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...

Just done the first mission and strike with Titan sentinal. I really don't like the new weapon setup. Tried all the default weapons I received aswell as the exotic auto rifle, but found I soon went to what I think will be default selection of scout / handcannon. I liked the inclusion Of The third ability (shield) but the super seems to take a long time to generate and didn't seem to generate lots of orbs. Also the flying shield attack can only be activated once and seems quite weak (wouldn't 1 hit kill Harpys on strike mission.) so far the game doesn't feel like a new game but an expansion which I guess is OK but the pve better be bloody good in the final release. I liked the layout Of The strike and the inclusion of more environmental obstacles is nice, although the way the weapon set up is the strike boss felt even more spongier than d1 bosses. I hope we can unlock weapons in the full game that feel op to use in pve but I feel the way d2 seems to be directed more to pvp that we won't get that ghorn / original vex feeling back.
