Something no one is talking about, lack of control over your character.
Compared to Destiny 1, things are a bit slower and less precise in the Beta in terms of movement. It feels like blink is a bit better maybe, and maybe the hunter jumps too. With how the enemies are a bit more aggressive in the strike but the movement is similar or worse, you have to rely more on staying in cover which is really lame. In PVE the enemies can be more difficult while still being fun if we have faster and more complex movement, and in PVP the skill ceiling can be higher as well.
Aside from addressing the apparent downgrade there, I think we should take it a step further and compare it to other games. I would love to see a dedicated dodge button for all the classes, instead of having to press crouch twice which takes longer and is less instinctive with a lot of potential errors. As well, it would be ideal if it could be quicker and more instant, maybe closer to a teleport so you aren't stuck in the animation for so long. Think Dark Souls or like a mini grounded blink.
This is all a huge part of what holds me back from playing this game way more. I used to play it a lot but it's not as speedy as a lot of other games so you have a lot less power with the movement and things can't be as cool as they can be in other games.
Anyway, I've had a lot of people just say that I should play another game and stop trying to change Destiny but that's totally backwards logic; being that Destiny is meant to be shaped and perfected... so hopefully since everyone has become more active and open to change that some people might actually agree and it gain traction for once.
