D1 TDB was my starting point, 5600 grimoire, plenty of hours in D1. Average PVP player 1.2 ish kd in D1 and have been to the lighthouse a handful of times and never been carried. I think the Beta is good but definitely has some things that either need work or I need to get used to. Movement speed is far different and requires more finesse, I don't know yet if I feel like it needs changing or I just need to work on when I am cutting my jump or using the in air movement abilities. The slower super charge and ability charge to me is welcome albeit a little slow but I still feel like I can use my abilities in appropriate situations which is fine for me. Gun play is good with certain weapons but definitely feel like the focus is on using the correct weapon in the correct scenario. E.g. People who spam sub machine guns from range are going to lose basically every time to someone running an auto rifle. My overall opinion is that the majority of people who played a lot of D1 have been spoiled, we had the best guns, best armor and could get away with using incorrect weapons in many scenarios because abilities made up for it. That's the biggest change I see. The beta for me is simply that, a test, I'm reserving all my judgments for once I play the finished version.
