Materials-Durability Discrepancy Devs?

[Phaeton_Seraph]

If we look at the image below and read the name and description, we see an item that is made from the shell of a living creature.

However, the Durability is listed as "Steel".

I can understand someone deciding it should be as durable as steel. But the shield simply isn't supposed to be steel as described.


This should not have turned my Druid into an oathbreaker.

Please fix this so it either doesn't cause oathbreaking, or has a description that makes oathbreaking conceivable.

[Derailment]

That was from.. uh heavy metal scorpion

This is not Heavy Metal! :P

[Derailment]

Sigh. Oh well, in my defense, shield isn't heavy either.

[Kilbar]

This is not Heavy Metal! :P

The hell it isn't, it may not look like it to a kidlet like YOU! But believe me, that's heavy metal!

[Daemoneyes]

Wimps and posers leave the hall!
Heavy metal or no metal at all!

*grin*

For some reason I want to label the dev's in the picture, I vote cordovan is the one with the mustache.

[Phaeton_Seraph]

Nicely done with the thread derailment gent, nicely done. If we can't get Dev attention, we may as well have a laugh.

Like it or not, hair metal WAS metal for awhile. Scorpions was a solid act, despite their look.

They were a hair band, but hair does not make metal. Scorpions was a good rock band, maybe even a solid rock band, I still listen to them in a few playlists (mostly 80s), but not metal. They weren't nearly discordant enough.

They don't compare at all with Metallica, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, or any of the metal bands of the times.

What are you talking about "discordant"? Hallowed Be Thy Name, Rime of The Ancient Mariner, and Can I Play With Madness are hardly "discordant"!

For that matter, neither is a lot of Metallica's early stuff. Won't speak to their later stuff after they were replaced by aliens masquerading as Cuban Pimps...

You seem to have some prejudices. What's wrong with pimps?

harmony and discord are fascinating. The Devil's chords aren't at all discordant to us now, but back in the day? Welcome to the Jungle set my teeth on edge when I was 14, but now? It doesn't even seem that fast past to me.

With that preface, discord is the hallmark of metal.

As for the exceptions to the rules? Well, every artist/band slips genres once and a while. You describe a band/artist's genre by the majority of the music in their repertoire/opus, not by the rare odd ones out.


Heck, if we did that, I'd say that from Winds of Change, Scorpions was a pop group and not rock at all


As for Metallica, even 25 years after listening to them the first time, I think there's only one song of theirs that doesn't make me want to plug my ears. Maybe that's how I judge metal... by how uncomfortable it makes me.


Oh, and Devs! Please fix the Durability/Materials discrepancy!!!!!

Ah, understood. Fair enough, good sir. Some people such as myself adore metal. Others... Do not.

I think the problem is that hey use basic items, and just add abilities and descriptions to them. ANd if the basic item is of the wrong kind, you get materials that make no sense. Just shaving time off the programming methinks.
