Remember the shield you used to get from the collector outside of rankor for Frosted Griffon Wings but then they moved it and made it available only for Bleached Shells?
Crimson Carapace Shield
Armor: 16 (Req. 9 Tactics)
Health +45 (while in a Stance)
Reduced Damage -2 (while in a Stance)
Well I got one, before the switched it, for my ranger while running or whatnot.. now I log on today and see what used to be that awesome shield turn into this:
Did I miss something here..?
What the update DIDN'T say..

My guess is this: the update 'fixed' old items to be in line with their newer counterparts (ala Rockmolder). Since it also 'updated' all shields to use correct 'base' (no attribute) +AL, it probably changed all shields obtained from the same location to identical stats. If you had gotten your +45/-2 shield in the desert the way my R/W did, you would still have the stats you quote. Since you got your shield before the collector was changed, your shield was updated in the same fashion the Rockmolder was.
On the plus side, you only need 2 Bleached Shells to get your copy of the +45/-2 shield and the shells don't cost nearly as much as they did when it took 5 of them.

Not sure what has happened to your shield... mine is still like this:

Armor: 16 (Req. 9 Tactics)
Health +45 (while in a Stance)
Reduced Damage -2 (while in a Stance)

A lot of people had their shield change, so I'm sure it'll be addressed in another patch soon. Email support to get it fixed faster.
anonymous
Aww I liked my 20/20 rockmolder, it was a cool collector item
floppinghog
your lookin at the wrong shield, they didnt change the whole shield, its -2 vs physical attacks only now, and if it didnt change some ppl's shields, im pretty mad, cuz i want it all changed now. all the same boat pls.
pork soldier
My housemate's +45/-2 stance shield from camp rankor changed into a +60/-3 hexed shield when the patch landed.
Shyft the Pyro
You're saying some of the -2 stance shields didn't update to the new stats/new wording? That would be the bug then, because the current update seems to have 'fixed' all existing items it 'updated.' My R/W has a +45/-2 stance shield from the desert but the wording has changed to reflect -2 is against physical only, and my N/Me's +5 energy wand from outside Nolani Academy no longer has other cool stats :_(
shadykay
yea....i got the same crap....gj arena net?!!?!?!
dantheman5415
I think only the Crimson Carapace shields from Rankor (before they were changed initially to 60hp/-3 dmg when hexed) have been fixed.
Caleb
My Stance Carapace shield was also changed to a hexed version.
I never had the hexed version of this shield, so I am not looking at the wrong shield.
I can only assume they changed any that were purchased outside of Camp Ranknor to their Hexed replacements. I've had the shield for almost a year, and remember specifically getting it outside Ranknor.

yea, they changed the ones purchased at Camp, before the ones at Camp were changed. They changed them to reflect the current Camp shields I seems.
Another silent update, is the change in wording on shouts.

Yes I got my Crimson outside Rankor long ago and it now is a hexed version....they ruined my shields...

uh ok fine, i guess it might have been there at some point, then thats one old shield. i guess they wanted to make it only avaliable from desert then. heh
no big deal anyway, who cares?

I got my stance shield from the dessert collector, did they change it? I was thinking of getting the hex version, should check it out once i get home.

maybe you got the wrong CCS mines still sexy
Zakarr
Don't understand why they had to change damage mods from the shields. I understand mods like -2 stance -2 ench combos especially in PvP but this was just too much.
Aramaki
Yes I can confirmed this too, how can they change our existing shields just like that? I already have another collector wooden buckler with +60 -3 while hexed. Darn pissed.
penguo
My sheild was changed to while hexed, now i need to find a new one, because my recent farm has all physical attackers with the occasional ritualist.
Aramaki
We still can get the stance shield from
Lord Dorn Lendrigen
Location: North of Thirsty River along the eastern edge of The Scar across the teleporter
Collecting: 2 Bleached Shells
Crimson Carapace Shield
Armor: 16 (Requires 9 Tactics)
Health +45 (while in a stance)
Received damage -2 (while in a stance)
But Im still pissed, cos I dyed my old Crimson Carapace Shield black. Also have a same stats Wooden Buckler and Baubao's Shell.

Its right in the update notes, midway down:
They try and distract us with new storage only to seriously nerf absorbtion... definately not cool.

My desert collectors' shield is still the same. Unless they mean to remove this shield from the game entirely (or change it) you should still be able to get this from the desert collector near Thirsty River.
Unless this is an unintentional change i.e. bug, it should have been mentioned in the update notes too... stealth updates are not a good idea at all (loss of faith/trust in the company anyone?)

I feel really guilty now, as just a couple of days ago I gave my Snake Dance Crimson Carapace shield (+45 in stance, -2 received damage in stance) to a Shing Jea noob 
lyra_song
/goes shell farming >.>
Rathcail
I sure am glad that my CCS is still the same, considering that I'm currently selling it in the Guru auction.
The truth itself
I don't think they thought of this, when they executed the update, it was just a thing that got along, when they changed the unferfed rockmolders.

Actually, if you think about it, making absorption apply only to physical damage doesn't "weaken warriors", it "strengthens elementalists". It's a subtle, but clever, way to make ellies more worthwhile as better damage-dealers.

wow, 5 rockmolders nerfed into crap, nolani wands on 5 characters nerfed into crap, 45k and 30 amber nerfed into crap (knights boots on warrior 15k and 2 virtuoso gloves with different runes on mesmer 15k). very nice collection of shields nerfed into crap along with pretty much all absorption (hows that -2stance, -3hexed gonna stand up against titans now, eh?).
you know, we all take our chances holding onto extinct items - the rockmolder thing doesnt make me too angry. the knights/virtuoso armor issues have always been kind of iffy - so that doesnt make me too angry either. nolani wands and just a minor annoyance too.
but this: "Updated shields, armors, and runes with damage reduction abilities so that they only reduce physical damage." that is ...dare i say ... BULLSHIT. why physical only? realistically (in a non-real game) shouldnt a shield with damage prevention mods help prevent things like stone daggers, fireball, etc? while the AoE nerf pissed off a lot of people, at least it MADE SENSE. this makes no sense whatsoever.
and this: Weapon upgrades and Runes now indicate which kind of weapon/armor they attach to. For example, a dagger tang will have the text "Attaches to: Dagger". wow, thanks ever so much for this! im sure most of us were lost as to why our AXE hafts wouldnt fit on our HAMMERS.
well, we got the ability to split stacks- that was needed. we can now see what kind of ascalon bow we have- that was needed too. and we got new material storage. but in all honestly, this update has hit me so hard in terms of loss of money/item value and item utility that i just cant bring myself to even be happy about it. heck, i dont even want to log into the game again at this point after just looking through my characters inventories and seeing how much damage was done.
well, its just a game- but its a game i probably wont bother playing again until new character slots are enabled.
