No matter what happens the ilvl at some point will probably go up and make all these weapons useless anyway.
(I mean like 400 modifier stats being max instead of 380)
Iāve been thinking they might also make crafting mats much easier to find and crafting much more expensive otherwise thereās going to be a ton of people with loads and loads of materielās saved up on day one of the roll out of the crafting system because they took so long but we will see
According to fatshark, thereās no plans to do so anytime soon, the reason why itās not just 100% is to leave room for maybe in the farflung future, but I donāt see how that should stop them from simply implementing a proper progression system and hey, adding something as simple as āupgrade your weaponā to the crafting and letās say make bosses useful by having them drop said upgrade materials would solve the issue of useless gear.
We know how it works. Thereās an entire post on how itāll work.
You take a blessing from another weapon, said weapon gets destroyed in the process. I think it might return some crafting materials (?) would make sense anyway, but thatās spankulations
You can then take said blessing item and combine with another of the same type - a bit fussy whether itāll just take any of such blessing to upgrade or you need two of the same tier to upgrade - I hope it is the former rather than the latter.
You can then attach said blessing item (probably cost plasteel/diamantine)
What we donāt know is if we can only do it once (bad) or twice (good).
You may also choose to surrender a weapon to Hadron in exchange for a Votive Offering dedicated to one of the weaponās Blessings. This allows you to extract the Blessings you are interested in from weapons you no longer want, and collect them for use with the Combine or Re-Bless actions.
Combine Blessings
At the Shrine you may choose to combine three Votive Offerings into a single upgraded Votive Offering. Currently, most Votive Offerings have a maximum Tier of IV, but there are some exceptions to this. Weāre testing a few different options with the requirements and the results of combining these Votive Offerings.
Re-Bless
By Re-Blessing a weapon in the Shrine, you can replace a weaponās existing Blessing by expending a Votive Offering from your collection, further tailoring the weapon to your liking. The weapon gains the Blessing associated with the chosen Votive Offering -he original Blessing is lost in the process.
I play with friends. I really enjoy the missions. People have rightful complaints about that, but I think they got the combat nailed down. Some polish with ranged. I donāt even mind the hounds that people seem to hate so much. Bring them on.
With that said, everything around the missions is not so great so Iām levelling alts and playing as long as I have fun only in the missions. I wonāt bother with gear at all for the time being, and if they donāt have anything finished by the time that I feel that I have to bother about gear then Iāll likely move on.
I fully get people not thinking like me on this one though.
The game should never have been released in this state. Delay until it is done and you could have had an amazing launch with glowing reviews in stead of mostly negative (since launch, including beta it is still mixed).
I wonder what the odds of decent/stable content updates are within the next 4-6 weeks. If those āchangesā actually address any of the major concerns of the community they will be pretty significant overhauls; If they havenāt even started on these āchangesā yet, then the timeline looks pretty grim.
Seemingly, there was no way for them to know that their obviously bad systems were bad. Not a single soul discovered it internally. Nor did anyone mention it in closed beta. Or open beta. Nope. They suddenly discovered their systems were horrifically bad over xmas.
So yeah, for a studio that takes 6-24 months to discover something obviously bad, so bad that a five second glance shows itās bad⦠I donāt have high hopes for their timeline of fixing it. No doubt they are now having serious discussions and rountables to try to discern what is bad, because itās clearly completely eluded them so far.
