An interesting observation about D2 Beta Reviews

So I've read all the reviews and opinions on the D2 Beta so far; I've spotted an interesting trend in the opinions from the ones that are saying it's great and are loving it. All of these Bungie defenders have sub 5000 Grimoire, No "From the beginning" node unlocked on Y3 MoT and have 1000 Hours or less gameplay time. You will say Grimoire doesn't mean shit, but it's an uncanny trend that I've spotted. Any D1 Alpha/Beta Vets with 5500+ Grimoire and 3000 Hours logged have anything good to say about this D2 Beta? I'm curious...

  • Day one player, 5000 plus grimoire, top 1% time played. Honest review of the beta so far: I think the graphics are an upgrade. The game looks very good. Very pleased. The story mission and strike are very well done. I think for now it looks as if the pve side will be excellent. As for the pvp, I'm not sold so far. Disclaimer, when I first started playing destiny, I was not a pvp player. My KD was so bad, and I honestly could have cared less. However, towards the end of year 1, I actually started caring and worked my KD up to 1 on my hunter and became a solid player. In D1, I hated how it became an abilityfest and I always hated the metas that forced you to use 1 weapon. Here's what I like about the D2 pvp: The competitive mode is pretty fun for the most part. Had some really good games and a few bad but it moves along and again, I had fun. What I don't like about the D2 pvp: To play and get a positive KD I had to focus more on running away and team shooting. I'm not a fan of that play style. It's slow, the time to kill is really slow. I'm not a cod fan so I like how destiny is different, but this is too drastic. What I hate: So far, it has been very inconsistent. I've been 1 shot with full health numerous times and others I play with have said the same. Sometimes shots are not registering and other times they are fine. I realize it's a beta but I hope Bungie is able to correct it.
