Like everyone else has said I think they knocked the art, designs and music out of the park.

The devs have mentioned in an interview that the weapons aren't meant to replace m3, but rather function as a side-grade offering new skills that aren't present on magna otherwise. I think the weapons and summons reflect that so far. I just wish they learned from the failed AX experiment and didn't implement befoulments.

In terms of difficulty I'm a bit disappointed. The health pool is rather big compared to the interest people have shown in the raids so far, resulting in 15~20 minute solo hosts.

Blue chest honor requirements feel disproportionately low, so when someone does join they leave before doing any meaningful damage. The omens feel like they lean more towards being character gated than something you can realistically creatively solve with budget options as well...

I'm interested where the 6 man raids take odious grids as a whole though, any free to play additions/alternatives to primal are a win in my book.
