I, overall, liked the changes they did on PVE. The story has me really hyped for it.
I am still not convinced on PVP though.
Sidenote.
Dunno if this apathy torwards the beta is related to the apathy with D1, but after trying it the 1st day, i am not really motivated on keep playing it afterwards.
I think that i will buy D2, but i would wait to do it later this year or maybe after the 1st expansion is out.
I want to wait and see.
DMaybe is because i ended really burned out from D1 (playing basically only D1 for almost 3 years), but i donāt really want to jump in from the start this time.
I am going to be really busy this last half of the year
I am starting to work on the government entity that oversees over banks and financial entities at the end of july.
I also have to prepare some paper work for an ai investigation that i have been doing over this last 5 years (think of it as a thesis).
I am actually worried that i wouldnāt be able to play anything :shake:
Just got out of some control games and just need to shed some BAD D1 habits like spamming nades but iām enjoying it. The power ammo drops and slow trickle of power ups is crazy but needs tweaking. Hopefully Bungie listens to the beta critiques to fix up before release.
I think that the slow special charge is something that would be āfixedā with better equipment.
Now, i really dislike the fact that the power ammo can only gives ammo to the one who picked it.
It is really stupid, not to mention that at least for now, it seems that the number of stations is really limited on the stages.
I also thought the strike was good. For me the exploration and seeing different parts of the planet/area was fun. PVP is ok for the most part except for the painfully slow grenade charge and the shit damage output. I was shooting a guy and stuck him with a flux grenade to finish him offā¦ the grenade did virtually no damage. I guess they want you to focus on gunplayā¦ If the grenades do no damage why not just buff other areas like the shield/area/dodge abilities?
Shitty team mates was also a big problem in some of the matchesā¦ players were either afk or straight up terribleā¦ most of the times it was 2 players who were good and the other 2 were really bad i.e. not capping, always getting killed, not helping you finish off guys right in front of you etcā¦ team shot play is a must now. I have to say the imo pvp tier wise its hunter > titan > warlock.
Iām pretty much done with the beta until the farm test. Iāve played far to much D1 and already feel burnt out on the beta.
Overall Iām not feeling the changes to pvp but pve still feels nice so Iām here for it. The bomb mode is actually pretty fun with a team that communicates. Control is ass anyway you splice it though.
i might play this beta
from what ive seen just seems like a revamped verison instead of the sequel
but ill play it and the inevitable overpatch will happen and ill drop it like i did with destiny 1 and warframe
shit always happens
I enjoy it too, I just have issue with this being labeled a sequel and getting priced like a sequel when itās mainly stuff that shouldāve been there from the beginning.
Sorry guys, we didnāt know the story should be in the game. We didnāt know our enormous sandbox areas should actually have more to do than the occasional boss fight. We didnāt know running the same missions over and over again wouldnāt be fun.
Letās not forget that completely got rid of like 6 or 7 areas.
The only thing keeping me interested is the PvE gameplay. Itās that good. There isnāt a shooter past or present that feels better than Destiny - but Iām not gonna act like Bungie isnāt still BSing.
I actually kinda like the reduced ability stuff for crucible. Higher level crucible was always fucking nuts because you always had stupid good guns on top of really good abilities that came back like every 15 seconds. I mean there were a lot of trials games where we knew where the enemy was, but we would opt to wait for nades to recharge before we went anywhere near them.
Iāve pretty much already figured out the beta though.
Equip Nightshade to win
Showrunner shreds people that donāt know what theyāre doing
Sniping is pointless
Shotguns work exactly as expected
Fusions are decent if you figure out the charge time
Grenade launcher is a poor manās rocket launcher and will never see use unless it gets changed
