anyone with over 3,000 hours played definitely needs some guidance in their life.. you can't spend that much of your time on one video game without some sort of mental problem.. whether its an obsession or maybe some sort of anxiety that prevents you from having a full time job or ya know.. a significant other..

I have 5,540 Grimoire score and have been playing Destiny 1 since the beta. Gameplay feels good, though I would've liked it if we were given the chance to play around with the new Weapon Mods and Armor Mods. The new story mission and Strike are outstanding, though I wish we could replay the Homecoming mission more than once per character... hopefully we get to do that in the final release, since the opening mission for Destiny 1- "A Guardians Rises"- is still not replayable, and this opening mission is so much better than the first game. I absolutely love the new weapon system, as well as all the new Exotic weapons, though some of the power weapons- namely shotguns- feel like they need a serious buff in PvE, and the drop rate for Power Ammo needs to be increased. Control is still as fun as ever, but I feel it needs to go back to 6v6. Countdown feels way too long at 10-11 rounds, and the amount of time before you can be revived feels ridiculous.

To me I enjoy the pvp changes. No longer is it a ability spam fest, it feels like gun skill and team work matters. The only thing I can't see right now is, amazing plays ! I can't wait to see how the pros play in terms of going 3v1 or 4v1 with power ammo being an option and all the uncertainty. I think this beta is a fun play ground. Supers and abilities too slow in PVE though.

Only thing that really needs to be tweaked IMO is the ability cooldown for PVE. Let us use grenades for the love of God. Otherwise I love it.

I think everyone is discounting this game too early. It's the beta with a very limited set of weapons, and armor sets with no perks. You're going to feel weak in D1 if you run around in green/blue gear which is basically what the beta gear is equal to more or less. Yes the weapons are technically legendary but again it's only a very limited set and we don't have any choice of getting different intrinsic perks or the perk infuser whatever option at the bottom of the inspect page. Everyone saying the game is boring or slow is comparing this beta to their thousand hours of play time characters with min-maxed gear. Yea grenades and supers are taking a long time to charge, it takes as long in D1 if you have no intellect or discipline. There is supposed to be perks on armor to reduce cool downs in a more expected way than we had in D1. Instead of mixing and matching gear to hopefully hit those 60 int/disp/str thresholds, its just a perk to reduce cooldowns for x ability. We don't have those yet so yes it will feel slow. As for the super we specifically have helmet perks in D1 to increase super charge rate for "killing minions of the darkness with x". Also anyone complaining about the supers being bad aren't reading the nodes from their subclasses to see the effects they have and forget that it's not the only version of the supers we will get. There is still a whole other skill tree which you may like better we are not able to use yet. The voidwalker super isn't slow because they nerfed it, it's slow because of the perk in the skill tree. You can shoot it to release the seeking missiles early which I don't think many people read to be honest. The gunslinger super isn't weak, if you look at the second tree of the subclass you will see it gets precision damage and drops more orbs (personally I'm excited to use this myself). The beta version we got is more useful for clearing out several small enemies whereas the other skill tree is better for boss damage given it has precision modifiers on it. Yea heavy ammo doesn't drop often but they are aware and will fix it. We also don't have armor with ammo perks to increase our ammo counts. So when we do get ammo we also get less of it due to no ammo perks.

For me there is no point in extolling the virtues of the Beta. From a developers point of view (as opposed to the marketing point of view) the whole reason of having a beta test is to criticise it. If you have an interest in the game, you should point out the things that are problematic in a clear and reasoned way and hope they will be addressed in the full-game release. So, for my part, I am not shy of saying movement needs looking at (particularly ponderous on Hunter and Warlock), slow NovaBomb is not very good, Gunslinger needs an ability on par with the other classes, ammo drops are mean as -blam!-, skill-tree management is better in D1, player characters need to speak in the game (still haven't said anything since Mara Sov's throne room), there is still frame rate drop in hectic encounters, and there is still lag in PvP.
