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...

Can't claim 5500+ grimoire or even 1000 hours, but I've been playing since the D1 Alpha and loved the journey that was Destiny 1. Given that it's a beta with 2 missions and 2 crucible maps, I think people need to chill the -blam!- out. Buuuut, I can say I that I love the change to PvP. Having to use actual gun skill and teamwork is a nice change from the ability spam of D1 crucible. I don't like the pacing of PvE, however. Abilities don't seem to do much at all, and the hard hitting weapons like snipers, fusions, etc don't have the punch they used to. Every moment feels like a grind to chip down an enemy's health. The mechanics have been stellar, tho.
