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.

That was from.. uh heavy metal scorpion

This is not Heavy Metal! :P

[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.

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

ftfy

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

[Derailment]

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

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

These are not the forums you are looking for...

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.

I'm sure when they created this item they weren't considering that Druids would be added. But when they decided to add Druids they should have done an item pass to tweak named stuff like this.

Actually, the item in question was just updated this last patch. So... yea.... >.>

Also, as time has gone on we have taken the extreme outliers of "metal" and sharpened them to a fine edge. Much of what was considered "metal" when I was growing up has since been revealed in it's sissy nature. This does not make it bad. Just weak. *Face burns off as Nathan Explosion leaps from my shattered skull.*

This item? Specifically the Chitin Shield?

Updated how? So as not to work?

I made that screen shot just before starting this thread. So I am confused as to what you may, or may not mean, if you take my meaning.
