ArenaNet Staff Fire Attunement.9835 Posted March 20, 2020 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted March 20, 2020 We want to talk a little about our plans for the next update that will affect the suite of templates features, and gather your feedback about what you hope to see from it.We’re calling it the Legendary Armory.Here’s a quick description of how it will work—when you bind a legendary item to your account, it will be added to the Legendary Armory. Any legendary item that is added to the Legendary Armory will become available for use by all the characters across your entire account at the same time. This removes the need for you to swap legendary equipment between characters through your bank or shared inventory. This feature will also come with updates to Equipment Template functionality to make it easier to copy the configuration of equipped legendary items from one Equipment Template to another template on the same character.Here are our goals for the Legendary Armory feature:Make it feel more valuable to earn and use legendary equipment, while also making it easier to use legendary items with the Equipment Template feature.Remove the need for players to swap account-bound legendary items between characters.Make it easier to copy the configuration of equipped legendary items from one Equipment Template tab to another template on the same character.Let us know your thoughts in this thread. Thank you all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 this is great. was wondering when this would be done. good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFury.6243 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 this the best idea ever in GW2tyeditis that include legendary runes and sigils?????when we ll get a legendary underwater breather ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 One important thing missing ... will there is any changes to how skins are handled?I am very much not interested in using the same armor skins and dyes across all characters with the same armor weight.Edit: Will this apply to legendary runes and sigils as well?Edit 2: Also what about underwater? Having to make an extra rune because of the breather and having to make 8 instead of 4 sigils to cover underwater feels kinda awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Cynosure.1840 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Will we be able to have the armor be transmuted to look different on each individual character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shejesa.3712 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 What about people who have 9 sets for each of their classes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Sounds fantastic. Keep up the good work!And good communication. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jski.6180 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 That would be nice would you have one set of legendary equipment or would you still need light set mid set and hev set? (Or is there a hint in here about things to come?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumat.1479 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have a question: I have 9 legendary armor sets, 9 legendary backpacks, a lot of weapons. What compensation will I get when this update comes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calisanna.8732 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This just made my day. Thanks for considering our requests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPMN.1483 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This is a minor QoL item - however which then concerns me is the following with the legendary item:Infusionssigils (Ordinary ones - inc legendary ones!)Runes (Ordinary ones - inc legendary ones).These were originally bound to that item - Where is that left ? on the character that had the weapon?-- please start to think this through properly on how it would work and give a better update; What does not work is the 'build template' part of the characters (especially the "equipment loadouts") . "Equipment Template functionality" - needs the ability to be saved to an external source ASAP. I would even prioritise that above this update that is being talked about in this post and the feedback that legendary items are devalued is due to the fact that equipping a legendary item forgets all these aspects of the item. It takes too long to configure a legendary item if it is put on a character, the runes, sigils and infusions and costs far too much with the equipment loadout function across multiple characters.The fact the legendary gear looses all its upgrades, sigils, infusions when copied to another character makes this impossible to use even with this update that is proposed.... Right now it is easier to have another ascended weapon on a character and have that than this system even with the proposed changes as above. For one class, I may have the need for the following equipment templates which includes 'gear and armor loadouts which vary': 6-7 raid equipment loadouts ; 6 FoTM builds; 3 PvP builds; 2-3 WvW Builds; 2-3 Builds.Please start listening to your consumers.

wheelsonheels.1937 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 What about our equipment and build templates, will this mean we will have to buy enough for each character that we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriaen.7895 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Are there any plans to refund/restore base items of the armor for players who have more than 1 copy of each set of armor? Asking that question for myself and many others who crafted more than 1 set of legendary armor per weight tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSun.4321 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This fits the idea of GW2 being a game that's very supportive of alt creation, and I agree with this design choice and direction.However, it leads to the issue of skins attached to the legendary gear. While sure, you can just use more outfits and neglect using skins outside of your mains there issue becomes bigger if you want to use racial skins on your legendary armor. My guardian has a full set of legendary armor, however he uses some sylvari skins. I won't be able to use this feature to equip my warrior with the armor because of the racial skin lock, which defeats the whole purpose of this update. Either I need to go with armor skins I'm less happy with, or forgo using the armor outside of a single character, or maybe even I am forced to re-roll my warrior as sylvari.I'd like to see in a future update, the separation of skins away from armor so they function more like outfits. This would allow for a greater exchange of legendary gear between characters and would fit with the design direction you're going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronos.6532 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The Legendary Armory is definitely the best way to handle this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrenna.5970 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 this is SO COOL! just PLEASE PLEASE make it so we can still have different skins on different characters!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry.1420 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Does it include legendary trinkets too? Does it allow dual wielding weapons of the same weapon? (i.e. Make one bolt, add to armory and dual wield sword/sword on a mesmer?)Does it include legendary sigils and runes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bovan.9481 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This is great and I'm happy for it, but is there some sort of compensation for the people who crafted multiple sets of the same legendary armor or weapons so they wouldn't have to swap gear around on their account?

Lizdeath.5143 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Legendary Armoury visual effects being able to be turned on and off would be niceAs would a footfall skin slot whose skins are only unlocked by having unlocked the corresponding legendary weapon.

xAtri.9378 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Awesome update. Thank you so much!However, how will it affect people who have made more than 3 weights of legendary armour. I have 2 sets of Heavy and 2 sets of Light legendary armour.This update basically wastes all the resources spent on those items. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice.4215 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I want all my characters to be have Aurora+Vision+Coalescence effect at the same time, and please add 2 more PvE Legendaries that actually combine into a 5-trinket-effect with the previous 3. Please and Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimjack.8130 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 @Fire Attunement.9835 Will you be fixing the Legendary Armor and Weapons taking off sigils, runes, and infusions when swapping the actual piece of gear for another as well? I think this would be a great change to go along with the Armory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
