Are other people hoping for a bit more variety and pizazz in their loot as well?
Oh yes! I loved the unique items you created for Sniper's mod 'A Necromancer's Crusade' and would like to see much more interesting and unique stats on items in D:OS 2, to individualize loot and character development (at best relate it to story).
Harder to balance than a generic set of stats, but especially mid- and late-game need special variants for loot to keep it interesting.
Nice to see you back on the forum by the way!
