Strong thoughts on D2 gunplay with Massive Breakdown's Kyt and Mercules

This week RWG and I got to talk D2 with Kyt Kutcha and Mercules904 of the Massive Breakdown Podcast who give us their thoughts on D2 gunplay two months in. It's a mini-episode due to audio issues, but the topics include [quote]What are thoughts on the updates Bungie has made to PvP, has it improved play? At this point in D2, how does the new weapon system (kinetic, energy, power) stand up verse D1's system? Do D2 game modes really fit 4v4 play? Lack of power and ammo in Prestige level play Is D2 too extreme casual to hard core? Thoughts on balance, kill times and the Bungie ethos on weapons Will D2 be a reverse of D1's backward power creep? [/quote] Thank you for listening and what are your thoughts on the topics we discussed?

    This kinetic, energy, power system is a nightmare in pve. I kind of understand why bungie felt like it would work for both pvp and pve, but pve is suffering In reality. I've been running strikes and there aren't very many yellow bars to get purple bricks from, so essentially I'm running around with two primaries running out of ammo shooting red bars because some if the red bars take two clips to kill (looking at you minotaur). To add on supers are slow (more on this in a sec) Really miss the Primary, Special, and heavy for pve. I felt like I had options, I had to think tactically in raids and in the night fall, and I was having fun while doing it. I get players saying they were getting sick of getting shotgunned, but is that currently a problem in Destiny? No. Special spawns every min but if you die, you lose it, which made people stop going for it because it slowed the game down. Speaking of slowing the game down...super, grenades, rockets and guardians movement feels extremely slow compared to destiny. Hell even the cabal are jumping over my rockets. That fast paced element that I loved in destiny is gone...Destiny 2 looks beautiful, but its sooo slow. So excited to hear more about these new mods. IMHO, I think mods could fix these complaints about random rolled weapons. Random rolled weapons caused balancing issues, we don't want that(I dont). If they added an extra slot or two to all weapons and let players put mods on those weapons (or gear) I'm going to lose my mind. I'm glad LostWing can see both the up and down in D2. Even happier to hear from you guys again :) Edit: will edit later, I'm driving lol
