Vanity shields displaying with a 2 handed weapon equipped

**Samhayne** · 05-03-2011, 10:20 AM

We just wanted to let everyone know that we are aware of the issue with Vanity Shields and how they continue to display when you equip a 2 handed weapon. The weapon doesn't display and the character looks like they are swinging around only a shield.

We're aware of the issue. Unfortunately, it will take a client update to correct, which has to go through client submission, etc. to get out there.

Users can work around the issue and have their 2 handed weapon display by un-equipping their vanity shield when switching.

Why would you ever want to fix this? Hitting enemies on the head with a shield is epic!

I was thinking of a matching 1h weapon to cover the real weapon..

Not quite as epic as Squirrel sledding on a turned over shield...

One handed crossbow FTW!!!

I still love firing arrows out of my shield. I don't like the shield on my elf though.

How about also leaving in an invisibility option for those that want it? It's hilarious to epic proportions. Please don't take it away.

Squirrel... Way to change the subject

**Vanced** · 05-06-2011, 01:21 PM

Hey... who doesn't like feeling like a Street Fighter reject tossin' lighting and fire with two hands from a crouch...

Just fix my staff sound effect instead? *** Ha-Dou-Ken ***
