Not to be a downer, but is anyone a little disappointed by what they've shown so far? I'm not sure what I was expecting, maybe a greater departure from Destiny 1 in some way I can't define.

It just looks like...more Destiny and I haven't seen anything that won't make the endgame any less stale.

I'm probably just being over critical or something but eh

Over critical when you can't even define it? HMMMMMMMMM

Seriously, I love people saying D2 isn't different enough. Like, if you want something so drastically different, play a different loving game???? Why does Destiny need to stop existing so you can play a different game? Ffs.

It doesn't bother me that much for the beta 'cause I have a PS4, but this whole "lol get hosed boners" shtick is getting super old. Do we really need to keep guns and strikes locked off from a huge chunk of the player base for a full year?

When will Bone Krew gets its day? When? :(

Love to see the wormfeeder rune returning and being part of the whole D2 patrol experience.

If the gist of this is "every patrol zone is gonna be the Dreadnaught, but bigger and moreso" then get the gently caress in, the Dreadnaught poo poo was one of the best parts of Destiny.

Soooooo correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Defender Titan having both Ward of Dawn AND the Captain America gently caress Yeah as selectable alternates imply that each individual elemental subclass might have an 'alternate' version as well? Like each elemental subclass has two supers to choose from?

New ward of dawn is basically the relic from vog, so you gotta sit there doing nothing and hold down a button to have it out. It's not an alternate mode.

Monte Carlo could be kind of fun with the right build (like a gunslinger's trance + knife throwing build) but yeah it was trash. Jade Rabbit's got kind of a neat niche of sustained boss damage but it's outclassed by like... every special/heavy exotic for damage, and even NT2E maybe.
exodus blue and timekeeper are alright maps but sector 618 is trash imo yeah. Icarus is ok?
the vex strike with the orbs is fun if you're a titan and just skate the balls to the end in 5 seconds, and you have a good team that knows what they're doing at the boss but if not then yeah its a huge slog. Dust Palace was awful year 1, it's ok now.

can people shoot out of it like the relic, or do they have to leave like old ward?

on the one hand nerfing the bubble was probably warranted but on the other this new set up sound kind of like "you stand here and hold button while OTHER people get to have fun" which is bad, especially when you'll get shitters demanding you use that tree even if it sucks

So far everything I have seen from the destiny guys regarding class composition and balance and regarding weapon balance and setup has been promising. I wouldn't worry too much about things imho, it seems like they learned from some big mistakes in D1.

The subclass agnostic class powers are extremely cool and good and should let them have a way better baseline for high end PvE content design.

Also, I have to say, I do like Anthem at a glance, but I'm afraid it's just going to be a Twin Film of Destiny 2. Like, Bungie hired Bioware's story writer after Taken King, and I guess now they feel like they need to take their sci-fi experience and put out a competing product.

No, the breakthrough stuff is when I (hopefully) take part in the Satala excavations next year. And it was mostly tongue in cheek, gently caress me like I'm gonna have the energy to shoot spacemans after hunching in the sun for like 9 hours, but I will be kind disappointed that the game will no longer have that "just launched" smell when I get back.
