Feedback Sadly disappointed by vaults (so far)

    The whole vault thing was a pretty neat addition and it was fun exploring my first vault, but after I defeated the guardian (which was an appropriately epic but unsuitably LONG fight) I got to run up to the weapon upgrade anvil... and then find out that my legendary space saber couldn't be upgraded with it!

    It turns out that tier 6 unique weapons cannot be upgraded with the anvil, which I find sadly disappointing. I thought, going in, that the anvil would upgrade any and all special weapons to tier 7 or something of that nature. It would be appropriate for the effort we have to put into it.

    I'm sure it was a lot of effort and I'm sad to say I'm disappointed by it, but at the very least it's groundworks for some more interesting content. I hope Chucklefish expands upon the vaults and uses a similar system for additional unique quest dungeons. You know, might as well stop beating around the bush: where's our multi-planet spanning quests? With procedural space stations, which we can jump to which would house suitably epic boss fights. Hopefully, something like that gives the game more story value post-campaign.

    I personally enjoy vaults more than i expected, it develops the game's potential for combat and parkour and I have fun using different weapons. They kinda remind me diablo3 grifts (same purple orbs lol). I'm happy with the weapons i get, but i would love an upgraded violium sword.

    The thing is that, by themselves, the vaults are slightly disappointing. They set up a fantastic groundwork for future content, but I was hoping for a substantial enough reward for me to say "alright, my next goal is to raid a vault." Not being able to upgrade my tier 6 unique weapons was a huge letdown. Frankly it would be good to put a gold star on any weapon found in the wild, but especially improve the special weapons. I use a sword/shotgun combo, but I prefer my ice shotgun to the doomcannon. Has a lot more punch to it. If I could put a gold star on that it but then find a weapon that could potentially be better when upgraded, it would more than fully justify vaults.
