Weapon Upgrades

[TerrorBite]

But an argument is invalid if 'the way i put it' makes it no longer an issue anymore. you can't call this feature not worth implementing due to effort if it doesn't have to require much, and this goes for every argument.

Now you're saying that more weapons should not be added, but isn't the reason more weapons are always being added partially due to the top tier legendary's being massed over time? This feature would decrease the number of them in the game each time one is consumed, so in the long term this would assist this issue, not make it worse.

The load time increase is the reason why we wouldn't want to go overboard in this. However for this feature to work well, not many items need to be added. If there are let's say 1500 item equivalents that must be loaded during textures in loading screen, for this feature to make a massive impact on the game, just 50 items could do it, for ~12 items per class. I'll do loading time tests and try to work out how much longer it might be.

Those 4 swords using 16 model variations is the same propotion to other models though, assuming 1 upgrade per weapon on 4 legendary's, this is not a big deal.
Hold on, i'll get numbers and then modify this post more.
Also, i'd like to know what people would think about those uniform colours as upgrade legendary's, imo those look amazing, even if they are lower quality or w/e (ill look into specifics soon), and using the uniform colours that are less extreme they look even better than those you posted.
