Updated Draconic Aegis - Guild Wars Forums

Just reading that they fixed it again after doing this before. Has it solved the problem of it always appearing dark and drab? Only in sunlight b4 you could actually see the details, and I sold mine for that reason.

Anyone got one they can check fast?

I'm very pleased with the updated Draconic, was pleasantly surprised they cared enough to fix it. The 'hollow' back had been bothering me for the longest time. Also, the dull look you're writing about has to do with the direction the character is facing, since it is apparently assumed (even in darker areas) that the light source is always from the east. The shield no longer appears dull while equipped in inventory anymore either. Just took a few pics, hope they help.

Updated Appearance in Inventory:

Updated Back, Draconic:

Also-

Updated Back, Demonic:

Overall, both shields feel a bit more polished. Nice Update.

Edit: Yes, it does still have the same light issues, though the crystals seem shinier in the dark.

Ah thanks so much! Though I was testing it outside of kamadan when I bought it, even in sunlight it still appeared dark, only when I went into direct sunlight would the shield look really nice.
It's nice to see they changed it though XD time to wait for the price to go down -.-
