You’re late mate, this problem came out already right at the release of w4, many people complained, anet did nothing, so…sorry but doing again now is useless.
I have nothing against skill requirement to get anything. However, why only through raid, a niche content? And why couldn’t they have been a lot more transparent about it when advertising it?
Raids niche is the fact that its challenging content…
They have been 100% clear that legendary armor will require raiding since its announcement before HoT launch. It has also been all over the forums, reddit, Dulfy, MMOgamer, etc for the past 18 months.
It was 100% clear that legendary armor would require raiding since before HoT. I had no problem about that. It was never clear, however, it would require more out of raid than map completion was required out of the old set. Do the collection and you unlock the precursor was more or less what I expected.
I guess I’m curious as to why this is coming up now? As far as I know, ANET still has not given a 100% confirmation in a post or in game about the legendary armor recipe. That being said, it has been leaked and posted all over the forums/reddit/dulfy/etc.
So if it still isn’t confirmed by ANET and likely won’t until its released because that’s what they do…then did you find out it takes 150 LI from one of those sources? If so then it sounds like you are frustrated with your own ignorance. For instance, this was posted by Dulfy almost 1 year ago. http://dulfy.net/2016/06/17/gw2-legendary-armor-collection-crafting-guide/
I found out it was going to cost 150 Li when the recipe started to appear on the wiki and I already said what I say here long ago in other threads.
BTW, how is any post anywhere about Leg armor details relevant unless they predate the prebuy time? How were people supposed to buy knowing all these details if they were available after?
The marketing was misleading to me in the context of past legendaries is what I will say. The promotion back then about legendaries was about freeing the acquisition of precursor from the TP and the mystic toilet (enter collections), not bury them behind niche content even after you had acquired the precursor.
It was never misleading, they promoted the legendary journey primary for weapons.
The armor precursor is not available without raiding, the LI argument is pretty weak as you need to raid anyway even if they would remove LIs from the recipe.
The distinction between armor and weapon was not clearly promoted that way when the time to pre-order was there. It wasn’t even obvious or making sense to proceed differently anyway.
All we knew was that you had to go into raids to get that armor. The idea of the collections discussed back then were about the PRECURSORS. So, logically, we could expect the armor precursor collection being tied to the raid. However, the details about the remaining gifts for the legendary were never disclosed and nobody that I know was expecting 150 LI outside the precursor at that point in time.
Too bad I still have 100 more LI to grind I guess…
You’re wrong, we knew everything long ago, check this: http://dulfy.net/2016/06/17/gw2-legendary-armor-collection-crafting-guide/
It’s almost a 1 year ago post and nothing changed since then.
Also, if you crafted Crystalline Heart, the master crafter of your chosen armor weight will tell you all details for each gift.
I’m not sad at all, I’m happy instead, me (and others) went through hell for the various items in already existing collections (I and II) plus the cost for crafting leg armor gifts and Crystalline Hearth so a free last item is the best I could expect!
I really like heavy set but I dislike both medium and light (especially medium is awfully ugly imo).
I would have preferred a different solution for runes too but I think I’ll have to settle for it.
They already left a clue in their post “…To complete the collection, players will need to visit and interact with the only living thing remaining in the Bastion of the Penitent once the prison has been cleared….”. With this said I think the only living thing at the end of w4 is that strange tree near Deimos fight zone.
No. we get told in the next AMA it is pushed to last episode or next raid
No. we get told today.
Yes. we get told today.
Yes. they put in a blog on Thursday/Friday for more hype.
No, we don’t get told anything before update.

may 2nd hype thing is… no legendary armor teasing in that trailer soooo.
.. “legendary armor on heart of the sand gw2#s next expansion” hue
Leg armor not being in preview doesn’t mean it won’t come along patch.
yes but why wouldnt they show it to get the hype going ofc just like they teased the new fractal last time. Speaking of fractal i hope the new one is ready my body is ready for it
I don’t know but they didn’t say it won’t be in the patch either, so as far as we may know, their last word (“leg armor coming with LS 5”) is the only truth we may say in regard.
