I don't care about a gameplay reveal

[spoiler]For those who will actually read this i'll explain, otherwise there will be a tl:dr at the bottom. [/spoiler] So we all know about the upcoming gameplay reveal on May 18th; I'm sure we are all very hyped and excited about this upcoming tidbit of the sequel to everyone's favorite scifi shooter. But it's not all good. I'm gonna step in front of this hype train to hopefully get some people to ask the right questions of bungie; because honestly I feel we need to question this game or else we'll end up with a repeat of year 1. so these are just some things i'd like to suggest to the community to get them thinking. 1. Destiny has never had an issue with gameplay. The gameplay, be it guns, abilities, melee etc, have, for me at least, always been very solid. Perhaps destiny's best attribute. I don't need to be shown something I'm already fairly confident will be of pretty good quality. 2. Will weapons be balanced in pvp and pve independently? or will we have a repeat of the last couple of years? 3. Will characters be fleshed out this time around? or will we be expected to read grimoire cards? 4. Will we have in game lfg? or proper matchmaking systems in order to find groups for a primarily coop game? 5. 30 fps? 60 fps? 6. Content...content....content. Bungivision has said they have a plan to supply us with that steady drip of goodness. But what does that mean? will there actually be a steady stream of content; no not just content [b]quality[/b] content? 7. What kind of grind are we in for exactly? 8. Will microtransactions continue to encroach into the game ? could we be facing a call of duty situation? 9. Should we be expecting a demo or the beta/will the beta be indicative of the final product? So I know we all can't wait for destiny to come out. and we're all very excited. But please just think about what theyre showing us; think about what you want or don't want. And be sure to question what's going on. tl:dr we're all really hyped, but we need to ask the important questions. Will destiny 2 be a big improvement? or will it be the next call of duty? with some graphics updgrades, but another rehash of the same old stuff?

Will characters be fleshed out this time around? or will we be expected to read grimoire cards?[/quote] The trailer tells me yes. Destiny 1 had nothing remotely close to the D2 reveal trailer. [quote]4. Will we have in game lfg? or proper matchmaking systems in order to find groups for a primarily coop game? 5. 30 fps? 60 fps? 6. Content...content....content. Bungivision has said they have a plan to supply us with that steady drip of goodness. But what does that mean? will there actually be a steady stream of content; no not just content [b]quality[/b] content?[/quote] We're in agreement on all these. [quote]7. What kind of grind are we in for exactly? [/quote] If its anything like Year 1. D2 will sink. D1 Year 1 grind made it a running joke & tarnished the brand. Many hardcore players will (obviously) disagree. But AoT exposed the true colors of many of these players. So we all know "why" the vocsl minority want this grind to be ridiculous again. But...for the sake of discussion. Would they like it if this time round they DIDN'T get lucky & they didn't see goid drops for over an entire year despite running content till there eyes bled like many other players experienced. [i](The forvever 29s/31 & etc. Those who never saw a yr1 Gjally or didn't get one till Xur resold it or who didn't get one to drop until the weeks/month before TTK.)[/i] Those who raided multiple times a week and got materials every-single-time. Etc. Would they still love the grind? Would the "excitement" of loot be true happiness or would it be a joy derived from abuse/starvation? What I have seen from RoI & AoT... Everyone needs to suffer & "earn" their way. Remove 3oC, quests, & etc. But when they have bad RNG, the game needs a patch or its a bug. There should be a "difficult" quest, and/or some system in place. Aka: It isn't acceptable. Bottomline: This question & question 2 will define & make or break the game. [quote]8. Will microtransactions continue to encroach into the game? could we be facing a call of duty situation?[/quote] Yes. I expect either a Warframe like transaction system by the end of D2 Year 2. Mini-patches with Micros that allow deeper customization, recreation, etc (this makes devs ALOT OF BANK). Or worse... Items, Armor, Rerolls, etc. Either way it will be done in a manner where it is seen as ok but also needed. [quote]9. Should we be expecting a demo or the beta/will the beta be indicative of the final product?[/quote] The beta is NEVER the final product. It comes damn close though. Beta tests look for holes/bugs in currently finished content, test servers, and etc. Many who beta test frequently were blown away with how D1 was quite literally the beta & no changes were done at release aside from Dinklebot's voice & some dialogue removal. That poor wizard... ...he came from the moon... And got removed... I hope D2s beta is like others & allows us to experience & test 1 of every content type.
