I really liked the idea of these mods at first, but after seeing a whole bunch of them, I'm on the fence.

I'm not sure about how I feel about the addition of "prefix-core-suffix" modifications to Warframe; they just seem out of place, appearing in only one small segment of the game (whereas games like PoE or Diablo are arguably built around it).

I'm wondering what this means for the ongoing dialogue and debate about the Damage 3.0 topic, where many have been lamenting the existence of attributes like base damage and multishot appearing on mods at all.

This has just introduced the most massive and intimidatingly endless gambling mechanic the game has ever seen. Farming rare drops is essentially gambling with time, but once you obtain it, you obtain it. Transmutation uses currency, but there is a tangible endpoint there. Here, you gamble on drop, gamble on weapon roll, gamble on affixes, and gamble effect magnitudes. Very compulsive players are going to need to be careful. I would imagine that we will be seeing mods with extremely good rolls selling for disturbing amounts of currency, probably more than people offer to pay for Primed Chamber now.

Some of the ones people have posted here in the comments are heinously overpowered. Like this guy: I got Sybaris Visi-acricron. Here's the fully ranked description. +141.3% Critical chance +117.6% Critical damage +164.1% Damage -35.2% Damage to Grineer Having damage, crit chance, and crit damage all on one mod, and with numbers equal to or far better than the mods that normally apply the effects alone doesn't really make sense to me. Even just having an extra +161.4% damage is by itself, eye-opening.

Just my thoughts... I'm still not really against them, per se, though, and I understand that they are brand-new and essentially beta status.

While the idea of 'total randomness' for item stats kind of scares me, there's no denying that the introduction of something to disrupt the current state of modding is very exciting.

Very interesting
