Seems like they're doing variations on the spear like with the Aurene legendaries. A variety of looks is surely a good thing to appeal to more players' sensibilities.
As someone with 2 Aurene legendaries, they just look like Black Lion skins with extra steps. Best were gen 2 followed by gen 1 in terms of actually being unique. If it's anything like Exordium I'll hands down craft it over Kamo-Kotaki spear.
@@Pixelbendr Some of the weapons from the first and second gen look nice (while the rest look like garbage) and combining them into one nice look is unrealistic, so yes, the third gen is currently the best.
@@vanhohenheim9083 "best" is subjective, but gen1 and 2 are objectively the most unique legendaries. There are no 2 models the same. Like I said, gen3 are just Black Lion skins with extra steps.
@@Pixelbendr ""best" is subjective"- Yes. You wrote your opinion about the best generation, I wrote mine. "There are no 2 models the same."- And that makes them my immersion nightmare and as I mentioned earlier most of them are ugly. "Like I said, gen3 are just Black Lion skins with extra steps."- And that makes them perfect in my eyes.
Had a bit of a chuckle at the legendary spear's name - Klo means claw in Norwegian, and Bjarne is a common (though maybe a bit old fashioned nowadays?) name, so to me it just sounds like Bjarne down the street who is good at the claw grip on controller or something. Though on a more serious note, it might be worth noting that I believe Bjarne is derived from "Bjørn", which means bear, so in a more serious sense the spear is literally "Claw-Bear".
The Lowland Koden are alright with elementalists. They have tons of elementalist guards, usually in earth or water attunement. I think they're sus of specialized, "unnatural" magic like wizard stuff, and mesmer and necromancer techniques.
I think that the new spear will have different looks depending on the class of your toon. Warrior - classic spear look. Elementalist - Trident look. And so on. Depending if they are melee or ranged.
If it’s 6 variants it doesn’t cover all classes, and I don’t think they‘d leave some out if they would make it class based. It could be a ranged and a melee option per weight class though, or 6 weapon types depending on what the spear is used as in the skill since we can see it sometimes looks like and axe or a gs
@ginster458 That can be true also. The reason I said what I said is because there are not 9 different ways the classes use the spear. Some of the classes use the same animations. Like Thief and Ranger. They both have hybrids from melee to range and both swing relatively the same way. Ele and Warrior throw the spear and Necro and Mesmer are strict melee.
I forgot the new Spear was coming w' this update. Might be nice to pivot away from the SotO legendary armour essence grind. God is it destroying my soul. Will be interesting to see all of the different forms, though I am not looking forward to the Mursaat Runestone grind from chests 😢 Thankfully, I've had a character parked at the bee jumping puzzle in Lowland Shore for daily Runestones. I am also looking forward to the WvW changes! Cannot wait!
This might be a reach, but I think the lege spear is only the glowing one in the trailer and the "trident" is a staff/spear skin set that will be in the WV for 150AA like there is every shop reset. I'm pretty sure that previous "major patch" update videos were featuring WV skins
So they remade the same Boss 4 times over? I mean, yeah being able to reuse assets for faster content release cadence (which agruably had not become any faster than before during the Living World), but this is really pushing it. "Raid." Yeah, right. Just imagine doing a daily or weekly rotation of the newest content in the newest expansions.... and it's the same boss 4 times back to back. That is not something that would remotely exite me as a player.
Defending a point or Tower in WvW really needs to grant some kind of participation. Regularly I defend a point without getting kills so I get no participation. Why should I bother playing WvW anymore?
It honestly makes sense for the nature-oriented Kodan to have a legendary weapon that 'morphs' into different shapes like that, now that I think of it. It almost looks like the tines shorten, fuse, and/or lengthen based upon the skill/class being used.
Feels like some of the story is going to be put behind the raid. Guess they've done that before and I've survived lol, just kinda annoying. I don't mind doing Convergence though. Raids are just too much anxiety inducing for me. I'm glad for both coming in- it just doesn't leave anything for new map exploration and no news on any fixes/updates to the current 2 maps. Sooo we're gonna have to be held over with just a weekly Raid and a daily Convergence that both sound exactly the same for the next 3 months. I'm sure that won't backfire or anything... heh.. only half sarcastic.
I still hope that one day they will add back the ability to buy gifts of war with wvw currency or earnable in pve, considering in pve we as commanders have been through plenty of war with the elder dragons, a god, (im)mortal lich, charr civil war and more P.s i just hate the sweating of commanders going on discord with those commanders and theyre so tryhard and swearing at people because they dont do x or y even tho theyre pve people
So they use the same bosses for the story, as world bosses and as bosses for the new raid and convergence? But we can put furniture in a house now so yeah worth it I guess...
17:21 my reation was the same. I get that it's just a snippet but based on what I see even wtih the different vairants I don't really look the overall look of it. I think how thin it is makes it look frail, like it's gonna break at any moment. The aesthetic only matches one of my warrior's looks and they just nerfed it out of orbid in wvw so I'm really considering not making it. I'm sure it fits some people's taste though.
Maybe it's just me, but I've been disinterested in Janthir Wilds story for some reason. The story isn't bad, per say, but it's very... meh. So it's hard for me to care about an update. At least the maps are fun.
If you're thinking about this new Legendary Spear being one of WV rewards then I highly doubt that. More like it will require a bunch of materials from new exp craft it for sure. Time will tell...
Did anyone else have their three halloween rewards from the wizards vault disappear this week? I was holding mine to collect right before the season reset, and they just went "poof" during one of my pvp matches...
@@Primal_Chaos I am wondering if there was some sort of timer on them that was not visible. I have a ticket in, but have not heard back on it yet and likely never will, so was curious if I was the only person experiencing it.
Wizard Vault items go away - if you don't collect your daily or weekly (or a specific item's reward on the list), it will be gone after the respective reset. The special tab is no different, just with months of cooldown, and that sometimes new items appear on it. The festival specials get added when the festival comes online, and they get removed when it gets shut down. Always collect WV rewards, AA comes quickly and easily enough that you can always clean the shop anyway.
@ thanks. The timer on the special tab is the only timer on them, so that is poor design. It should tell you when they expire, especially if they are completed.
That rather HUGE bit of story info at about 55s into the video is going to cause a LOT of screaming and whining about spoilers.... Also, one of the kids is a panda? Weird...
Three story chapters mean its the same story length as the quarterly story updates just like SotO. Also, raid bosses are greer + decima and possibly Uma? Convergence is basically a public raid? Meh. Leggy spear looks good tho.
Klob-jarn? Is that what they landed on for the name of the lege spear? It's as bad as 'haboob' and that other ridiculous ele spear skill which i can only make 'scandanavian sounds' in my head to say. I suppose i'll google it and it will have roots in some nordic folklore somehow. I know they modelled JW on Iceland, but god-damn with the horrible names for things.

