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...

  • I am a D1 beta player. I have thousands of hours into D1, Grimoire is almost 5500 (I am missing a few ghosts & 3 siva fragments). I liked the strike & the Story mission. I guess I had a few more Heavy drops than most people but overall I agree with the need for higher ammo drops. Heavy weapons are weak in PVE. It took 5 shots to kill the hamsters with the cleavers (not all headshots as it was trying to hit a teammate when I was shooting at it) & grenade launchers take two hits to kill in PVP even when they are right at the base of the opponent. Fusion rifles seem to wreck in PVP though & are weird in PVP. Sometimes when I shot it barely damaged the yellow bar & then the next shot evaporated him so hidden perk? A glitch?. The primary guns are meh. What I do like is the size & scope of the strike & missions, I mean they do feel BIG. I also like the verticality (yes there is no such word but it conveys what I mean). I am hoping the beta allows them to see what works & what doesn't. I will not lie when I say I have huge fears of Bungie screwing this up & making it feel like D1 continued. I LOVED year 1, it was so much fun & I really enjoyed it. Year 2 & 3 not nearly as much. I want the year 1 feeling back.
