One thing I forgot to emphasise was how going for this stuff really brought me back to the game in a fun way these past few months. Was a serious burnout cure. Anyway feel free to join in the discussion, I'll be reading the comments - and remember I'm here daily on the channel with discussion about End of Dragons right up until it launches this year!
Also seen a lot of my more casual guildies working on legendaries - especially where people aren't so keen on the saga. Worth noting though that maps like drizzlewood drown you mats and has clover achievements (that are repeatable). Not that its too cost efficent, Anet also added legendary gifts to two of the Saga weapon collections (Bolt and Frostfang). Maybe they planned on a few more of these?
I came back to the game last September and one of the things that kept me was deciding to work on finishing my Meteorlogicus that I started like 4 years ago. Found lots of niche content I have no memory of doing before.
Then I thought i'd extend that drive by going back and working on old LW achievements for core MP, and that repetitive failure quickly killed a lot of my motivation for the game. :s
I would burn my self out doing it 😅 full ascended is enough for me.
What I would like in the next expansion is a way that you can get legendary armor from fractals that can stand worthy across the raid one, with a legendary battle stance. They can inspired from the design of legendary backpiece that you can get from doing fractals. There is a big piece of the community that they can't get into raids, because they aren't in a raiding guild with friends that they have the patience to wait until you have the skills to go through raids
Don't get me wrong WP you are not the only one with full leg set but as i see your are not fully cosmetic infused +5 +9 which some of us actually are.
Unsheathing that many legendaries at once causes perma-blind on all enemies
allies too, regrettably.
Super perma blind if you’re a Mesmer creating clones too

You don't need to play tournaments by the way, you can get the no visual amulet with just ranked.
Wow do I feel a bit dumb. I had no idea you could just click the check box and apply to all. Been doing it manual this entire time. Thank you for that bit of information it will save me a lot of time.
Im here, sitting on 8 years, 4k+ hours and only have one legendary Q_Q
Haha noob.... i have ALL Legendaries whit 2700 hours HAHAHAHA youre so baaaad
I haven't played gw2 since 2014 and i had 5 legendaries
@@helmutdergroe9457 not much to brag about ... do you live in a trailer or your mothers basement irl ?
Not trying to gatekeep progression here, I mean you play however you want. But thats kinda bad....
Just doing daily achievements alone (which takes like 5 minutes) for 8 years is enough to afford atleast 4 legendaries
If you wish to craft multiple legendary sets, I highly recommend doing daily tasks such as: fractals, crafting, alt parking, achievements, home gathering, pact supply run etc.
It can take less than 20 minutes per day of easy tasks to accumulate quite a heap of gold. And it really adds up fast. For example I make around 20 gold~ per day with my routine, which is 140g per week, which is 560g per month etc.
You really don't have to grind the same meta mindlessly for hours on end to make gold. This is a great video on it: ua-cam.com/video/J2nAfefdQyI/v-deo.html
This is what my routine looks like: i.imgur.com/mW5bdZJ.png
@@F0r3v3rT0m0rr0w he has 4000 hours and only ONE legendary... that is REALLLYY BAAAAADDDD
I am not jealous, I just need to turn on "Standard character models", it also greatly improve my fps, hm!
It's easier to work get yourself 10bil $, buy ncsoft then own anet and give yourself all +30 infusions than get 8mil gold in this game, imagine all slots xD
This makes me desperately want to pursue full legendary and then depressed as hell cause first off, only one set is actually legendary (besides the tendrils on the chest, the PvP and WvW are exactly the same as ascended variants). And then the raid set isn't terribly accessible, it's locked behind the hardest part of the game. Lots of people argue that raiding in GW2 isn't that hard, but it is to people who are based in GW2 not everyone played WoW raids for 7 years before GW2 added theirs, for a lot of people it really is the most challenging content they've encountered. Not to mention the true block, which isn't a challenge of skill or commitment (in fact this armor is pretty decent with the timegating), the true problem is the toxic raiding groups. Now I'm not saying it's entirely impossible to become a raider, but I've been trying on and off since the first wing was added to get into it full swing and every time I've never gotten further in than a boss kill or two due to toxic people. These days, it's hard to even find a group in LFG, you *have* to join a guild. Which isn't so bad I suppose, this is GUILD wars we're talking about. But I think all this certainly makes a fair argument at least that there should be another, uniquely legendary, armor set for pve. I'd like to stress PVE here, not RAIDS. Generalize PvE, meaning just about everything short of raids.