Agreed! There seems to be no point to defend!

yikes
thank god the cat stopped stepping and went to sleep :)
holy, the take control made me jump
Your cat meows exactly like mine... I was confused
When will they fix PVP team creation?
My guess is the spier will look different for heavy, medium and light armor classes
I finnally got my Atari console to accept a GW2 cartridge
I think Ura gave them a power boost.
Feels like some of the story is going to be put behind the raid. Guess they've done that before and I've survived lol, just kinda annoying. I don't mind doing Convergence though.

Maybe we are also getting now tridents to be used on land :P. Why only the spear got some love here lol
The spear is a trident?
Still wanting to see Thieves get a greatsword
Not super into the potential spear design
"maybe it's like a caffeine-free Exordium" lmaooooo
1:11 what the heck is that armor? It started glowing the moment he draws the weapon???
Medium legendary raid armor (the glowing wing is the chest)
i may be wrong but to me it's nothing more than the already available Raid armor, looks to be intermediate since it extends into another jacket
@@tienduong2863ah thanks 🙏🏽
Looks sick 🙃
@@Kreyznthx, I didn’t know.
I still trying to figure out this game 🙃
Does the commander have to stick his nose into everything??

Finally a new raid that 95% of players wont do.
That cat looks so lonely. Is there a cat depression hotline ?
looks like a king of the hill map
spears need some more attention, most of them are not worth using even though they are fun

I hope they decide to shorten the refresh time for rewards in the wizard's vault.
i have a feel new raid will be a super chore, i expect to be showered with conditions dragged knocked around and being one shoted bt mechanics 😂
People please ? Can anyone here confince me to buy janthir wild ? I was so disappointed at soto, i refused buying janthir. 😅
Can't wait to see how they nerf mirage this time around.
Did anyone else have their three halloween rewards from the wizards vault disappear this week? I was holding mine to collect right before the season reset, and they just went "poof" during one of my pvp matches...

@Cimarb mine did show "X days left" before expiration, I guess they just didn't expect people to save the completed ones for more than a week?
100% didnt buy the expansion because there is no soo wan spear, maybe they have a chance to salvage this game breaking mistake.
VP are an awful idea, it will result in queues and people not playing 2am anymore. Not everyone live in US or Europe, ffs
NA prime time or EU prime time, not prime time for everyone. Clearly targetting SEA and OCX players making our efforts worth less.
You are correct, I misread that.
i get a slight elden ring spear vibe from the new legie.... but ... just a bit
