[alone]

Or at least a good reason for the change

[Da_J_Mooney]

I like the old picture a lot better.

[Scripto]

Have to say... I like'd the old one better myself.

[Raylen]

Lol old one is better by far

[Dracon]

yah old pic's way better

Also, the new pic looks like a rifle equipped w/ a bayonette

[Elrik]

Old one looks far more dangerous. The new one looks more like a Space Shuttle, in a way...

[Crane]

"A pair of long talon-like mithril claws, one secured onto each forearm. The edges are filed to a razor-sharp blade and the tips to an ultra-fine point; the result is a couple of highly dexterous weapons that can easily block all kinds of enemy onslaught and, in return, deliver clean slashes and stabs to the attacker with minimal effort. And just to top it off, the claws give off a sparkle so splendid that it can only be associated with truesilver."

The older picture does not match that description for the Mithril Claws, whereas the new one is a bit closer to the description. The old one is more suited to the Torashuko.

and especially when u have to pay a little more for it...you would like a littlemore uniqueness. but the pic look alright i guess. they both look good. but thew new one looks like a blade, not claws...lol.

They are blades, although I can see how the name causes confusion.

My design of the Mithril Claws was to have a katana-like blade strapped securely onto each arm, so they act like long talons instead of claws. The closest existing equivalent that springs to mind is the Psi Blades of the Protoss Zealot, although they are straight, psionic and can be turned off!

[xvision]

old mith claws are better, just make the blade (one in the middle) a little more longer to make it more intimidating

[Snoopy]

old pic was much better

[combusta]

so then lets change the desc? cuz most of us are aestetic anyway and only care about the picture.....so just change the pic 2 the old one, no1 complained about it not being accurate anyway

[Elrik]

Perhaps just use the same picture for both, but flip one of them upside down and invert or change the hue.

Just a crazy idea which will find little support among the playerbase...

[combusta]

i think the playerbase doesnt really give a nuts how, i think we just want the old pic back

[combusta]

so we gonna change it back?

Pretty much lol...good descriptions are nice, but if something doesn't have a pic then...

[Raylen]

Lovingly and painstakingly crafted from truesilver, the Mithril Claws grip tightly to your wrists. Long, talon-like blades extend across the backs of your hands and knuckles, three on each hand. The edges are filed to a razor-sharp blade and the tips to an ultra-fine point; the result is a couple of highly dexterous weapons that can easily block all kinds of enemy onslaught and, in return, deliver clean slashes and stabs to the attacker with minimal effort.


I kept half of the original and added some to fit the picture. So if you want the picture, maybe you could use this

[Krakatoa]

the new pic is disappointing, and seeing as the old pic won't be used.. then i'd suggest that something better be made

[combusta]

Is any staff watching this? for god sake change it back

[Trevayne]

I like the old picture.

[Snoopy]

i sold all my mithril claws now lol. bots n cobalts are easyer on the eyes

[Crane]

Curiously, who submitted the original Mithril Claws picture?

[ΣXCΩΠVICŦ]

not to be rude, but the new one looks more like a "retractable fishing pole" and hmmmm.......... lol that "vibrating thingy" O.O

gotta be wholesome, dont want to get the warning level going up.

[Kakarott]

Imagine for the Mithril Claws, the Mortal Kombat character Baraka. That is basicaly what the description is implying. Not necesarily strap on Wolverine hands.

[combusta]

[Piggy]