@@deadz0ne42 It does reflect skill because to buy enough raid clears to get the armor and trinket would be such an ungodly amount of money, probably over 10K. And can you even buy tournament wins for the pvp trinket? I think the current set is great for the reason you said, it demonstrates mastery of the full game. However, the issue is there aren't enough *options* if you want a full trinket set but dont care about the specific orbs, you just want something, you HAVE to play pvp tournaments, one of the most niche and toxic aspects of the game, very difficult to get into now (i've been trying for months to get those 20 wins). if we had another legendary amulet that would be ok but since it's the only option, it's really shitty of anet. The same can be said of armor - yeah there are two other sets but they arent really legendary, they share their skins with the ascended versions (except the chest with the tendrils). if you want a TRULY legendary armor set, you have to get into the hardest, most niche, most toxic aspect of the game and do it *150* times. Again, if there was perhaps a general pve armor, or even a pvp/wvw one that was actually unique, it would be ok because people who hate raids can just ignore it. But because this is your only option to get armor that actually shows off it's legendary, it's an incredibly shitty move from anet.
It's all about options, options, options. If you could obtain full legendary without being made to stray into hellishly toxic modes like raids and tournaments, we'd all be fine and happy. the stuff we have now could be a combination of legendaries meant to demonstrate full mastery of the game, while other people can choose to use a different mixing of legendaries. Say, all legendary gear that shows off mastery of pve and maybe a little of the competitive modes. The way it is now throws ambitious players into the deepest water possible and asks them to swim while someone holds their head underwater. It's not 100% impossible, but pretty fucking close. All I want is more options
I haven't heard any updates since they announced that they were thinking about implementing an "armory" system that would allow you to copy legendaries to alts. I'd absolutely love a full set of legos for that reason alone, but after I made The Flameseeker Prophecies several years ago I just don't have the time or motivation to do aaalll that stuff again...
The PVP Amulet is really interesting because you can do it at the same time as the Backpiece. So the PVP ranked wins are super valuable for your progress.
I started doing the aurora stuff just before Christmas (just have to gather the last mats for the gifts...) and I have to say it really helped me liking jumping puzzles. I am really bad at them, but being forced to do chalice of tears not once but twice I realized how much fun they can be 😅 also: nice overview, thank you for your dedication :)
Thanks god for me there are short cuts, otherwise I would not have been able to do them
It is my dream to have an option in settings to turn off other players glow effects from equipment and mounts. I know it's unlikely but man my enjoyment of the game would skyrocket. Less is more and I'm so tired of seeing giant balls of glowing mess everywhere look. Not trying to rag on WP at all. I know this was more about showing what's possible.
Agreed!
Working though the Legendary Lunacy, myself: Have 6 weapons and all 3 legendary backpacks. Slumbering Conflux is on my list as a maybe, as well as Legendary armor in some flavor. I've even got a spreadsheet mapping out what all I have to grind for if I were to go there.
Making spreadsheets and checklists for things is one of my secret pleasures in playing GW2.
My feeling is that with the coming years, they are going to add alternative method of acquiring those items. As of right now, only pvp can provide an amulet. Well, maybe Icebrood Saga will have one associated to it, just like other living world seasons had trinkets.
seasons of dragons achievement have an leg amulet now i believe
Can we talk about the fact that they straight up didn'T bother putting the search bar for runes/sigils in when you put them into ascended gear, making them basicly impossible to use effeciently. This way runes/sigils can never be a first goal to maybe swap your slaying sigil or so around because you first need legendary items to put them in or theyre a big chore to get use out of.
I am really glad you did this video. This makes me so hungry for them.
Just don't eat potato by mistake :3
I'm afraid I'm more hyped up for the leg. armory than the expansion :P
This actually made me think - what would a perfect/legendary account look like - probaply all 9 classes, different races so that you have played all the story... map completion for all 9 charackters and then full legendary armor (as much as possible) - I think that's actually a nice goal for spending a lot of time in GW2
My current project is playing through every option in the personal story. I have a lot of alts... But it's been really fun to be able to see every option for each race.
@@TheQuoteandQuill I really want to start with the 'legendary account' journay - I have a lot of characters but I tend to just play my guardian... always... I want to have at least 1 character of every class, fully equpped, map complete, full story complete.. and I think I'll enjoy that journey :)
(Sorry when my english is not very accurate I am not native)
I've been around since the betas and the only legendary I have is The Ascension, which I transmuted within 10 minutes of crafting.
The map completion part, is the only requirement that i dreaded the most when crafting legendaries.
well, you can still just buy gen1 legendary weapons from the AH and legendary armour doesn't need map completion and neither does legendary trinkets
Played this one first day of release and i enjoyed it a lot, even if i got long breaks from it. Even today, i don’t have a single Legendary, but i managed to get a Pink Greatsword on my Guardian, hahahaha!
