Well then you need to play for another week or so. ALL THE GUNS ARE THE SAME. There is no grind. Once you do your weekly flashpoint and nightfall there is nothing to do except raid and grind a few challenges for higher light guns i.e.patrol. Raiding takes creating a coordinated team of 6 so most time is spent...doing nothing. People just troll around in patrol or strikes until they get bored of not getting anything but the same rolls on the same guns and quit.

  • [quote] There is no grind.[/quote] You say that like it's a bad thing. The solution should not be to return to the old grind. It was a flawed system that was all about padding out the game as much as possible without actually adding any depth to it. The. Current system has something that random rolls never did, and that's room for depth. Mods can be expanded, each individual weapon can be special on it's own merits, and overall it can be easier to balance and more straightforward to achieve than random rolls ever could. It's not a matter of playing more or less. I've played enough of D1 to know that D2 has it better. They are lacking a lot of good designed grind, but they god rid of most of the terribly designed grind. The solution should not be to just pad out the game, but to actually have it grow in depth.

  • It IS a bad thing. I love how all youguys say the same thing "it'll get better" "the mods will expand" "they'll add more guns" "they'll give us what we want LATER". Idiocy. We had more, we had better. They took all the reason for playing and crapped on it.

We had more, we had better. They took all the reason for playing and crapped on it.[/quote] It already is better. There are good grinds, but random rolls was not one of them. In not saying it will get better. I'm saying it is better, and has the potential to be even better than now if bungle chooses to expand on it. It's not perfect, but neither was D1.

    Funny how you're on a post of people saying it's worse telling them "it's better" and you don't get it...it's subjective and up to personal opinion. These personal opinions add up to be "popular opinion". When that happens you can judge what the majority's feeling are on the matter. The more you see these posts (and you will see them more) the more you know your opinion is not the popular one. Guess which opinion bungie banks on the majority or minority?

  • Welcome to the forums, where the popular opinion in one thread isn't always representative of all opinions in all threads, and the seemingly popular opinion doesn't always match statistical data. There are arguably just as many people who like static rolls as there are who like random rolls, both in this thread and outside of it. At the end of the day it doesn't really matter which opinion is more popular, what's important is that all opinions on the matter are heard.

  • If you think this is one thread, then you're stupid and blind. But I don't think you are. I think you are deliberately downplaying how popular of an opinion it actually is.

  • This is one thread. This is the one thread you are replying in. The only one I was referring to. I'm well aware that other threads threads have been made on the same topic, both for and against it, and I did acknowledge that. There is a large group of people who want random rolls back, and a large group who prefer the static rolls, and both opinions are plenty vocal. Hence why it's still a hot topic in many threads.
