Crell.6401 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Fine. Don't give us more progress in Legendary Relics for crafting additional runes as originally announced. But give us 'something' compensation wise. We crafted based on what you announced. 7 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even understand that it probably is an improvement. However, one of the huge QoL things of legendaries for me was to HAVE ALL THE THINGS ON RELEASE WITHOUT JUMPING THROUGH ALL THE HOOPS. If ANet wants people to jump through some hoops for the new Relic of Awesome attach it to a collection that is fun to do, gives a skin and maybe 5AP and people will do it. If ANet wants people to jump through some hoops for the new Relic of Awesome hide the hoops in engaging gamelpay so the hoops don't feel like hoops. I'd put it differently: If Anet want new players to engage with the new content, then they should perhaps try to make that content good and engaging. Instead, it looks to me like they'd prefer to replace it with classic gear grind (something many people came to this game in order to avoid). I know that for developers gear grind is a simpler and cheaper solution than bothering to make a good content, but for players it is a downgrade. If they cannot/don't want to make a good content anymore, then perhaps they should just stop and close the shop instead of trying to pretend they still care. 10 6 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang.2137 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I just want to make sure. So if I make one legendary rune, let's say tomorrow, I will still receive a legendary relic for free, or does it only work if I made the rune before this announcement?

ViolentMuffin.9573 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Well, it's great that compensation is so low effort, but I'm not thrilled about unlocking effects. I'm lazy xD so if I did the job of getting a lege, then I want it's full utility at all times. 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep seeing this, but I don't understand it. You have seven runes. That in itself is the benefit. You also get a free relic. What's the problem? If you crafted seven runes thinking it would get you a free relic before an official announcement (today), well, that's just poor planning. But guess what, you get a free relic anyway! Congrats!

Quote ...it became clear that the best choice was to fully compensate anyone who had made any legendary runes prior to the relic becoming available with a completed legendary relic. So yes, if you make a legendary rune now (prior to legendary relics being released) you get the legendary relic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they are giving those who held off on creating legendary runes until more information about the relic compensation was available time to now act on that information is a solid show of consideration for their customers and deserves kudos. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aguileitus.2618 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I am a little confused with something, maybe because English is not my first language, but in the article it looks like there is a differentiation about "legendary relics" (in plural) and "legendary relic" (in singular). Look at this line for example: Quote Now we’re happy to announce that when legendary relics become available, any player who has already crafted at least one legendary rune will be granted a legendary relic for free. They mention "legendary relics" but then they say "you will be granted A legendary relic", they make it look like they are going to be more than one or is it just my misunderstanding of the language? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are speaking of the plural quantity that the player base will be acquiring only one of per account. Each account will only need to unlock 1 relic. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isnt a lie, its a change of mind in an environment where openness to change is necessary. If you tell your significant other that you will pick up dinner at their favorite restaurant on the way home, but discover that the block where the resataurant sits is not easily accessible due to an accident or something, would it be a lie to pick a different place? 6 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenKeriti.5176 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) I'm...actually reasonably happy with this. I was one of the people who got screwed over by the legendary rune -> SoTO relics announcement last year (made the runes literally 2 weeks before relics were announced), and that was and has been the biggest reason I have refused to buy SoTO. I am legit (pleasantly) surprised that I don't have to grind out all the materials for the legendary relic and that I get it for my previous efforts. I understand unlocking future expansion relics for the legendary relic (and, yeah, I've been kind of surprised for a long time that legendaries didn't work like that in the first place when stat-swapping was added to them), but...yeah. I'm happy I don't have to "craft" another legendary to get back most of the function I've lost. I still want more of the old effects back, silly as they were, but this is a surprise I wasn't expecting. I am very glad to not have to throw hundreds/thousands of gold to get back a portion of what I lost with SoTO. Still waiting to see if update #2 adds enough to justify buying SoTO now vs later, but, hey, my biggest protest with SoTO has been halfway reasonably addressed. Way more than I was expecting, and I am glad about that. 1 hour ago, ViolentMuffin.9573 said: I dunno, for me it was all very "in progress" and not 100% confirmed what would they do, so being a little bit sceptic and patient and hoarding mats in waiting was a more logical action plan. Same. After getting my butt kicked before, I've been waiting for any finalized plans because it was way too soon to see what Anet was going to do, especially with the outcry against relics in the first place.

ANet: LOL just kidding, no additional rewards Well you’re not sol. You have a 7th rune for your aquatic helmet.

Ashantara.8731 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) I had the same idea about unlocks when they announced Legendary Relics. Nice to see this idea come to life. 🙂 I'm honestly surprised about the full compensation, and one Legendary Rune being sufficient on top of that. Glad I have had 7 of those for years -- I might have been a little grumpy right now had I crafted 6-7 of them merely because of the earlier "significant progress" announcement. 😄 Edited January 26 by Ashantara.8731 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally legendary rune price was half of what it is now, and while part of it is due to MCs and ecto, a large part of it is Charms. I fully expect those prices to go down hard as soon as Relic gets released and the compensation "unlock" period has ended. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Crafted one now. I just hope it works fine with the auto unlock of the legendary relic for peoplat that have crafted at least one rune. Not that this got announced ArenaNet can't just change their mind on this and denying it to the people that only crafted one - since the prices of certain components alraedy increased on the TP. (We might have not crafted it to the higher price if they did not make this announcement.) People that have crafted 7 runes? Well their was no clear explanation on how this would work in detail - and they get the bonus to not have to manually buy another normal rune for ther aquabreather. So they can't complain. (They could have waited until now.) The thing with unlocking new stuff first - makes sense and seems fun. (So you have at least content to unlock - not just buying the expansion automatically having the new effects and not even playing any of the new content :D) Since it affects only new stuff ... it is not a big problem. (They still should add maybe older 6th rune boni they did not include yet in the core game without needing an unlock for the legendary. Some summons I think.)
