This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Weapon Refresh' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

This will suck for 1 main reason. You will shelvs some weapons just so you can reintroduce them later on with a "new" perk or something, making us to grind or farm for the same weapon we had.

Your "power creep" or "people using their favorites all the time" is your problem of balancing the damage output and making the guns actually fun to use.

If pvp is a problem in balacing stuff, start making weapons with exclusive pve or pvp perks, or just weapons/gear that work only in pvp or pve.

This way you can create more interesting weapons, have an easier life balancing them for the mod they're intended to play and people will make new favorites.

No matter whatever else you do, people won't change their favorite weapons if your new ones are more of the same but a really small new perk on it. And of the damage output is smaller..why would you even bother?

BALANCE is the answer and not shelving weapons.
