Except that PB's games have always worked that way in regards to using a better weapon.
I do agree that the stat increases are high, but I assume that's because PB wanted to limit the amount of upgrades on any given weapon. It would be sort of reduntant to have a War Bow VII for example.
The unintuitiveness is certainly valid though. I complained about that from the very beginning.
I honestly don’t remember using crafting stations to upgrade weapons in other PB games. I mean, an upgrade is not a new weapon in my mind. It’s just a little bit better which would be quite useful in Elex in the beginning stages.
I think it would be much better with limited upgrades that actually helped instead of being an optional way of getting to wait for it. By the time you have the stats required, chances are you’ve already found a similarly powerful weapon elsewhere, rendering the system close to redundant.
To each his own, though.
