    Default Changing shield stats

    Shield of gratitude has 20 armor and 10 health. That's 3 more armor than pl shield, and 5 more armor and 2 more health than community shield. Can we change up the stats? Maybe pl shield 20 armor 10 hp. Community shield 17 armor 10 hp. And gratitude shield either 15 armor 8 health, or 10 armor 8 health. It'll take over twinking, and to me, it has too good of stats for it being fairly common (more common than pl shield and comm shield at least) Just my opinion. I'm liking the update a lot, just thought I'd suggest this

    Thanks!

    Meh, it's gonna take over twinking worse than snowball launchers. It's a common shield, and I don't see why its being held more superior than the pl/community shield. Just my opinion though....

    really this is going to be bad(pitiful) if a select few get jealous and decide to ruin the joy for the rest of the players.

    Eh, I feel pl shield and community shield lost some of it's purpose. At least let them all have equal stats, or make them vanity, or scale them to the level of the character using it. Don't know why its getting an advantage.

    I agree Mystical. I don't have either the community or pl shield but I think they should be better than the shield of gratitude.

    Yes, but some of the purpose was to use it as a twink item. Whether devs intended for it to be used that way or not. If it wasn't intended to be used on lower levels for the armor advantage, wouldn't they scale it? Or make it a vanity item? Or give it some requirement? None of the three shields have a requirement, yet they all have armor of a lv 30 (ish) shield. So devs must have known people would have taken advantage of that.

    Most of the shield holders have em/have used them on a twink. Parth, me, haroldiv (and that way back when) and many more. Thats part of the Shields purpose, and that why some people wanted it, to be an awesome twinking item.

    Since when are community/PL shields meant to be useful? They're for showing off. Sure, maybe they should be vanity items (I've already commented on the strange useless-but-not-vanity items). But why should they give you an edge over others?

    I'm not asking for it to have some crazy armor bonus, or be insanely better. I just don't see why the more common shield is giving the edge the other players. If it were vanity, it'd be the most fair solution, or to have them all have equal stats. Just don't see why it'd getting the lower end of the deal.

    I would say it's because you can still achieve a community shield but the "spent plat on now free stuff" shield will never be available again. It's STS way of saying "thank you for your money" to the folks who bought the expansions that are now free.

    Eh. I see it as more than half the community the got the gratitude shield. Doesn't seem exclusive at all.

    Think of it this way -- you can't lose your gratitude shield, but you CAN lose your community shield -- so be happy you have both now

    I agree with Kossi all the people who arent Guardians WHICH IS A LOT, will get angry if the stats drop on shield cuz they bought all the campaigns and sum people dont like stats as it is.

    EDIT: At the most they should make all shield stats equal
