About weapon upgrade:
-hope its not only to those 1 piece equipment. Eventually set item will be more viable in the end.
- if its a set item, i hope that after rank up to higher tier, it will still have the same item needed for set boost.
- after rank up weapon, it should be more powerful than a +15 before it even if its +0 of a higer tier. Retain the stat bonus given for all the previous +15 upgrades. Its not a little investment for a 4* to a 5* than to know that your 4* +15 is way more better than the new rank up 5* +0 equipment.
-the most important is, i hope there wont be rng in this respect like weapon forge. The pros in this new feature is the stat bonus, if you dont retain the previous +15 stat bonus. Its no much different that the weapons u get from weapon forge.
that is very common but eventually a +15 5* weapon will still outclass a +15 4* weapon. Usually the break even point at somewhere at +6/7 of a higher tier weapon.
Yes..eventually but look at a f2p perspective..to get to a 5* +15 will already consume tons of gold alone. That just 1, make it 6 piece for one hero. Make it for 5 hero full. That will take ages. This is just equipment, there still hero upgrade, runes n training that also consumes alot of gold.
Like i mentioned, retain the bonus that we get from +15 on previous level tier. If not, its just the same like how it is now.
Let say u have a 4* +15 with really good bonus stat and u rank up a tier to 5* +0 but the bonus is gone. Isnt that the same as getting a plain 5* equipment. Those bonus that gives en edge to compete with p2p for a f2p. They invest alot in it but to get the same and loosing more. P2p too can get the same benefit of it or just get a plain 5* fast and invest the gold in other things.
I bet the equipments that will be implemented on these features are the single equipment and maybe the 2 piece sets equiment. No way the gonna do it for the premium 4 piece set equiment. So who can have 4 piece set equipment, most of the p2p. Who can have 2 piece set equiment, everybody.
So without that bonus, goodluck on competting with the whales.
