Didnt know about Lumieres upgrades. So there is still chance they will be the strongest EP 5 weapons O:
Not happy about the grind related thing as this means grinding weapons will be more expensive unless I am missing something s:

- Cool TDs. Will farm to get.

Bringer's Rifle
-- Using the Mode Change WA stocks up to six special bullets and powers up your normal attack.

- Not sure about this. Can someone explain what these special bullets could entail (if PSO-related?)

Special Story Enemies?
-- Dark Empe Rappy will appear outside the story in the future. No plans for SOROKING D, but he is surprisingly popular, so that is being considered.

- I guess this hints even more to the Dark Rappy pet idea being closer to fruition.

-- Launcher/TMG Dive Roll Shoot now Jump/Dive Roll cancellable

-- Crafted Discs can now be sold on Player Shop

- Sword Buffs afre cool
- Dive roll changes are nice I suppose

- Element Conversion off-element changes and the EPD/S4 changes make me think super buff for Forces.

- Bullet Bow and JB buffs are welcomed and long overdue.

- Selling Crafted discs in shops means more $$ for anyone with near full/full crafting workshops.

I mean quality of life is nice and all, but...

This might be about the most meaningless improvements you could give to JB, and it'll only come in 4 months.

Like, how about some nice new PAs.

JB, DB, and Bo in general needs more than new PAs. They need multi adjustments, QoL improvements, PA adjustments to make them work better, tree adjustments. After that, sure new PAs.

[ArcaneTechs]

Don't forget to add confirmation about OT Austere weps getting a trade conversion (which we still dont know the Req's for it yet since they haven't said it) so people can stop asking (or reminded) that it was always going to be a thing for when it hits

Remove BO, make it better than ever, add it back to game no but seriously the dam class needs work

Revised the effects of [Element Conversion]. The [Other Element Conversion Rate] will become 45% at Level 5. Along with this, the potential [Eternal Operation Device] and Ability [S4:Refined Providence] will be adjusted.

I once said here that they should find a way to improve Elemental Conversion for off-weapon elements. People here said that I was mad and that this not need improving, that getting 6 times the same weapon was THE way to go. Guess SEGA agrees more with me on that one!!!

Later, I said that with the introduction of weapons that can a adjust Elemental Conversion for off-weapon elements (EPD, Atra Zemus) that people will expect such features for future rods. You all said that I was mad for this too and that people will move on with whatever new powerful rod they come out with. Well I didn't see anyone with Phobos Soleil since it came out and with a boost for both Eternal Operation Device & S4:Refined Providence, who will want to have a rod that doesn't do this now?

It also looks like my predictions for upgrading OG Austeres will also come to fruition:

Yes there’s going to be a method to upgrade the OT Austere

Screw the IT world, I should become a prophet.

JB and DB adjustments are good.

they clarified before yesterday that all of this would be happening to begin with. yesterday was only confirmation, not new info.
also unless i'm mistaken, their Q&A stated an "update" for lumiere, not "upgrade". proof for the word "upgrade" would be nice.

-Now they have to unfuck the rest of the Ra
-It isn't really BB buff, it had bad defense, but it wasn't Ra tier bad as you still had step dodge and it was quite mobile plus iframes on bomber zero. What bbow needs is something to be done with retarded PP consumption (I'm still amazed what kind of retard you gotta be to not just nerf BA damage but make it x2.5 / 50PP cost) and overreliance on Rapid Shot but it doesn't seem we are getting that.
- R N G discs. I bet those +0/-10 discs will cost gorrillions, I mean haven't crafted one so those can't be cheap.

It's a good but overdue improvement, they should've implemented it the day they added super saiyan kick but it seems sega has no idea what JB are (among numerous other things). I wonder if they will fix locked on dash attack going through enemy without damaging it and that retarded travel PA being completely useless at range against anything that is not immobile.