I like the idea of legendary infusions that add even mored visual noise, and add some noise to runes and sigils (something with the rune symbols floating around you). The infusion could be something like a red carpet following your character (that weapon footsteps are on top off), and make it so each new infusion makes the carpet ever so slightly longer or something like that. Then a full legendary character just screams look at me you peasants.
I totally burnt out on GW2. I randomly log in every now and then. But I’m not sure If or when I’ll be coming back. None of my friends play anymore either.
Yeah I know what you mean. Ive been playing ever so often since launch. And finally since last September I have been able to play for many months straight thinking "ok, im finally in this game now" but now starting to feel that burnt out feeling again
@@Johnny-Cage I think everyone feels that on every game.
About you not remembering getting vision, I think you had already gotten most of the things you needed for it before it was released. Consequentially, it was much easier to get once it did come out.
The only thing is the INSANE amount of work for any one of these. This had to take you forever! Did you even sleep?
I’m working through all the trinkets first as I can’t decide what class to do for the armor. As I play most of the classes the fear of picking the wrong one is always there
I would never have the patience to make even just one legendary. The most I've worked for anything in GW2 was for the skyscale and I thought that was a grind. xD
I've made a bunch of legendaries, and, frankly, I felt the grind for the skyscale far more acutely. Part of it may be that I really got into the stories implied by the earlier weapons and I my imagination wasn't captured by the skyscale, but I definitely found the weapons easier. More expensive, though.
@@tsbulmer I don't really know of course since I haven't made any legendaries, but my impression was that you need to farm gold, materials and play a bunch of pvp and raids. I don't really want to do either of those things. Skyscale felt mostly like doing some obectives and then repeat map activities, which gets repetitive but I still enjoy somwhat. Maybe it's just that the skyscale was more one step at a time, while a legendary feels like a huge complex list of things to do. Just my impression though. x)
Just a quick nitpick: Runes of Leadership are pretty easy to get through WvW (and at half the gold cost, too). But obviously the overriding aspect remains, and there's plenty of other runes (e.g. the dungeon ones like Monk and Nightmare) that are likewise a pain to grind out every single time
how does the runes and sigils work for legendary? u dont have to collect them first? every legendary just has all of it available built in?
@@바보Queen legendary runes and sigils are stat changeable like other legendary weapons or armour. You can also remove them from equipment without using extractor
Thought on legendary armory. They might for progress sake decide to lock the new stat combos in the various expansions until you hit either a certain story step or have acquired gear with that stat set. or maybe just encountered the vendor that sells the stat/rune/sigil for the first time.
That way you have to do more than just purchase the expacs to get the stats runes and sigils of that expac in the Armory
That's unlikely because right now you can have only core/f2p game and have HoT and PoF stats available to you on your gen 1 legendaries. Also if you play WvW on f2p account you can have legendary armor/backpiece/rings with stats available only in expansions. So technically if you have full legendary character you will have access to all new stats without buying expansion and that's the feature not mentioned much. However you will not have access to new specs obviously.
Going for legendaries, particularly working towards Chuka and Champawat was definitely a big reason for playing the game at the time, but the legendaries without the story component to them... I am just not that interested in the material grind again. Maybe if I was doing it with other people, but most of my friends who played have left after PoF.
Yeah, the stories implied by earlier legendaries really left the later ones feeling rather dry and lifeless. Twilight had me "meditating on the transience of power", and Astralaria had me collecting incredible materials that were pure imagination fuel. The Binding of Ipos? As cool as it looks and as interesting as our own stories about it could be, it would be nice to have -something- from the game to build on.
i hate stories so i welcome this
I hate the process of making Aurora lol. what I hate the most is that a lot of items randomly drops from the mob. Like if instead, they make it hard, I don't mind, put 30 days time-gated, I don't mind but having to farm without knowing when it will be over feel so bad to me lol. also, IDK if it's just me but the lwss3 story achievement feels much easier than ss4. I did it all in a few days while I had a lot more fun(and trouble lol) doing lwss 4 achievements but at least the whole collection is not rng base anymore.
Vision also means a lot more to me than Aurora because I love lwss4 so much. I never cried doing gw2 story before until a star to guide us lol. I was sobbing, I can't even tell why it hit me so hard.
I was' wait what?' after seeing most if not all the build series, I wasn't expecting WP to have a 'Queen main Char'...and what a build this is \0/
the good thing is that due to the passion of this guy, it's not a show-off, kind of 'look peasant, here is what I play with'
I really like the 'casual conversation' tone of this channel, man, you rock!
