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 may not have the hours in D1 do to lack of replayability for me but I am a D1 beta and on player with a decent amount of grimoire. I have yet to play pvp in D2 but will tomorrow or tonight. The beta is fun, the new abilities and weapons are a good refresher from the old D1 ones but just give it time and I suppose that will die away. Overall it feels more balanced in a way because you can't spam your super and abilities like before and I personally had plenty of ammo for all 3 gun slots throughout the mission. It's not a constant stream of ammo but it's enough. The abilities seemed too weak however. Half the grenades/melee could kill in a single hit. I don't want them overpowered but with the wait time we have it should at least be stronger. That or enemies health was absurdly high. I've tried 3 exotics and 2 were extremely fun. The other was alright but lackluster compared to the others. I fear the game will still lack the ability to keep me playing after I hit the highest level and achieve every exotic. I need something to progress towards but that is just my own gameplay style. I am still hoping though that we are just seeing a glimpse of the game and not a good chunk of it like we did with D1 and it's beta. If you'd like I can update you on my opinion of the crucible(not my strong area, but decent when connection holds) and the strike.
