In the first Beta version of Path of Valor there was an item (like the harvesters), which enables a 5th battle item for usage at battles for 24 hours
Canât say that Iâve ever used one in the first place.
I donât know, right now the major problem for HLâs items is that they are insanely expensive and rare, and their performance is just slightly better than forge items, if not the same.
Take hurricane vs tornado for example, 1 hr +198k iron + titan parts vs 25m +116k + farmable items, and they both give you 300 mana units (60x5 = 100x3).
Now they are taking away the ONLY item worth it the use of harpoons and crafting materials.
They might as well rebalance HL and make all items cheaper and faster to make -or better, worthy.
At least T. shields should cover the whole team.

Man, I get the nerf to Telly and Vela, after I have spent my mats on them. I understand that needs to be balanced, and so I havenât complained at all, they are doing their best to fix something that is quite difficult for them
But when I read this nerf, I just said WTF. It is pretty much the only Hunters Lodge item I am currently using with a use case. I have around twenty crafted and only use them on specific rare titans that otherwise I would score poorly on. They are extremely expensive.
Without them itâs just back to using several timestops for a similar effect. I can do that, but the shields are actually fun, difficult to use properly (avoiding stuns etc) and something different
We are fighting 13/14* titans, and honestly that gets boring, itâs nice to be able to do something a bit different occasionally
FFS, do not nerf this. I honestly feel that with all the other crap going on that this might just be the thing that drives me out of the game
I just pressed the button to research alteration scrolls. As part of your Titan arsenal they are very powerful. I have materials to craft them. Should I even bother? Are you gonna pull their teeth too?
Honestly THIS CHANGE MAKES NO SENSE

What do they think?
âHow the heck we can get rid of everything useful. It has to be possible to scare away everyone.â
Itâs going to be Hunters Dodge.
Isnât there sth else to do?

How do you use those Alteration Scrolls?
I have some but never research them in HL, because I hav not seen much advantage when used them.
I must be doing something wrong.
Iâve seen people use them on YouTube only, to get massive Titan hits. But I have not used them myself and thought I would try them.
But Iâm pretty bummed out right now and probably wonât bother. It will just be turtle banner, timestops, axes, tornadoes. Ho hum
The Hunters Lodge isnât worth bothering with any more

The only point of the item before its change was mainly titan abuse with 3 1* heroes with low defense and 1* troops. But generally the costs of the item, and required titan parts is what makes it so âmeh to decentâ when investing in making them.
You generally need about 10-12 for 3 flags, and even then you arenât guaranteed decent hits except vs special titans with a higher drop of 4*.
The investment is worth it for those special titans 12*-14*.
A bad change to the item imo.

But why⊠did it really hurt the developers that there was one useful item in the whole overpriced arsenal?
Edit: and in the whole scheme of things, this is really something to spend developer resources on?

Is there a way to continue playing the game without having to update to v30? I enjoyed this game without having to play with my balls cut off.
Congratulations to Castration Games for another unnecessary buggering

Based on earlier releases once the new version is out you will not able to use the old one after a certain amount of days.
I do not like ânerfingâ this battle item either

I have used them to jump start a terrible board.
Change the tiles, fire a tornado and get something started. Works great when running mono.
Only use them on rare titans.

But why? To what end? Leave the damn Titanium Shields alone.
Why??? Why???

Titans complained to SGG that they couldnât lay a finger on players and that they were harming themselves insteadâŠ
Poor, poor titans

This one I really donât get.
I used the shields only for rare titans and I donât even remember getting the bonus AM in any of those titans.

Funny. I predicted this coming since people were supporting SSG with Tell and Vela nerfs.
Now itâs hitting home huh? Great! Level one Aifes should not be doing 80 to 100k on rare titans. And you think heroes are overpoweredâŠ
Right???
I use the Shields only for rare titans, barely even get the desired AM and yet, they just gotta screw it up!!!
I donât even understand why they would rethink the Shields in the first place.
Thereâs even alliances that discourage the use of the Shields, why make it unuseable for everyone?
Iâm not touching ALâŠ
The first iteration of HA looks like absolute 
âŠ
Other than Harpoons, Titanium Shields, Scroll of Alteration and maybe Hunterâs Caltrops/Hurricane/Time Freeze, what else is useful in Hunterâs Lodge??
Where is this game going really???

And am I the reason Telluria and Vela were nerfed?
I never used them because theyâre resource heavy.
This might not be the best solution but Iâm not surprised at this because of people using 1*, common sense tells us that wasnât the intention of SGG when they introduced this item.
Just like how youâre restricted in troops and items in the challenge events, make these shields and other lodge items can only be used with 4*/5* heroes.
Another option is donât allow lodge items for S3 and events.
