Metal shields - for 100 time

[Uriel]

Dir J&L,
for the love of God, give us metal shields. Just give them a bit more armor and durability than wooden ones.

+1 i support any more variety for shields,

u can literally make custom shields... they have more variety than 99% of everything else in the game. Rly feels like typical MMO stuff where people want a new tier just to have a new tier, then the new tier feels like the old tier after 1 day and they go right back to asking for a new tier

i dont really care if its metal or not i just want kite shields and tower shields instead of the round shield we currently have

i never liked round shields in any mmo i played, they make me feel naked and puny, as opposed to the very elegant and knightly kite shield

I think it's kinda weird to ask an endgame player to use an item you can craft on day 2 of the game as the only option for a way to use one of the combat maneuvers. Fully admit I'm oblivious to the effective utility of Shield Up, but balancing can accommodate it one way or the other I'd hope.

Sure, there's always a push for "more plz", but most combat equipment groups have 2-3 tiers in haven and it's always felt odd shields only have 1.

u can make metal within an hour of making leather and a shield u make 1 year into the world will be way better than the shield u made on day 3. it's kinda the whole basis of the quality system

I think the vast majority of the haven population doesn't have metal day 2 and I was talking in terms of the game's average players not the best. But if that's your issue, make the shield require steel.

metal shields get suggested very often because there is only one tier... how many times have you seen people ask for new tiers of leg armor?

Crafting from steel, increased block weight for shield up and of course much more armor, maybe an AGI penalty. Wouldn't feel samey at all, and with the current metal industry progression both types of shield would be used even if it was made of wrought iron or bronze

[Uriel]

I sugest making bronze and steel shields - like plate armors. Penalty to agi, more armor than wooden one.

It's probably not a good idea to base suggestions on one's Haven & Hearth speed run.
