Thousands of hours put into service, Thousands of dollars too likely. Just for it to culminate into this tragedy of an update.

Right off the bat, before I even sign into the game I find that DE went through their their awful balancing changes and made it even worse than I speculated. And on top of that to start the quest you get slapped in the face with a trigger warning.

What the ♥♥♥♥ has DE come to? Pandering, Mediocre story writing, Horrible workshop changes.
DE fails to address the main issues with the Status meta and instead decided to sweep it under the rug by removing all the enemy material effects and replacing all weaknesses is 2 per faction. On top of this, they reversed the weakness of Grineer and corpus, corpus are weak to puncture now and Grineer to impact.

I'm not alone here either and I'm not going to be quiet about it. I've been playing the game since october of 2013 with most of my time being put in between 2015-2021

There was no reason to make these changes, it completely ruins the flow of the game now and it's only being done to satisfy new players joining the game who don't want to learn what enemy damage compositions are. Now everything is set to two weaknesses and you can just completely ignore it. They didn't fix anything with the viral slash meta, they completely circumvented it by making everything effective on NPCs. On top of this, they nuked armor for everything, steel path went from sponge path to Origin system 2.0. Armor stripping isn't viable anymore, you can just completely ignore doing it.

Onto the quest update. Potential spoilers:
God, where do I even begin with this ♥♥♥♥?
The writing is just, terrible. It's trite, bland and sounds like some script Sweet Baby inc would put together.
Hunhow was the only dialogue in this that was tollerable. And speaking of horrible storyboarding and character design, I cannot stand the new characters DE is putting out. They're all so annoying, Fish is a prime example, no insult to the VA, the writing and dialogue is so irritating. And Ordis; He was annoying before, now he wont ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shut up for 2 minutes constantly repeating dialogue ive heard thousands of times. Sure I can mute him but it still makes his dialogue box constantly pop up and he just whines about being muted.
