another shields problem - typos wont explain this

[ironcladtrash]

I should have clarified. They should have both a cap and an armor increase, from what I understand.

Yes they do and are the same. The issue is now one has a resistance and the other doesn't but otherwise have identical stats. So there is no choice between what shield to use.

We've identified where our algorithm failed. A mismatch in the naming convention lead to various numbered ranked shields getting the stats from the tier above them. We'll be correcting this in a future patch.

Nice sleuthing.

I doubt T.D. is willing to take a stab at any kind of answer for this, knowing we'd probably all claw his eyes out again...

If they ever do fix shields at all I'm betting it will be one of those ninja patches so they don't ever have to acknowledge the fact that it was a MISTAKE, not a typo...revisionist history is so fun!

A typo is kind of a mistake right? I make 'em alla time.

Soooo does that mean the fours will be getting a nerf instead of the fives getting a buff?

[Agent Freeman]

A fix. Not a nerf.

Riiiiiiiight, okay, got it.

If we are not being clear in reporting an issue Please let us know. It would be tremendous if you or whatever dev is working on it came in and asked us directly some questions on the forums or through kiwi. We would be more than happy to point out or give further explanations on what we see as the problem.

It often feels like we are not being listened to or just ignored when reporting something. A lot of direct communication would help cut down on the backlash and inflammatory posts coming from us.

Sounds like a roman numerals problem maybe.

Seriously, this sounds like instead the V's will get the nano resistance and the IV's will be the lesser shield instead. That would fix it!

Prob means they will give V the nano res and remove it from the IVs. So yeah IV nerf if that happens...
