I hope the Artian Gimmick gets outclassed quickly.
I hate the artian thing so much. Not because of the grind or rolls, that's fine. I enjoyed the weapon and armor upgrading system in Rise for example. But it bothers me to no end that you just have to get the same weapon for virtually all weapon types.
They don't look specially good either, just dull having the same weapon for every single element and status for nearly all weapon types feels so boring. Specially since they haven't given us Layered Weapons yet.
I just hope with Title Updates they get outclassed quickly. And of course I hope they don't return at all in the DLC.
Edit: As an aside, the Layered Weapon system wont fix it. After thinking about it for a while its not only the visuals of the weapons that feel dull. Its just the fighting of the same monsters over and over to get the best parts to burn them all gambling to do it all again. If there were some variety to it (like in rise) it would feel so much better.
