I neither fear, nor despise.
why do i get the feeling that, even if the game turns out super good, there won't be a single person on the forum who won't be a salty biased little bitch about it and hate it anyway
Because the tactics Bungie uses are still despicable. Like as good as the gameplay is, and it is (though that's never been the issue), I can't get over how shameless they are. They announced the 2 DLCs before showing gameplay of the base game.

I think what's going to happen is this:

Bungie cutting content then re-releasing it as DLC for destiny 1 was a result of development troubles. Any DLC for Destiny 2 will be the same, cut content, however it will be cut intentionally rather than due to development constraints.

They saw how much money it printed, no stopping it now.

They were pretty much working on Destiny for 5 years. That's plenty of time of make a game filled with shit tons of content at release instead of cutting it.

I'm definitely not defending it at all, but from all the info we got about destiny's development, they basically changed everything a bit too close to launch then had to catch up, which meant cuts.

They went through major turmoil a year or so before release and scrambled to make it work with what they had. That being said, in my mind they went wrong with charging people for what was already in the game.

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
Played it some.

Feels like destiny. Which is fine since Destiny's gunplay is great, there just needs to be no shortage of content this time around. You would think they'd have more time to work on content and lore for the game seeing as how they didn't have to create a new engine again, but I'm not holding my breath for much more than what was in the first game at launch.

Seriously. I couldn't see any point in differentiating energy and kinetic weapons from the demo. And shotguns and snipers are heavy weapons because they couldn't figure out how to balance them for the shitty pvp? C'mon.

they just need to accept that the pvp for destiny will never be good and destiny will never become an e-sport. i don't think they will though since e-sports are all the rage right now and everyone wants a piece of that pie.

This beta build is several months old and is just a server test.

Most of people's complaints have already been addressed.

I like it.

I usually used a sidearm to mow through shields, and elemental primaries have always been coveted, but really unbalanced in PvE, especially with modifiers. This usually results in your favorite loadout being useless in some situations, and god tier in others, or forced you to use an elemental primary you hated just for the burn.

I was not a fan of the Zhalo Supercell, but it was hands down the best weapon in Arc Burn, even before Fatebringer was useless. Though, now that Fatebringer is back, the Supercell isn't just plain the ONLY option.

Displacing the amount that these weapons can be used by moving them to the special slot will create some interesting PvE, and considering how much I even used my Sniper or Shotgun when I had them equipped, plus how weak they were in the special slot for PvE, moving them into heavy and giving them a nice PvE buff should be awesome.

Not to mention I almost absolutely never touched my heavy slot.

Ultimately a lot of these changes seem to be geared toward more casual players wanting to enjoy PvE, and I'm okay with that.

I agree. I really liked that we now have a more consistant and stable mode of elemental damage output.

Snipers becoming heavies is a good thing as well, but as for Fusion Rifles and shotguns there's certainly a problem there in regards to their viability going forward.

Well, yeah when you think about it most of what they originally planned was pushed back or scrapped and they just shat out Destiny 1, so its likely 2 is going to be closer to what the first was meant to be like in terms of story and area

For a game that took 5 years to develop it sure did have a severe lack of content at launch. It wouldn't surprise me if D2 was built on many of those unused assets. Explains how they were able to produce it so quickly.

I'm willing to bet there's even more they have stowed away. Even some of D2s concept art shows places like Europa/Enceladus, which we already know won't be in vanilla.
