Showcases Likely Aren't Working

[TinyTobias]

Hello @Harlems369th

Just dying to get some clarity here. Can someone please explain why we are magically able to upgrade the lines of "locked" war showcase artifacts during an active war, when for years we have been told that nothing, and I mean nothing, can be changed once a war begins because all benefits are supposedly locked in? So, what gives? The only explanation I can come up with is that these showcase artifacts either aren’t actually equipped (despite what the UI likes to pretend), or they’re not even remotely tied to the war code and therefore don’t do anything at all. Which is it? Can’t wait to hear how this one gets explained away.

Thanks.

Like Manufactory Munitions, when you head into a war the game takes a snapshot at the close of planning day. During that war those benefits are not changed until it is finished. But you can still upgrade and manipulate those showcase benefits to prepare for the next war. Your War Hall still functions the same as it did before however.

Very curious to why the developers decided to do this aspect of the museum completely opposite from the rest. Would love to have one of them elaborate on this a little more for us and maybe provide some proof so players actually have faith that the legendaries they spent money on are actually being put to use.

If that works, then it's a QoL feature, because we don't have to wait 24 hours to continue upgrading artifacts.

If you touch the museum again, e.g. to improve loadouts and crafting, it would be great if you could convert the entire museum to snapshot mode.

Is it really so difficult, from a technical and coding point of view, to understand this topic? For m, it is obviously what’s in place technically. This question is more for a coding forum.

This would certainly be the hope! Especially for getting some QoL content later this year and into early next.
