I’d like to know from Fatshark if they are considering allowing us to break unused items for materials.
If this is never going to happen I would also like to know so I can clear my inventory.
If there’s no decision currently but may or may not be implemented in the future I would also like to know.
Basically, it would be helpful if we knew whether keeping unused items in our inventory could be beneficial sometime in the future or someone from Fatshark has already cleared this by saying “You will never be able to break items for anything else than ordo dockets”
They said they are looking at a solution to all the bad RNG. Related, but not the specific question you wanted answered. But some of those unused gear might be useful if they finally allow you to break the locks.
I’ve learned hard way to NOT “clear inventory” based on any communication from FS until the changes they are talking about are actually implemented.
Do you remember those couple weeks before Omnissiah Tools patch came out? When grey “combine blessings” button was teasing us for 2 months?
I’ve used up something close to 1,5 - 2 mln tokens to buy all available low (1 or 2) level blessings I could get my hands on. I was hoping to combine them as soon as patch was in place.
Imagine my horror (it was before “magnifying glass indicator” was introduced), when I had to manually check EVERY, SINGLE, WEAPON out of 300+ I’ve been hoarding, just to be sure I’ve already learned this blessing and I’m not discarding something that could be sacrificed to Hadron.
That’s when I pulled out piece of paper and started to take notes. What do I have? What do I miss? Can I discard this gun? It was heart breaking to see all my hard work to be for nothing because someone decided to change upgrade system without informing fan base.
I’ve got a bit bitter after that.
This has been asked before and it’s a great way to make sure anything you get is actually somewhat useful and not just a pittance of dockets, however Fatshark is both unable and unwilling to implement useful mechanics to their RNG trash fire.
Like in VT2. Not a bad idea, as I’ve reached 5 million docket cap it will make it useful to trash unrequired weapons and get something out of them to still give me feeling of progression.
VT2
Grab all tomes, grims etc
Mission end hope it is enough for General/Emperors chest
Click 3 times to open chests from centre of keep and from Orki’s challenges
Very easy and doesn’t require much materials to upgrade or change traits at all. Straight forward and no locks.
Break down old weapons
Repeat mission
Very smooth and enjoyable that way, no stress of RNG
I feel you 100%
I keep a spreadsheet to keep track of blessings that I have / need
I also downloaded that “favourite item” mod so I can mark which weapons are meant to be upgraded, sold or broken-down for mats and which weapons are good, potentially good or best in slot.
Not gonna lie, it’s really annoying when you’ve put over 1000h in the game and you HAVE to track things in spreadsheets hoping that if you do this it might take you another 1000h instead of another 2000h of gameplay to get what you want through crafting (due to RNG and lack of plasteel)
They could even try something new like breaking down unwanted weapons for a special type of material that you need to unlock a locked blessing / perk or increase/reroll the modifiers of your weapons.
On top of that they could also add special stations in maps where you need to bring those mats to craft the component needed for unlocking perks/blessings or increasing/rerolling modifiers
Want more?
You could also need some essence dropping from certain bosses: Chaos spawn, Plague Ogryn, Demonhost, Assassination boss, Beast of Nurgle
This would make it more like a legendary quest for you to be able to turn your good weapons into best in slot and at the same time it would make unwanted items useful (as materials needed for this quest)
Yes and no. Depends what are we talking about. Autoguns? Sure, scrap away.
Power weapons? Hell no! We are talking about munitorum grade weapons - dime a dozen.
It’s when we are talking about bolters, lasguns and other weapons with machine spirit Hadron might go radical on our bottoms. But frankly, she gives me experimental and unorthodox kind of vibe.
just upgrading item (any stat) should be allowed to max value (80), and not crossings of max (380 now) base rating of wrapon. you should just pure in diamantine to make it happen.
the same with upgrading blessings and perks to higher tier or switching them by removing the locks.
rng would be then just starting point, if you are lucky you get good item at first try, if luck is against you just put some more diamantine and get item upgraded without involving rng. end result item is the same, just your wallet hurts a bit more in latter case.
this would be the best progression system as it would allow to build arsenal of weapons over time, without involving rng in predatory fashion.
i know this was said so many times, now its my turn to repeat it
It feels like Fatshark thinks the best way to answer this thread is by not answering.
They could literally just say “it is something we haven’t decided on so it can go either way” and it would be a better answer than constantly waiting for threads like this to expire and get locked…
communication is hard if left hand does not know what right hand is doing. hence they stopped any attempts to explain how they hang themselves. they will still do it, just in Charlie Chaplin style
