We’ll have to burn down all our loadouts, nuke overframe.gg and re-forma 50+ frames. Fun!

As someone who already really enjoyed cold status this is an absolute win.

I’m really curious to see how this will end up feeling.

And slightly worried about the amount of Forma I might need to adapt all my stuff.

Really don’t like the looks of this, mainly because it doesn’t seem like DE really understands just how many statuses are useless. Like, no changes to Puncture or Impact? Any change to Magnetic is pointless because Toxin will just cut through the shields? and I would say Current SP Grineer should be the baseline tankiness for all SP enemies, instead they’re massively nerfing Grineer HP and then they’ll slightly buff survivability on the Corpus in a way that still won’t matter against Toxin.

Simplification of a system that’s really only complex fo the sake of complexity is a good and noble goal, but the answer can’t just be “massively nerf the survivability of enemies,” because enemies are already complete chaff. The article doesn’t even address Infested though, so maybe they’re still evaluating things.

The streamlining of damage types against factions is a fantastic change, it was always a confusing mess with some enemies using health types from other factions. Armor changes are much needed as well, Grineer are the one outlier faction that pretty much requires you to bring some form of armor strip or bypass in order to face them once you get past a certain level. Making 100% armor strip no longer a necessity while evening the playing field with other factions is great.

The one thing I would really like to see is an easy way to switch weapons load-out from the mission select screen, or if I’m allowed to dream a little, ability to assign a load-out to be automatically used whenever you’re fighting a certain faction. That would actually get me to finally start using the Bane mods!
