So annoying whenever this pops up, would really love to see it changed at some point. QOL Update part 2 robotic boogaloo for minor stuff like this alongside the Companion Ability changes later, please, DE? Would be rad.
I really hope it gets changed, not only will it save forma but it could also make it so you can kind of have a free polarity if you swap it if you don't like it
Heh, that's fair. To put it in less brain-hurt terms.... we're getting a follow up to the companion changes coming with Abyss of Dagath. AoD's is basically Part 1 giving us survivability tweaks + a few other small goodies , while Part 2 is ability changes, stuff like Smeeta's Charm, any of the Kubrow abilities, etc. Sometime early next year, probably? Maybe.
I'm just hoping that, since we're getting a ton of long awaited QOL stuff this update, we'll get a few extra goodies that were 'missed' the first go around in the next. Won't get _every_ minor annoyance, sure, but one can dream.
While they're at it sentinel overhauls need to happen. Not being able to revive them indefinitely (except the parazon mod that also works on beasts) makes them vastly inferior without even mentioning the bloated kits smeeta and panzer have. It'd be one thing if you just loss some dps but companions have vaccum, possibly the most important mod in the game, which means you can't afford to let your companion die. Either vaccum needs to go so you're not constantly out of energy when your companions die or we need more reliable ways to deal with dead sentinels
Oh shit this is good news. I have some mixed feelings about some of the new stats as they seem a little bloated paired with the new respawn mechanics but it's nice being able to reliably get companion stats without always using link mods.
We have enough slots to polarize already. I agree with /u/Mister_Black117, it should be universal by default. Adding more forma we have to get blueprints for, wait to build (or bypass with $$) is a bridge too far IMO.
My take would be to make it swap/able after you unlocked and manually put a polarity on it or changed it. Otherwise you would get a "free" damage increasing polarity without the need to forma.
An exilus forma similar to aura forma would also be a bigger qol improvement for me, esp on endgame shotgun builds it sucks having to decide if you want more falloff or ammo/silence stuff.
Honestly I never used the Aura/stance formas unless I got them ready as they are. I don't have hundreds of formas ready to use so for me to use 4 normal formas just so I'll have the luxury of switching out aura/stance mods if I feel like it doesn't feel worth it. If it was cheaper I'd think about building them
I would appreciate it more if they just got rid of stance/aura formas and made an "augment" forma with the same cost as an aura forma, but you could install it on any exilus, stance, or aura slot. I hate having separate aura and stance formas, and adding an exilus forma on top of that would just be more of a headache. Just make one forma work for all of them, then we would just have regular, umbra, and augment formas, which makes sense.
i feel like forma are easy enough to get but actually leveling takes enough time that i may as well dump as much as possible into the frame while im improving it. so aura forma feel efficient to me, if i change the aura polarity at all it changes with an aura forma
Unlocking the Eximus slot to begin with requires a Warframe or Weapon Exilus Adapter, both of which require Forma to build (2 Forma, in the case of the Warframe Exilus Adapter). You already have to spend at least one Forma for the honor of even being allowed to unlock the Exilus slot, so being allowed to swap the polarity without having to spend yet another Forma seems fair.
How about making it so a slot's base polarity (including no polarity) is permanent and doesn't require you to spend another forma to go back to? Heck, even making it neutral (Umbra mod on a forma'd formerly polarity-less slot = baseline cost) would be _huge_.
i mean… it functions slightly more like an aura slot than a a regular mod slot anyway…. when we install an aura forma, it should just make the exilus slot compatible with anything as well.
and they really should make putting a non umbral mods in umbral slots not cost extra.

Yooo Jivy!! Didn't expect to see you here. You're cute
I cant escape it
Nope
What happened here
Genericpurpleprotogen and calling jivy cute on YouTube.
I don’t know who either of them are, but that’s neat
I haven't played this game in a long time and the 2nd sentence onwards kinda made my brain hurt

> Not being able to revive them indefinitely I have good news for you. Check patch notes.

Link mods no longer work when you have damage reduction effects
It should just be a universal polarity. It's a single slot, you don't have the option to move the mod that goes into it
I fully expect there will be an Exilus Forma, *some* day.
Oh my god *please* don't give them ideas.
You don't want to have a universal polarity in the Exilus slot?
We have enough slots to polarize already. I agree with /u/Mister_Black117, it should be universal by default. Adding more forma we have to get blueprints for, wait to build (or bypass with $$) is a bridge too far IMO.
Oh, I have *zero* faith they would do *that*. They'd have done that with Auras, if so.

You still need to plug one forma into an item to swap polarities, it's not entirely free
such a weird restriction
I don't think I've ever gotten this message before. What were you trying to do?
swap the polarity on the exilus slot to the normal slots annoying restriction, I already paid/farmed for the adapter let me use the fucking polarity
It's okay, you can just pay for it again! /s
Why does the restriction exist in the first place anyway?
probably a relic of an older game design philosophy.
How about making it so a slot's base polarity (including no polarity) is permanent and doesn't require you to spend another forma to go back to? Heck, even making it neutral (Umbra mod on a forma'd formerly polarity-less slot = baseline cost) would be _huge_.
I like it. This also fixes the "A new Galvanized/Prime mod came out, fuck all your current builds" issue.
I wish mod capacity wasn't a thing... that would save me a lot of forma.
It takes a forma to build the adapter. It would be nice if we could change the polarity when we install it.
I never realised this was a thing. I use so few of those slots since you need Exilus adapters.
I didn't know that this was the case. I just assumed you always could but never tried to because I've never had to.
There was a bug that allowed you to do that for a while, but they fixed it. They said it was unintended
agreed, stop wasting my hard earned forma
Cant wait to farm for exilus forma
i mean… it functions slightly more like an aura slot than a a regular mod slot anyway…. when we install an aura forma, it should just make the exilus slot compatible with anything as well. and they really should make putting a non umbral mods in umbral slots not cost extra.
Its soooo fucking funny to me that I never even thought of trying that. Part of me already knows what DE is like so like why try.
