WHEN IT FEEL LIKE IT.

It's there as a placeolder until someone thinks something.

OOO likes to tease us. Ask about tortodrone or watch any official trailer filled with unreleased stuff.

forum tip: OOO doesn't like to give release dates for stuff. You want an answer like "They WILL be out on December 31st at 10am" or something like that, but it's not going to happen.

@Bluebrawlerneo Good answer

@Everyone Could the lab be where we can Combine 2 Weapons in one? ;)

"10,000 different combinations"

Personally I think Polaris+Gran Faust would be OP.

You mean no fuseing two bombs? Aw, there goes my Nitrotempest. Once again bombers get screwed over.

Seriously Erri, it's not funny It's not even trolling. Stop it already.

All you're doing is going around in other people's threads and apparently making comments on other people's comments or trying to point out faults in whatever.

Not cool, not funny, but seriously annoying already.

Combining weapons would involve a lot of rules and a lot of complicated situations. Among those rules are only being allowed to combine weapons of the same type, how to deal with different sets of UVs on the combined weapons, and what happens if you combine 4*- items whether they will have their own alchemy line. Among those complicated situations are the bastard child weapons spawned by combinations like Blitz + Sentenza/Peacemaker, two different Vaporizers, a Flourish combined with a Sealed, and if expansion exclusive weapons can be used to combine whether the bastard child will be tradable when at least one of its parents were not.

It would be significantly easier to make new weapons instead. Not like more gameplay relevant content is expected anytime soon, aside from the occasional prestige mission and the constant cosmetic updates. New weapons? Silly. Any kind of new equipment which is not cosmetic? Preposterous. Unless they have something going on behind closed and locked doors to make naysayers like me slap ourselves sillier than we already are from the impatience after several months of short lived updates.

You know what I hope it turns out to be? Lab? Whatever the liquids it is. I hope it turns out to be a sandbox mode of the Clockworks where you can spawn whatever enemies in, practice against them with whatever equipment you want, and be better prepared for the Clockworks. Or something where you take materials and build stuff. Like some furniture for your guild hall. But you can only get that special furniture by crafting it with a butt-clenchingly high amount of materials. Not just boss specific token materials or only high rated materials, all kinds of materials can be used for different things. Materials being sinked means raised value meaning sells higher means newer players can sell the materials they get instead of squatting around town trying to throw them at people and wealthier players have something to use their thousands of materials on while their copious amount of crowns trickles down to newbies who still need to buy recipes and pay for crafting. Not that anyone is reading this. Just that guy ranting about something again. Everyone go back to smashing their faces on sword charge attacks and Pulsar spamming until their eyeballs grow spider legs and crawl into their nostrils then ooze out their mouth as their lower jaw hangs open and their teeth perform an orchestra of belches. This is all perfectly sensible.

"@hexzyle Some people in this thread seem to like the "stupid" idea.
Besides I don't see any other people hating the idea, (yet) (besides you)"

And me. It was suggested a while back, and in terms of SK, frankly, is stupid, in terms of the mechanics, design and offensive abilities of each weapon.

Not to mention the year or three it would take the developers to come up with design, mechanics, attack power, names, and different combinations for such a feature alone.

So much complexity for something which as Lug put: "It would be significantly easier to make new weapons instead."

"Not to mention the year or three it would take the developers to come up with design, mechanics, attack power, names, and different combinations for such a feature alone."
Good point.

Say for the point of this there are eight 5* weapons of each class. Being only able to combine same-class weapons means that the amount of combinations is still 3*(8^2).

That's 192 new weapons to implement and balance.

Flourish first swing
Rocket hammer dash
Gran Faust last swing
Voltedge charge
Shadow damage
= OPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOPOP

Voltbuster. Sounds good to me.

Forget that. I'm gonna get me a piercing AP with a Blitz charge, or an Elemental BAB with the walk speed and range of a Nitro and the Shock chance of the VT with the Shock magnitude of the SSB!

Or the Quadblitz.
