Vad.2958 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I for one am excited. Some stuff I wasn't expecting in this update which I enjoy. However, can we please get a tease of something related to the Legendary Obsidian Armor Tier 2? Like what will tier 2 look like or do? Will it transform while in combat like raid armor or is it an aura? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydle.7418 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The end of the article says "We’ll wrap up today with one final legendary tease located below! As always, thank you for your ongoing support." but there's nothing underneath it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubi stated that T2 would be variants similar (but not 1:1) like the Gen3 weapons. This is T1 which is basically the "base" legendary armour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will T2 do this instead of T1? It is supposed to become infused with magic in battle yeah. https://www.guildwars2.com/en-gb/secrets-of-the-obscure/ Quote LEGENDARY ARMOR A future release will introduce a brand-new set of legendary armor that becomes infused with magic in combat. Essential materials and components for legendary armor collection will be available beginning at launch, so you can build up resources right away!

Long story but I was extremely nervous we weren't getting a sab date until closer to release, but this helps me plan time off since 1st sab day is important to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellbound.5610 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I am so excited about the Ultimate Dominator change for WvW!! Now I can track my continued player kills to 10,000,000 because it means so much to me and my personal progress when 90% of players only want to do PPT as if WvW is a PvE type game mode. I am honestly surprised that the Diamond Legend Rank which so many players exploited to reach in EotM has not been changed to 100,000 at least as well... @Rubi Bayer.8493 is this perhaps something you guys can look into for the future? Thank you so much for all the hard and effort work with this update! Great job! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VictorLeal.4102 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) New Ultimate Dominator titles is a joke, seems like Roy is getting a lot of feedback from Indo lately lmao..

Gorani.7205 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I read "WvW achievement updates & new rewards" 😍 and then read this: World vs. World—Expanded Realm Avenger Achievements: At last! The Realm Avenger achievement, which tracks player defeats in WvW and awards the Ultimate Dominator title, has been expanded with 9 additional tiers at 250,000 increments. Each tier comes with a new variant of the Ultimate Dominator title that reflects the number of players that you’ve defeated (e.g., Ultimate Dominator II). These achievements will take already-earned progress into account. You just update the kill achievement for the super blobbers. 😒 World vs. World—Lord Update: We’re modernizing the loadouts of castle, keep, and tower lords with the addition of a new channeled healing skill that aids objective defenders in combat, giving the lord a more active role in battle. Attackers will need to keep a close eye on the lord and break their defiance bar to minimize the support they’re able to provide. As a note, this is currently a stretch goal for the update and may need to shift out to a future update. So we might not even get that? 😥 1 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitri.3842 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 i am aware that a week before patch is way too late for model changes, but: I am on my knees begging the art devs to add some cutouts and move around the trim for horns/claws/ears on charr. The armor as is: Medium hood completely deletes the horns and ears, yet lets em flop free on asura; There's plenty of leather embellishments all over the hood, to maybe add some extra trim connected to em to make the horns/ears pop pop out though, if not let em beee pretty please The embellishments on claws on medium are great and fit the overall daggery theme wonderfully; yet they just stick out of the middle of the boot's vamp(?) completely detached from the metallic sole trim that looks neat on other races (especially asura hell yeah toe armor) but on charr the trim surrounding the vamp just highlights the non-charr foot-y boot-y shape that makes the whole shoe feel a bit more like a stretched out clownish boot, degrading the over all genuinely neat extra detail put into it. Honestly no clue what small-ish tweaks could be done to make it work as is, beside doing either something similar to asura with trim per each digit of the foot or just going for more sandal-y look with whole "paw" out. On heavy the horns and ears just clip out of the helm, but the helm still looks neto- just not sure about the ears clipping in and out of the excisance, and the horns not having any sorta metallic trim on the base to make em look more intentional; heavy boots honestly look great, and the claws feel more naturally placed plus the shape overall seems more charr-y, though its a shame they are the odd one out and dont have the metallic claws; I really appreciate the ornaments on the tail- hope other weight will also get some ornaments there too with t2; light is cool beside the boots again, cant really tell from the one picture in the blog post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have read more carefully - it will. Edited February 20 by Heibi.4251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
