So, do you think SEGA gave up on weapon crafting?

[the_importer_]

Wow, this topic sure turned morbid

[SteveCZ]

Threads that bait speculations are always like this.

[AlphaBlob]

Weapon Crafting, PA crafting, Casino, Challenge Mode....

Gathering will be the next thing

Don't forget Ultimate Quests.

[wahahaha]

If they release amduscia UQ, it will probably send to hell Naberius once more and riripa.
They would need to make 12* units, a new form of anga and more 13 stars to bait people along with new PA's / Techniques.
I honestly believe that ice/light compound was released too soon.

[Nitro Vordex]

It's a pity, so many nice weapon skins that will never see the light of day

This tho. When do we get to sacrifice weapons to turn them into camos, because holy shit some of the seven and eight star weapons are like 100x better than most of the 13* designs.

[Achelousaurus]

12* crafting probably won't happen cause of the photon booster potentials which make most 12*s either on par or slightly better than some 13*s.

Kinda sad how much 13*s really ruined this game. They had to resort to giving 12*s stupidly OP potentials just to give them their time in the sun.

Nah. What ruined 12* were 12*.
Only few were good by the time 13* came. And then Sega kept adding decent ones that were still inferior to 13*.
Sega thought it was like before when they kept adding 11* and 12* at the time time, 12* the big epic stuff and 11* the good stuff thats easier to get and grind.

But by the time 13* were out and Sega still added 12*, 12* were still not a lot better than 11* in many cases and still were a real bitch to grind.

Like the 12* nyau rod with 16% light boost pot. It only has 23 more atk than Caduceus.

Yeah.

It's particularly weird since a direct competitor (Dragon's Dogma Online) lets you use literally anything as a skin, and you don't even need to sacrifice it.

[Mio]

Yeah I don't understand why they don't make an appearance system like most games do nowadays.
There's so many interesting weapon skins in the game, it would also give a value in the market for low useless weapons.

[Korima]

Weapon Skins? why? Sega doesn't want you to battle enemies anymore, they want you to go fishing or mining and sit in the cafe with your high school uniform to talk about the new fashion items in the next update.

[Z-0]

There's nothing wrong with not releasing new things all the time, the issue is that old content becomes obsolete due to them shoving better and better items into anything new to make people play that instead of older content (especially with EQs).

It'd be fine if Ultimate felt like it was worth playing, for example, but it simply isn't and you might as well just gather and wait for the next EQ to get all your shinies. Nobody wants to play content that doesn't reward them in some way significant, regardless of how "fun" it might be, especially if it forces a large number of players. (which is only fine if it's something everyone wants to play because best shinies). While Ares is a decent draw, it still takes a rather large time investment to get all 180 stones, something people would rather put elsewhere for better items.

When it comes to things like Weapon Crafting, PA Crafting... I really don't think there's any issue with them being "forgotten" considering there isn't really any new content to justify a power creep. While PA crafting would be cool for more PAs, do we really need to buff some PAs at this point? (Well, yes, but we really do not need more power creep at this point)