I have been a casual GW2 player since launch, hitting ~2500 hours before I stopped playing regularly when the Saga started. I don't know how many people will go for a legendary weapon, armor or trinkets. I think it's a shame that the quality of play is limited to legendary items though. I don't experiment with stat combos or rune sets ever, because it's too expensive and time consuming to play in dead maps from previous Seasons. My dream is that all of this legendary functionality comes into the Ascended tier, while the actual prestige of the legendaries is bound to their look and feel.
Vision seemed really easy for me as well. I think it's because the biggest timegates for the item was locked behind getting the Requiem armor set and the Skyscale mount... both items you would most definitely go for while playing Season 4. Once you got them, you basically only had the Kourna Commander's Banner to do, which was not too hard as well. Aurora's quests where more out of the way and so you most probably didn't complete it on your first playthrough with Season 3.
I dunno man WP, im busy with wvw legendary armor... its a real grind, the armor doesnt look all that flashy but i just want to be able to swap stats.
i would like it if every piece of legendary armor/trinket/weapon would be available through what u want to play most, being able to go full legendary through ONLY playing wvw or pvp or pve, i really woulnd attempt to go for those pvp trinkets, thats just stressful
This was very informative! But gosh... as usual, I stumble across your videos super rarely and I swear every time I forget, that in the ending section you play LBA2 soundtrack - one of the best games of my childhood. And I simply can't hold the tears.
2:35 full legendary looks pretty amazing! Now do a video of that but with 18 unique infusions equipped
I've been playing casually since launch and I have no legendaries. Maybe I should get started on that one of these days
I'm in the same boat, because I play so casual I hardly ever felt the need to craft them. I still don't have full ascended. I feel that there is so much to do that I dont want to put the time into legendary
I was thinking about crafting legendary armor for cosmetic reasons but didn't really want to engage yet. When the armory thing comes, that gives me an additional reason to do it. So when Dusk is finished I immediately hop onto doing the armor next. I like that very much.
There is SOOO much potential with a legendary armory particularly with people who want to feel complete. Going full legendary will have long term ticklists for people that will have you get into multiple modes and for a significant amount of time. Especially for those classic MMO players. Yes, i know a lot is a material sink s and it doesnt necessarily mean you have knowledge on the game, but i imagine you the reasonable amount of time spent in each mode would give you perspective about what is involved in gw2.
I feel the armory should come in sections to be expanded upon over time.
A separate armory unlocks panel somewhere across the account would be nice. Basic function i see it working like we have have with regular gear, click on a weapon slot, it shows all your weapons in your bags and other equipment slots. Interesting that you would need some form of account bag though. Usually when you unequip an item not in any of your templates, it returns to your bags. They've got some interesting things to think about with legendarys here. Will they allow us to "withdraw" a legendary. Maybe it knows which is your original legendary on your account and this is the only one withdrawable.
What happens to my other templates on my account if i upgrade the trinket?
Think about it, my characters could have Slumbering Trinkets, or Twilight / Sunrise.... What would happen if i want to upgrade these to the effects version or Eternity?
Can i take it out on another character?
Will this mean theres cloning opportunities?
Will upgrading this automatically update it on alts?
Does it delete them on other characters and they would need to re-gear?
From a UI point of view, i can see it similar to the current gear on : they might have your account vault show all the armory unlocks but when on a character it could filter it to only gear you can equip.
I think they can add feature incrementally here. I do think some of these could also tack on to Cosmetic loadouts. Similar to how we have a little pvp helmet. What if a Equipment Template Tab has the option to show a cosmetic slot by every individual tabs. We can have a tickbox to override your current items look. The old wardrobe system is still in place. You can perma transmute a skin and it will maintain this look between where you put it. The system i propose essentially is the idea of an overrideable outfit. This will be per equipment tab as such. This might even make equipment slots more intciing to buy (even to people who dont care for the equipment gearing side of the game but more fashion wars). You would have 6 hotswappable custom outfits! (keep in mind they can be keybinded too). With cosmetic slots tied to equipment slots it also means theyre not now quardruple dipping on monetisation.
This could later also lead to share-able equipment templates. As currently this is only on builds. It would be nice to be able to save a general template for this gear. Theres a lot of complications on saving equipment, maybe it is more about best estimate on the stat and find nearest match in inventory. Perhaps a template has a tick on loading / saving... i want to save the stats, look, dye combos? who knows...
