mortrialus.3062 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Tooth of Kralkatorik. You know the Jormag tooth in Hoelbrak? Yeah imagine that with a hilt and purple. Monster Hunter style, baby. Purple crystal effects for it's draw animation, aura, projectile, weapon trail and foot falls. > @"Palador.2170" said: > Well, the general pattern has been to **alternate between silly and serious**.

Definitely expecting something related to Kralk. Though the foreshadowing in Requiem implies that Sohothin is a possible contender. Or some merging of that plus Magdeer or whatever. I'm sticking with it being called Destiny's Edge though. lol Maybe it will be a giant purple Soul Caliber -esque sword that's a giant purple crystal/shard of Kralk. And in the center of the crystal you'll see Kralk's eye peering out at you and looking in all directions Lord of the Rings style. Hoping it will be pretty cool though. Seems like they've intentionally saved it for last. And everyone has different tastes, but it's hard to beat the original legendary greatswords. So whatever the design is I'd expect it to be pretty over the top to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern is generally relative to the G1 Legendary counterparts not between the same ones. The only one that really bucks that trend is Claw instead of Incinerator and even then Claw is more practical than Incin is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shining Blade, Verdarach, Flames of War, Pharus, Astralaria, Nevermore, aren't "silly" either (Though lots of people hate FoW) either and neither are their gen 1 counter parts.

casualkenny.9817 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 A crystallized blade forged from aurene's shed tail (you know how tequatl leaves his tail behind every 3hrs then regrows it again. And again), with baby aurene's after image swiping beside ur sword. When a mesmer uses attack 1, aurene's pewpew comes out Branded aura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phs.6089 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I really hope it would be something like BDO Dark Knight Awakening GS. It's purplish and slick :) ![](https://i.imgur.com/rFUa41b.jpg"") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallune.8150 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Some kind of water sword. I would say called "The Maelstrom" if that hadn't already been used in game on a rather unimpressive trident skin :/ Waves crash up and down the weapon while in use, spraying foam. Draw effect is a large water vortex surrounding the player. Footfalls are mini crashing waves. Possible lore reason (includes recent Living Story spoiler): >! Kralkatorrik survived the recent encounter with the Commander, but was severely wounded. With his energy greatly reduced, he has joined Primordus and Jormag and returned to a dormant state to recover. >! A certain Deep Sea Dragon senses the power vacuum left in Tyria, is tired of being called "the other one", and decides it's time to remind everyone what his actual name is. The next Living Story episode ends with the Commander discovering this, leading on to the next Living Story instalment with a new dragon emerging.

Tzarakiel.7490 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Not sure about the appearance of the weapon, but my guess is that you have to combine 2 Eternities in the forge to get the precursor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dami.5046 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 They should of done a competition, and let the community show them what they would like since the last bow (which I have) was so hated. But maybe also the story behind it and it's place in the lore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgs.6103 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It's gonna be a Gratesword. The foot trail will be mozarella, the stow/draw sound effect would be the sound of a chalkboard being scratched by fingernails, and the aura will be a confetti of mixed vegetables.

Magnus Godrik.5841 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 It will be called infinty and have a blackhole looking blade and when combined with eternity it will make a new sword called oblivion. The blade will suck in defeated enemies. It will have a black aura that distorts everything around you. Foot falls will look eternities only that it will implode.

I would have liked to have seen an asuran tech greatsword with a beam of light within changing colors and the footfalls being different colored strobe ligths that radiate out in a circle. And when you swing it each swipe (sort of like sunrise/twilight) is displays a different color. But this is a very silly idea. > I didn't know I wanted this til I read your post. Now I NEED THIS.

Pirindolo.9427 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 One of these: 1) A greatsword that doesn't look like a greatsword, it's the size of a surfboard and causes epileptic attacks with its neon lights 2) A last-minute re-skin of a gemstore greatsword (like they did with pharus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terter.4125 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I would say Kralkatorik Greatsword + Aurene Greatsword... just imagine the fusion... some bad ass bluish purplish crystal greatsword. Other idea is Unbound Greatsword + Volatile Greatsword... the binding of those two together will be unthinkably awesome ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid that it will be something over-the-top like that (at least the size will certainly fit :/ ), or something "sci-fi" looking like Pharus (also not very desireable). > I kid, I kid.

MithranArkanere.8957 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 There's 3 main kinds of legendary weapons. And weapons can be of more than 1 of these at the same time, but they will always have a 'main' type that is more prominent than the rest. * Lore-based. These are replicas of ancient weapons or weapons inspired in or related to lore elements like events, people or places such as ancient Orr, the Krait, the Shining Blade, etc. * Elemental. These are based on simple and basic abstract themes like "Fire", "Darkness", "Chaos", "Light", "Corruption", "Demonic", "Celestial", "Nature", "Sky", etc. * Silly. These are based on fun silly concepts like "Firing confetti" , "firing unicorns", "A disco ball", "a quagan in a bowl", "holding a boat and firing cannonball", etc. The Gen 1 greatswords were 'elemental': "Shadow/Dark" and "Light/Holy" being the elements. That means the Gen 2 one will be either lore-based or silly. I would be interesting if it was a combination of Magdaer and Sohothin, reforged into one weapon.

Swagger.1459 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I’m feeling that it will be a greatsword that you can combine with Eternity to make another greatsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discobizkit.6531 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I think it will be called the Timewarp. Only one person per server can craft it. It will be shard based and when unsheathed will force all characters within 1200ft to perform the full RHP timewarp dance, then gives stage 4 terminal eye cancer to all players still alive. Owner will receive special glasses from Arenanet to block lighting effects and vouchers for 2 free psychiatric sessions. Or the boat oar works too.

I was surprised that the game didn't have a version of it already since it already got Mjölnir and Gungnir. both of them are from nordic mythology, that one is from english legends. (and if you look at the non-anime version A.K.A the legendary accurate one, it's quite a boring looking sword) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I wouldn't mind this. Hey, we always need new projects to help us keep interested. :D I hope it's something that's not close to skins already like fire, cold etc. I doubt it will beat Eternity and the whole other world theme but if it does I will make one. I also hope it looks good sheathed and not "contracted" like they are doing with many weapons now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
