Potential Metal/Maven Menace Set Bug
Hello team,
I wanted to reach out and see if this was a potential bug, but also to make a suggestion/request to update these sets, if possible.
TL;DR - Potential Bug/request is to update the Pink/Black Classic Bat Wings to act as a piece for both of the Metal sets (similarly to the Metal weapons/shield). Since these wings are already so rare, it would be rewarding to those who own them but also provide more clarity to users who are willing to pay for them. If that is not possible, could the names and/or item descriptions be updated to clarify what set(s) they do complete? (Right now, the Pink/Black Bat Wings just say "A shiny new update to an Alterran classic!")
Explanation:
In short, the metal sets (both the maven and menace sets) require 3pc to turn on the aura/set. This can be done a variety of ways, but most commonly using a helm and/or armor + a weapon and/or a shield. The major talking point I wish to elaborate on is that the Metal Weapons and the Metal Shield are "wildcard" items that can be used to complete both sets (and the language used in these item descriptions reflect that: "Can be used to complete the Metal Menace and Metal Maven vanity sets!")
Example:
Example gear to implement either of the Maven/Menace sets:
"The Metal Maven Armor" (pink) + Metal Menace Sword + Metal Menace Shield = Maven Set
"The Metal Menace Armor" (black) + Metal Menace Sword + Metal Menace Shield = Menace* Set
Potential Bug:
The potential bug that I am noticing is that the "The New Classic Pink (or Black) Bat Wings" don't act as wildcards (similar to the Metal Weapon/Shield) but also...
- don't explicitly say which set they complete
- don't mention they are a part of the Metal sets (but work to complete the sets - the pink wings act as a Maven set piece based on my testing, and I assume the black works as a Menace set piece)
- named similarly to the Classic Fire set, although it does not work in that set
Note: there is a brief mention on the forum post for the event where it says "* the New Classic Black and Pink Bat Wings can be used to complete the new Metal Menace and Metal Maven sets." but that can still be interpreted as a wildcard, just like the Metal weapons/shield, and not all users access/view the forums. (Perhaps add ", respectively." at the end of that sentence?)
Potential Resolution:
Allow the Pink/Black Classic Bat Wings to work for either metal set (just like the metal weapons/shield allow for either set), or update the name/description for these items to more clearly indicate what they are used for. As they are so rare, it would provide more utility and generate more interest in the new Metal sets, but also clearly indicate to users what they are. I recently paid a premium for a pair of wings and I assumed it was a wildcard piece - it was an expensive way to test and find out it wasn't, and don't want other users to experience that, if possible.
I know this is a very specific request for a specific issue that I ran into, but the main goal is to clarify what these items are used for - since so many people want the wings or paid a premium to own and use them. Thank you!
