Hey Guild Wars Community! Now that the release of the third generation of legendary weapons draws nearer, I wanted to ask: What are your five most liked legendary weapons so far? And to make it even more interesting: What are your five most disliked weapons from generation one and two? If you want, you can also add extra information and elaborate on why you like or dislike a certain legendary. Or if you only really like/dislike two or three, then just post those! So here is my list! My five most liked legendary weapons (in descending order): 1. The Flameseeker Prophecies → I just love this legendary! The whole design of the base shield is extremely detailed and intricate. But its effects when drawn just add a whole new level of magnificence! The blue and radiating light enhances the “protective” area of the shield and the blue turning pages of the book make this legendary feel “alive”. 2. Eternity (includes Sunrise and Twilight) → What can I say? A literal blade made of sunlight or the darkness of the universe? Awesome! And the smear like effect when swung is also great. Eternity adds on the magnificence of Sunrise and Twilight by enhancing the aura and adding the beautiful gemstone on the pommel. I wish there was a whole set of weapons in the style of these greatswords! 3. Pharus → It has a relatively simple Design and it’s not super extravagant in terms of its effects, but I just adore its look! It reminds of an elven bow from Lord of the Rings but infused with cleansing light. And the fact that it turns all arrows into light arrows is just amazing. I also love that its name is derived from the ancient Greek lighthouse “Pharos”, which stood at the harbor of Alexandria. 4. Astralaria → I love this one for similar reasons that I love Eternity for. The whole “cosmos theme” is just something I really enjoy. 5. Bifrost → This one may be contentious, but as you can already see, I just love “light themed” legendaries. Bifrost reminds me of Gandalf the White`s staff from LotR but enhanced with the spectrum of the rainbow. The rotating gemstones around the staff just round off the whole look and look really nice. My five most disliked legendary weapons (in descending order): 1. The Dreamer → This is probably unsurprising. It looks horrid, but I could even forgive its look IF and only IF it would not make this absolutely horrible horse sound every time some shoots it. This is the only legendary which can actively annoy people and it takes only one person in a huge Meta-event with it, to annoy 30+ people. But hey, at least we got Chuka and Champawat, so we at least have one good looking shortbow. 2. The Moot → Another one of those legendaries that just feel like they do not belong in the game. A disco ball on a stick with trumpets? Really? The only good thing about this legendary is that one can craft a cheap legendary mace for the utility, if one so desires. 3. Quip → What an abomination! And another one of these “joke legendaries”. No further explanation needed. 4. Flames of War → Oh boy, before the release of this thing, so many players eagerly awaited another legendary torch, because Rodgort is just kind of ugly and boring. But then we got this: A candlestick with horrid design and equally terrible effects. It does not even look like it belongs into a fight. It does not look like a weapon, more like an ugly old antique on a flea market. 5. Shooshadoo → An ice shield? Sign me up! Oh wait…. It`s a freaking Quaggan in an aquarium! No thanks! This had so much potential! But the developers decided to put one of the most ugly and annoying races (fight me on that!) into a fishbowl… Why would one even use such a thing as a shield? It looks like it could break at the first hit it takes. I mean, I really dislike Quaggans, but even I would not put one of them into a glass and use it to defend myself. Animal abuse is not ok! ^^ All of this is – of course – just my opinion. If you like any of these last 5 legendaries then enjoy them, because I mean no offense to anyone! So, what are your personal favourite and least favourite legendaries?

The title pretty much says it all. It would be so awesome, if we were able to "lock" the appearance of Eternity to either "day mode" or "night mode"! I know that the swapping of the greatswords appearance depending on the time of day is a core feature of this legendary, but it never hurts to give the players more options to create great looking fashion designs does it not? The people who want their Eternity to continue to swap betwenn day and night could just leave it so and all others could pick the appearance they want to stay. Why do I want this for the community? Well, e.g. right now I have a (in my opinion) rahter cool looking archangel look on one of my characters. It loosely represents the character Auriel from Diablo. https://i.imgur.com/f4wPGAn.jpg As you can see on the picture, the whole theme is heavily inspired by "light" and bright colours. Eternity fits perfectly into this but ONLY in its "day appearance". It is just annoying that when the server time shifts to night, my greatsword switches to the not at all fitting Twilight look. To solve this I COULD switch to my Sunrise, but a) this is annoying to do and more importantly b.) Sunrise does not have all of the same awesome effects that Eternity has (such as the better footfalls and the gemstone on the pommel) Arenanet really did the community a great service with adding the option to toggle Aurora, Vision etc. Now it would be awesome to add such a toggle for day mode and night mode to Eternity! Please add this Arenanet!

Thank you for your answer! I was under the impression that one would only get a Memory of Sunrise/Twilight, if one crafted them before the launch of the armory. I did not know that you apparently still get them when binding newly crafted Sunrise/Twilight. Well in that case I am gonna craft Twilight, bind it and then craft Eternity with the Memories! 2 more greatswords for the cost of just 1 sounds awesome 😄 Again, thank you!

Hi folks, I have 2 questions about crafting Eternity. I did not find any other information on these specific questions here or per Google. But if this has indeed already been answered pls forgive me ^^ Question number 1: I currently have an account bound Sunrise (because I crafted it years ago) and therefore also have a Memory of Sunrise. If I craft Twilight now and combine the Twilight with my Memory of Sunrise, will I be able to craft Eternity with that combination of items? Because everywhere I look, the recipe for Eternity always either only mentions combining the 2 “real” Greatswords or the 2 Memories. Can I mix them and still craft Eternity with that? Question number 2: If I were able to craft Eternity with this method, would I retain my Sunrise (which is now part of my legendary armory)? So, would I then have 2 legendary greatswords (then Sunrise and Eternity) or would my current Sunrise disappear from my legendary armory and would I therefore be stuck with only Eternity? Thank you in advance :D

First some examples of the aforementioned "3D" effect, which is only visible on LOW shaders: And the following is a sample image of how the skin looks with shaders on medium or high.Note the complete absence of the "3D" effect.

Hello GW2-devs and community,I want to report a gem store skin, which is probably buggy. There seems to be a bug with the “Aurene’s Prismatic Raptor” skin. This skin has a really beautiful “3D” effect. By that I mean the rainbow colored reflections of the player riding the raptor, which trail behind the player, when he is riding the raptor in a straight line with this skin equipped. The problem/bug is that this effect is ONLY visible when the player sets the “shaders” option to low.At medium or high, this effect does not occur at all, although a higher shader setting should display this beautiful effect. For example, with higher shaders, the gem store mount skin "Vital Geode" for the bunny shows much more beautiful and complex reflections. So it does not make sense for the Prismatic Raptor skin to display a much more complex (and gorgeous) reflection effect with the lowest shader option, but not with a higher one. The raptor skin looks much more beautiful with this effec, but putting the game on "low shaders" makes everything else much more ugly. I am sure many people don't even know that this raptor skin has this awesome effec. I only found it by luck through this video: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/iko7xp/aurenes_prismatic_raptor_effects_and_dye_channels/ If this effect were added for medium and high shaders, it would also certainly attract more buyers. Please fix this ArenaNet and make this already awesome mount skin even better :) (As this is my first forum post, I am not quite sure how to add pictures, but if requested, I could provide a comparison of the low shader effect and the higher shader one.)
