what ever happened to creating [cold] weapons?

I saw a pic and figured it was for the winter event. I haven't heard anything more of it. Anyone?

Don't think it was meant to be accessible...yet. Or at all. Just something that leaked by accident.

There was a Dev post that stated it was a failed development that couldn't be implemented due to UI and other conflict, and that it was a mistake that it made it into the R&D menus. Even then, it could never be made because the 'Special Winter Event' R&D materials required were never released into the game...

Edit: Ah Ha, found the post...

Oops.

These are an internal prototype that was supposed to be locked away from players' view. Originally brainstormed as a possible reward from the upcoming Winter Event, they've since been cut due to some technical and UI limitations.

But, I guess the cat's outta the bag here - Yes, we're interested in creating new R&D Recipes as rewards for special events. This was our first attempt, but should not have appeared on our Live Servers in any fashion.

They should not be craftable, regardless of your skill, because they require a Recipe component that cannot be obtained.
