Same here, had Compulsion shield (legendary) on Trading Post. When i looked it was all of the sudden Rare (blue) and when i took it off it changed to Epic. Lmao.

wow, I hope they fix this! Its pretty serious…

My tower shield (the one with the skin of a kite shield) was downgraded from epic to rare. GG lost an important perk.

Same here, my epic shield downgrades to uncommon and only has a luck perk just like you.!

Lmfao even my legendary shield has changed to epic?
WTF are you doing NW?!?

Also it lost one of the best perks??!?!?!??? WTF

So, was this an inteded change or will it be reverted?
Kinda annoying i craft a lego shield for it later te become a lesser item…

+1

My epic shield was downgraded to uncommon as well.
It was only a few hundreds of gold - not that big deal but what is going on? Another stealth nerf or is it a bug?

There’re more topics like this e.g.:

Some players refer to a dev post that this is intended but I’m not sure about that

@Luxendra can you pls pass this to the right team and give us a final answer? Thx in advance :relaxed:

Same thing happened to me (except for the 3k, OUCH) - I would like to know when we are getting our items back as well.

This was the last drop in what can only be described as a giant ocean of shit. This game is simply not worth my time. I have allready spent around 200 hours in the game which means New World has ended up being a giant waste of time for me. Lets hope AMGS will improve, allthough somehow I doubt they ever will, which is why I will stay clear of their future project as well.
Disappointed!

@Kay Can you please have a look into this and pass it to the right team? I accidentally marked initial the german moderation (sorry @Luxendra ).
Thanks in advance! :v:t5: :slightly_smiling_face:

No love for tanks in the game, still love tanking tho
