Depends on what the devs intended for the overall legendary weapons design - if they do have a plan for them or not. There are some that do seem to only have a "serious" style to them like the sword legendaries, but I'd imagine they want to give players more options and not just have one type. They may have a "comical" version of the sword some day. I would consider Flames of War, Claw of Khan-Ur, and Verdarach to be the more exaggerated versions of those legendary weps. Bifrost would be the more colorful/playful version of the staff whereas Nevermore is the more spiritual/serious version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Howler was the serious one. This is the comical/exaggerated one. I think they did a wonderful job on both. There are plenty of scaled-to-char skins in the game. It's nice to have something special like this that actually meets the term "_LEGENDARY_". > > > > > > > > > > Anet said that they are not all going to be in that way... some weren't like for example an axe and such.. but imo none of them should be a joke. They're spending money and time to make legendaries and majority will not use them because they are a joke. You don't see many Shooshadoos, and I have yet to see someone using HMS Divinity, but you see tons of Nevermores and Chukas and HOPEs, because they're on a more "serious" side and that's what majority wants. > > > > > > > > I'm not sure if Anet confirmed that. If so, I'd need to see a source to clarify. You could argue that Frostfang is the comical one - having a giant dragon mouth that chatters and such, but really it's all based on opinion. The idea of having both a "serious" and "comical" version of a legendary weapon was probably meant to give players more choice. > > > > > > > > There are plenty of players that prefer the more comical, over-the-top, lighter-tone legendaries. I would never assume that the "majority" of players prefer the serious-styled legendaries and neither of us has any definitive proof that would confirm or deny that. > > > > > > > > If the money and time was not worth making comical legendaries, then why are they still making them? It's all relative. I've seen quite a few Shooshadoos (that name... XD) but I rarely ever see Chukas, whereas you have seen fewer Shooshadoos and more Chukas. Best to let different players enjoy different things instead of excluding or putting down what others enjoy. > > > > > > So which dagger is the comical one? > > > > Probably the one that leaves mud footprints and an orange-tinged, fuming aura around you. Those colorful gems and ghostly children also separate it from the mechanical, straightforward design of the Incinerator. > > I would say the incinerator is the comical one its a friggin blow torch more akin to a torch then a dagger. It certainly can be. Each player can decide what's comical, serious, or another style to them as they choose. Maybe Shooshadoo or HMS Divinity are "serious" legendaries for some.

The Longbow is going to be a mobile Ballista we wield like a bdass and it ends with a Greatsword large enough to be featured in a World of Warcraft cinematic cutscene Good idea considering that GW2's Longbows are too small so bigger ones would just be normal size.

Ardid.7203 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Wasn't there a horn of trumpet linked to the Ascalon humans becoming ghosts? Maybe I'm confusing it with some other piece of lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the point, not a fan of a weapons that bigger than my toon, but first impression was it was ghostly and if you look at the image you can see the player's pant's thru it. > > no it isn't, go look at the trailer. it's ghostly at first and then it turns solid. Will have to do so, was working off the still provided but maybe it was grabbed while just being drawn. lol, course also wonder if Dulfy wont have it up on the site here shortly so that we can see it on a toon.

The bigger... the better ;) IMHO, "The bigger the better!" is a motto for people with poor taste. That thing is yet another fail in the line of objects designed within the past two years that have me question ANet's choice of skin designers for GW2. There are rarely tasteful new skins anymore. :/ > @"Sindariel.2354" said: > Pfff... THAT'S a warhorn: LOL! Indeed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinful.2165 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Clearly beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I hope it only appears massive due to the angle, it is a nice piece of not for the obnoxious size.. but Anet IS fond of making some spectacularly ridiculous legendaries.

Maybe I'm confusing it with some other piece of lore. In GW1 you got to watch Rurik blow a horn to drown his charr infestation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that's what you get when you use the bow in your pic. That's more like it:  Anyhow, slightly bigger bows (and slightly less ridiculous GSs at that) wouldn't kill the game for sure.
