Or it could get a lot of people who didn't want to bother with legendaries due to the hassle of switching them between characters the desire to actually do so.

 

Especially legendary armor. Even more so if skins are unique to the build and you don't have to reskin them each time you switch character.

Whenever a dev talks about their process for making a legendary (Pharus for example), they pretty much state it in a way that they're the ones that make it themselves. It is entirely possible they do get some help here and there. You're severely overestimating how much dev time goes into one thing.

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

I'm not sure 'making' or designing something is the same as implementing it into the game.

Also, whenever the Devs talk about content creation, whether it be maps, items, events, etc. on Guild Chat, they seem to always talk about how all the different Teams and Team members contributed.

of course they make it themselves, they have all what i stated, that doesn't remove the fact that there is quite some work behind it.

it takes about 2 months to add a legendary weapon in the game, knowing that one weapon isn't the only thing they have to add.

however, within the months of dev time to develop this one weapon they could improve parts of the game that might just take about 2 weeks, something i rather see.

casting my vote for more legendaries. more weapons, more armor, more trinkets. more. it makes the game more fun. gives us more goals. its good for the longevity of the game.

This. Plus. Let's use shortbow as an example. Dreamer was og. Chuka years ago. I am tired of both at this point. Please more!

It seems these things drive the whole economy, I would hope for more of them.

I'd rather they focus their attention on things they can actually deliver in a timely matter

There are sooooo many weapon skins that I honestly feel like it's wasted effort now. I rather they focus on making armor skins that go in a different direction for once since everything has generally been the same concept since release, even Elona skins followed the same overused GW2 style of things instead of GW1 Elona's. I hope the same doesn't happen to Cantha, I want them to bring back GW1 Assassin style to diversify the ocean of coats and buttflaps.

Assassin armor in GW1 was honestly terrible.... just skin tight clothing with different shaped oversized blades sticking out everywhere. These designs honestly didn't make alot of sense, they just got gigantic fricking knives attached everywhere to look cool.

 

Cantha had some nice skins, especially the ritualist in my opinion. But assassin armor really hasn't been standing out as a good design. Can agree that we could use more medium armor which doesn't have trenchcoats, tho.

[Ayrilana.1396]

Unlikely that we'll see them when they can just release the skins through the gemstore. That's where a lot of the desirable stuff are getting funneled anyway.
