Specifically, it seems like they’re moving to new ways of overcapping stats, through upgrades to the cap rather than via notability grind. Looks like PP might still require getting all stats to 15 (one at a time) and switching specializations, but that’ll be doable without having to grind Notability to 15 to overcap, significantly changing the grind.
At least, that’s what it looks like to me so far.
