I agree on all points. [spoiler]I'm the friend.[/spoiler]

I've just started playing and have some initial feedback, and this seems like as good a place as any to provide it. In no particular order: The character creation options seem a bit sparse. Perhaps this is expanded upon in the full game, but as is it seems there are very few choices in each category. When making character creation selections (or any menu dealing with cosmetic changes), the feature should be displayed when highlighted instead of having to push A repeatably (Xbox) to reflect changes. For instance, if I want to test out all the hair colors, I don't want to mash A 20 times to see them all. Holding Y (Xbox) to go to orbit or exit the post mission report takes too long, maybe 5 seconds. You can really cut this down. 2 seconds ensures it is not a mistake, 5 is annoying overkill. As I've seen pointed out very often, the enemies respawn much too quickly in all occurrences. This has been expanded upon by many others, so I'll leave it at that. Lastly, this deals with fundamental mechanics of the game which I fear will limit the amount of change possible. I feel the movement speed is too slow, almost sluggish. This has been an unfortunate trend in Bungie games, most egregiously in Halo Reach. Please increase movement speed. Also, the aiming accuracy while airborne needs to be increased. In fact, please abolish the aiming penalty altogether. This really discourages what is a fundamental movement in the game. If this game is supposed to feel fun to shoot, this does the exact opposite. I feel this is an unfortunate effect of the push to ADS in destiny, which in and of itself is not a bad thing, but it detracts from certain aspects of the shooting mechanics. The movement penalties for increased accuracy is something I never expected for a Bungie game, and it is unfortunate it is so pronounced. My last point is the most important, but also the hardest to address. I hope some compromise is made in the coming months before release. All said, this is a great game and I can't wait to get my hands on the final product. I'll likely drop more feedback as I sink some more time into the beta.

Not having the same button for melee attack and throwing knife like wtf is that about? If you miss a melee attack you have to wait until the meter fills up again when you weren't even trying to use it in the first place. Melee attack should just be R3 IMO.

Good stuff but for #1 instead of more emotes I'd rather see some type of communication system for tactical commands such as attack, hold, regroup, help and so on...

Something else i'll add is, I think that you shouldn't lose all your special ammo in PvE when swapping weapons. It makes sense in PvP for balance, but its just annoying on missions.

Am i the only one that thinks that enemies should either be worth more xp or it should take less xp to level

One thing that I've noticed: A lack of scaling xp. I'm hoping it'll be in the full game, but when you're a level 3 and a Lv 2 dreg gives you 20 xp, and a level 8 dreg gives you the SAME 20 xp, it makes it feel like you should just focus on blasting the weaklings. There's no xp-based reward for going after more difficult enemies (like the lv 11 dreg in the Forgotten Shore). Also, stealth vandals and regular vandals have the same xp amount (35). Doesn't feel correct to me. Maybe make the stealth ones 40-ish?

Ability to auction weapons for glimmer!

it would be nice if the rocket launcher had ammo since I really needed that weapon to take out the spider tank

I particularly agree with 8. Like any instance when you have a team in almost any MMO or something you can see some player stats because it's strategically important to know how the other members are doing. As for the way point system (assuming they add better communications with a mic or emotes) I don't think should be in the game. It kind of takes away from the having to communicate with the team in real time to make plans an what not. This is just my personal preference on way points. --- another idea instead of a point could be a ping-based system if a system of specifying location was an absolute must.
