Far too much focus on PVP, we are here for PVE
The reason me and my clan play destiny is for the PVE, the PVE with friends in destiny is the best PVE experience around, but it seems with the press around D2 and especially now the beta that the balance and focus has very much shifted toward PVP, and has certainly taken away from the fun in PVE.
The enemies are bullet sponges, the super recharge is an actual joke, ability recharge isn't much better, power weapons are USELESS, and movement speed and jumping control seems way way slower than D1.
I appreciate this is a beta and things may change but it certainly seems as though the balance and focus is toward PVP in a big way, and there is nothing to show or suggest about loot drops/engrams (which be honest is why we keep coming back and back, like a borderline crack addition) that looks like any improvement on D1 if anything its worse.
Amazing representation of graphics and base gameplay, terrible representation of the game's direction and content.

Having 6 different power weapon types (grenade, rocket, fusion, sniper, shotgun, sword) for 1 slot when you have 6 different weapons (auto, hand cannon, scout, pulse, sidearm, SMG) to occupy the other 2 slots means that the heavy weapons are going to be largely ignored and laid to waste in your vault while the overall loadouts feel more repetitive. So if you're stuck with only 1 weapon to deal real damage, you can't have that be a sniper like we have in the beta which appears to be a fast firing and low impact type. I had a tough time telling if I was even out-damaging a Sunshot bullet, and that should never be the case. On the flip side, the fusion rifle is amazing in both PVE and PVP. It's probably the best weapon in all of D2 right now.
