It might have just been random luck, but a couple of months ago when i farmed outside of LA for feathers, I had 3 dual degen weps drop. If anything you guys should try farming that area. Ya know, just in case

I think it's time that the devs introduce inscribable versions of outcast, echovald, amber aegis, etc. shield skins. Because the number of people playing this game is winding down, these shield skins(in usable fashion) are near impossible to find and it's only going to get worse. Time for a change so people can complete their collections and move on to gw2.

Yes, make inscriptable Echovald, Gothic, Celestial please!

Actually... no.

Shields only afaik? Because for Axes there's also already inscr. Gothics e.g.

E: I was QQing non inscriptable items in general. Sorry, you were QQing shields only.

or they can actually do something right and fix their biggest mistake in guild wars and take inscriptions out of the game entirely..

The weapons are a non-issue for the most part. There's a couple rare items, for instance it took some time for me to find a perfect naga longbow. It's the shields that, most of us anyway, have to save up hundreds of ectos for and camp these forums.

inscriptions were a positive thing for guild wars, maybe not so positive for power traders, so most of you got to stop bitching about it.

People that want to complete their collection would not do so by taking Inscr versions, so wouldn't solve anything.

Tbh, they can not imo, only thing they should bring inscr is Celestial Scepter (maybe staff but meh-ish on that) because they are impossible to find anyway with any decent mods..

Also, don't touch our shields, they're ours..

Coast · Apr 03, 2011, 09:19 AM // 09:19

yes, i want cele scepter!

StueyG · Apr 03, 2011, 09:39 AM // 09:39

I'm all for no more inscription items, and it has nothing to do with power trading - more fail assumptions. Tons of people used to enjoy the thought of finding rare elusive stuff - now most of that is gone. Inscription crap is BORING.

And who wants to collect something that is common? If everything was inscription everyone would all have the same crap, like most people do now. Collection would be stupid, and take no challenge to complete.

superraptors · Apr 03, 2011, 09:54 AM // 09:54

calm down mate, you seem really aggravated.

inscriptions doesn't change the fact that non-inscriptable version are much rarer, it only devalues it if its not req8 or lower, as you can see from emblazoned, guardian of the hunts embossed etc, so yes it does have alot to do with power trading, i had eternals that were imperfect back in the day getting easily 100k, inscriptions came out they dropped to merch food, despite it being rare. and there are still many mods that are not replicable on inscription shields, so it would not affect its rarity at all.

plenty of people are still collecting various shields with non-replicable mods.

there is still people who enjoy collecting non-inscriptable counterparts, its just the game is 6 years old and gw2 is coming out, so there is less people playing and selling obv.

Pleikki · Apr 03, 2011, 11:52 AM // 11:52

Thing about inscription I personally hate is that now everything can be so easyly "perfect" that all "non perf" items lost their intrest and value..

Like in example dmg mods 14^50 and 15^50, Techically the difference is use is none.. But due 15^50s being easy obtainable everyone just wants that.. Pre insc times ppl were fine with other then perfect mods also and everyone was as happy as now with their 15^50's.. Same thing for shields staffs offhands wands..

19hct vs 20hct is hardly a difference

:rage: :rage: :rage:

This shields are not impossible to find, is just that most of u are now only interested in filling the stupid HoM, doing DoA runs Speed Clears, for having weapons that everybody now owns....It makes ppl look like hip-hop crews, all dressed in the same manner, hardly recognizable...

But GW is not only this and u may have forgotten this. One of the best things u can do in GW is playing alone and try to get 100% drops, which means solo farming. If u really want those rares, stop doing DoA 24/7 and begin to farm.

This is not a post against you personally, i hope u understand. It's just an observation of the game.

I go with SteuyG and Plikki, saying that inscription has made this game really poor in term of market, with exception of few tyrian and some canthan skins.

You sir, just insulted me

I do DoA a lot (not as much as I used to) and I never use my torment weaps, because only my ele has them and I barely use my ele

The thing this 24/7 DoASC (not Glaive, I mean SC) has mounted to is a nice big pile of ecto in my storage which I use to grossly overpay my +10 -2ench shields for my collection^^ I also chest run in the dead hours, when there is no one around to DoA with.. So, some of us are capable of doing shit tons of DoA and still love uninscr items...

And indeed, inscriptions made the weapons market laughable. All greens went worthless, imperfect weapons were immediately merched, Anet destroyed something quite cool they created. Greens used to be worth a lot and actually useful, but now they are pretty much ignored, or only used for heroes. Also, they are worth nothing anymore anyway..

Ahaha..Bright u know i didn't want to offend anyone and i see u are also joking...but i totally understand ur aim for doing DoA.

I also did some run just to sell the armbrace and make money.....but u also understand that the DoA market is simply unbelievable and really poor in term of originality.

My consideration above was just about HoM related market and general interests in the game. What does move the game now? HoM rewards...with few exception of ppl like you and me and many others well known here on Guru that still collects old-schools and rarities just for the pleasure of wasting time and money on items that they will never use or sell.

This is pretty sad to me, but still like this game!

What are you talking about, I use my shields all the time

they're awesome^^ I wouldn't overpay them that much if I didn't actually use them

Way2dead · Apr 03, 2011, 02:12 PM // 14:12

I see a first page of people talking about the rarity of 15/-1, after that, we just actually started a new thread about collecting shields and things?

To stay on topic, i've run not that much chests in cantha, maybe 1-2k, so never seen one myself, also none of my, or maybe a few who i didn't ask, ever had such a drop, it's rare, but also a bit depending on the skin imo.

The majority of players don't need old school shields to complete a collection based on skins. The most relevant mods are available as inscriptions and handles.

and no one is touching your shields. :P non-inscribable shields would remain, but inscribable versions of shields that are currently unavailable with inscription slots would be added via z-chest, hoh or some other source.

No, these shields are pretty much impossible to find. You can solo farm for years and never find the mods you want on say.. an echovald, outcast or plagueborn shield. Simply finding one of these shields is no problem. If you kill enough of the right type of enemy, eventually one will drop for you.. but the stats on that shield is another thing entirely.
