People hated the RNG in D1 and the weapon rolls introduced several problems as well. Many pointless perks just to fill RNG generator, so you most of the time ended up with NOT getting what you wanted in the first place. In D2 the weapons have an "identity" and Trials and Raid themed guns even have a unique perk which are really useful and fun (slide to reload for Trials guns/increased mag size for rapid kills for the Raid weapons). If people think this is a problem then it was a problem in D1 as well because you auto deleted every gun for two reasons: a) it didn't had that specific god roll b) you sharded the gun because you already have the god roll I'm pleased with the current system and so far I haven't seen a single pointless or nonsense perk on the guns (like exhumed). I would love to see more mods for the energy and kinetic weapons though because this would make everything a bit more interesting and personal.

When shit rarely drops anyway this is a terrible idea. Rng to get weapon then rng 3 more times to get the right perks. I hated that shit so much

I get the part about removing levelling up guns takes away some of the fun of D1 but honestly I think having two primary slots and not being able to infuse all primaries into all primaries is ruining it more than the RNG rolls. The least they could do it let you infuse all kinetics into kinetics, etc. I just want to infuse my shitty exotic pistol into an autorifle or submachine gun but nooooooooo

Nah, see, you're eating your memberberries. Never once, throughout all of Destiny 1 did I see a post or hear a person say, "Man, I sure do love getting awesome guns with garbage perks." I understand not being satisfied with the [i]new[/i] system but I don't agree that the answer is to go in reverse..

Honestly I don't mind static gun rolls. It evens the playing field a bit for most people but the thing that irks me is static armor rolls. Why. WHY was it necessary to make it to where armor has set perks that are unchangeable when the LOOK of the armor is why most people use it? As someone who mains a hunter it's especially painful because MOBILITY. IS. UNAVOIDABLE. I don't want mobility on my armor plain and simple. It doesn't make any noticeable difference and I'd rather have more recovery and resilience, but no. I dont get the option. Why shouldnt i be able to use the stats i want on a certain armor piece?? Why am i forced into having 4 to 5 mobility no matter what of my favorite looks i use and it wouldnt be such an issue except, with 4 to 5 if it im limited to having either recovery. Resilience. Or a balance of the 3 (5 Mob, 5 Res, 5 Recov) that gives me NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER. I don't get the choice because of how much they limited customization in this game. And it's not only the armor and weapons Oh no. The subclasses suffered greatly too. Not only were most of the perks "streamlined" into 2 trees that most of the time pair up perks you want with others you don't. But. We're limited to one of 2 choices. It's absolutely pathetic how bare minimum the freaking customization is in D2 and honestly I want intellect, discipline, and strength back along with my d1 perk trees that I can actually CUSTOMIZE. Honestly I don't see how luke smith thought some of these decisions were good for this game at all. It's almost like he wants us all to just be forced into using the crap we hate and never used because of that fact. -rant over.

I remember when everyone was blowing through motes of light to get shot package on shotguns and concentrated fire on autos with mid impact and medium rate of fire. those were the days.

Not having static rolls certainly would've kept me playing longer, but it wouldn't have made it any more enjoyable for existing. My whole thing was before D2 released that if this was the road they were planning to take then there should've been 200 times more pieces of gear to find to facilitate a level of progression that random loot rolls used to provide. I would argue now we ended up with less gear, and zero reason to farm for anything once we found what we prefer to use, or in the case of [i]this[/i] community what THEY think we should be using at all times. Really don't see how this has helped us.

How many times did you bitch about the grind of not getting the god roll you were looking for in Destiny 1??

That's why Destiny is bs and Warframe rules. Warframe has weapons you train and who have mod slots you can fill with mods that come in different qualities and tons of variability. You can fuse mods to make them higher quality or sell the trash you don't need or give them to your clan members who are just starting. You can order and search your mods! Destinys "glorious new" mod system is a bad joke compared to that. Warframe is soooo much better, it boggles the mind. Destiny has fancy graphics, interesting raids and nice enemy models, but the game is still trash. I should have bought a Prime Warframe instead of this bs.

Killing? Destroyed it. That and the changes to crucible were awful and completely idiotic.

We should be able to build perks as mods for the weapon. A "kinetic" mod isn't a mod... it's the ammunition used. Going into vanilla D1, I had thought that we really would have been able to craft our weapons. Was let down, but accepted the random rolls on the weapons. Now, I feel that once you run the raid a few times, you're already tired of the exploring world's, and PvP becomes stale... it's hard to keep interested because there isn't much weapon variety to spice things up. Different weapon builds on the same frame can have very different feelings. Many of the D2 weapons I find worthless. Only a handful are worth using, and almost everyone is using the same ones. 98% of people use the same weapon, is not because that one is amazing, it's because the rest aren't good enough and can't be made better with different rolls.
