Gilded Dagger of Waukeen~

edited October 2013 in General Discussion (PC)
I'm not normally one to gripe about getting free stuff, especially where Neverwinter is concerned. But honestly I can't be the only one to think that the model for the dagger is messed up slightly....

(And I'm only posting this thread because I was over eager and transmuted it to my normal off hand weapon without checking it first, thinking it would look like the dagger on the display rack, see attached photo...)

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up before they end up with a fugly looking dagger.

    Humm, I see your point *pause to fully take in the horrible pun*

    It looks terrible, like the handle and blade proportions got switched.

    Perhaps I should just hold it by the blade and bludgeon my foes to death, looks like that end would do more damage anyway....

    Looks like a dagger for backstabbing, not regular combat.

    All of the bladed weapons are kind of like that. All handle and very little blade. I actually thought the GF weapon was a small spear until I got it and looked at it closer. It looks like it is about 3 feet of handle and 1.5 feet of blade. The shield isn't too bad though. It has a lot of detail.

    The proportions on that dagger are indeed quite odd. Just for the sake of argument, does it change at all when you are actually wielding it?


    Here is the Waukeen GWF sword for reference:

    Comparing what it looks like on the rack, to how it is in your hand its totally different.

    On your character. The blade itself is noticeably shorter, as well as its missing the blue portion after the hilt as well, making it even shorter.

    Looks awesome on the rack.

    Very disappointing equipped.

    Nope, dagger's proportions remain the same while using it.

    Proportions of the weapons on the weapon rack look right. Lost something in translation. The 2H almost looks like a polearm, when on the weapon rack it clearly has the proportions of a sword.

    Given the speed on a fix for the Savage Skull, i wouldnt be expecting a fix for this anytime in the near future.

    I think you're looking at the GF sword next to the shield, which should be a greatsword by its size but apparently is a longsword. The GWF weapon next to it looks like a polearm but smaller overall than the equipped model is.

    It looks like an incense thurible, very traditional. Perhaps your DC is of an Eastern Orthodox tradition or very old school Roman Catholic? :)

    Most of the weapons look to be out of proportion and buggy. But the worst offender is the shield. Its not broke, just a dyed copy of a shield already in the game.

    Im wearing a Shield of the Stalwart Bulwark. Other then a few minor tweaks to the lower half of the shield, they are identical. So for 40 coins, your pretty much getting a pre-dyed Stalwarts shield.

    Okay seriously... Wth Devs? I'm not mad about the dagger, but I got one of those shields for my GF, and now I find out it's just a dyed version of another and looks nothing like the one on the rack? That's just cheap...

    It's pretty much a slightly altered T1 shield. IIRC the Knight Captain and Valiant Warrior have the same design.

    No. It's pocket-sized, perfect for traveling clerics :D

    It's not just the proportions... the model is entirely different. The hilt and grip are completely different.

    Yea, thats my character in the image with a shield of the stalwart bulwark on her back, not the gilded shield. I was just showing the subtle differences, or lack thereof, between the two.

    I must say, the DC and CW are the ones getting out easy, the only possible thing wrong with those weapons are the size, otherwise they're really nice imo, especially the CW one.

    I like the orb too, especially with terror enchantment to make the pearl white part black. It looks fine in PE and foundry, but the enchantment effect is messed up when I was in Sharandar killing mobs. The effect was in my hand instead of in the orb.

    The GF longsword(transmuted onto my formarian and dyed, it's normally the garish bright gold)

    Looks pretty good imo. Much better than the shield.

    I was "lucky" yesterday with the coins dropping and got me one and was totally disappointed by it. It looks like he has nothing in the hand but a chain. There is basically no symbol showing up. Only a little stump shows above the hands. Terrible. We were tricked already with the CTA Tiefling weapon, that looks terrible, the purchasable Sharandar fey symbol looks bad, too, and the flower symbol from the flower-picking event was <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> as well.

    That is why I really vote for a weapon revamp for the cleric. Seriously, just google for D&D cleric and you will see what I mean. I want a hammer. Either one-handed or two-handed. Or maces, flails... the usual Cleric stuff that LOOKS COOL and make you a real battle cleric. This cross-like chain thing that always looks like a censer maybe useful in a ritual but does not belong on the battlefield. Hammers, maces, flails, morning-stars... you could add so much cool transmutes and looks to them.

    Give me a hammer finally! Maybe then our weapon transmutables we can earn during events will finally look cool. I only can laugh at the moment at the cleric's looks and his combat animation thus looks horrible as well.

    I just hope the weapons don't get "wow or 40,k" size. I was never a fan of the WoW or warhammer art work, everything so huge and ridiculous looking.

    As an owner of the sideways skull graffics I will plug a "please please please" again to fix it :)

    Something pretty funny I found out, this blue orb looks just like the event one?

    Not so special after all, lmao.

    Looks like they just turned the orb of storms on its side. Wonder if that was intentional or another variant on the savage skull issue (still not fixed btw). Either way I agree with the OP I was disappointed with the TR dagger skin on my character (was ok on the display rack). Its cool to have these events but it seems that items which are specifically for appearance change should be new skins, markedly different from existing skins, and not bugged (CW skull) or if bugged at least quickly fixed. I did like the skin on the GWF sword though so there was some good work here too. I just want the devs to keep improving.

    Just picked up a shield to use for a transmutation to the Waukeen Shield for my GF, I was initially dreading it because I thought it was going to look nothing like the one that was on the rack, but to my surprise it looks exactly as it should. (At least in the preview) Did they fix the other skins too? o__o

    If this is the case, I just wanted to say thanks to the Devs for fixing it. :D

    (Yes I know that's my TR But I didn't get any coins with my alts.)
