That said there's never going to be a return to the old way of destiny where it was a an unbalanced chaos at times, CoD is dying as a competitive game and Activision need a new "competitive" IP to push. Destiny was probably the most consistently streamed console of the past few years and still had high numbers for what will be 3 years. That doesn't go unnoticed and it was obvious d1 was never going to be able to be used for any kind of proper ranked competitive play. I'm willing to bet that by the time the first expansion is announced there will be ranked games and tourney functionality that's going to be coupled with an MLG event to go with it.

Please no, e-sports poo poo needs to gently caress off and die already.

quote:

I miss my crutches cause I'm poo poo of energy shield and a self rez.

Fixed your post. lmao if you thought they where gonna leave self rez alone, that's the one ability they would have straight up removed if they could have in D1.

Also the sunsinger shield got nerfed into the ground cause of lovely rear end cru cru so not sure how you depended on that, if you really miss that just play a titan, at least their shield was still strong.

Its funny seeing some of the streamers being bitching now, they where all super happy day 1 now just non stop bitching on change this and change that, long as they keep it separate, that's all I'm worried about, every single questionable decision that affected PvE as well can all be traced back to Crucible, quite frankly the game feeling as anemic as it does in terms of weapons and armor can also be traced back to pvp, like goddamn is it really so goddamn hard to split the 2, let me putz around with all the cool poo poo in pve and the bads can go to cru with their gimped poo poo, all this poo poo works in pve, doesn't in pvp, simple, it might fly over some people's heads but the ones that actually care will adapt.

Really only thing I hate in the beta is hunter, they're so loving bad, just utter trash, how did we go from nightstalker to whatever the gently caress we got in the beta, gently caress I've seen arc striders die before they even finish their super casting animation, that's just sad, least GG is still a threat.

Yep. Same.

I uploaded some control gameplay: https://youtu.be/Lm2hfHIrYZM

For anyone taking note keep an eye on when i push and disengage and how early i make the call if things go bad. Slide or jump around every corner. Crouch half way through a gun fight or strafe shoot. Spam Titan shield, no reason not to.

Haven't lost a game in two days and feeling it a lot more now. All my previous criticisms still stand. 4v4 won't change but they can and should make some abilty and movement changes. Sidearms are loving pathetic and need a buff. SMGs could use a little love. Scouts too. The rest is fine. I like that hand canons are harder to use now. More of a skill weapon.

Also pulse nades are loving great and i have been using them over lightnings.

Failsafe dunking on Ghost in the strike is great, but otherwise I feel like I'm playing a worse version of the game I already put too much time into. I know early build, stress test, beta whatever, but this is leaving me feeling really underwhelmed.

One time in D1 I killed the whole opposing team with a single Fist of Havoc after they huddled inside a Defender's bubble. I don't think that it will feel like such an accomplishment with 4v4 matches with shittier supers.

I mean I know it's a beta and all but pvp just feels bad. I feel like I barely use my powers or abilities at all, shoulder charge feels weak as gently caress, the fist is pretty blah, and the barricades are okay I guess. SBMM is awful though. The gunplay's still good at least. The pve was fun so I'll get it just for that again but half the fun was the pvp and pve interconnectivity.

I played the D2 beta for a while and destroyed people, I'll be a very very good player (but not pro sweatlord) regardless of the meta. If anything I'm more suited to this style of play because my twitchy reaction times are probably the worst part of my game, I get by on solid aim, good positioning and understanding map flow.

But it's slow and boring and not Destiny (imho). I get they could theoretically adjust some stuff but there's a philosophy driving these changes from D1 that's most evident in the 4v4 decision.

Everyone is free to imagine that they will change their philosophy in the 6 weeks between now and release, but Bungie looked at this beta and said "this is representative enough of the product that this is how we are going to introduce the public to Destiny 2".

I get that you could like the direction, and I'm happy for people who are gonna get a game they like. But the beta basically confirmed my worst fear after hearing of the 4v4 decision, and that's that they are doubling down on "competitive" streamer pvp in a game that still obviously doesn't have the technical foundation for it, and that is at the expense of the potential to be a ton of crazy space fun in a more casual environment.

To each their own. But to me it is real bad. And let's not pretend that a game can't hang itself trying this kind of pvp change, it just happened with Halo.

Tried the demo and I could not have been more dissapointed. The game just seems so slow... character movement, cooldowns, everything just felt sluggish. I dropped off destiny 1 after release because of all of its problems and I remember it being way faster than this.

PvE feels bland as hell and they're going to hang it as well if they keep insisting on no difference in guns/abilities between the two.
