Almost all weapon exilus slots need to have their alignment removed.

[(PSN)Black-Cat-Jinx]

I've gone through most of the weapons. The alignments are more than not set to something that specifically would NOT aid the weapon and there for forces you to have to wast a forma just to get the trash alignment off the weapon. I know these weren't picked at random as to what weapon would have what polarization, and it honestly looks like you deliberately chose the exact opposite polarization on most weapons for anything people would use. At the very least you could at least have set all of them to the - polarity so they could use supress which is at-least something that could mechanically benefit almost all weapons for stealth gameplay assuming you sank enough forma into it. 

Okay, lets look at the pandaero. What could it benefit fro,? Steady hands.  Which is a - slot. What does it get? A V slot. What's v? Lets see. Lethal momentum? No, that doesn't help this weapon at all. Strafing slide? Seriously, who uses that in the first place. Maybe targeting subsystem but this game is a little weird about how it defines accuracy. So the only V polarity that benefits this weapon at all is "spry sights".... which.... doesn't really do much. 

Then we have weapons like say Balistical prime. Here's a mostly silent weapon that doesn't benefit from eject magazine, steady hands, reflex draw, ammo mutation, trick mag, or supress.... But  being a weapon that has TRAVEL TIME it would benefit greatly from lethal momentum. But you can't build a functioning weapon and have enough capacity left over to put a misaligned V over a -, while you could potentially add another forma and have enough to put on the exilus slot if it were /blank/.

There isn't a chance you just picked random alignments for these things. It's just a wrong headed effort to make you waste EVEN MORE forma. Either set the default alignments to something that makes sense or just remove the default polarities. It's bad enough you make people wait a day for a froma to build when it should be closer to an hour. Either cut back on forma build times by 80% or stop inserting nuisance polarities.

I noticed this too... You hit the nail on the head.

Sadly I think it's too late to fix this, since players did already spend adaptors and formas on this.. but yeah, the exiluses should have had a blank polarity from the start imho.

90% of weapons have a V slot, and 90% of the exilus mods are -. Do you think it's a coincidence? It's meant to make you spend an extra forma.

They should just let us pick a polarity when we use a weapon exilus. Same for the normal exilus. It already costs a Forma to build so we may as well get that functionality especially since the amount of forma we need has skyrocketed in the last year.

So refund them. DE's done it before, many times.

The trolly problem is flawed for many reasons but in this specific case, this one argument has been used to defend so much in legitimately awful game design. Companies like Bungie, EA, Activision,  and DE should literally use it as their company logo.

(As opposed to blizzard who should use Winnie the Pooh for their company logo)

Also i really wish they would make the reload mods into exilus.... Yes it would effect the dps which they wanted to avoid but there are some weapons which it would seriously help... Honestly we have mods that only can be slotted on certain weapons, would it really hurt to have what is considered exilus be based on the weapon?  Or... At least put all (all) augments as exilus, including things like fulmination?
