TheQuickFox.3826 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I agree, but only when legendary items become more accessible. Including: * A full craftable legendary set from crafting professions and open world PvE, * A full legendary set for dungeons, fractals and raids. * A full legendary set for PvP * A full legendary set for WvW As long as players do not have all these ways to make sure they can obtain their legendary set in **their own game mode**, legendaries should not have higher stats imo.

Illurim.6059 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Disagree vehemently. The whole purpose of Legendary items is for the wow factor, the respect of the dedication primarily *because* there is no stat advantage. I literally love walking around and seeing people with Legendaries - I'll never have one, I don't have the time or dedication to put in (and I don't want to buy one). Something about seeing people who have dedicated themselves to getting a single Legendary (let alone some who have billions) just makes me really respect their efforts *because* they're only doing it for personal enjoyment.

Arkantos.7460 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 NO, you dont need theese weapons because you can have same with ascended, and yet you choose the way to spend your freetime in a weapon with another skin/sound/animation .... it wont increase you skill ... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazut.4296 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I have most of the legendaries, but I don't want them to be more powerful. I hate all the games where you need to constantly repeat the same sh*t to get the newest gear. This is the most stupid goal in a game possible...

Veprovina.4876 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Horrible idea. I don't want to be forced to make legendaries, most of them look kinda ugly, and i don't want legendaries to be mandatory. Also, OP, are you insane? Do you know how much time commitment they require and how much they cost? Do you want to ruin every Fractal and Raid in the game? People who are genuinely interested in Raids are already struggling to cut trough the toxicity, imagine if all Raiders were now required to carry legendary weapons in addition to meta builds. Did you think this through? WvW? Down the drain instantly if legendaries were stronger than ascended. Dumbest idea i've ever heard. I seriously hope this was a troll post.

Branwen.8741 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Abso-kitten-lutely not. That is a direct move to pay to win and even worse, more elitism.

Arzurag.7506 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 If they reduce the overall gold costs to zero and increase the effort to get a legendary then I would agree, but currently, it is a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurfu.5623 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The endless gear-hamster wheel is a lazy way of keeping players invested. I did that with WoW, and eventually just burned out. Anet is much more clever with the subtle-ish stat changes. Give them credit for not taking the easy path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhunter.6015 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 They are already a step above Ascended. Legendary weapons and gear let you select your stats anytime you want out of battle. With Ascended weapons and gear you have to carry extra with you taking up inventory space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can leave anymore gear levels out of this one. I don't care how 'insignificant' or 'minor' you might feel "just 5%" is. There will be too many people that suddenly "require" that 5% for grouping purposes. > So no. Just no. > > Legendary is fine remaining primarily cosmetic. The ability to stat swap out of combat is also a nice (non game breaking) feature. They should add the ability to add or build in swappable runes / sigils (depends on whether ur talking armor or weapons) as an additional 'perk' and that would ice the cake, imo. Without making them a "requirement" That will not happen due to how long it takes to get legendary stuff...i feel like gw2 and gw1 is the only mmo people have played on this forum. Raid group tend not to ask for super insane things like that. What commanders are asking for is absurd but i'm pretty sure there will be a line in the sand for that given that legendary gear takes some time to build.

Bogy.2953 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 holy shit no , the whole deal with gw2 is that item grind for stats is kept at a minimal and you only grind for cosmetics , please op never post again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oglaf.1074 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 As I was saying. the only "buff" Legendary Weapons need right now is the ability to freely swap Sigils. Seems so silly not to have it after introducing the feature with Legendary Armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, OP's suggestion is really bad for a variety of reasons. Compared to other MMO's that take several weeks of grinding raids and relying on RNG to get the best end game stat gear makes gw2 pretty minimal in comparison. The fact I can grind RIBA, Lake doric and ls3 for about 3 days to and have a full set of Ascended gear is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have been asking for this since 2012. That doesn't mean it's good for the game. Discussing it during the holidays won't change that.

sniperman.1738 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I'm gonna say no on this one as well, cause in my opinion to ascend is to be legendary as well, hence the whole name behind ascended gear, meaning they are of the same level of power.

Esterie.7409 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 No. The allure of legendaries should be purely convenience (stat swapping) and aesthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, i even got an ascended weapon chest drop in WvW the other day. Wasn't expecting that lol. But legendary? I'll take a few weeks of RNG grinding over a year of WvW grinding to get enough skirmish tickets... Oh well... Anet's anti grind policy at it's best.

DeadlySynz.3471 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 They already are a step above ascended; you can change the stat combos & mix and match at any given time without having to waste a host of time, and/or materials & gold crafting ascended. Also the additional problem with giving them a 5% bump is elitists will use it as a perfect excuse to lock people out of raids. Aka, "you need all legendary items to join" or you need "x" number of legendary items to join" You know that will happen... so there is in no way shape or form legendary items should be given a bump in stats.
