmed by others warriors.

Well, at least we have that res skill as an aoe ground target, that’ll come in useful. 8^D

They should use them for Halloween recipes.

I don’t even want 30 pts I just want 10….

The skins are nice and I got an ascended weapon today off a lvl 30 one daily chest.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

It’s hard to tell what the functionality of the item is from just a screen shot, so I’m here to clarify. This screen shot actually shows the Bloody Prince Thorn costume and not an armor skin, so it is not usable in combat.

Why do this?

The Mad King Thorn armor and the Bloody Prince Thorn armor are both awesome. I really wish they and other town clothing were able to be used in combat… GW1 did their costumes right, why do worse wit GW2? :/

Because this would entail them to make 2 other armor sets (medium and heavy)?

I feel that sometimes people make a mistake or change their minds in making certain items they got in-game or from the gem store and having made them into a pvp item. The idea of this particular item is to allow you revert any item that you had turned into a pvp item back to its original format of being able to make it a normal pve item or pvp account bound item again. This item would NOT work on items that were originally got in pvp to begin with.

More than likely they’ll make it like the blc wep skins we have now which is RNG for tickets or scraps to make a ticket. This was a great addition to the BLC I’m glad you can just accumulate to get them.

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

sirflamesword.3896:

Solomon’s thinking is the same type of thinking that some people with legendaries have about precursor prices becoming cheaper/“easier” to get than they are now(Coming from someone who farmed 2 legendaries). It’s a crappy and selfish way of thinking.

You are incorrect. Precursors are not limited time only. Also when Halloween was ending last year they even said get your mad king chests now before these Halloween skins are gone forever…

I want proof of this. Where is this quote you are talking about?

Hmm, if they put that out I wonder what armor types med. and heavy will look like. Hopefully just as awesome.

Maybe we’ll luck out and they’ll put put in the 1st Halloween events for us to enjoy all over again those last couple of days. Or more likely they’ll just let it continue on till the end of Halloween.

inazuma.7021:

I think Scarlet is already under the Mad King’s influence. He broke her mind while she was “astral projecting” in that short story. She’s unknowingly already his servant, and her actions are all leading up to breaking the seal for him.

I need to read that story….

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

WereDragon.6083:

Anyone else feeling spite growing for Solomon? The elitism must be rubbing off. =D

Either way, they should be coming back Anet needs to make money since you’re all playing for kitten near free. So I welcome them back.

Not elitism… just a hope that Anet can keep at least one basic promise and keep what is labeled as limited time exactly that. I even believe if I remember correctly, Anet advertised the Halloween skins as get them now before they are gone forever…

and for the record, you don’t even know me… I’ve given away hundreds of Gold and expensive items to guildies, friends, and even random strangers.

“Limited Time” does not necessarily mean for that one time only and never again. Holidays come are around for a limited time but come around again for the following year. McDonald’s Monopoly game occurs for a limited time but comes around the following year. There are plenty of examples for “limited time” that doesn’t mean they won’t be back. I hope they do come back they were a great hit then and would be now. There were not that many to begin with what with the RNG rate for them. Yes, I think they should come back and I fail to see how more people having them would make me like mine any less.

Celestina.2894:

Donari.5237:

I do like it though it seems a more year-round thing if it’s just the domino part (the porcelain look -could- just be a pale character face). It looks to me like it might have different dye channels on the left and right sides which would make for some interesting effects.

If you look closely, you can see that just before the hair line, the character’s skin color shows. So the mask covers the whole face.

Granted, it’s possible that’s due to the lighting but it looks very different to me.

I think those eyes are part of it also, as I’m not sure it’s possible to get that eye look on norn or human.

No, sadly that’s just one of the human faces you can pick, which has those cat eyes and the mascara running down the face and black lipstick. If it wasn’t that’d at least make it somewhat better but unfortunately I highly doubt it. That mask is disheartening. Though, it wouldn’t surprise me if they added additional masks in the gem store that look a lot better either.

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

The issue is, that now a year has gone by and these what were to be “limited time only” items have created their own market value based upon said limited availability. People have spent MOUNTAINS of gold buying them or like my self busted butt to get them when they were around. To release them again would screw over everyone who put for either the significant time or money to get these.

And not to have them would, be unfair to those that were not able to be there then or are new now to the game. Honestly it’s a once a year item they will go back up in price by summer time again (unless they make them a certain amount of tickets to claim them thing). But I fail to see how those that cannot afford them now, around 400g for the ghastly grinning shield alone, should not be able to get one this year. If they do not come back you can be sure that the cheapest ones will probably nearly double in price.

They did bring back the other wep skins from previous sales and BLCs so it wouldn’t surprise me if they do bring them back for 5-7 tickets each.

Sadly they’ve been veering more and more against alts, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they limited it to one per account.

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

It better not come back… I don’t mind if they offer new weapons but in no way shape or form should the old ones come back… They should be limited edition to be owned by the priviledged few who were there for the original event and busted their tails to get it…

Psht, I managed to buy one early on (80g then) but I still want them to come back. Just make them as difficult to get as it was then and things will be dandy. Which pretty much means RNG….

I had sorta been hoping for a neat Halloween armor set but I doubt that’ll happpen.

Paulytnz.7619:

Guardian:

Longbow. It’s high time that these guys (and gals ) got a decent long range weapon. I think the longbow would be the perfect choice. As for skills etc, perhaps they can go the road of anti-protect or protection by-passing since Guardians have so much knowledge of protecting themselves. I’m thinking armour piercing shots, damage that gets through blocks!

I think short bow would be better than longbow. Like a thief it’d be nice to see some ricochets of light that damages foes and another skill that when fired brings a symbol that can gives protect to allies and weakens or damages foes. Would be neat to see a shot that rains down heal and blinds foes and a final skill that is a chain that when held for a duration does a strong dmg atk orb that can explode for more damage if triggered.

I would like an invite playing from ebay.

Have any of you noticed that the hair doesn’t move at all? Sorta bugs me that when I flip (evade) my hair stands perfectly still. Too much hairspray?

I would love an invite. I think this is a great boss and like the challenge of fighting him. I’ve enjoyed every encounter I’ve had with him but have yet to kill it. In US server and eager to help take out this boss over and over. Also, I’ve no idea which server you main for this event.

I’m just gonna: Make like a sylvari and leave. ;oD
(Derived from: make like a tree and leave.)

Maybe it’s a clue to One Eyed Willy’s rich stuff!

1. An infinite tonic that turns YOU into a mini version of you allowing u to fight mobs regulary and such BUT this only works in PVE.

2. A book of songs that allows you to sing or whistle rather than play an instrument.

3. Armor skins that have hats that are merely different types of hairstyles rather than helmets and such.

4. For asura and charr to have gender specific armor rather than just wearing the regular male version of the armor set.

The best thing that could be added is more time to beat teq. I say raise it to 30-45min and see how it goes.
