I can understand those appearing in the weapons shop. But if I spend my resources that I got playing the game, Consecration should have a minimum of level 3+ blessing/perks at level 30.
Are you afraid of making the player happy or something? Are you allergic to player retention?
Hadron gives level 3 blessings when you upgrade from purple to orange. But in any case, the materials required for that take like 3 hours to gather and it’s a random roll…
On a related note, when I have expended enough plasteel and diamantine to make re-perking free of charge, why can’t I simply pick the one I want from a list, at it’s max level?
Fact is I am going to sit there and re-do it over and over till I get the one I want anyway, so why is the game deliberately wasting my time?
I paid the material cost it took to get to the place where I can do it for free, at which point I should just get to pick to save time.
Most likely, their idea of player retention was to make it so that it takes 200 hours to get one weapon with approximately the stats and blessings that you want.
Basically, they took us for idiots.
Wouldn’t be surprised is it’s a chance. Haven’t played that much attention but the last time I upgraded a weapon I got a level 3 on it (purple to orange)