I still dream of them giving equipment templates, having each slot have a cosmetics button (similar to the pvp icon). We can give unique looks on each individual equipment item, maybe add a tickbox to override your current gear. Its like your own customizable outfits. (might even make people buy equipment tabs). It might also solve some issues with gear, is it the same gear across all cahracters? How does it handle culturual armor? This system could also lead into the option of loadable gear templates or looks (maybe tickboxes to save dyes, skins, stats). Would be nice if we have equipment templates where they could make a best guess at your saved build.
For the small few who have 9 sets of armor already, not that they need consolation. They do actually get value. An armory is limittied by your equipment tabs. What if you want another equipment setup? Your additional armors can still be used for additional builds (just click through your inventory), it could have a unique look for you too so theres atleast that.
I do wonder though.... My original legendary armor was from WvW. I later got raid armor, what if people aren't incentivized to play raids if they already have legendary armor? ....
Atleast give people a legendary collection reward for each mode.
The trinkets, i wasn't a big fan of how they handled releasing the PVP/WVW trinkets and how the effect doesn't tier up. But... the way they've done it has opened the doors for further legendaries. Perhaps a Saga trinket for strikes, DRMs and currencies? As much as i hate the visual clutter.... i admit it would look pretty sick to see a player with a solar system around them. Maybe mimicking "The All" from Omadd's machine. Proof that you've seen everything gw2 has to offer.
I do love the idea of a legendary back that lets you select to invisible bag / crafting bag etc. They could do a really cool quest for this. Maybe link it to Cantha and the Xunlai?
I think by far the greatest hindrance for those of us who do not WvW or PvP is the acquisition of Mystic Clovers, and to a lesser degree, Mystic Coins. I do my dailies and the Ley-Line anomaly every day but there is only so much that will grant. Over the course of 4 years playing I have 10 Legendaries (12 if you count skins for Twilight and Sunrise) and I have mats probably to do another 2 to 3 easily, but I lack Clovers & Coins, so it is a waiting game. I don't like PvP but I have done enough to have done all the reward tracks that grant extra of these. Now Drizzlewood does help, and has helped, but after grinding out all the achievements including the floating Otter (that I love) I find it hard to keep doing it at this point. the first 100 metas were amazing, now it is just kinda meh. Maybe I'll come back to it later, but for now I just can't anymore. (I actually still have 18 Char Left behind too so I will go back someday just for that if not Clovers)
As for Trinkets I have none, but I did do all the LWS3 & LWS4 achievements for Aurora & Vision, but once I saw someone with them finished I was so underwhelmed by what they looked like that I gave up any idea of doing the crafting part. I just can't get excited about Bubbles, and you are right, the 3 together look a bit ridiculous too.
Anyways, I had this idea a while ago which might help people like me. It wouldn't be Easy, still a mat and time sink overall, but since PvP & WvW both get reward tracks that basically just reward players for just playing and doing stuff, why not have PvE reward tracks too, so people can earn different equipment and items based on a track they choose?? I think it could work, maybe a new tab in the Hero Panel since PvE doesn't have it's own box like the other 2 modes. Would love to hear your thoughts on this idea, perhaps in the expansion.
I doubt there will be a Gen 3 of Legendaries, but I do hope they do Gen 2 for the water weapons and that they do the Airbreather like you said.
Oh and the most fun Legendary to make so far was Chuka & Champawat, the story and quest for that was really fun to do! :)
It is a PoF ring, you start getting the collection with W5, up to and including Dhuum, as the final piece is in the chest behind his throne when you kill it.
I felt burnt out just getting ascended gear. Stopped playing right after, did not even get to use it :,(
Dude right? I'm like half done with a legendary and can't even fathom how these people work through so many. Had to grind WvW and PvP for like a month or two...
There are ways to shorten the grind substantially lol (for instance using boosters for reward tracks etc.) also, time spent efficiently...it’s really easy to get side tracked in GW2 with all of the different things that you have to acquire to craft legendaries. If you step back and look at everything and see the things you can combine into a single effort and maximize your time it’s not so bad. Focus on one thing, get it done and move to the next
The end of IBS .. aquabreather in preparation for EoD which ends up continuing the story with Water Dragon .. Pog
I'm a bit biased when it comes to effects like on legendaries. On the one hand they look awesome. On the other hand it makes animations more difficuly to see imo.
Oh WP... You forgot to talk about another high prestige possibility for the future: Legendary Minipets! ( or even Legendary Extras in general)
Anyway... Great Video! You always find a way to make me play the game again
Great video, but that little red notification on the trading post drove me crazy! Oh and the black and white bit was freaky.
