Dami.5046 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 people said the same about pharus. I like having something different - and it is different- why want another one that looks like the rest? I am currently working on it, somebody stop me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In some cases I agree, in others not so much, regardless of my opinion, Anet has proven they can and will change legendary weapons whenever they like.

Ashantara.8731 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 "Underwhelming"?? :o That oversized toy has more flashy, moving, exaggerated effects than any other legendary weapon I can think of. Plain awful. From your post, however, I take it that it's mostly about technical details rather than adding more to it. Eternity's footfalls are the reason I reskinned the weapon, so - if I were you - I'd be glad that Exordium has more decent ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exordium looks like cheap ass plastic with the lamest colours. And transforming effects look like they belong more into minecraft than gw2. Biggest disappointment in season 4 easily for me.

Biggest disappointment in season 4 easily for me. Well perhaps the designs were made specifically to entice the people who don't like first gen legendaries to make one. The focus on the newer legendaries seem to be designed to look more practical. Because me personally... rainbows, glitter, bright shiny messes everywhere and permanently unsheathed Twilight/Sunrise/Eternity is obnoxious. I even reskinned my Predator to the Perfected Rifle because flaming steampunk looked gaudy. A .50 cal goes well with my Deadeye's desert sniper look and the only skins I could really be bothered to use to get this effect is either the Perfected Rifle, Zafirah's Rifle or Arcane Marksman Rifle. I also got The Shining Blade because it's effects are reserved enough to make it look like an authentic weapon of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to prefer more flashy legendaries like you seem to, I am working toward Eternity myself. I do think that the cool effects that it does have, the transformations and "additions" to the weapons that pop during use should be bigger or emphasized more. A lot of character animations are way too fast for you to be able to appreciate or even see the effect sometimes. You could tell me there was no effect on a warrior's "hundred blades" and I would believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also am not fan of too shiny, but Exoridum does't look like a believable enough weapon to me. It looks like plastic, because of lame colors. And effects make it even more ridiculous. If it looked like it's actually metal with added effects (nice effects), it would be great, like Shining blade does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically though, Exordium is supposed to "represent a renaissance of magic and technology in the world of Tyria" according to the wiki and so with its looks seemingly manufactured, "plastic", and its shapeshifting abilities.

Smeerlap.2698 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 There are no legendary weapons in this game, just really expensive ascended.. with a purple color. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Bones.8975 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 After crafting Twilight, I found the whole thing a bit gaudy. The only good part was the footfalls because they last a decent period of time before fading. Now I enjoy it reskinned as Belinda's Greatsword and can swap stats ... best of both worlds for me.

Almost like ya know, you could have just checked this all out before you made it and then ya know... not made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
