Reading this was a mistake because it never occurred to me. Now I'm looking at controller options
It really is great as I can't stand pushing in on the stick to sprint. It becomes second nature and incredibly fluid. I'm convinced I have escaped death in both PvE and PvP a ton because of the increased ease-of-mobility with my Hunter in combination of gear/sub-class and Elite Controller setup.

I don't like using 4 paddles with the elite, the weak grip puts strain on my hands. I put the two small paddles on the top left/right spots and that's usually enough so that I can almost always keep my thumbs on the analogs.
For Destiny I'd probably make right paddle jump, left paddle duck/slide. It's all about making mobility easier. Bumper jumper controls are okay, but they often move necessary stuff to the face buttons.

First it's less abuse on your stick
Second with Destiny I had a nasty habit of pressing in l3 to run and then stop to aim and shoot and my gun would jam, there would be a animation hiccup almost. That stopped happening when I had a dedicated run button.
Third....It just feels better when playing, one less input. Guess you can't really experience it until you try it but it just feels great.
Right now my set up is
Top Left Small Paddle - jump
Bottom left - sprint
Top right reload/revive
Bottom right - slide/crouch
A button press is so much more effortless and fluid. I switch it in every game that let's me.
Paddles are faster and it also means you don't wear your left stick down.

Age of Triumph goes live now, if something were to pop off today it would be in the next hour.

Either way it's coming this week. Even if we don't get anything today. You don't ship out all the early pre-order bonuses (Cayde-6, Poster) unless reveal / pre-orders are imminent

Bungie usually has a weekly update on their website every Thursday so I imagine we wont hear anything until then.

Makes sense. CG "story" trailer this week. Gameplay reveal / press previews next month

Some actual content and not time gating it or it can piss off.

Think I'm going to start a new psn account for destiny 2, I want a fresh slate for friends list and stuff. I have 300 people alone from lfg sites

Mine are Sprint, reload/revive, jump, slide/crouch. In PvP, I kept stress-clench-sprint-dying until I got the Elite and moved LS to the paddle.
The game might be content complete at this point, no? I feel that this bodes well. Hopefully preview coverage consists of a couple missions.
Just delete people. You'd lose all the free games otherwise.

Well I mean the live team can only do so much. I thought they did a great job all things considered.

That was my problem, panic sprinting

Games I never play, I'll still have that account on the system I just won't activate psn on that one anymore. It takes too long to delete people, If there was a select all it would make life easier.
Also hate my psn id and want a new one.
I hope the press is savage. After the D1 launch, D2 deserves no benefit of the doubt on anything in any context.

The last expansion was built by the Live Team which is totally separate from the mainline Bungie team and obviously much smaller
Destiny didn't get 9s and 10s from critics, and there's not much you can be "savage" about in a confined playing environment. If you want critique, you'll get that once the press are actually playing the game along with everyone else at launch.
Not reviews, I meant extremely critical in their previews and not overly bubbly or soft expecting things that aren't great now to be smoothed out. I'm not sure reviews for this are going to matter at all unless it absolutely bombs.

Would you like to see the destiny franchise succeed?
I would like thoughtful and critical coverage of the second title in a franchise where the first game was an unfinished mess dropped on an unsuspecting playerbase. I don't think Bungie deserves the benefit of a doubt on anything anymore. My desire to see the franchise succeed or not is irrelevant - it's a ridiculous juggernaut and probably one of the top selling games this year. That said, why wouldn't I want the game to be good? I was hype for the first one and love loot games. Not wanting fawning media coverage is not analogous to wanting a game to fail.

You do realize over the last 3 years that the game has changed a lot since initial release correct?
It is kind of relevant, because it helps me determine if you are just here to be negative with every post in this thread regardless of how much effort they put into the game, or you're a fan that wants to see them do better.
I've played the game since release so I'm aware. I still think there's huge, fundamental issues with the game. I'm not sure it's essential to try and put someone in the fan/haterz dichotomy to respond to things they saying. I want a game that lives up to all the shit they promised and didn't deliver on with D1 and want people to have a better idea of what they're getting with this game. Nothing Bungie has done to D1 since release makes me want to give them the benefit of the doubt on anything.

The game you want doesn't exist, sorry
I don't know where your expectations are at. Part of the reason why they haven't been showing things sooner is because they learned lessons from the first game. They had ideas, some of them were announced prematurely
