Hi, I noted that A.net devs have recently changed something in the order in which incriptions and upgrades appear in the description of a shield.

Green and collectors shields follow this standard

<name>
<AL (req)>
<inscription>
<handle>

like this for instance

Instead for gold/purple shields, the order was determined by the last upgrade you applied.

This is true for older items, but recently this has been changed, so now purple/gold shields drop with this new format:

<name>
<AL (req)>
<handle>
<inscription>

and if you change the handle, this will not show in the last line, but will always appear in the 3rd line.

I like the idea that devs have defined a standard, but it differs from the one used for collectors and greens.

So I'm asking to uniform the standard description of the newly dropped purple/gold items to the green/collectors one, that I personally like more.

Before anyone post some let's say "obvious" (I would like to use a different word but anyway ...) comment like "since when the order of the lines in the description affects the item's stats?" and things like that, of course nothing changes.
But the devs have decided to change something, they are giving us a standard, what I ask is to uniform this standard to the one followed by greens and collectors items.

Er...sure. Really not worth the time you spent writing that post, but I can't really argue against it.

OK.... great for the more... obsessive/compulsive people who play, I guess. Sure thing.

More of a game "bug" or at least a graphical anomaly.

OCD FTW!!!!!!

Really, go wash your hands or something.

Everyone likes things ordered.

But it's only a roblem if you are watching stats all the time.

Wasn't this exact thread suggested a few days ago and closed for the exact same reason? It was titled Secret Nerf Against Sheilds or something. I remember it cause you used the exact same picture of an exalated aegis.

If you thread is closed by a moderator the first time, it was done for a good reason. Do NOT recreate the thread. Next time you'll probablly get banned from the forum.

Edit: found the old post

Okay, I take it back. You asked for it to be closed. But frankly, this thing is just asking for flames either way, especially after you insulted people in retaliation.

i see no prob with making where what is on all items standard, but in all honesty it doesn't matter,

when nightfall first came out i was like "why don't weapons keep inscription on top", thought about it for a split second, then was like, oh well..

i think i found someone more bored then myself...
