I am finally deciding to play something other than FFXIV for once. Anybody has comments about the game? I am giving it a try.

I got overwhelmed. Until they simplify it to the point where I can jump into the story and learn what everything is and does like they used to, I'm not coming back. There's entirely too much going on and available to just jump into the game, I'm paralyzed by the monumental amount of things to do. And without a clear guide, aka the story, I'm not even sure where to begin with this game at the moment.

Have you tried it? There's like 10 planets. And with no story its not clear where to go or what to do or why. I played it for like 5-6 hours when it was free on PS plus then stopped. There's no way point right now for me, no objective, no nothing. The game isn't telling me what to do at all. Destiny reddit and message board is full of threads saying how stupid it was for bungie to roll out the free version the way they did because of it.

If you want story you have to buy one of the expansions. Either Shadow Keep(current) or Forsaken. I bought Shadow Keep. You just go there(moon) and start the quest there. It seemed pretty simple to me.

go to your quest tab and do what the new light quest tells you to do

or if you want to start from the first mission of the base game campaign go to amanda holliday in the hangar at the tower and pick up the campaign quests

The fact that I had to Google how to start the campaign is an issue in itself, how do you not see that? Plus everything in this article :

https://www.usgamer.net/articles/destiny-2-shadowkeep-has-onboarding-problem-returning-players

How can you not see the obvious issues with players who only put in a few hours or those who put in none at all? How were we supposed to know any of this without looking it up or walking around blind until we stumbled on it?

I get bungie should of did better for f2p maybe, but if you buy something like shadowkeep then are clueless what to do. Well that is on you. You should of read the description of the dlc you bought. It straight up tells you it's all about the moon.

I didn't buy shadow keep or any dlc. This is just the free content they have for everybody to use which is the base game and the year one content.

If you haven't played The Red War questline yet, do that, it was the original Destiny 2 campaign. If no quest marker is showing up, select it in your quest log to start tracking it.

nothing in Destiny is explained to you. Ever. Not the "post"game. Not the quests. And now not even the story mode. You're better off reaching out to the community for guides or inquiries. Has since been this way since 1. No shits are given. Every flavor for every quest might as well say "Fuck You".

Shooting aliens and space magick is fun though.

It's not really different at all. If you didn't like it being DLC based. Well it still is. If you didn't like the microtranscation. It still has them. Really nothing changed other than Activision didn't want to spend anymore money on the series.

but then i heard that Destiny 2 is less looter-shooter and more MMORPG with guns. and i hate MMORPGs. so i dunno if i wanna check it out anymore.
It's not mmo at all. It's shooter looter through and through. You run into people out in the world, but you don't do much with them. Most people you need is 6 for raid dungeons.

To some extent I get why people are annoyed that the game doesn't hold your hand much at all. There is very little explanation on how to find/do the "story" missions. But to be honest, all it takes is a little investigation in-game. I picked it up when it went F2P and was very lost for the first couple days and didn't really know what to do. And then I randomly went to the tower to pick up a couple bounties from the gunsmith and realized I hadn't actually explored the tower at all. So I just figured "what the hell, I'll just go talk to all the important people labeled on the map and see what they do." Found that holliday chick in the hangar and bam, I've suddenly got direction.

Basically, they don't hold your hand because they assume you will go talk to all the NPCs. Which really isn't that big of an assumption, tbh. That's just generally a good idea in most games, and I'm kind of ashamed of the fact that it took me 3 days to do that when I'm normally very thorough when it comes to talking to NPCs in games. So honestly, I feel like my initial confusion is thoroughly my own fault.

Bought both Forsaken and Shadow Keep yesterday because I'm enjoying the game a ton. And now that they've split from Activision and seem to be trying to make the game they wanted to make from the beginning, I'm more than happy to support them. Destiny 1 was such an amazing experience before Activision decided to force Bungie to tell the playerbase to go fuck themselves. I'm very glad to be able to go back to the series now that it's in proper hands. The gunplay is just so damn satisfying.

its pretty straight-forward and it even tells you how to look at your quests and track them and how to do them/follow waypoints and stuff...you just keep doing that
The only thing that isnt very straightforward are the raids. but theyre mostly puzzles so you have to figure them out yourself
And I can understand its can be a bit tricky for new people because they dont understand how light levels, nightfalls, perks etc work right off the bat but you learn those as you play

I've been dabbling and I'm having fun. Keep hearing good things.

Sure seems like a fuckton of free content. I've got a huge amount of shit to do before I consider the expansion. The gunplay is insanely tight for sure. I do think they should've had something in-game pointing you to Amanda Holliday for the previous campaign stuff, that was one I had to google and would've been a bit obtuse to find on my own. The rest I think has so far been fairly simple, but I'm only a couple hours in. I'm gonna keep doing the New Light questline to get familiarized and then run the campaigns, then probably buy Forsaken if I'm still having fun, then Shadowkeep, etc

I still need to learn how the game works. I just learned about bounties.

From what it looks like, the game overall is just an interactive game with different multiplayer modes. No story.

Is there shop where I can buy weapons or is it solely from drops?

there's absolutely a story, go to the hangar in the tower and talk to amanda holliday to start the destiny 2 base game story

the red war is the base game, followed by curse of osiris then warmind, then if you buy them forsaken comes next then shadowkeep is the latest

The Store tab in game has all the campaigns you do and don't own in the square with the star and feathers. Amanda Holliday in the tower starts the Red War or vanilla storyline. She also starts Curse of Osiris and Warmind campaigns.

If it's green or blue, it has a static roll and you can open up your menu and go to collections -> weapons to draw it back for 20 light lower than your average light with highest gear. Purples/legendary can be static if year 1 and be reacquired as above. If it's purple/legendary and has random rolls, it can't be pulled from the collection's tab and it will say can't be acquired if you were to try and pull out of collections. Save your purples in your vault for now, might have a random roll that is worth saving

Some weapons are considered world drops where they are in numerous loot pools. Others are available from certain activities or vendors like Devrim Kay on EDZ sells a set Year 1 weapon a day and the armor set once you have ranked up enough times. Most planetary vendors act this way. Strikes/Crucible/Gambit have their own loot pool and a chance for additional drops from the world loot pool.

If there is a weapon archetype you like, I can give more information on what is good perk wise. Majority of your weapons will fall under blues from drops from chests or defeating enemies. Some quests give gear as rewards.
