fair enough (Destiny)

Maybe, Bungie definitely values the mystery they're packing into Destiny. There are plenty of things that they're iterating on/designing that require hands on experience to judge/comment on. Learning the rate of fire for the Thunderlord without having played the game would be a bizarre vacuum to process that information.

It's the vacuum I'm talking about. There are so many unknowns related to things like: how will your damage and health be affected by gear, how much will stats play a part in whether your shots hit, and a myriad more besides.

I imagine the Beta will be a massive engagement with the community. I also don't perceive Bungie's tone as evasive, just controlled.

I think when I used that word I was casting my mind back to a Q&A session where they repeatedly said 'we're not talking about that today.' Possibly a little unfair, but it kind of set the tone for me.