Having the option to turn effects on and off primarily for the trinkets would be really valuable the way you can with the back piece
*cough* I can't believe you didn't talk about adding compatibility for infusions to the wardrobe/hero panel/preview panel.
Full legendary gear and you still can't tell whether an infusion will fit with your look other than the brute-force method of slotting it on after applying transfusions and dyes.
As someone who's been playing for 8 years this grinds my gears more than anything else!
One thing to emphasize is that the benefits come from having multiple *equipment* templates unlocked on each character not build templates as it requires the distinction to which, quite honestly, ArenaNet has arguably over priced and underestimated it's values.
In PvE there's an assumed standard of Power, Condi and support build for a particular profession and that is ignoring variants within specific elite specializations (example: for elementalist, there's power weaver, condi weaver, power tempest, heal tempest, condi tempest). Even if you assume 3 as a maximum, the same or similar exists in WvW. Now you're already capped on equipment templates for the class after only looking through 2 game modes. When it comes to PvP, certain weapons are going to be more used and in different combinations to WvW and PvE which while there's no particular *armor* requirement for a pvp build, the weapons need to line up with a WvW or a PvE one to consider that you "have" an actual overlapping template for PvP; otherwise you're still going to be technically short one.
This problem is actually exacerbated by the fact that to *get* legendary gear you're expected to play all three modes to some effect (gift of battle in particular is a major factor with gift of glory, gift of war being slightly mitigatable considering the currency to purchase them is tradeable). Say for instance that you end up finding a build or mode you particularly enjoy but don't play it frequently. You're not able now to keep equipment templates for that loadout which ultimately forces a player into making a choice to sacrifice an equipment template slot; and especially in a game that promotes altaholism or at least having one of every class, this has an opposite effect that is desired for legendary armor.
All of these issues will partially go away with legendary armory but if and only if they also make the legendary armory reflect transmutation changes.
I am currently working on both Vision and Aurora collections and I have to say I agree with you WP. Vision I feel is fairly easy and very forgettable based on what I've done so far, but Aurora has been a blast. Especially since I haven't been in the LS3 maps in so long and the collection really requires you to go through them. Working on my legendary armor and trinkets has really fueled my drive the play the game and has forced me to experience a lot of content I essentially missed.
I really recommend others to work on that stuff, even if it's just gradually.
While this wouldn't be popular probably but, an open world set of legendary armor would be appreciated like the WvW one. Let it take months of work, plus it not being as flashy, but its the only form of the game (structured pve, structured pvp, unstructured pvp (wvw)) that doesn't have a set. Let it take 100% total map completion (inc every added map), stuff from every world boss and meta...etc
The legendary armoury is really cool, that's one of the things I suggested should be in the game many years ago. I don't want to spend my pve life endlessly creating ascended and swapping stats every expac. Had a few years off and lots of good changes bought me back, lots of new builds and improvements to core game and core builds shining in pvp. If anet can pull of 4 even half decent expansions a year I think they will do really well to breathe even more life into the game. Maybe they can start to increase the playerbase and give gw2 an online presense again.
the reason i dont go for more legendaries is because i love fashion wars so much, i keep switching the skins of my weapons and armour. i really believe legendaries should allow you to use the wardrobe freely without the need to use transmutation charges. as an example, the armor you gain from AP does not require you to spend transmutation charges.
Ask and it shall be provided lol. Legendary gear now is now free to transmute
The reasons you give are pretty much why I'm doing it. I'm almost done with the armor. I have like and medium done, and started crafting the heavy.
freaking bad ass... i like how in GW2 legendary means LEGENDARY.... not something everyone can pretty much get and not that hard... those battle mode transformations are freaking amazing!
Wow. I had no idea there were legendary runes and sigils in the game. Guess that happened while I wasn't paying attention! The functionality of the runes is amazing though. I also hadn't heard about the Legendary Armoury. That DEFINITELY makes me want to get more weapons. After 8 years I'm finally getting serious about completing my first legendary, The Colossus. I'm just down to collecting T6 matts!
I hadn't even thought of this as a long-term goal, and it really appeals to me. (I'm an altoholic so my current project is playing through each option in the personal story for all races.)
This was an awesome video and it turned me on to more things I could do in the game! Thank you for this!
It took me 3 f...ng years, from 2012-2015, to craft my eternity.. seeing all of your legendary stuff...man... I know I will never do this 😅
Leggy infusion, yes. But only if they can be changed in the wardrobe to look like the ones we want (and obviously already have). Would be dumb, i we'd have to throw all our Ghostly's, Peerless and whatnot infusions in the bank only to be able to use the leggy stat-swappeable ones. Or being forced to decide between optics and functionability. Obviously this would also bring a lot of new problems with the leggy armory and how to solve transmuteable infusions, so that they don't get devalued.
