ilginsara.8752 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hello fellas, I'd like to quickly complain about the Trophy named "Legendary War Insight". I don't play PvE that much so my only option to get legendary armor is either through WvW or PvP. Looking at requirements for PvP, it feels a lot less (currency-wise) to craft a legendary armor piece. Now, what I mean is that Skirmish Tickets and such capped currencies are naturally, harder to obtain. As also stated in the Wiki, one can obtain a maximum of 365 Tickets, which requires 1450 Pips. I'm gonna be honest here, I can never see myself getting that 365 Tickets in one week. My complaint is that it takes too long to craft just one piece of armor mostly because of Legendary War Insight/Precursor Armor. Starting from scratch one needs at least 21 weeks of farming pips. For people who work/study/can't be online all the time, this is a huge loss imo. Minimum time required to get a full set is roughly 40 weeks, give or take 5. I'd really appreciate some balance around WvW legendary armor crafting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying somewhat reduced cost. Maybe from 1095 to 900 or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coro.3176 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 It's legendary armour. It's supposed to take a long time. dealwithit.gif? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Sit back, enjoy the ride. Or go Raid, Or do PvP. Those are your choices for ‘legendary’ armor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltekka.2375 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 You dont have to get max tickets per week. It is a game, youre supposed to have fun. It is not a job. So, you either enjoy wvw - and the tickets that come, naturally, with it- and craft the leggy armor in 22 weeks, or you go into pve raids (which is much faster to craft time-wise), or into pvp (good luck with that). It is a legendary armor, with a huge QoL feature. It is meant to take time and effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos.4263 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 It should take a huge amount of effort and nobody seems to be disputing that. But the OP is correct that it's also a bit excessive. One advantage over the PvP track though -- you can do it in the off-season, as WvW has no seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steki.1478 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Why would you need legendary armor if you don't have the time to grind for it? It's not like you cant buy exotic armor and call it a day. Stat difference is like 10% and cost+time difference is huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman.5829 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Don't expect to get WvW theme stuff if you don't play WvW. I have full legendary WvW gear and 7119 WvW tickets spare. ![](https://i.imgur.com/WfTqWvn.jpg "") And 2500 skirmish chest (I have used about 1000 so far, the rest I save them). ![](https://i.imgur.com/8P9SfUy.jpg "") If you don't play WvW don't expect things to come for free or at a reduce time cost. PLAY WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KalasDelRio.8921 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Pretty much what @"Hitman.5829" said. You can just craft Ascended and stat change whenever you need to until you eventually get the skirmish tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EremiteAngel.9765 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I can understand where you're coming from OP. When you have a strong desire to obtain a best in slot item (not just stats related which ascended provides, but most desired form of that armor which is legend), but is gated behind 10 months due to real life restrictions on your playing time, that can seem like a really long time to wait. But as others have pointed out, it is currently the best form of armor in the game and so some extra effort and time is required to obtain it. Is the effort and time currently pegged at the right level? Honestly I'm split on this. For a WvW veteran of high rank, obtaining the pips for tickets is a breeze compared to a WvW low rank. In a way, it rewards high rank veterans but overly punishes low rank players who may also be veterans but just not the exp farming kind. I would prefer to see more tickets given out at lower tiers of the pip chest so that it is not such a massive time sink for low rank players. Although I've said that, ultimately I do agree with the advise given by others in the thread - enjoy WvW as a journey and before you know it, you would have achieved the rewards.

Optimator.3589 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 If you're playing the game on a relatively casual basis, craft yourself a couple sets of ascended armor and call it good. You've got the same exact stats as the legendary armor, so you're at no competitive disadvantage. The main benefit to leggies is the ability to swap stats, which really only matters if you're constantly trying different builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he may want to craft Stellar weapons, each requires 500 kralkatite ore. Edit:typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sostronk.8167 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 MMO's are designed for and cater for people with no life, not for people with jobs and a family to take care of :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
