zealex.9410 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Ik full well that legendaries will lose alot of their value once legendary armory is out and ppl start making the weapon and armor types they still need but i still think that even for the cosmetic aspect that it would be nice to see a third gen of weapons.

dodgerrule.8739 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I believe what we’re seeing with the introduction of the two new legendaries that just released should be considered part of generation 3 due to the major differences in crafting then previous ones.Also I found something interesting in the item codes with warlord armor! There’s both an ascended and legendary Variant of these. I have the code for ascended still going to get the legendary one again later today and post on it!Ascended version [&AgGxawEA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmoon.7986 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Here is a thought how about t2 legendaries, upgraded version of the t1, like how the pvp and wvw rings work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Bones.8975 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I don't see why there wouldn't be another round of gold/mat sinks.I'm still looking for a good Longbow, Short bow, Pistol, Scepter, and Sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually going to get me to finish making the light armor. I really hope that we didn't need to keep the exotic warlord pieces though...

Naomi Nightfisher.4138 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 As a new player with no legendaries, this makes me want MORE of them, not less. Just a data point. I would never have considered the legendary trinkets, now they are a must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thornwolf.9721 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 How about two separate generations for PvP and WvW since PvE already has two gen of weapons? Would be nice for the other modes to have generations of their own which separate them and make it so X mode can help you get X weapon because its only obtainable from X mode.Id like to see that before Gen 3 for PvE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stat swapping is such a minor thing for most of the items. Usually you just need 1 or 2 stats for these weapons either since they aren't so varied. A Berserker GS will do the job most of the time for example, maybe you want Marauder or something. That's neat, but the skins matter a lot more to most.

Fenom.9457 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Yes but I’d much rather see armor, trinkets, and underwater weapons before more standard weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PvE ones can be unique skins and so on but I feel as though WvW and PvP deserve their own form of the same item type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curunen.8729 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Would be nice to see aqua breather and gen 2 underwater first.And maybe Jeweller 500 with infusions, or even non-cosmetic/plain legendary trinket crafting?But certainly would be interesting if Anet can fit in a third tier of legendaries within the game's lifespan. There's a few it would be nice to see some different themes (ie torch - both are heavy fire themed, so is room for different style of illumination).
