One disappointment

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the beta. Most fun I've had with a game in a long time, but there was one thing that disappointed me. Customization. Now, this one of the most hyped features of Destiny, absurd amounts of customization. I honestly feel they didn't deliver on this in the beta. Before I go any further, I want you to know I realize this is a beta, but being launched only a couple of months before true launch? Doubtful most of what I'm mentioning could or would be added, unless they've had the beta build in their pocket for a lot longer than we think. Or work hella hard. Character customization itself was pretty awesome (Aside form no beards, and that was a BLAMing sin) but everything else was lacking IMHO. First off, we can't customize our ship. I'm stuck with whatever colors and pattern I get, and that's that. This seems a fairly big thing to not implement in the game IMO. But perhaps I'm wrong and just isn't in the beta build. Second, Sparrows. See above. Third, Shaders. Yes, I know we can't even use them cuz level 20 but just looking at the item picture, they seemed quite bland. Maybe the item pic doesn't do it justice. Can't really judge, just a thought. Does seem kinda weak that we can't just pay someone to make it any colors we want. Fourth, Weapons. I would think if this was going to be in the final game, then the Gunsmith would at least have the option for it. Fifth, emblems. Not seeing any color options for this was kind of a letdown. Final note: Like I said, I know it's a beta. If this had been launched some months ago, I could totally see them not having these things in it but having them in the final game. Furthermore, what worries me most is we don't see the option for most of these things. We can't use Shaders, so we don't know how they look. But we see them for sale, and we see the slot they are equipped into. The same cannot be said for making a custom reticle. Or changing ship colors. We don't really see anything that leads me to believe this would be implemented. Anywho, thanks for listening. It's late, so maybe I'm just talking out of my Yoink and not making sense. I love Destiny, it's a wonderful game and I can't wait for the launch. It just seems if customization was hyped this much, these are things we'd have when the final game launches. And if these are things we'll have when it launches, these are things that would at least be hinted at.
