Not only for legendarys, also for other weapons, armors, the open world and also the characters themself. If i compare the fur of my charrs with the texture details of the newest armors, I could cry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorani.7205 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Legendary items are your ultimate QoL item, I don't think they should be judged by the looks they have, developing from gen 1 to gen 3. Getting the Binding of Ipos was skin choice over The Minstrel (the only one, where looks played a role), trying to rush The Juggernaut for my Ele (just to find out I could not get a nice flow out of it) was a little bit annoying. Transmuting the skins to something I like (usually low key flashy) is a fate I think all my armour pieces had to go through. Weapons, I think have been transmuted around 50% with all my characters.

All depends on personal preferences. Although speaking of regrets I will probably stop using the Soo-Won + Jormag skin combos. Hitting myself with a flashbang every time I draw/swap weapon. Gen3's biggest benefit is being easy to color match with the rest of your gear. 8 hours ago, Napo.1230 said: The only one I regret is HOPE just because it's so quiet, wish it was dreamer levels of loud!! The difference is probably not the volume but the distinctiveness of the sound. HOPE's sound is a relatively generic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I regret Bolt. It’s the only one I never use. I really have no idea why I made it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNecrosanct.4028 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) No regrets whatsoever, especially not since they released the Armory. The main draw of legendaries for me is the QoL (the free stat/rune/sigil/infusion switching) and I get to have it on all my characters now. As for skins, some I transmute and some I don't. I like far from all the skins but it's not as if I'm very particular in my taste either. So far I've managed to craft only skins that I like, covering even the dual weapons, but if the skins don't match the aesthetics of my character I transmute them. I just have to commit to spending some extended time in WvW to get the tickets for a second ring and then I'm fully covered. Except for the rifle and hammer, since none of my characters use either and I've rarely used them in the past. But I have all the materials needed to make them if I want/need to, though. It pays to be a hoarder. 😉 Edited May 29, 2023 by TheNecrosanct.4028 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1508 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 (edited) Not a regret as much, more it seems way over grind and priced for what you get tbh.. especially the later ones. I just don't see the point of later ones outside of elitism mostly. Edited May 29, 2023 by Dante.1508 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nethertale.9301 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Every character is so overboard shining, looking like a purple mist, black hole or universe or whatever, I don't think there's any meaning to legs now besides playing around with stats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who couldn’t find one of the vision armor boxes on their account and the skin wasn’t unlocked even though the achievement was complete. Since it’s a one time, account bound thing, and would forever block access to vision, support restored the armor box to the account with a warning to be more careful deleting items.

In 2021 they added the ability to craft 2nd gen legys multiple times by letting you buy the gift/chest from Hobbs again for any collections you have completed. Since then it shouldn't be possible to screw yourself completely over a mistake like that anymore (although you obviously still lose some gold).

leila.7962 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hell yea, I regret making Ad Infinitum because I already had The Ascension, with the legendary armory it became a loss of money really.. since you can't equip two backpieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrison Storm.3046 Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Way back when I initially made Twilight, used it for awhile and got more than a little grief when my competitive play didn't justify the 'legendary' aspect of the weapon... which of course is ridiculous, since you can simply grind away (or buy outright through the gemstore if you are so inclined) to obtain; it reflects nothing of player skill or experience... Still it got to me, and fortunately had a profitable exit strategy, where I was able to build Sunrise, immediately convert to Eternity and sell... So, I don't regret the journey and the eventual outcome was lucrative, but was it worth the aggravation and toxicity in between?... Probably not. Since then and way more recently, I crafted Frostfang, as I had decided that I was ready and confident enough to actually equip a Legendary again, and was familiar with the ease of Gen1 crafting... But I really didn't love the look of it (and skinning a Legendary just felt blasphemous!), but in this case I came to the realization before I had finished, so once I completed, I put it aside, available to sell... So not really regret there... The change of direction with Frostfang stemmed from the look of Astralaria, so I embarked on that grueling misery challenging adventure and ended up with the Gen2 weapon that I couldn't back out of... While I liked the look of Astralaria itself, I wasn't in love with the shimmering one-arm effect.. but since I was a running a dual-axe Soulbeast, I then thought... Why not a second Astralaria? The collections aspect of the second precursor build were avoided, so it become simply a matter of gathering the mats... and in conclusion, the double-arm shimmer seems to work much better, and as a bit of an AP enthusiast, it also got me the 'Twice Told Legend'; an achievement that I had previously (and probably rightfully) concluded was an utter waste of resources!!! 🙂 TL;DR: Twilight - Yes, some regret. Astralaria x 2... Jury is still out, but still enjoying the playstyle so... not yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, actually I'm here with this too. I have all raid armor, 5 pieces of pvp armor and 1 piece of wvw armor...obviously no refunds and unlike you I didn't even get a skin / glider, they're just the same skin as the ascended ones, haha... I even have some more materials needed to craft PvP/WvW legy armor lying around on a mule cause I still wanted to craft them, had the precursor armor...can't bear to throw them away, lol. Also have some progress on Ad Infinitum collection but thankfully not that much gold sunk into that before armory hit.
