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...

The gameplay is pretty fun, it feels so much... Tighter? Fluid? I can't really explain what's better about it, you'll have to understand when you play it. Weapons seem mostly quite fun, with that veist scout being an exception as it does seem a bit weak. That's probably just the archetypal though. Supers and abilities are fun, but they are on the slow side. I understand to make abilities less of a deciding factor within a PVP match but suddenly having your super within the final 10 seconds of the game isn't amazing. On top of that it's not great in PVE where I'd argue abilities should be thrown around more than they are, only having your super twice a strike isn't fun and your other abilities take at least a minute to come back. It is fun though, I'm enjoying it. It's more Destiny, which is good because if it wasn't Destiny I'd probably not play it.
