Not really… again it depend of what you think is a something that is excellent.
It seems that a good weapon for several players is what I call a perfect weapon.
In the current system you can get with little work a weapon 375+ with 2 blessings T4 (or the blessings you aimed) and with a T4 perk. This just take time. And, I think that it takes too much time.
However, it seems that several players want the perfect item. It can be made by multiple features. But, I doubt that they will introduce that now… at the beginning of the life of DT. Giving such feature is often a way to recover part of the player base.
And I doubt that the more than 100k players that tested the game and left it have think to an end game feature as the main reason why they don’t keep playing. And yes, I can be wrong.
I am really not sure what would bring to the game the possibility to have weapon maxed actually. You don’t need them, so it is not mandatory to play even at highest difficulty, this would mean that you will never get something better, and if the solution is just to remove the locks, it destroys the entire game system they have built.
Tbh, removing locks would seem for me like activating cheats on a solo game. It is fun at first… but quickly you think that the game has no more interest.
Ok… I will let people speaking about how bad are the locks in a 165 895th thread. I already know the outcome. This is bad. FS needs to remove them. 6 months later locks will be here and nothing would have come from these discussions.
I think that, from all the discussions of the last days, we can now see that the reasons behind the demand to remove locks are multiple. Part of player find too difficult to get something they would want (good, excellent… matter of feeling) and part of players want just a way to get the perfect weapon.
First players could find a solution in the current system with few changes, the others will have to wait until they release some sort of red weapons. But sure, such discussions were people just want to talk to other people that think the same and just repeat “remove the locks” will surely bring lot of input to the devs and will surely change their mind… or not.