What about a surprise ep 5 tomorrow without announcement? Is it so unlikely?
I’d say yes, very unlikely to happen since it never happened in the past for LS episodes (as far as I remember) but never say never, I’d really appreciate a surprise patch tomorrow!
ArenaNet has already confirmed that supply is outpacing demand. The issue is that you don’t want to wait or buy them.
I often read this kind of comments and i completely disagree, if ANet says X, we don’t necessarily have to agree with, that’s what forums and complains are for, in the hope that seeing the displeasure of many, they change their mind!
These are all valids arguments, still i feel (and I felt with HoT) that contents of new exp are too few.
They can have tons of reasons (maps complexity and armors x 5) but if the new exp will be just like HoT I’ll feel unsatisfied again….(and not only me I suppose…), I prefer waiting a little more but paying the price of a full game for that little contents feels completely unfair to me.
Hype is a double edged sword… too much of it and you raise player expectations beyond what is humanly possible to satisfy. HoT hype was so huge people were expecting 25+ maps with 100+ hours of story content and dozens upon dozens of new armor skins to collect.
I can already see the same thing happening for Expac2… People look at the leak and automatically assume that because a single screenshot shows the name of one town in the desert that we will automatically get ALL OF ELONA. Those people are going to be very very salty when their expectations are not met.
That’s what I really don’t get, why GW1 had 2 more FULL games (Factions and Nightfall) with tons of new maps, contents, armors and weapons but GW2 only get little expansions with so few new stuff compared?!!! (For the same price moreover….)
People want full new games like Elona or Cantha, or even something new but NO NEW EXPANSIONS WITH FEW CONTENTS!
+1 Completely Agree
Never a hype
Overall communication is bad, if you look at the forums, devs respond on 1-2posts a page
The most communciation I ever got was that they changed a title of my topic without saying anything in the discussion.
but on topic: They have made a statement once that the long hype of the previous expansion backfired so they don’t want to hype up coming content anymore. So now we get a week advance LS teasers, and we’ll get a trailer and a reveal sometime soon when they’re closed to finishing the next expansion. The lack of hype may be what’s killing the game, I don’t know, but the overhype we got last time almost definitely killed the game so I rather have this silence.
Well that’s their problem since they weren’t able to keep their words (leg, armor, whole new leg set, leg backpiece and maybe I forgot smt) with initial release and they’re paying that now.
If a gold seller (or any other player) does a post containing a link:
Case 1) [As it’s now] P has to write letter after letter in browser to see the link, P must has the intention of doing so, can’t be done by mistake. It’s really annoying to copy a link that way.
Case 2) [Being able to copy text] P has to copy the link and paste it, quite simple and fast, P must still has the intention to open that link, can’t be done by mistake. Faster than Case 1.
Case 3) [Hypertext enabled with just a click] P has to simply click the link to open it, it can be done by mistake and can lead to annoying pages. Fastest option though.
In my opinion Case 2 would be the best, something like Case 2>Case 1>Case 3.
It’s almost 2 months since previous LS4 (8th february), it’s time for the announcement of LS5. It’ll be today or next week (or even later) in your opinion?
The 2nd of May?
That’s my guess after the information that’s come to light.
A lot of people already did this (either paying gold last year to buy a run or running it themselves), either risking connection issues and dying countless times on invisible traps.
That large part of players wouldn’t be satisfied knowing that the content they worked so hard to achieve would become cheaper, so leave it as it is.

I mean, I would like to say “don’t like it, don’t do it”
but the problem with this is that it requires dev attention that’s withdrawn from raiding, LS or other content. And it adds weapons that break immersion worse than a set of huge wings. And lets not forget the miniatures with their cringy 8-bit sounds.. Sorry, but this ‘festival’ does actually do harm
That’s the perfect definition of “different opinions”, what you dislike is what like the most, imho they could get rid of everything else but DON’T TOUCH MY SAB!
