Currently every psyker stave/staff is its own ‘weapon family’.
This is going to be REALLY bad when the itemization update you’ve talked about drops, because now experience with weapons and such to make them better will be tracked by family. This also needs to be fixed with stuff like the bolt pistol and assault shotgun but is really obviously a problem for the staves specifically.
I get fusing Lucius Lasgun in themselves, or the Autogun in their specific families.
But I’m not sure if it would feasible to fuse the Staves, as they don’t even all have the same blessings, and having to make all the blessings work on both a Purgatus and a Surge would be very limiting.
Those, maybe the shotguns, the Rumbler/Kickback/Thugshot and a couple of others really ought to be considered different weapons all together.
And tbh I don’t think we have a good enough grasp to how the system will work to see if it’s possible or not
Considering that they can not really share all blessings across all staffs, i don’t think this is reasonable.
They could instead make exceptions and combine some weapons that are losely related, just in regard to leveling (if feasible).
Or there are just a few weapons that are alone in their family.
I don’t really mind.
Could this really be that hard to implement? Whenever you try to bless a staff, the blessings that aren’t available for that particular staff type could just appear grayed out or something. The game would have to have some way of recognizing that certain blessings shouldn’t get rolled on certain staff types when a staff is created/upgraded (despite those blessings existing in its weapon family), but that’s about it.
Of course, whether that’s compatible with whatever crafting system Fatshark is cooking up is anybody’s guess. But it’s not hard to imagine how this could work. You could argue that it wouldn’t lead to the most intuitive system and might confuse some players, but that’s where we are already.
