I've invested almost 6000 hours in Destiny 1 and I just cancelled my Destiny 2 pre-order based on the Beta
So, like many in the community, I've found the recent Beta experience to be wildly underwhelming. I am sure that the following topics have been beat to death, but I just cannot get past how cumbersome and under-powered the PVE experience is. So, let's recap:
- Super cool down is way to long
- Specifically, as a primary Titan player, I found the new method to 'pop your bubble' way too problematic. You literally have to stop and hold the damn buttons which has led to my death many times during the Beta gameplay.
- Grenade cool down is way too long and they're severely under powered
- The Skill Tree is a joke
- Way to go taking away flexibility in the way you want to build your loadout
- Without the Intellect, Discipline and Strength tiers allowing you to tailor your cool downs to match your specific play style you've made the game feel tedious and boring
- Scout rifles tickle
- Power Ammo drops are far too infrequent
- RIP HMG's
- Movement is cumbersome and feels as though you're dragging your feet
These were my main points as to why I believe D2, frankly, sucks. Yes, PVP isn't nearly as frustrating as you no longer get one-shot by a Hand Cannon outside a range that even a Scout Rifle could manage, but this obsession with balancing PVP and PVE together has led to PVE suffering.
The solution is simple...balance them separately. It's not like you don't already; have you ever tried to kill the Elite Cabal guarding the ship entrance on the way to the Shield Brother's Strike? Obviously your level is tweaked for the public space indicating that it can be done but you have just chosen not to.
So, after being a Destiny 1 Beta player, purchasing every DLC for three people (my whole family plays) and investing 6000 hours into the game I think I'll just try D2 through Gamefly eventually.
Congratulations on luring new players with the PVP changes; too bad it comes at the expense of us Old Guard. Funny thing is, once they see how Destiny PVP plays, they'll go back to Overwatch or CSGO and you'll be out both player bases.
Good luck.

4 답변The 2 primary weapon loadout is the worst part for me. It's -blam!-ing frustrating, ineffective and not fun at all. What is so bad about the Destiny 1 loadout? Oh right, it makes the PvP scrubs cry.

7 답변I'm gunna play the Beta like it's the climactic ending to Destiny. Everything has Fallen apart and gone to shit. The end of an era. The light could not sustain itself and assimilated into the darkness that is the Cabal of game development philosophy. Many are abandoning the franchise quite Vexed. It's like they've Taken us for a mindless Hive mind that'll throw money at them in exchange for disrespect.

9 답변6000 hours and you died during the strike trying to pop a bubble? I love it when every rant in the forums begins with the usual validation, "I have X amount of hours pumped into this game and blah blah blah". It goes to show it doesn't matter how much time you pump into the game, if you suck you suck. I went through the entire mission and strike without ever having to use my power weapon. It's way too easy. People complain about super cooldowns being too high but look how they're using them! I see people using their supers on useless moments throughout the strike. They're supposed to be used when you encounter elites or mini bosses. Same with power weapons. The pve feels fine, if anything more refined and a bit challenging. People barely used their supers in D1 anyways. Warlocks always ran self res and everyone would always hold on to their supers for long periods of times. If you truly love PvE then stop trying to have them water it down. Be more resourceful instead of asking for more power ammo to rain from the sky, scrub.

5 답변I tried to cancel too... But psn would not refund my money. Sony customer service was not helpful either. I am stuck with this purchase... :/

Annnnnnd you've summoned yourself by going off a build that they basically said " Yah we already fixed all of that stuff for the final version except some of the last minute things you guys found". This is why you don't make a purchase decision based on a beta anymore. When the build was presented to Microsoft and Sony to approve and put out Bungie was still tweaking and testing away at it. If Microsoft and Sony weren't so slow at getting changes to stuff out I'd bet money that no one except all the people whining about the weapon system and the "watered down" subclass trees would have complained. God does EVERYONE forget that in gaming today BETAS are there solely as a way for developers to test server load? That it thats all its for. Christ people chill the heck out, check out a small streamer or youtuber play the game when its live and make the decision then.

2 답변I've got over 4k hours played. I preordered and won't be cancelling. Sure some things need tweaking... It's a Beta. Some things you complained about have already been addressed.

1 답변Dude.... beta. For all anyone knows this is specifically for crucible balencing and the strike is a teaser. 2/3 of all the content is crucible, I would say 85-90% of players are investing all their time into the crucible. And for all you know thats what bungie intended. You're going to give up on a game based entirely on one strike? Roughly 20 minutes of game play? With a additute like yours... i truly pitty you. I personally invested stupid amounts of time in d1 and can tell you if I had to chose 20 minutes of gameplay as my make or break, quit or dont quit, I wouldve have quit long ago. Point is you cant pass judgement on a game based on a twenty minute strike. I agree with some of the things you bring up, and I've got my own issues with the game (obviously, I mean I'm a hunter main. ;-; we cry just looking at our supers and abilities, especially the dodges) but its just dumb to judge a game as harshly as you do, knowing 10% of the content. Only like 3% being pve.

3 답변Dude, bungie has already said that they fixed these problems in a newer version. Just wait for the actual game. We havent even seen the slightest bit of what it to come. Everything will be much better in the real game. If you want to cancel your pre-order, then go ahead knowing you might regret that decision later.

https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46077/7_This-Week-At-Bungie--07202017 This was posted by Cosmo on another post. I think everyone should give this a good read. I think you will find it interesting and helpful if you are not pleased with the beta.
