Serious question: Do the devs plan to give Winmillion a 5 star upgrade at all? (Developer input requested)

I'm beginning to think "no."
Note that the Gunner Update added several completely new models and items, 90% of which are reskins of each other. The Winmillion is a single sword.
I would like to see a 5* Winmillion, too.
lol

Never.
Ya know it's balancing, the 4* is already godly. 5* would turn out more OP than Acherons, Blitzes and Hammers.
IMO the winmillion needs a nerf not an upgrade
In all seriousness, it probably will not happen in the near future or even far future.
And with the gunner update I think that was when they were still OOO and probably had more manpower to work on it. Keep in mind, the update was delayed by like a year.

I predict that it will get one along with a sword update.

Wqksayi what the hell are you saying, lmao. Anyway devs are just lazy, a 5* could exist without problems and without being unbalanced. Anything is possible if they want to.

Just imagine if they made a 5* winmillion that has the same mechanic as the overcharged mixmaster.
Awesome 0_0 right?
I think the 5* should just be a tiny bit more powerful but it should just focus on the looks because it looks a little bland.

How is the Winmillion OP? According to damage tables, it should deal less damage than an Ascended Calibur even if you hit all the projectiles with it. And, it has an absolute garbage charge attack that rarely hits anything, and gets canceled if you block too fast after.

I'm 99% sure people saying the Winmillion is OP is just a running gag given its weakness. Although I have heard of people running it with dmg bonus/asi max and it being "kind of decent"- still much weaker than most weapons in the game, but usable nonetheless.

The Cautery line got a 5* recently.
Winmillion has been at 4* ever since release.
In a probably-short amount of time, the devs were able to create NOT ONLY a full Cautery line (4* AND 5*), but also turn it into a chainsaw hybrid.
The Winmillion is officially less loved than the Cautery Sword.
I'm not pushing so hard on a 5*, I just want to see it's charge get reworked or patched, because it is pretty broken and inconsistent.
Clearly the projectile not firing at all is a bug, and I imagine being able to shoot the projectile in any direction rather than where you swung your charge isn't intended either.
Is it the only weapon that doesn't move you when you use your charge as well?
winmillion still better than them tortogun basic fire tho

Maybe now a dev might respond given that after this new update there has been a small amount of discussion between Grey Havens and the player base.
To GH: The winmillion is a really fun and good looking weapon. We would all like to see a 5* version that is strong.

In the years that players have been complaining about the lack of 5-star Winmillion, there have been many interactions between players and developers, none of which has produced a 5-star Winmillion.
Personally I would rather have new levels, monsters, etc. But new weapon styles are also fun.
I'm beginning to think "no."
Really? You're just beginning to think that? :)