Thanks for the motivation, Have been playing for 3 months already got full ascended gear and now working on twilight legendary ^.^
Raiding is hard when the looking for group page is filled with “250li 100kp” groups, I can’t have that many if I can’t raid with them, get kicked without any communication and makes it frustrating to try and get legendary armour as a solo player/pug
"Ah, full Legendary." *transmutes everything so I don't go blind*
WP one of the reasons Vision miht not have stood out for you much is that a lot of the steps in getting vision are tied to Living world episode achievements that you were interested in doing anyway,
Gratz to get them all :)
I'm not really gonna go for it myself, to much weird anymation, I like simple visual more tbh
Have Anet talked about the secenario of having two identical legendaries and how will that work with the legendary armory? Having two frost fangs, or two quips would be redundant? Will just having one frost fang allow you to equip it to both off hand and main hand slots? Or will you need to have two frost fangs to equip in both slots?
If you still don't know, Legendaries are "free" skins, meaning once unlocked you can freely transmute it onto any appropriate gear
So, once frostang is unlocked, both hands can wield it assuming both hands have an axe
as for draw & step effects, main hand takes priority
@@Konpekikaminari this is incorrect, legendaries in general are free to swap the skin, meaning you don’t need a transmutation charge. Ascended axe needs to use a transmutation charge to add the frost fang skin. My question was originally directed at the function of the legendary armory, not the transmutation charge function. The legendary armory can hold duplicates of legendary axes and can hold a maximum of 4 legendary axes. So the correct answer to my previous question would be having two frost fangs or two quips would NOT be considered redundant IF you play a class can can wield both legendary duplicates at the same time, example: pistol/pistol thief or axe/axe warrior.
@@proto-t7k I missed the armory part
On the cosmetics of legendaries, I really like how the PvP and WvW legendary trinkets don't necessarily have visuals, and if there were a way to suppress the visuals on the other trinkets, I'd actually make them. Even better, though, would be a means in the UI to turn on or off various effects, such as those trinkets', or, say, the Shining Blade's emblem footfalls. I've heard you comment derisively for years about "fashion" in GW2, either in terms of people trying to show off rarity/prestige or trying to be as obnoxiously flashy as possible, but there are plenty of players who take the game's visuals seriously and would love opportunities to exercise more control over their looks. Believe it or not, there truly are people who want to turn some of the flash off. Some items can even be quite understated, like the raid legendary light armor gloves along with a chestpiece with sleeves (the diviner chest, for instance), which hides the huge bracers and makes your character look they're wearing magical rings that give off a subtle aura.
Actually got all of the trinkets ready to be made Legendary, but due to the flashiness they're gathering dust on a crafting alt, lol.
Also, don't forget the check box, where it lets you change all the pieces all at once, instead of one at a time.
LOL, you covered it, never mind =)
Thank you MAN!, i haven't played in 4-5 years and i just reinstalled and jumped back in to confusion, LOL, I have Juggernaut and Bolt, so i KNOW THE GRIND FOR SURE, especially how it was back in the day, My though tells me it will be easier nowdays cause games always tend to dumb theings down overtime.
Great vid tho, i appreciate u
I find it interesting that a lot of features people have requested in the past would have actually been ideas with the armory cming out. Like people requesting the option to craft multiple auroas etc.
The stat switching is the best part for me and what motivates me to try to get a full set
But... but there is no legendary aqua-breather XD
Come on Anet, the game is literally unplayable because of this! XD
Honestly I'm way too casual for this stuff. The skyscale was enough of a grind for me but this would be way too much. I work a lot so I really dont like playing a game once something feels like a second job I have to work at to get something. So im content with my ascended gear.
been playing since launch and still 0 legendary weapons.
I really hope we get a gen 3 legendary weapons
Congratz on your legendary set WP! I'm currently working on my fourth legendary (already have Ascension, Aurora and Vision), so your video was pretty inspiring. However, I'm currently working on Conflux and kind of hating it because of how many hours I need to spend in a game mode I really don't like. I'm kind of hoping they add alternative versions for the ring and the amulet via PvE tbh (even if I end up getting Conflux). I don't want to have to go back to sPvP for another legendary... especially with the current state of the mode with all the hackers and whatnot.
To get a +30 agony infusion I believe you'd need 536,870,912 +1 agony infusions, that's a lot of running fractals
Video title: "The Ultimate Character"
Video starts with an Asura
Nice
Legendary character slots - you can freely customize character's appearance, name and profession there without resetting progress :D
one thing they could do as an animation/visual for a legendary is to change like the heal skill animation. the weapons change the visual of some skills mainly the projectiles effect why not have one that changes the heal skill visual. you use the heal enough that you will see the change but its also not omnipresent. just an idea.
