So, some of the bugged shields were fixed to no longer be crafted as a legendary. I’ll assume this means that no shield at all should be legendary. However, there’s still some that drop, that can be legendary.
Some are 1 attribute + 1 gem/gemslot + 3 perks.
Some are 1 attribute + 4 perks.
Seems to only happen to the family shields (Legion, Dryad etc) + the War shields.
Note: some of them will include a Gem perk bucket which will be empty. This means they won’t roll legendary since nothing from the bucket is eligible with the Shield; still, might want to clean it up in the data.
The Arboreal Dryad family shields come with an Arboreal gem which, makes sense but it doesn’t? That makes the 3 Arboreal Dryad shields the only shields in the game that can ever have a gem on them.
Pretty insanely dumb idea if we’re being honest. They have this idea that they can offer gear and crafts to players and then suddenly give those players a MASSIVE advantage by making their crafts now EXCLUSIVE. Meaning everyone else will essentially be doomed to be out powered by players who received and crafted gear before it was removed in the past. So new players will then be forever complaining that they cannot win and the developers will be scratching their heads on what’s wrong, well folks the problem is because of stupid decision making like this.
In a melee meta many players already have their legendary 4 perk round shields , tower shields and the developers have the audacity to think that suddenly removing this from the game is a solid idea?
I think what gets me the most here is that no where in the patch notes did that say that they were making this change. Thanks again AGS for the kick in the balls
This isn’t possible , they cannot adjust players already obtained shields. So the point is… they cannot just suddenly REMOVE them from being obtainable for everyone else.
No, they can’t. Doesn’t work like that. Also on-top of that they have a history of just leaving the no longer obtainable items still in the game ( for example there are staves in the game that give +60 stat points , ofcourse no longer obtainable but still those that got them back in the day still have and can wield them ).
Will AGS please consider some means of crafting and upgrading shields to legendary status? I dont mean to ask that we give shields unfair advantage with extra perks and or gen slots, but as a fellow crafter it un nerves me that i can craft legendaries with the exception of shields now. What if down the road AGS comes up with another horizontal progression for only legendaries but shields would not be part of that club
Perhaps this is just petty. But i want my orange shields regardless if they don’t have the extra perk and/ or gem slot
