Rank up 2.0

[(XBOX)XGN DrFeelGood]

With the Paracesis it is a one of a kind mechanic to push a weapon into rank 40 and with ideas from both ends it is possible to put the weapons into an rank up pattern just like the Warframes. Damage and the other stats across the board can be improved and adding Forma to each item would add up to 10 extra ranks. The incriminating of stat increases can fill in for the yearly up scaling of content. By testing and applying a working version of this mechanic then power creep, mod space, and the meta for each piece of content can be more exciting.

The 5-forma gimmick to the Paracesis was widely criticized and denounced as a pointlessly gimmicky way of forcing players to sink even more time and resources into needless grinding. Very few players out there want to have to sink 5 Forma into every new frame or weapon, let alone every existing one, just to get all of the Mastery out of each item, particularly since relatively few items right now need more than 3 Forma to do well (melee weapons in particular tend to only need 1 or 2 Forma). I personally find that the mechanic adds no new gameplay whatsoever, and while it's fine to have it on one very specific, plot-sensitive weapon (we're clearly meant to put 5 Forma into it to accommodate the Sacrificial mods, in preparation for The New War), I absolutely would not want this to become a general thing.
