Today, someone joined my group who had no shield (I didn't even know that was possible). Apparently it got removed when they were playing Lockdown and they forgot to re-equip it.
There should probably be a confirmation prompt asking if you're sure when you try to enter the clockworks with any of your major equipment slots empty; someone with no weapons or no shield equipped has probably made a mistake.
But I like the idea of confirmation prompts.
Also needs a confirmation for trying to enter the higher tier with lower tier gear, such as having 3* armor and shields when trying to enter Tier 3, or not equipping at least one 4* or higher weapon when trying to enter Tier 3.
I remember that guy in proto armor (equipped armor, not costume armor) in Tier 3, said he was moonlighting as a noob beggar to make fun of actual beggars...
+1 to this. I just saw my party member JKing without a shield. Needless to say he dies a lot.
There should be some sort of reminder.
holy cow you're right i have no shield equipped just after a round of LD
