Magnus Godrik.5841 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Just do an easy raid like escort, cairn or MO to unlock it. You can hide how terrible you are by how easy these bosses are. Just blame it on lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esquilax.3491 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I think the results speak for themself. It's not going to change though, not now that It's in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malediktus.9250 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Raids need exclusive shinies. Be happy that there is no stat progression and it is only cosmetic. Why do I not see people outraged about the monthly pvp tournament rewards? That is what I call outrageous. Content for 10 (5 EU+ 5 NA) per month.

If you dont want to do it then dont, but dont ask for raid rewards if you dont want to raid. Nobody is hating,the problem with raids in gw2 is that their are totally broken.Have you seen the new wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want the legi? learn to raid, or buy a boss kill. Simple!! The arguement here is that if you want a particular legendary you are forced to do content that 90% or so of the game population do not want to play in, for no other reason than to force you to do the content - the side effect of which at best would be a flood of people joining raids when they dont really give a damn about them > @"Magnus Godrik.5841" said: > Just do an easy raid like escort, cairn or MO to unlock it.

This is the kind of attitude that pushes the vast majoirty of GW2 away from raiding - EVERYTHING is boiled down to penis measuring and the '_you must be rubbish if you dont want to raid mentality_' Lucky raiders are now going to be flooded with people who dont give a damn about raids but just want a legendary. Well done Anet, unfortunate for raiding fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Anet, unfortunate for raiding fans. This is unfortunate for raiders too. I never had a guild/team to raid with, I wasl always raiding with LFG, since the beginning. This new waves of people who raid for legendary forced most of the LFG community tojoin teams and now is nearly impossible to find some good people on LFG anymore. Even the number of squads looking for more on LFG has reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaklex.6308 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I don't really care if it's locked behind killing a raid boss or not, not interested in it...nor am I interested in any other of the Legendary items, and it has nothing to do with cost or time...just not my thing.

Daniel.5428 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 It was confirmed, the main 3 items of the collection are locked behind the first 2 bosses of the raid. Judging that everything in RNG, looks like you have to kill the first 2 bosses multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umut.5471 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm 100% against raid locked legendaries. I like Gw2 because of its open world content, this game isn't a WoW clone and shouldn't have raids as an essential thing. I don't care about stat switching ability actually, it's a good feature but I don't change my build that often. Ascended stat switchability is enough for me. Plus bloodstone fen accessories are cool enough with easy stat switch. But I do care about collecting cosmetic legendary skins, and locking them behind raid content isn't cool.

Obviously the non-raiders will vote "No" and will be more than the raiders. Obviously this won't lead to anything, because the devs know the necessity of exclusive rewards in high-end content. Be patient. Like with the legendary armor, ANet will give an alternative acquisition of the functionality after some time. > @Umut.5471 said: > I'm 100% against raid locked legendaries.

They were always a cosmetic, prestige long-term goal. It's essential for me as the only point to play this game to have a character with all the BIS skins in long term. Everyone farm some gold, some achievements etc. Then why do we farm them since we can't have weapons with better stats? For skins. And if they lock those skins behind raids then we won't have any reason to play this game after some point. I'm currently grinding for Aurora, but don't know what to do after it. You may not think like me but most of the game wants to craft some legendaries in this game and the gold/content grinding for them is their main goal in this game.

Because then it doesn't look so good for raids? Look at it differently: Fractals have one legendary backpack. LS have one legendary trinket. Both expansions together have half a set of legendary weapons Core game has one set of legendary weapons. Which (due to them being buyable on TP) they share with all of the gamemodes. Raids however have a set of legendary armor _and_ a legendary ring. Notice also, that raiders are expected to be able to get "open world" rewards for both core and expacs, as well as do the story, but the opposite is _not_ true. (also, now compare all that to sPvP, for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lana.5276 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'm a raider, I've killed all bosses before wing 5 multiple times, have the precursor armor for my first leggy armor set, have Ad Infinitum and Aurora, and no, I think that the ring shouldn't be hidden behind raiding. Each mode of the game has legendary armor tied to it (raids for PvE, WvW now has leggy armor, and so does PvP iirc), but not all of them have legendary trinkets or accessories equal to that of Aurora. Open world PvE is hands-down the easiest mode in the game, and I think that it's important to keep trinkets tied to the same game mode - especially seeing as the Aurora was so easy to get. Keep it consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LanfearShadowflame.3189 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think I'm ok with the new ring being tied to the raids. What I'd like to see, and sort of hope they do, is trade off between 'open world attainable' and 'raid attainable' items. The first ring came from doing all of LS3, the second gets put in raids. Maybe we'll see the first legendary accessory come the end of LS4 and it will work as Aurora did, after which we'll see the second legendary accessory come with a raid wing. I feel that would be a fair balance. I think it's also something that might be semi-sustainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osby.5390 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 There should be a open world leg armour and ring as well, they could introduce some collection achieve to do then turn your ascended armour to leg armour using the collection and gifts of battle and fortune etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nilson.9865 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Like any other legendary item, you have to see world to get it. Dungeon tokens, gift of battle, crystaline ingots, etc. This ring has bonded to raid. If you really wanna this item you have to prove that you worth it. Ring+Legendary armor+story. Doing raids you will be one step closer to each. Seems good offer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
