Allura.3289 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 As a longbow shooting ranger main I'm sure I'm not the only one anxious for a new legendary longbow. If there is someone out there taking ideas please consider this: "The Bones of Palawa Joko." A long bow made from his remains after what happened in PoF. His head with a broken jaw would be part of it. Every time you draw the bow he says a phrase like, "It's showtime!" or something along those lines, and occasionally says random things. The arrows would be that black goop that Awakened throw at you, and sigil would be a health steal on crit or something. The draw effect could be some kind of necrotic explosion that ends in a ghostly mist falling around your feet like on the Primeval mount skins. The footfalls could be that black oily goop you see in Awakened territories. Well just putting that out there. Hope people like it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacher.9370 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 other then the "its showtime" part (as there is already an extremely obnoxious bow) sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlinvf.1358 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Thats assuming anything survived Aurine's digestive track. Not to mention Joko is an S class Necromancer...... if his head survived, he'd be intact. If anything, I'd say we'd steal his Staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diak Atoli.2085 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 As interesting as this idea is... Anyways. I would almost guarantee the next legendary longbow is already planned out and heading through development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephemiel.5694 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Make the Legendary Longbow the one that won 7th place in the Design A Weapon contest [aka the only Longbow that was recognized]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They specifically required the DaW contestants *not* design Legendary-style weapons, so it would be *very* strange to make a runner up into a legendary. Also, I suspect design is not only already under way, I think it was conceptualized before the contest even began. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oglaf.1074 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Would the collection involve sifting through Aurene’s dung for the bones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Templar.4589 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 A legendary bow with the undead theme and black goop arrows and footfalls sounds interesting. But I also would say no thank you to the "it's showtime" bit or any voice overs like that as part of the weapon effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allura.3289 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Ok well it doesn't have to say "showtime" all the time. But something in Joko's voice , ya know with that attitude and conceit. But just on draw and maybe if you stand around too long or are in a long fight. And definitely not with each arrow fired, i hate that unicorn short bow. SO MUCH HATE!

starlinvf.1358 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 If we drop the whole Joko angle, and focus on a Awakened tar themed part, I'd be all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaraki.5784 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I just hope it's not a grass-type bow like Kudzu, I hope for something which can match my norn warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasida.4085 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm All for a new longbow because lets face it.....Kudzu is an acquired taste. Maybe bring the Dryad skin over from GW 1.....now that'd make a gr8 legend longbow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allura.3289 Posted August 9, 2018 Author Share Posted August 9, 2018 Actually that dryad skin exists in GW2 already. It was one of those unlockable skins if you got to a certain tier of GW1 Acheves or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasida.4085 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I actually have everything unlocked from GW1........it is shortbow....and kudzu while kinda Dryad it's not sadly (sugg: FULL dryad). Kudzu is an......acquired taste lol. Make a new gr8 longbow with ANYTHING besides flowers and birds when ya use it or run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrolicus.3716 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I actually want an Lovecraftian-themed Legendary Staff for Gen 3. We already have Nevermore. This Lovecraftian staff would be the counterpart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was no doubt the magic that made Joko a lich (binding the soul to the body to the point where death cannot separate the two) being broken and eaten. Even if Aurene didn't eat Joko's body, that first bite killed Joko - if you noted, he became limp immediately following that flash of magic at the end of the cinematic. > @"starlinvf.1358" said: > > @"Tasida.4085" said: > > I'm All for a new longbow because lets face it.....Kudzu is an acquired taste.

The dryad bow, however, does exist... as a short bow: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Living_Short_Bow Kudzu is similar enough though, effectively a fancier longbow version.

Umut.5471 Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Well the next Longbow and Scepter should be dark/evilish themed imo. I'm in love with the 2nd gen focus, but unfortunately I don't use focus as a weapon. The first gen longbow and shortbows were going ok with "cute/kawaii" looking characters, but the second alternative should have an opposite theme. Palawa/Death magic/Cursed weapon themes can be fine with 2nd gen Longbow and Scepter, they would make excellent alternatives to the first gens.
