Before we re-heirloom: are the rumours true about shields and horses?

[Magikarp]

This one is a question for the devs. I think this will prevent a lot of: omfg gimme second heirloom reset whine.
Will shields and horses receive a heirloom nerf in the future?

I won't give my personal opinion on the matter.

If they plan on it they wont tell you so its pointless to ask that's my experience on these issues 

Only thing you know for sure is that it would only be common sense if they did since its pointless not to use all your loom points on either horses shield armors xbow ect ect anything but weapons.

So i would just wait and see.

That's bull, it's always been better to loom your weapons and it still is. But since I'm in a clan I'm thinking of looming my horse for clan battles, while others could drop me a lance.

That depends on how much PS you aim for.

Ill rather be able to carry a cheap armor with the same defence as one of the moar expensive ones and save money there or be able to take and endless amount of beating on my shield or have an godlike horse then 4 + dmg on my main weapon or reload and deal more dmg wit my xbow.

Its a matter of opinion i guess

Meh, I hope the devs at least indicate if they are thinking about it or not.
That would instantly mean a big fat no to heirlooming any of my horses. Scaling already is quite bad for armoured ones.

Shields already received an heirloom nerf.

edit: Looking into shields a bit more I noticed they all received a bit of an adjustment with the new patch: higher armor values with lower HP. The heirlooms work the same way. Each heirloom gives less HP than previous but adds more armor. So in effect shields are more effective against anything that's not a shield breaker and less effective against shield breaking weapons.

If they did all this work already, I doubt they'll change it in the future. Anyway, it's not like shields are OP as it is.

Before the looming fest came, I was sitting in IRC and Fasader said that it's true.

But then other dev said that it won't happen because shield's heirlooms got nerfed already...

So I dont know who should I believe?

I want to know what will happen to my future heirloom, because I wanted to heirloom Steel Shield once now.

But WHAT if they nerfed shields' heirlooms so much, that it will be +50 hp +4 res at masterpiece if compared to basic version? then I'd prefer to heirloom steel pick, lol!

[Magikarp]

I heirloomed my horse anyway. If they nerf it, than fuck it. At least I didn't nerf the Arabian Warhorse, which will surely get hit.

[Gristle]

When considering future nerfs, armor seems to be a safe heirlooming choice.

[Bobthehero]

I dont care, heirloomed my sword :3

I feel like trolling you. Just don't know how. That make me feel sad.

Thank you for making me feel sad.

And don't believe their lies!
