I'd like to start off with the fact that I used search and couldn't find this idea out there, so I'm making this new thread. All searches for topics on the /bonus weapons as suggestions were making it possible to get only the ones you want. That is not what this idea is.

What I propose is that the weapons gained from typing /bonus act like the BMP weapons. Come clean and inscribable, also salvageable. My reasoning for this is because the mods on some of these just plain suck, while the skin is really nice.

I think this would be an improvement for the /bonus weapons and I cannot see any downsides.

The reason why I say to remove the mods, would be to prevent people from typing /bonus then just salvaging the mods. Removing the mods on the weapon would be the way to prevent "abuse" of the weapons' mods. And, making them inscribable only makes sense to me honestly.

Edit: To have both people who want the mods for heroes/pre characters and those who like the skin but not the mods, the proposition is changed to adding a /bonusnew command which spawns the /bonus weapons, but clean and inscribable. That way those who want the mods for pre can still have them. *Thanks to MithranArkanere for the idea*

Comments, suggestions, agreements and disagreements*with why you disagree* are all welcomed. (Unconstructive) Flames and Trolls, are not.

As long as the salvaged mods are deleted on salvage . Otherwise you would get free mods .

Read a bit more carefully. I said the mods would be removed if they become salvageable, to prevent salvaging those mods.

I dislike the idea (sorry XD) : the only reason I use the bonus stuff is because they have half decent mods (Hourglass Staff etc) and I can generate it for any temporary not used much Hero.

I love the glacial but the Icy and 15/E mod annoys me too much.

And with the removal of the mods, you can use those skins with any mods you want, so then YOU can use them and not just put them on Heroes you hardly ever use.

Personally, I think the glacial blade should act like an IDS or FDS with the Icy mod, but it should be inscribable so that we can change that.

You may have said this, in which case I missed the point, but hey it's late and it's been a long day

Rather than remove the mod and script just make them so they can be modded over without salling. That way if you just want it as is then no problem, if you want to swap it then just add the new mod and again nothing lost. I do agree with the fact that it is very annoying to not be given that choice, even if they are free.

A lot of the bonus weapons have very nice skins, but are unusable due to their mods. Simply allowing us to overwrite the ones that are already there would be fine, no salvaging necessary.

As long as they come clean, customized and unsalvageable (no mats), I'd totally be for this.

Could finally get rid of my storage full of inscriptions lol

That is the short form of what I was saying actually.

I believe he's saying he can generate a "decent" weapon instantly for some random hero by typing in /bonus, and by making these weapons modless, he will have to mod them in order to get a decent weapon.

IMO just make the item unsalvageable and the mods/inscriptions replaceable.

I really want my glacial blade to be usable in more than just one or two missions - and only then because I don't have any other option. I'm fond of the bow skins and the daggers as well, but once again the stats really aren't great :S

Intead of chaning the /bonus command, a new /bonusnew or /bonusraw or something like that could be made to do so.

That way people would have both.

Hmmm, that would actually work out better. People who want the mods can type /bonus and those who want them clean can type /bonusnew. I'll update the OP to fit this idea.

Of course /signed, but I also would like to have a list of the available bonus items for my account pop up so I can choose which items to spawn. Its a real hassle to free your inventory each time u type /bonus
