Destiny 2 New Player Experience in 2024

  • What in the holy hell is going on with Destiny 2? As an outsider, I, a being devoidofskill, know that Destiny 2 exists and has been insanely influential in the live service gaming space, but I lack the critical knowledge for what the game entails.
    I first played the OG Destiny in 2014 on a playstation 4 that I then returned as I convinced my parents to let me build a computer instead. I played that original game for a few hours but remember nothing from it outside of some random interjections from the classic angry joe review.
    My initial experience with Destiny 2 was fairly similiar. Forsaken was on sale so I picked it up but only put in a 1 or 2 hours on battle.net. It came to steam a few years later as a free to play title and I tried to pick it up once more, but didn’t continue with it any further as I was just not interested in another live service title at that time.
    How, it is no longer 10 years later. We are here and the conclusion of the light and darkness saga arrives in just a few short months. In quite the paradox, I’ve heard both so much and so little about it, so I decided to pick up Destiny 2 and figure it out for myself.
    Now, without any further ado, here is my Destiny 2 new player free to play experience.

    How do you feel about Destiny 2 and this video?
    Also, apologies as there are a couple of weird audio glitches that kept on occuring everytime I rendered the video. I decided to cut my losses since they are fairly minor anyway.

      FYI - some huge parts of the story are in the DLCs or seasonal content that's not available any longer. Both Witchqueen and Lightfall campaigns have Legendary mode, so much harder. A lot of the difficult content is also in dungeons and raids - some of them should be available for free.
      Some large parts of the story that intrigue you are available only through RUclips videos because of sunsetting. A lot of content creators start out by doing reaction videos to them. You may want to look into videos like "Forsaken Campaign Full Walkthrough No Commentary". If you want to dig further into the huuuuge amount of material, you can start by going to "My Name is Byf" videos - he is the designated Destiny lore master/daddy. There are also a bunch of lore books in the game under the Collections tab. There are more lore books on the Ishtar Collective website (which is a searchable collection of the lore books and flavor text from the game).
      Note that exotic weapons and some armor pieces and legendary weapons have about a page of their own flavor text on them that you can see on the details tab. Sometimes that flavor text is connected to the weapon/armor piece, and sometimes it isn't.

    I find it funny the first exotic new players get is of all things Tractor Cannon. Like in general its an uncommon raid weapon. Not a open world / strike weapon. I feel something simple like Travelers Chosen should have been the starting exotic. Just a pistol that will help with ability regen whilst players learn the game. Riskrunner being the other possible first exotic if you skip the tractor cannon is weird since it is really meant for Arc builds. It kinda forces your hand if you actually want to use it properly when players should be experimenting.

    • @devoidofskill
      @devoidofskill  Месяц назад +2

      Yeah, I don't even think that would be too much of an issue if the game decided to explain how to use the weapons properly. At least they were pretty decent to use outside of the correct context they belonged in.

    The reason Osiris was so solemn when Rohan said that "not all of us have lives to spare" is because his ghost was killed sometime ago meaning he is no longer a guardian and can't be revived when killed. Also because his ghost was one of his closest friends and it reminded him of her death.

      Thanks for all the clarifications. Riven appearing as Mara to Uldren in order to kill Cayde is wild, and only leads me to wonder at why this was the case. I am a little confused about how individuals have different powers. I take it then to mean that you can wield the Light without a ghost? Or did Uldren use a different Awoken space magic? These questions are more so just general questions I'm asking and not ones you have to answer. I'm just appreciative of the mysteries actually making me puzzle together pieces of information.

    If you were trying to do the nightfall on this reset (04/16/2024-04/23/2024) then the nightfall rotator is on the neomuna nightfall strike. That is most likely why you "couldn't finish" the new light quest.

      @@devoidofskill the Shaw Han quest that ends in forced fast travel. 2 out of the three of them missed the prompt to fast travel and got stuck there for more than 15 minutes looking for an exit.
      They all have low fps experience (I would say Call of Duty Recruit difficulty level experience and skill level) and yet they all agreed that it was too easy in the new light quest. Now that they have come along and even completed the legendary witch queen campaign, after much struggle, they wished the game was harder at first to teach them better. (They haven't played dark souls, but I imagine they wanted a souls-esque school of hard knocks difficulty at the start, to motivate them to get better later).
      Ironically they Also got stuck on the nightfall quest as it is on Neomuna this week and they hadn't bought lightfall yet.
      Lastly I will mention that they feel very disconnected from the story. They read through the timeline and they pointed out red war and forsaken and really wanted to play through the story, but I had to explain how and *why?* the story was removed. It really sucks to hear that content that has been removed was better than what is available now (at least in some ways) and they feel it as well.
      There is more but these were 3 big ones that cane off the top of my head

    • @devoidofskill
      @devoidofskill  Месяц назад +2

      ​@@TsukiKhodar Yeah, the game was really insistant about the fast travel pop-up when I played, so its weird that it could glitch out that badly. Thinking about it, I almost missed the finisher pop-up, and that would have been disasterous.
      I was a little bit cautious about talking about how easy it was as while I'm not good, I do quite the number of hours in CS. It's good to know that even people with less experience in fps games found it easy at first. It definitely gives off the wrong first impression about how hard content can be in this game, as I have recently found out.
      Yeah, even as I'm going on to experience the campaigns of the newer DLC's, the way you access them allows for a lot of flexability, but it is quite confusing for a pretty linear campaign. I have no idea how Bungie thought removing content from their game made any sense.
      Thanks for taking the time to comment. I would ocncur that these are 3 of the biggest issues.

