Title : Dream Weapons
----------------------------------------
This has really been a long time coming. I know it will likely upset many
people but in the end it will be a healthy move for the game. A week from
today on February 10th, 2023 the special effects of the dream weapons will
be removed from the game. They will still function as normal for any
auxiliary features for which they had - quests and what not - but for
player they will no longer be the unrivaled best option available.

This change is being made for several reasons. First, the weapons have
almost always been completely out of QC guidelins, making them an
absolute nightmare to account for when balancing any class that is able to
use them. Second, FOMO and gear acquisition anxiety. As they are both
unique, and some of them time limited there's a lot of room for anxiety
regarding not being able to partake in the use of them, especially given
the relative length of boots nowadays. Third is that since they are
legitimately better than 99% of other weapons in almost every situation
this will open up the floor for more interesting choices/options.

I'm announcing this ahead of time because again, I know many people will
be upset by this and I wanted to give them time to utilize them in one
final hurrah. Please direct all hatemail to Darkpoole - just kidding,
direct it to me.
