Stormforce weapons need to make a comeback

[Vrazicak]

Hello everyone!

With the arrival of Elite Duneveil, even the latest Veilblade gear has become irrelevant, the only solution lies within the stormforce weapons.

Releasing the said weapons before elite content even rolled out was an irrational move, many people didn't want to pay 500m+ at the time for a weapon that seemed useless (because veilblade gear did a great job up until the last few months).

Adding it to the Duneveil vendor crates would be a good move both for your finances and for our gameplay experience, and since you've already added the event-exclusive veil elemental sets I think stormforce weapons would be a great addition as well.

I do understand that Rusk-themed weapons have always been event exclusive, however this is the very first rusk weapon that is BoE, and there's basically none left nowadays.

Since not having a stormforce weapon for elite duneveil makes it practically impossible to do the first 20 waves that are neccessary for the APs, many people don't even want to run it.

Please don't just brush it off and consider my suggestion, that's all I ask.

The fight for stormforce carries on! Lets get 'em in the Duneveil resource crates!

Hey, I see where you're going, but as you mentioned, event related weapons availability are revolving around those said events. Struggling in E dune is not stormforce weapon need, but rather badly balanced difficulty design overall. If they would make an exception for one thing, wouldn't people be asking for more?
Also, edune is passable even if none of members does have stormforce weapon. Just maxed out gear, fish oil elixirs and harrowcrite flasks on each party member.

-1000% ,Instead of re-releasing that storm weapon, it would be better to make it *Unbound* as soon as possible

trust the team work then, even without storm. 1-20 edg is way too overkill with 4x veil set user. I suggest keep playing more with your team, improve ur team tactics. We got bunch of new stuff like flask/yeti bomb they all working at bosses if u use it properly, if we talking about to bring back event exclusive stuff, we can ask for every other thing like event exclusive weap vanitys/vanitys etc, its same thing. And also, we got new veil weaps right now shield/staff/dagger they are incredibly op. u dont need to spend 2b for storm weaponary just get the new veil weaponary and chill.

people thought that sts along with elite dune maps will release new arcane items lvl 91, but in fact they made edg for stormforce wpn
arcanes lvl 91 release will probably be next season during halloween or later
that's why i think this is a good idea since the demand for stormforce is bigger than these weapons exist in circulation or are already all bound up

currently with the new edg we also have new aps, and in order to be able to stay in lb and make these aps stormforce wpn is essential
we know that people who make aps are not that many and most of them have their own team where almost every one of them has stormforce wpn
other people have problem finding pt or don't play edg at all for the same reason

that's why +1 for me

So no to new source of storm weapons, but yes to being able to trade already equipped ones that people willingly bounded to their characters? Ok buddy

Improve team tactics? Since when has this game become tactical? You just get the most recent over powered gear, spam procs and skills and switch between sets. Yeti bomb is useless because it deals no damage and doesn't freeze bosses, harrowcite flask is also useless against vylah because she has a timeframe of less than 2 seconds to be hit before she flies back up.

It's hard enough to fill a randon map let alone have a team of 4 well-geared players willing to spend their time in EDG, new veil weapons are also useless against vylah because like I mentioned earlier, she becomes invulnerable when she flies away.

Thanks for the interest! Yeah - these weapons are great. They are limited edition though - like all the others in the same event theme - so we shouldn't expect them to be treated any differently.

When we can un bind all the BoE sir

Will there be any weapons of similar power coming soon? Because Elite dune gauntlet feels very janky and inefficient without the storm weapons.

EDIT: Having Vylah still take DoT while she's in the air would resolve all the problems revolving that particular boss fight, the first three are a walk in a park but Vylah just makes the experience unsatisfactory.

EDIT 2 : It does feel like these particular weapons should be treated differently since they are BoE after all. Once you equip it, it is forever gone from the market. And right now there's basically no stormforce weapons left for open trade.

Meanwhile elemental set lvl 91 made a return after goblin event :v
Elite gaunt is already dead content, next dead content will be cursed duneveil

I get the "limited edition" thing, but these aren’t just skins - they’re straight up stronger than anything you can get right now. When the best gear is locked to a one-time event, it splits everyone into haves and have-nots and new or returning players have no way to catch up. That’s a balance problem, not just an exclusivity thing.

[Oldplayerreturn]

They make their living from imbalance lol, removed PvP AP like flags which people spent weeks on to leave completely P2W aps like 2b for badge title and 100 t7 evo pets, max slots

The game is perfect ur crying for no reason womp womp

That's so true, it wasn't a problem in the past because you could've always sold your gear. Now with BoE all we're left with is a horrible imbalance.

Bbro wrote a whole essay over ‘womp womp’ thanks for proving my point

I still honestly don't understand why we went from million of damage DoTs/ hits to billions of damage DoTs/ hits in a single expansion.

At this point, just wait for the Mythic Blade / Gun / Bow. Those should feature a strong multi-billion DoT that will finally make killing bosses reasonable and accessible again for everyone without needing Storm weaponry.

I completely agree with you, it's nonsensical from our perspective but makes perfect sense from their PoV, making the old, tradable gear useless therefore making us depend fully on BoE, which will ultimately make the economy healthier but if it stays like that in a long run, everything will colapse.

I hope you're right about the final set of mythic weapons dealing billions in DoT because running EDG with 8/8 dune set (with a chainsword) feels inefficient.

The power creep storm weapons introduce is insane. From the gameplay perspective, that is untenable. Nerfing its damage is the only viable solution. STS team knows that (after all, they nerfed starry not so long ago). Plenty of people have given the necessary feedback. Nothing has changed. Quality of gamedesign is not a priority. Game's community doesn't care either. Just look at the comments: such comedy gold as "iMpRoVe TeAm TaCtIcs" and "uSe FiSh oIls"... Obviously, there are those who can see that making the top weapon inaccessible in an mmo, which is all about gear progression, is an idiotic move. But, by and large, people simply can't be bothered to think this through.
Doubt that's any relief to anyone, but next year's Force weapons will probably be less broken. For now, let's assume this is just a ploy by sts to make the majority of the AL playerbase go touch grass in the summer...
