Static Gun Rolls Killed Playability
I can't be the only one who thinks getting a perfect roll or constantly trying to was one of the main aspects of the original and had us coming back for more? Now I see everything for what it really is.. reskinned and recolored with no real differences.
Levelling my guns to get a feel for them and unlocking the perks that felt signifcant were a huge part of the experience and without that it feels very empty.. It's kind of sad and since it is this way I don't see any 'U turn' coming any time soon on that route.
Edit: I'm definitely leaning more towards the randomization of perks or the addition of a way to customize the perks, and not the levelling of guns itself. It was something I felt needed brought up in relation to guns in the original.

Edited by zzmorphinezz: 9/27/2017 2:29:04 PMI was on the fence initially when it came to static perks, but the more I play the more I like static perks. It means that when I get a gun I know if I will like it or not. It no longer depends on getting it with exactly the right rolls that I like or fit my play style. While for many players this may take out some of the grind that people liked and added replay ability for them, I personally was never a fan of it in D1. Trying to get a Grasp of Malok to drop from Omnigul was a pain for me in D1, and the two or three that I did manage to get all had awful perks. This added frustration for me as I got the gun I wanted but it's perks made them useless to me. Now with D2 I know longer have that frustration, once I get the gun I want I have it, and it is usable. This also means that once I get the gun I can use it and enjoy it and I don't have to worry about grinding for it before it disappears from the loot table when the next DLC comes out or it gets nerfed by Bungie, and we all know what happens when they nerf a weapon. While this wasn't the case for the Grasp of Malok I never got to experience the Hopscotch Pilgrim when it was a "must have" weapon. So for me, I personally prefer the static perks. I understand and respect others that don't like it but I hope others can respect why I see it as a good thing.
