zealex.9410 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Not to rain on any artist's parade these look cool (not sure if legendary cool) but the biggest thing about legendaries was the uniqueness and creativity or lore implications behind their existance. Yes some were joke legendaries and some missed the mark but at the end of the day each one was one of a kind in its style. Secondly, i dont get the gen2 hate, yeah they didnt come all on launch but they put alot more hype on subsequent releases and they still all were hot content (that you could get through hot) plus the extra time allowed them to make each special. Now we have 16 on launch and the sacrifice is that they all look the same. I think despite the noise ppl made for gen 2 that it aged better than gen 3 will. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustTrogdor.7892 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I'm not a big legendary collector, I only have 2 weapons and am working on Aurora now (almost done thank goodness). I was debating if my next legendary weapon would be Exordium or wait for Gen 3. Now I'm just going to make Exordium. The Aurene themed Gen 3 set was the only part of the reveal I was really kind of disappointed in. So I agree I would have rather they made each Gen 3 a different theme and staggered them out if they needed the time to do so. I guess since I'll be getting a Gen 3 precursor voucher for the "return to" achievements I'll make one of the Gen 3s eventually as it would save me a lot of gold as opposed to the Gen 1's and 2's.

They only showed the great sword in game but also concept art for some of the others.

Naxos.2503 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment. The main draw to legendaries is that they all had their stories, their personality, and more importantly, their appearance. All of them being derived from Aurene is... I dont even understand how you thought it was an upgrade from the past two gens, it's a major downgrade that I can only rationalize is due to lack of time. If that is the case, please please Please : Do not release them as soon as the expansion hits and work on them more. People go for only some legies in particular because they like their style. If you make All of them Aurene style, you're only going to get a very small minority of player going for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 If you remember, there was great outcry when all of the promised Legendaries weren't released with HoT. This is their response. If you will also remember, a great many people complain about individual Legendary design. This set all looks good to me. Sure, not everything can appeal to everyone, but can you really say these look bad? Again, their response was to design a good looking set with none of the "joke" Legendaries. You can't say they don't listen to the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't say they don't listen to the players. As you can see theres a great outcry that all legendaries are a set so they can launch them all on release. I think if gen2 had set better expectations and didnt put them on an indefinite hold that ppl wpuld look back alot more fondly. sure diff strokes for diff folks but i dont think the majority woupd prefer this sacrifice for all to be available on d1.

BlueJin.4127 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Sigh… players have been complaining about the bright flashing lights that are painful and can’ be turned off. Anet not only completely ignores these, they keep adding more and more. Saw that when you unsheathe the gen 3 legendary, it plays another big bright flashing light. Seriously, Anet… WTF?! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzyp.6295 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Agreed. In fact, part of the charm of Living World Season 3-4 were the legendaries being added in. It added something extra to look forward too and work towards in addition to the new maps. Please take time and reconsider this ANet, make Legendaries feel truly worth the work. Aurene is great and deserves a legendary to be themed after her, but not an entire set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeph.4718 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Massive fail here if all the new LI's are essentially variations of the same skin like every other themed skin is. Least I can carry on getting some others I want in the meantime then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
