BlueJin.4127 Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) The upcoming amulet is not an IBS specific legendary, so that doesn't count. It also sounds like it's months away. With the Dragonscale Cape being precursor-like in costs, I thought maybe this was a precursor to an IBS legendary back item. This would give open world PVE players a legendary back item. However, it doesn't seem like this is a precursor. Considering LWS3 and LWS4 got their own respective legendary gears, I think many players were expecting the expansion-like IBS to get its own legendary gear, too. LWS3: Aurora LWS4: Vision IBS: nothing Combined seasons: upcoming amulet Edited May 5, 2021 by BlueJin.4127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jong.5937 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think they consider the legendary amulet still counts, as it's before the expansion and requires doing the special events revisiting LS2, 3, 4 AND Icebrood Saga. I fully expect it to require a shed load of IBS currencies, as well as the LS stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJin.4127 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 Even if you count the amulet, the point is that IBS gets less than previous seasons. LWS3: Aurora, amulet LWS4: Vision, amulet IBS: amulet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBS is too small to have a legendary item dedicated to it. The amulet becomes available in less than three weeks, not months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LWS3: Aurora, amulet LWS4: Vision, amulet IBS: amulet Actually there was only one legendary item linked to each of LS2 and 3 - Aurora for one and Vision the other. There is only currently one legendary amulet and that was from PvP - not related to Living World and the rings are from Raids and WvW. So, if we count the upcoming amulet as IBS all is even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJin.4127 Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) The upcoming amulet covers all seasons, not just IBS. Let me put it another way: LWS3: Aurora LWS4: Vision IBS: nothing Combined seasons: upcoming amulet LWS3 got its own legendary. LWS4 got its own legendary. The expansion-like IBS doesn't get a legendary. Edited May 5, 2021 by BlueJin.4127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jong.5937 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 We're arguing semantics here, but if we accept IBS is "expansion-like", I am sure they would argue it covers more than just the story episodes and they do suggest the amulet "journey" will include revisiting IBS. It's even possible the amulet was developed with IBS in mind and they decided to move it back a bit to cover the period up to EoD. Regardless, they are offering a legendary amulet after IBS started and before the season/expansion that follows. Seems fair enough to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltaicbore.8012 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I think the announcement of EoD more or less absolves IBS of needing to live up to "expansion-like" content. At least in my case, I never expected it to live up to that label in the first place, with or without EoD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoNewb.5468 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I'm inclined to believe that some half finished expansion like content got cut from living world and moved into EoD with that course change too.

It looks like it be months, close to the end of the year. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-live-summer-2021/ "Starting May 25, Living World episodes will be in the spotlight chronologically.

Complete all the new Living World Season 2 and 3 achievements to earn a voucher for a Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons precursor weapon. When the expansion launches, you can redeem it and begin crafting your very own third-generation legendary weapon. After completing the new meta-achievement for all three playable Living World seasons and The Icebrood Saga, you’ll receive a legendary amulet as a powerful reminder of your role in shaping Tyria’s destiny." So each week they'll spotlight an episode, adding new achievements to it and if you complete the new meta achievements for all 4 seasons/sagas and then you get the amulet. That sounds like they'll be spotlighting all 4 seasons/sagas which is 27 episodes. Which means that they amulet will be available at the end of November.

BlueJin.4127 Posted May 7, 2021 Author Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) Another thing I’m wondering... I’m currently finishing up the IBS meta achievements that are currently in the game because I’m assuming they’ll be required for the upcoming amulet. However, Anet stated the upcoming amulet will require the new meta achievements they will add for all 3 LWS’ and IBS. If IBS will not get its own legendary, it would be nice to know if the current IBS meta achievements will or will not be required for the upcoming amulet. Then again... looking at the expansion-like IBS, even if Anet confirms current IBS meta achievements aren't required for the upcoming amulet... 🙄 Edited May 7, 2021 by BlueJin.4127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dami.5046 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I hope we get another way to get legendary armour. I already have ascended sets, why can't i upgrade it? Moans and flaps hands around in an insane manner. Another way out of pvp/wvw/troll fest would be nice anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any are tied to skins or other items then they may auto complete. I wouldn’t be surprised if many of them are copy and pasted achievements of existing ones or simply achievements which require you to complete something some number of times. I also wouldn’t be surprised if map currencies played a roll as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a chance we'll see legendary armors and other trinkets obtainable through casual PVE in EoD. With the armory coming up, I'm sure a lot of casual players (at least more than before the armory) would like to fill up all their slots with legendaries. As an alt-oholic, I know that's my goal, but only if I can do it through casual (mostly open world) PVE. I burned out on instances in WoW, so I'm not really into fractals. I have yet to get enough fractal research pages to make 1 journal. I also definitely don't want to deal with any more drama from high difficulty instances, like t4 fractals and raids. I also never liked competitive modes in MMO's, and this game is no exception. Both PvP and WvW are uninteresting to me. Also, grinding WvW dailies to get GoB's is really burning me out...

WindBlade.8749 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 roh that just "trying to justify to have two legendary" in the same season... Even if it's ask others living worlds season it's still got released at same time as the end of the living world season 5, i mean if it's just the fact that it's also ask others seasons achivement then it's a weak arguments if you could just delete your critic by removing this requirement. All the others legendary of living seasons got released just after the end of their last episode like this amulet so stop trying to ask for more than one easy to get legendary.

I really really hope the new armory and/or the expansion will let us turn all auras on or off. No one wants the legendary trinket effects on all their characters, or all the +9AR effects on all AND on top of each other! Surely they have thought of this.

That's marketing and I believe they've even called it season 5 in a couple of their streams. Was trying to find a source and saw that one of them referred to it as a season in the reveal event video. That's not what I'm thinking of from above. Edited May 7, 2021 by Ayrilana.1396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaFishBob.6518 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Well expansions don't yield a legendary accessory from playing that content. You could say that's "expansion-like" for IBS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
