Ironically there would have been no issue at all if they had just added them as an RTC pack ingame for the value of 10€ each. They would have still made a healthy cut from us veterans.
Not going to rumage through the whole thread to see if someone already responded, but you can see the weapons here (from the Steam store):
Tagging him won't do anything. He's laughing at us. Only way to get his attention is if we stall them financial. Meaning stopping there income, spreading the word for people not to buy anything. Though a lot of people don't buy anything anyway which is why they have moved to f2p.
As a defense for the devs here, I asked the same two weeks or so ago and said they should do with them what they did with Ork weapons: detect subfaction and look accordingly. And the LSM Chainsword (don't ask me why only this one; maybe for test purposes? damned if I know) detects subfaction now. It still looks battered, since only the color was changed, but that removed imo the worst part of it. Proof that they are listening, even though the extent of the reaction remains debatable at the moment, we will have to see what the future brings there. Thank you for listening, @Oveur, but please do not stop the treatment of those weapons where they are now. Remake them all and make them look awesome. Also why the complaints? Those silver weapons are reskins of other weapons. Take the old one, accidentaly drop a bucket of silverish paint, done. We old players don't miss the world when we don't buy them. I personally prefer the weapons they are based on. And we got enough RTC to buy them all, and some are even from supply boxes (aka easy to obtain).
Am I the only one that likes the relic weapons for their looks? If it were the other way round and we got the shiny stuff instead of the rustic, I'd be a sad nurgling. I wish they were a bit more decent stats wise though to be worthy of showing off in game. Also lets not forget the "Something more which will be really nice." we have coming soon to us as well.
I would have appreciated alot alot more if we had got some nice cosmetics insread of a giftable premium game key ... Well the "gift" we got is in a sense business for bhvr and not a gift.. I mean we got loved for sticking here for years ( I am here atleast 2 years or 2.5 or even more ) good going bhvr ...
I thought the free premium key for one of our friends was that already? As to some other poster saying "jeez its only skins i like the standard weapons too so i dont mind": Let me guess you do not mind it either if you go to your favourite restaurant and fries are cold the exspesnive wine you ordered (and paid) gets delivered late and as a coke light instead? Neither would you feel cheated or envious if despite you going to that restaurant for years the new guy gets the exspensive wine even on the house because its his first visit. Afterall it's still fries and you like coke light too.
