the platemail armor? I got my 15k platemail a few weeks before they upped the armor level, and I feel it is wrong I worked so hard for it, and then there's better armor, cheaper. I have no problem with 15k being same AL as Drok's, it's just it's not fair that just because I got it before the change, I get worse armor. Not cool at all

Eventually ANet will update it, and when they do it'll be on the update page. All the info I know.

I gave up already, just salvaged my 15k set and bought some more... some things just take too long to wait for.

I've been waiting, and am about ready to salvage my armor too.

Pfft...who needs any Prophecies armor anymore? I've salvaged all mine. All that pretty Canthan armor that I can mix and match but still have the same skin.

Unless you prefer the skin you have now...then I'd just wait...and cross your fingers everytime there is an update.

It would be nice if they changed the Tyrian Armor. But I don't think it is necessary. My 15k Druid's armor is working just fine.

Obviously.... they didn't even touch the Ranger Armours.

What can i say, Anet are incompetant (and i have been saying quite a lot come to think of it). They have time to add mini-weapons onto some of the mini-pets, but yet they can't sort this out...

Isnt this in the wrong forum? This sounds more like a question than a suggestion... But yeah I think it'll be out in chapter 9. Or at least thats what I've heard.

Say you have two tasks.

One task will take a bit of time. the other task will take 5 minutes.

Now do you:
A) Finish the long task then finish the quick task.

or

B) Finish the quick task first then finish the longer task.

Either way, you get your tasks done. But if you finish the quick task first, its one less task in the back of your mind, one less thing to worry about later.

What happens if the long task gets delayed? What happens if theres complications? Then all that little task becomes an annoying bother. And what about your productivity? What do you have to show until you finish the long task? Nothing.

I don't like the warrior Canthan armor, except that piece of 15k with the dragon on it. I just want them to fix my platemail @_@

You never had to deal with a customer who wanted something with a "now now now" urgency?

i never differentianted between more important/less important. I just said two tasks.

Except everyone who does that just ends up being massively disappointed with each new update and then Gaile posts about how they should be grateful to get any updates at all.

Gaile said the armor would be fixed "soon" several weeks ago.

The Update Log says that is coming in the "near future", that was over 1 month ago!

Obviously this is not reasonable.

/is also waiting for his 15k platemail upgrade and multiple gold weapon upgrades.

/signed for actually doing what is promised on the Update Log.

Your gold's won't get updated, some of your Greens will be (since they are supposed to be max)

There was a time when there was a bugged axe in the early seared Ascalon quests that let enchantments last for 40% longer. A couple of days after this bug was made public, the devs not only stopped the axe from dropping with those stats - they also changed the stats of all the already-existing axes.

This seems to indicate that doing a similar thing of changing all the existing armor/weapon stats would also not take long or be "hard" for the devs to do.

So then, what is causing the hold up? Did they just forget about it?

If so,

/signed for the devs remembering to put in stuff that they promised in the Update Log.

I seem to recall the devs posting about gold mods also being updated, as they should be. To update greens and not golds would be massively unfair.

There's a high demand for the upgrade of armors and 20/20. I'd call that "now now now" urgency.

Changing the value on Platemail Armor is not a "long task" unless they hard coded the values of armor into the servers ROM chip using assembly code...*chuckle* and even then we could have fixed it in the UCSC computer lab in an afternoon.

While I commend you defending A.Net and their lack of action (I used to do the same), you should really take a look at the growing frequency in their inability to fix things within a reasonable time frame. The fixes keep coming later and later and later......though I stopped expecting anything within an acceptable time period when they couldn't get an auction house implemented by the time Factions released.

It shouldn't take a year to make an auction house, it shouldn't take a month to double a mod value of a gold weapon, and it certainly shouldn't take a month to upgrade a single number value from a specific armor type to another number.

A lot of us are feeling increasingly neglected. I think that's the jist of it

/Signed. For devs hurrying up.

I know mini-pet weapons are terribly important to the game balance, and i know fixing the statistics on many thousands of dedicated gw players is a really petty request, but....please oh please A-Net WE'LL DO ANYTHING TO GET OUR ARMOR UPDATED, "i'll suck your d*ck mannnn!!"

U guys ever noticed, when ever u owe someone money, they're at your door DEAD on time baseball bat in hand giving u a stare down. But when someone owes YOU money u cant find the motherf*ckers anywhere AND TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF THEM IS LIKE TRYING TO GET BLOOD FROM A STONE.


Im not saying they owe me this, but please upgrade my armor and i promise i won't hit ya.
