Yeah same. The vibe of that post makes it feel like reforges won't be a thing anymore, but they obviously didn't outright say that either. I got a few weapons left to get to 10 reforges. I'll still work to get them all to 10 before the update just because I wouldn't want to miss out if you get to keep those boosts as a legacy reward or something. FOMO and all that 😅
Hopefully the next update posts will shed more light about that.
These boosts will still be available in the new system. While we will no longer be reforging weapons, people will keep their current reforge score, and will still be able to advance their reforge score (both for numbers go up, and for unlocking those boosts). Jordan has more details on how reforge will increase, we're still settling on an exact mechanic, but likely tied to either mastery, or hitting progression thresholds on these and other new weapons as we release them.
