This is one of the most frustrating things about D2 : "New platform, better developers tools, better weapon balance, etc" but they just aren't doing many updates which are worth a damn. I think we've had a single balancing pass so far and that's pretty shocking considering how autos have basically made both scouts and pulses obsolete. And like you said they took away random rolls to make it easier to balance and it's still pretty askew in certain areas. I'm at the point where I'm not certain this game can be saved at this point.... I'll play it here and there for a bit, but I'm not anywhere near as interested as I was in D1. My clan fell apart since CoO launched and now I'm down to like 5 members I think... my raid team is almost entirely gone and playing Fortnite or PUBG.
Unless they revert MOST of the changes they made from D1 to D2 I think this game will dwindle out and continue to die. We need our Secondary slot back and I am bored to tears with using the same couple of weapons because there just isn't much variety. I'm a scout rifle guy and still Nameless Midnight is the only scout worth using... though I hear the new Trials scout is amazing, but I'm dogshit at PvP and as I said my clan is dead, so I doubt I'll be getting my hands on it. I fucking miss my fusion rifle... god damn do I miss Plan C. I hate this new "double primary" system and it needs to die.
