I miss crafting
Title sums up nicely, but it basically sucks that we are once again at complete mercy of RNG in regards to loot chase. At least when crafting was still a thing, I felt that the time and efforts spent in this game were actual investments towards acquiring my desired god rolls. Now, every activity feels like a gamble in which the odds are stacked against me.

Should've kept crafting and yoinked the enhanced perks out. Supposed to be a catch-up mechanic anyways, not a source of best-in-slot loot. Let it be that.

1 ReplySadly crafting is dead. The hardcore grinders got exactly what they wanted while people that loved crafting basically got the middle finger from Bungie. Rumor is bungie wants to use crafting as a catchup mechanic for people that never got the gear as time moves on. Which if true basically means grind for a higher tier weapon now or grind for a tier 2 equivalent later. Such a dumb idea imo if true.

They should have kept crafting, and to appease the people who like to go for random rolls, adept weapons should have an exclusive perk pool/combination. People who just want a solid weapon would be happy with their crafted version, and the try-hards would be happy chasing a god roll for the adept weapons. Unfortunately, BUNGO can't think straight for a second, and they ditched the whole system in favor of this absolute mess.

At this point the only people who dont miss crafting are either in denial of the state of the game or streamers who were never happy that everyone could get a god roll eventually.

crafting kept a stable starch of blood in d2.

Edited by xbroggiex: 8/18/2025 2:59:27 PMTiered loot system is arbitrary when you eventually hit 400-500 and every drop is T5 anyway. I haven't even touched the raid loot outside of the crossbow because I just don't care enough to farm a raid for weapon rolls, if I could craft the weapons I would attain all the patterns and maybe use some of them or at least mess around with them. I won't however go out of my way to try to get a roll of a raid weapon to try something. The fact you still cannot see what perks a weapon can roll with without using a 3rd party website is a complete joke, so players that don't use those sites will have no idea if a gun is good or not until they get a good roll on it. They should just go back to how it was, we don't need like 5 versions of a gun where the first 2 versions are the equivalent of a blue and get instantly dismantled.

They need to double down and triple down on Crafting.
