To each their own but it sounds like you're the type of person that sits there with their fingers in their ears screaming, "I'm not listening !" I get it though, there's just some people in this world that could be served shit on a plate and they'd love every second of it. It's perfectly fine to enjoy it by all means, but to sit there and ignore the bad, that's just ridiculous. By the way, streamers and YouTubers haven't ruined anyone's mind, that's bungie. They're the one that pulls the strings. There's a reason why D2 has less preorders than D1. There's a reason why D2 has 2.5 stars out of 5 on the Xbox marketplace. It's obvious that they're fućking shit up. Now I know they've addressed [i]some[/i] of the issues we're having in the weekly update, but we'll see how that plays out. I absolutely won't be preordering nor will I be buying at launch. They've got a LOTTTT of shit to be fixing.

Lmfao you're in for a big boring d2 experience enjoy

People aren't angry because they don't want to play Destiny. Telling people just not to buy it does not help or make them feel better. [i]People are angry because they very much want to play Destiny 2:[/i] They've been looking forward to it for a long time, and now they feel like their experience has been hurt by changes that nobody requested or thought necessary.

I never watch youtubers, I've read no opinions. I can tell what I think about a game by the amount of times I mutter "ffs" while I'm playing. D2 beta got more than it should have. Instadeath from a cabal hamster ball to the head was my first good one and ghost handcannon bullets really started tipping the balance. Whole new game. Same old problems.

The beta is awesome? It's two missions and two Crucible modes. Destiny 1's beta was the entire Earth chapter of the campaign. I'd done everything in the beta and gotten bored in no time. At the Farm, right now and it's just invisible walls and vast emptiness.

Engage in conversation like a man, not a happy, dumb little child.

The shillary is strong with you.

I've gotta ask, what is in this beta that is better than Destiny 1? What improvements or changes make you excited to buy Destiny 2. In all honesty, I can't find a thing.

What the heck are you talking about? Did you actually play it? The mechanics are virtually identical. So primary weapons with burn now occupy the secondary slot instead of the primary. That's a nerf, not a new mechanic. So existing secondary weapons now occupy the heavy slot. Again, a nerf. So Strength, Discipline and Intellect are not built into all gear and instead replace certain armor mods with reduced effect. Again, a nerf. Crucible, Story Missions, Strikes and Raids? All existing game types. The enemies? The same. The voice actors, characters, classes, gear slots? All the same. Please name for me one thing that's actually new- and keep in mind a new Crucible "mode" was released with TTK, that's an expansion level change, not a fundamental change to the game or its mechanics. I suppose there is ledge grabbing. Woo hoo. As to "different abilities", 90% of them are existing abilities, either directly ported, or reskinned and shuffled around. Warlock has hammer instead of Titan, and gets the Defender's Bubble Add on Effects (heal or increased damage) as a standalone "new ability". Hunter gets Shadestep, an existing ability, on all kits but with a giant cooldown. Sure there are some actual new abilities for Titans, a shield instead of a bubble for example, but if they choose 1 of 2 total options that ability gets outright replaced- by the old bubble! They also get to build a small wall or big wall, the only "new" ability that is actually new. Were you fooled by the reskins into thinking the Arcstrider is somehow different from the Bladedancer in a way more meaningful than the removal of invisibility effects? That's the most significant way in which the abilities are different- in their absence. Not just in terms of reduced subclasses, but the defender for example now kits into his base kit from before, and lacks the orb generating prowess he once had. The Warlock solar based kit, on a class with the keyword "recovery", is most notably different from a combination of their previous kit and the titan hammers in that it lacks the ability to self res, which is what really made them unique and gave them a meaningful PVE role. You're interpreting a game with nerfs to every aspect of itself, with vastly reduced character choices, and very, VERY few meaningful new ones, and with a game which is no more 'different' from the previous title than its expansion was from its pre-expansion self, and interpreting that as a "new game" with "new mechanics" and "different abilities"? I would LOVE for you to elaborate on exactly what and how is so new and different about it.

I enjoyed the new PvP format more than I thought I would. The lack of insta-kill actually gave me time to think instead of the "Oops, you're dead now." style of D1. Now when I round the corner and see a team of dudes I actually have time to bail and regroup with my team and strike back instead of "Wrong Neighborhood, mother[b]f[/b]ucker!" gangrape scenarios.

Yea everything feels fine to me EXCEPT for the slow cooldowns for grenades and melee abilities.

When they said it would be 4 vs 4 I was so disappointed but man was I wrong. I love the beta. Good job bungie 😁
