If you found a Gold Mine down the street, would you tell anyone else? No.. thats what I thought..
Don't be lazy, and enough have been revealed to go find them yourself too. Or how about not leeching on other work and find some new areas yourself!

I blasted away lock picks in EoTN late last night.

Very cool items indeed!

Nice skins but I was hoping that these new skins would be in new areas that we cant yet explore.

politicsxxox · Mar 07, 2008, 11:43 PM // 23:43

Enough has been revealed indeed but i posted that like 2 hours after this thread opened. and I have no idea what you mean by leeching

Hey, guys, here's a tidbit of info for you. Unfortunately, yesterday’s build included older, unfinished versions of the art for the Draconic Aegis and the Emerald Sword. We’ll get the corrected art into a live build shortly. So look for that sword and shield to change a little in the future. There is a third item that was also fixed, but that has not been found yet, so I’m not sayin’ a word.

But that item will also be updated very soon, too.

I really like these new items. I want to meet up with someone to get a look at all of them. (And yes, I admit it, I am especially fond of the Froggie Sceptor! <3 )

Inde · Mar 07, 2008, 11:54 PM // 23:54

Aahhhh, very cool info. Please post pics once you find the other item (my bets are on the bone dragon staff is in somewhere) and the changes to the aegis and sword.

garethporlest18 · Mar 07, 2008, 11:54 PM // 23:54

What's wrong with the Emerald SwordI thought it looked great.

Seef II · Mar 07, 2008, 11:57 PM // 23:57

Yeah. The emerald sword looks fine as is. Hopefully the changes are cosmetic only, like with Cynn's dress.

Inde · Mar 07, 2008, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Well she said "unfinished versions of the art" so I'm guessing just some tweaks, maybe clean up work on them is all.

The full quote, that is often taken way out of context, basically says that regardless of whether you have been playing for a month or three years, the game is balanced so everyone fights on even ground. And that is true. Your item being fancy looking does not make you do more damage, heal for more, or whatever. Therefore, their "time spent" or "lucky drop" or how ever you choose to put it does not make them stronger than you. Someone who has been playing longer than you is not inherently going to be stronger/better than you.

Also, I have to point out...most of the items people complain about being hard to get are desired specifically because they are, indeed, hard to get. So therefore, it is a cool item that makes people say "wow...that's a cool item! I want one!" If you take that rarity away, suddenly the desire goes away with it. And those who do enjoy the trading/collecting aspects of RPGs are left unfulfilled. The solution? Have rare, cool items but make them work exactly like the common items.

can we put that on the login page announcement on guild wars? too many people need reminding of exactly what you just said, and i am sick of repeating myself to all the whiners that keep telling me time>skill

/rant over

gg on the skins so far

the only one imho that doesnt look as good as the concept (from the limited picks i have seen) is the demonic shield which i imagine would be impossible to get it to look like the concept art anyway.

RedStar · Mar 08, 2008, 12:26 AM // 00:26

Covah · Mar 08, 2008, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Dante the Warlord · Mar 08, 2008, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Geez, even though I like the skins, these versions do not do the drawings justice at all. The Demonic Aegis is basically 2D when the entire shield was supposed to be 3D. The same can be said about the celestial compass, which is a 2D drawing as well. Not to mention the cruddy lack of attribute variation, they should come in all attributes.

Now, personally i can't complain about those, but the one thing is can't tolerate is the emerald blade, again they made this look WAY too short just like they did with the destroyer sword. I first looked at the drawing and fell in love with it, its a glamored up version of the runic blade IMHO, which should be roughly the same in height, but they horibly messed it up, making it look like absolute crap, since the hilt is the only thing they got right, the blade itself should be longer! Maybe im wrong (haven't seen it ingame) but from the pic, it looks tiny....

The crown achievement however, is DEFINATELY the draconic shield, whoever designed it was the only person to do the shield justice. Everything pops and its just plain beautiful. Pity its only tactics, but I can't complain about the shield itself.

Yawgmoth · Mar 08, 2008, 12:37 AM // 00:37

At least they aren't insanely overfarmed and worthless mere hours after discovery. It may change when better sources will get posted to public for some, but I expect at least a couple of the new goodies to remain rare and valuable.

Shame that none of the new weapons don't drop exclusively in the non-inscription lands. Prophecies could really use a new rare exclusive drop that would keep value forever.

But still well done, rare drops FTW. Too many common worthless junk around, so good to see new rare valuable and demanded pieces.