    As someone who started playing destiny 2 earlier this month and got the bundle free from epic game i have been enjoying the game, the storytelling is not the best for new player trying to explain everything important. into the light free content that's available is nice. One thing I did notice was that you didn't mention guardian rank at all it gives you fairly easy tasks to complete and turns harder with each rank up great video though. And just to mention this but i think you need to have the riskrunner unlocked before the first lightfall mission

      Yup, despite its issues, the gameplay foundation itself is incredibly solid. It will take a few episodes to get to it, but yeah, the new Into the Light content along with the Onslaught mode is pretty neat.
      You are right; I forgot to mention the Guardian Rank. Apparently, I completed some of the basic levels years ago, and so I was already at level 5. I looked at it, but I don't think there was anything relevant for me to do at that level just yet. This is a slight issue with not using a completely brand new account.
      I did unlock the Riskrunner in this video. Some other comments managed to clear up the fact that Nightfalls rotate, so some weeks you can access them as a free to player and other weeks you can't.
      I mean sure there are some grammatical errors, but when compared to the vast majority of other comments, your English is pretty good. I was able to understand all of your points and respond back to them, so it's clearly at a sufficient level. Thanks for watching!

    I think everyone can agree that the current state of the new player experience is a mess. Bungie HAS started to patch this, making it easier for new players to get into later content, adding starting kits and some such. But it does still have a long way to go, I honestly think the only reason they are even doing anything is that the execs finally let go of the money reins and are letting the devs ACTUALLY steer the game now.
    Still, you got it better than many newlights had it a few years back, my god what a nightmare it used to be, especially when you don't have a friend to guide you through the early game... =~='
    (btw, the nightfall isn't Lightfall dependent, its just on a weekly rotator, it just happened to be a strike from Lightfall this week :v)

    The reason Osiris is acting weird when he is told that not all of us have multiple lives is that in a previous season his ghost was killed by Savathun and he was abducted, put into a coma by her, and she impersonated him. So he HAD multiple lives, and this just reminds him that now he doesn't. There is a ton of story behind this, but it would be very hard to bring it across for a new player.
    As far as the Veil - nobody really knows what that thing is. That was a huge failure of the Lightfall season and everyone was pissed about it. The entire Lightfall season is a cluster and useless. If you are going to continue playing, I suggest you start and play through Witchqueen before Lightfall on legendary mode - Witchqueen has a *much* better story (and comes before Lightfall).

      That is indeed a pretty complex character detail that a new player would not pick up on. It makes me wonder why new players are even able to access this late stage content, rather than being streamlined a more understandable experience.
      It's funny that the Veil is never properly explained. I mean it is a MacGuffin, but it would be useful to know what exactly its purpose is. I'm working through the campaigns in order, so I should be a little bit more up to speed by the time I get to the Lightfall campaign proper.

      @@devoidofskill Some background is better than no background which is what we had for a long time for new players. There are probably a dozen hours of cutscenes alone that have been removed from the game. And you did find this hook intriguing, which is probably what they were going for. The D2 game is already huge - 100-150 GB. They are removing things to keep the game smaller and more contained.
      Note that a lot of the story (like who Osiris is, his backstory, how he was replaced, what that meant, etc.) was in seasonal content or sunset DLC content, so it is completely missing from the game. The only way to experience it is to watch play-throughs captured on RUclips. Many things were a huge surprise or only hinted at for the longest time, so you kind-of got spoiled on that. E.g. we me Prince Uldren in D1 where he was an ass, killed him in D2 Forsaken, and then he was dead for quite a while. Eventually we got a 10-second cutscene telling us that a ghost brought him back to life. After which people hated his guts for killing Cayde, even though the resurrection process results in a mindwipe, so he was a brand new person who didn't know why people kept beating him up and killing him. And then there were a couple of seasons (so 6-months-ish) where he was around but wearing a mask and in hiding.

      ​@@elimgarak1617 ​Oh, you know what, I hadn't ever even considered how much content gets created for seasons and then shelved. It's actually crazy to think about knowing that we're on season 23. You're right as in the game is already massive. I would think nowadays that's less of an issue, but I forgot that consoles still exist.
      Missing out on the mysteries as they build up is just something that I already accepted for projects that span multiple years. However, it is a shame that most of the cutscenes aren't watchable in-game. Unfortunately, having to use RUclips does add an additional layer of seperation.

    Wait someone who likes Gambit? Well you are a new light so you don't know the tragic tale of Gambit... Though if your more interested in the lore I would suggest looking into watching up on some of the lore-tubers like My name is Byf and Myelin Games (these two are the ones who sorta gave me a better idea about the lore of destiny though Myelin has sorta drifted away from destiny) and another youtuber named Evanf1997, he documented a *LOT* of destiny community history. Overall the game is pretty interesting but it also kinda sucks since the game does have it downfalls.

      PvEvP is a pretty interesting concept for a game mode, and I didn't encounter any glaring issues with it tbh.
      I am super interested in the lore, but right now I'm focused on experiencing the story through the game first. I'll definitely be checking out all the channels you mentioned at some point. Funnily enough, My name is Byf's newest video on why The Witness hates us has been stuck on my home screen the entire day. Bungie also released a new trailer, and it's been incredibly difficult to not click on either video.
      The game is a lot more interesting than I thought, and I have to give it credit where it's due. I have no doubt that I'll run into even more issues with the game, but so far it has been more positive than negative, which is a good thing for me at the very least.

Just summarizing the event without much analysis is indeed an issue, but it is a little hard to have anything to say when you are just figuring out what is happening. The Witness rant stemmed from me trying to put together whatever symbolism Bungie is going for. It is a bit out of place, but I tried to make it a bit humorous as well.

I'll have some quests in the game where I have no idea where they are and spend extra hours on RUclips to know where to go. This is not new player-friendly at all, without RUclips or playing the old games or DLC, new players are lost. I spent hours on getting Lament Sword and I DON'T EVEN USE IT.