I remember grinding and hunting for Rurik's armor and being proud of it, not sure it is even a thing now...
Very Interesting Video.
Its true that the legendary armory is the feature tan can help legendary armor the best.
The difference about Aurora and Vision is something that happened to a lot of players and mostly it was because when aurora was launched nobody was expecting the item (I remembered that mystic coins skyrocket in price because aurora, people doing legendaries for the POF specs, and also the fear that most LS3 maps where going to be abandoned after pof launch.. ) For Vision was different, most players alredy where doing the grindy archivements...before vision started. So maybe the 40% was done before launch. Moreover vision was tied heavily with the Skycale. They where the same path.
I am not against raiding, pvp or mvm (I am doing Pvp for my legend armor and Wvw for the Trinket) But the game can offer a variant of PVE open world Legend Armor that its very difficult to get. For example... We have lots of armor, weapons collections That can be tied for this. Dungeoneer for example. Also some heavy currency in metas or multiple map completions. If a normal Legendary Armor could take 5-6 months in average in Hard try player.. Open World had to be like 1 year.
I have so many ascended trinkets, that I don't think I'll ever go for the legendary trinkets. Legendary armor is something I am working towards as I change my stats around every few months, but it's not dire as in I need it now. Especially as I can swap out stats through the use of the mystic forge. I think it's great for cosmetics, but it's too flashy for me. I would most likely end up overwriting the skins for a different look. I have one legendary weapons (Kudzu) and working towards Twilight. But I won't be doing the Raid aspect for legendary armor, I'll stick with WvW. I play with small guilds, who are casual players so we don't do any raiding.
I hope that ANet goes back and makes all the legendary trinkets more visually cohesive. Have 1 thing floating above and each trinket adds another little thing instead of it changing forms.
Oh wow! I hadn't heard about the armory feature! That makes me much more interested in pursuing more legendaries.
You can also buy the Celebratory Enrichment from the laurel vendor, for pretty cheap as well..
or does it only get unlocked after you get the 8th year present, I wouldn't know..
Yeah only unlocks after
okies
and I'm still struggling to get exotic equipments for all my characters
Portals and rifts open around his character. "Oh this is basic"
man..this game is soo deep..i play it for a loong time and still not done with 50 percent of stuff out there :D
vision was insane for me, because of the season4 weapons. the Astral weapons were an insane time sink, same with the dragon blood weapons.
Vision wasn't necessarily easier , though i fount it was. Its mainly because you had already achieved a number of the achievment requirements on the way. Keep in mind for vision the material cost was a little offset for this season compared to season 3. You had already obtained a stack of each map currency to spend on the skyscale. And you needed the skyscale for vision.... so to some extent it was cheaper...to some extent it was more expensive
I completed every legendary item once on october 2020. Hopefully runes and sigils will be covered in the legendary amory, otherwise it will be pain in the ass for every character. And hopefully they will add up to 12 templates. I play 8 builds with my Guardian and i started to gear up another guardian with ascended gear, cause it was frustating swapping everything often. If that happen, this would be awesome
Vision just seems easier because we knew what we had to do in season 4 to get it.
I still remember when Aurora came out, I noticed i still had to complete every chapter mastery and every collection of season 3 for it. Which was something I really didn't bother before.
So i had to go back to every map, to every story to complete it all at the same time.
So when Season 4 came out, i did every achievement when the chapter released. So when eventually Vision came out, i completed already most things.
This makes a lot of sense
People also assumed based on Aurora , that we would need to hoard a stack of each currency. However, that went towards the skyscale.
If i recall correctly, vision came a bit after
I'd like to see legendary mounts where you get access to all the skins for that mount type and maybe one exclusive skin as well.
That has no sense, all the mount skins cost gems, if you get that legendary mount you wouldn't buy gems anymore for mount skins, and anet doesn't want that.
A cool feature will be unlocking a exclusive mount skin of you complete the corresponding set (for example if you unlock all the skins from the new horizons set you get an exclusive skin)
I hope they release an armor set obtainable in PvP without raiding.
I think that it could be nice if it was tied with the Fractal God title perhaps.
Coalescence for been difficult to me because I've not managed Dhuum yet, which prevents you doing the other collections in the other wings.
Arena NEEDS to nerf the requirement of this, it is not even because the amount of gold that you need to invest, but the amount of TIME. And time is invaluable.
