Would you like to see Gen 3 legendaries in EoD?

[archmagus.7249]

I want a hammer which doesn't look like a rock dug out of the bottom of the sea on a stick.

[Raizel.1839]

No we have more than enough already, just add the remaining 2 trinkets for PvE and we're done.

[Solanum.6983]

Personally I'm indifferent, I crafted two legendary weapons and honestly I think I'll just save up with farming and enjoying other parts of the game and buy a Gen 1 if I ever want another. At the end of the day the new skins have been on par if not better than some legendary weapons so I'd probably transmute it anyway.

[Fueki.4753]

I'd rather have Arenanet finish the second set, before starting a third one.

We are missing at least three weapons: Spear, Speargun and Trident.

[Ototo.3214]

Would I be happy to get more? Definitely. I'm all for more legendary options. Do I expect it to happen? No. Unless they want to add gen2 underwater weapon skins.

Sounds that you want something more in line with https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Lasting_Bonds:_Where_We_Come_From which ends with a 32 slot bag.

What I want is Quip's collections or Chukka and Champawat.

What I don't want is a legendary Orrian hammer where the only stops in Orr for the "journey" are Siren's Landing or Pagga's to farm elder wood.

[GW Noob.6038]

Sure, I'd like to see new "legendaries"...and the draconian collections required to get them. :#

[Fenom.9457]

Yes, I would like to see more legendary weapons - however, I'm *far* more interested in legendaries of almost everything besides weapons. A second set of armor, more trinkets, underwater weapons, aquabreathers... all things I'd rather see than more land based weapons. But I want it all :)

[Mortifera.6138]

No.... no more grind, _please_.

[Morvran.8265]

Everything is a grind, even masteries or achievements.

 

Good thing about GW2 is, these are entirely optional so I don't see the problem.

 

[Akari Storm.6809]

I hope they learned their lesson when building this expac. HoT was built in a way that will keep folks going there forever to build gen 2's. Events and meta's get done in HoT maps. You go to Elona and nothing gets done. I mean the meta's get done, but the regular old events fail all of the time because no one is there. No reason to be there. The events mean very little. Much like core I guess. HoT, Living story and others at least get you keys and proper currencies.

 

I'm all for new legendaries in EOD, I just hope that the maps get designed in a way that keeps people going there and doing events into perpetuity.

This is like saying, "No.. no more content, please".

[Eekasqueak.7850]

You know you don't have to make new legendaries? They're there for people who want them.

They're optional, but there's nothing else to do, so you either do them or don't play the game.

You clearly weren't here during launch, then.

Oh, please. If it's the most prestigious item for X class, anyone without it will be made to feel inferior. Better not introducing it at all.

I've never seen legendaries that way, they're a good long term goal for those who want them but I've never felt inferior for not having one. I'm sorry you feel obligated to get every new one that comes out but I think it's a bit selfish to demand they not be there at all.

[Adry.7512]

No i prefer not. rather have the resources used for something new.

That's not entirely true.

Several masteries are necessary to complete the story.

I've been here since early release... and the game has always contained grind since day 1, CoF grind for example.

[sorudo.9054]

i see no reason to spend resources on something only a minority can even get, i have this with legendary weapons and i have this with raids, make them accessible for a wider audience or don't bother at all.

[Bast.7253]

I’m hoping it’s just gen 2 underwater legendaries but well get some usable above land.

Just face it team, if it can't be monetize either through direct sell or in BLC gambling chests, it will not added into the game. You can find your Gen 3 weapon skins in the monthly updated loot boxes or in the $20 outfit packs.

 

they started off wanting to do legendaries that have lores behind it, but it was taking up crap loads of time having to add and tune existing contents, those who did gen 1 precursor APs would know how many broken open world events are out there blocking progress

 

also the lores were severely under appreciated by majority of the community, thus they gave up and just went with the pure recipes and they were able to pump them out faster

 

if they continue with the same model of just recipes I don't see any reason they cannot make a new set of 16 legendary weapons in one xpac

Guild wars 2 at launch was one of the worst games I've ever played. I stuck around for about a year, and came back to see the living world releases and then F'd off again for a while until the next one. HoT was when I came back and PoF turned me right back off again, and likely I wont go back there unless Im filling my map in and clearing maps but the PoF maps are almost as bad as core. Everything is pointless, nothing matters and there is LITTERALLY nothing to do. I like gen 2 being crafted and NOT Relying on a RNG drop; Im glad they did it for Gen 1 too.

 

They can replace mastery's with A new gen of legendary weapons, mastery's are artificial progression for progressions sake and not because its meaningful. I also doubt that their "joy of movement" will fit much in this expansion... given mounts cover what was not already available. And because I think PoF and S4 was intended to be the end of Gw2, Im pretty sure thats why mounts were so encompassing. It was the final, be all and end all. (Mastery's feel better when added through living world anyhow.)
