Zabanyium Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 As we all know waiting for a new weapon to come out of the clan labs can be extremely tiresome. This idea is to prevent that from happening with the clan labs and rather than researching new weaponry that some clans may or may not be able to get we use the clan labs to research upgrades for weaponry. By researching weapon upgrades it means not all the under-powered weapons in the game are entirely useless. And means there will be MORE VARIETY of weapons used within the game. These upgrades will ONLY provide better, permanent stats on weapons and no negative stats or RNG involved. The weapon upgrades at hand will be specifically for: damage, fire rate, status chance, reload speed, etc. They should not be a percentage based value but rather a value that's set in stone to prevent powerful weapons getting even more powerful. And each upgrade should be able to be re-applied and stacked up to a maximum of 3-5 times; on top of this newer upgrades of the same kind should have a more expensive cred/material cost. This should be an exponential system but does not get to the point the upgrades are impossible to apply upon the weapon. This system will also have an upgrade time of 2 days for each time the player decides to upgrade it. This means the player needs to decide if they are willing to wait 2 days for their weapon to be upgraded. This time may also be a time to let players play around with other weapons if they haven't done so yet. By applying this system it means researching weapons in the clan will be made redundant. I believe doing this and moving the weapon blueprints over to the main market should be done therefore players do not need to wait 3 days to use a new weapon; that being it a good or a bad weapon. Applying these permanent upgrades SHOULDN'T remove previous formas or catalysts as these are to make weapons suitable for the late game and not to be another grind-fest. Thanks for reading. If there is any feedback or questions throw them down below. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeithanDiniem Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This idea would pretty much slaughter the primary draw to clans in the first place, exclusive weapons, more so since the creation of the ignis wraith and it being the first true exclusive weapon in clans. Next, this is just more power creep that would do nothing but make people complain more that enemies are not challenging enough to compare to players. Some mediocre weapons with even a 5 to 10% change to a key stat would become stupidly broken. Next, it adds a full new layer of balance checks DE would have to do every time they so much as look at tweaking a weapon for balance purposes. Gotta say this idea would have pretty extreme negative effects to the wellbeing of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