Hello, as title say I need help to choose a HoT legendary (my first legendary weapon), my options are Chuka and Champawat or Eureka, I have both gifts ready but only one gift maguuma mastery/mystic tribute so I can only chose one weapon now, I like both and I would use both (maybe slighty more the mace since my main is warrior but I use other characters as well) so I’m really undecided on which I should make. So what I’m asking you is a personal opinion on which you like the most of these 2.
Thanks
1) That’s not the right subthread to post this.
2) You can check yourself (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Attribute_combinations).
3) Yes, it doesn’t exist in PvE, closest ones are Rampager (precision instead of ferocity), viper (again precision in piace of ferocity and an extra expertise).
Zaraki I don’t mind normal mode it wasnt too bad with pugs for me last week. Done 123 boss in one go and 3tries 4th boss for me last week. Cm is different story with pugs
If you want to do general considerations of a wing you must take into account the normal mode mostly, since CMs are just marginal, one time adds. That said, considering only the normal mode, it’s my favourite wing.
Some of the prevoius bosses also had a CM and what you say applies there too, try doing Sab’s CM or Sloth’s, or Mattias’s, with pugs it’s still hell, no different from w4.
Reading last patch notes i found out that they added a new achievement called “The Real Raiders of Tyria” but it’s basically the same as the old “Greeted as Liberators” since both require you to beat every w4 boss with challenge mote active.
So i was wondering: why did they put this new achi?
It worked for me so maybe it’s a rare bug or you forgot something, try sending a ticket and explain your reasons, so maybe they will give you the heart.
Repairing is not a big problem since it’s free, maybe just a little annoying but nothing more. In my opinion the real problem are runes, I mean I see legendary armor as my ultimate armor so it’s awkward to change runes on it or having a different set with different runes, still I don’t see a way to avoid that :/
Maybe they could make a system similar to wallet for runes but that’d kill runes price.
What do you have to do for the third boss one? I had the heart active for my kills of that and I’ve been alive at the end. What do you have to actually do during the fight in order to get the heart for that fight?
It’s something about Rigom (the human which spawn with the jotun at phases 66% and 33%), I got the heart quite casually while dealing with him but I don’t know exactly what has to be done to get it.
However again about that boss 1’s heart, while doing it today I found an awesome situation: a guy said “I got hit, please gg”, obviously nobody listened to him, and left the squad in the midst of the fight. -.-’
I mean, please you must do something about, it may create many unpleasant situations like this or worse!
The biggest problem of the upcoming legendary armors is that you can not change their runes;
while with the legendary weapons it wasn’t a big problem since two seals were affordable in most cases, with the armors that would be a big problem.
I thought about it and I’ve come up with an idea: why not create a system similar to the wardrobe for sigils and runes? Every time you get a sigil or a rune, it is added to the wardrobe and you can use on the legendary weapon or armor of your choice.
It would also be a way to make the legendaries more useful instead of relegating them to purely cosmetic things.
What do you think?
thats not a bug, that’s because they haven’t finished the legendary armor after like 2 years so u still cant get it
You didn’t understand what I was saying.
I meant, with latest patch they added 5 additional hearts:
(0) Penitent Heart
(1) Jade Heart
(2) Protected Heart
(3) FRAGMENT OF THE MISTS
(4) Demonic Heart
What I was trying to say is that the (3) shouldn’t be called like this because it’s already in the game (just got it in fact).
And one other thing (which is just my opinion) is that it should be changed the requirement for the (1) to match the others (just killing the boss), I’m finding really hard to avoid all his “Spatial Manipulation” attacks, everyone I saw so far got hit at least once in the fight…moreover it’s really frustrating and sometimes it’s advisable not to go into green spots and take the attack instead (either because green spots are too close to the edge or because someone need to be ressed firstly) and so if someone goes for the heart, it might compromise the fight.
i understand problems happen but camon on EU more specify Portugal is already 23.37 i real want play a bit of episode 4 before to bed…. most of people work ….
I know what you mean. I understand they can’t give an exact time, but an estimate would be really welcome right now..
They keep insisting it will release “today”. What does that mean? Not everyone lives on the east coast….
