Lets just take into account enhanced perk costs only on a weapon which for easier math is 1 alloy + 2000 element (yes I know the other resources exist but thats not required for this point) Assuming there is a cap of 10 ascendant alloys (cannot find the exact number on this) it means in theory we can change a weapon 10x before we run out of resources on ascendant alloys. Issue is we also need 20,000 element to reshape 10 enhanced perks using 10 ascendant alloys (either on a single weapon or on multiple for whatever reason) To obtain 20,000 element [b]which is how much it would cost to reshape 10 enhanced perks[/b] it requires 100 red box weapons....... I believe assuming (no kills) it takes 3 strike runs to complete a frame, lets say 2 runs at best assuming kills in between those strikes to get 1 finished. A player can complete 3 at once (but with varying percentages on each due to which weapon is used more) however for the sake of argument, lets assume all 3 are done at the same time/same rate. a strike can range from anywhere to 5-15 minutes so lets go for the middle ground of 10 minutes. So to complete 3 red box weapons, it takes roughly 10 minutes to complete. to complete 18 red box weapons this would take 1 hour..... but we need 100 to match the potential alloy cap of 10 (which are already stupidly hard to get) I dont expect this change even after the twitter announcement so to complete 100 red box frames would take just under 6 hours of total grind to complete 100 red frames. This also does not account for the other material limits like Adroit element which for the sake of argument requires 70 per enhanced perk (ofc substitute the adroit with other materials) but the cost of 70 is the same, so to complete 3 enhanced perks along side the Neutral element and alloy you need, you can do 3 before you hit a "cap" of 250 on the adroit element or in this case a cap of 210 before you dont have enough for the 4th. 6 hours for what is 10 enhanced perk changes is not only stupid, but also proof this system was not tested. I've not even touched the Adroit/Energetic etc. element costs. You only need 21 red frames to reach those limits yet we need 5x that number to be able to reshape 10 enhanced perks which isnt a lot considering the number of crafted weapons is due to increase over the year and so does the overall cost to each frame once spec'd out. This doesnt take into account the time you would also need to spend getting a weapon to level 16 to even get enhanced perks unlocked for purchase, but if you need to spend 6 hours combined to reshape 5-10 weapons along side levelling those 5-10 weapons up you could easily be looking at 8+ hours of actual game time before you can achieve that (assuming you also have alloys before all this) which if we add a small 2 hour grind for 10 alloys (very generous) thats at least 10 hours to reshape 5-10 weapons :D RNG literally has better odds than this crap. [spoiler]If you think im gunna spend 6 hours straight earning that many resources for a pathetic 10 reshapes (its 2 per weapon) so in theory thats 5 weapons worth of resources lmao yh you can actually shove it. while we are at it, imagine using red frames for a potential combined time of 6 hours (thats 6 hours worth of gameplay not using your actual god roll/crafted weapons) the system is flawed and clearly was never tested. Even if you remove the alloy cost or made it a one time purchase, its still 6 hours worth of anyone's time that is lost using there good guns in any activity they choose fit. last 2 years you have consistently been pushing the bullshit ideology of "we want you to use what we say" you do it with champion mods (yet again double primary this season if you dont use glaives) well mods force us into a "match energy type meta" which is disturbingly contradictory to match game content. why do we even pay for your consistent -blam!- ups year in year out.
