I wish the levels actually meant something. It's just weird seeing level 20, 25, and 30's walking around when it would be more interesting (and practical) to see their light level

So I got this game as part of the Humble Bundle. Put a few hours into it and now I'm left wondering why I want to continue playing it. What are some of the cool things to do as a lowbie? These adventure missions or whatever are boring as gently caress, the public missions are pretty neat (when there's other people around to do them). Outside of that I don't see anything else to do. What am I missing?

As the above page says over and over, find a group to play this game with. It sucks on your own. Find some cool people to do pvp, run nightfalls and strikes, do raids and generally gently caress around.

I don't think I'd really care for PVP in this game. What are nightfalls and strikes? How to I get to them? Same for Raids I guess. I'm assuming these are high level things to do? I was kinda wondering what low level stuff there is to do other than running around in an open zone aimlessly shooting things. In the few hours I've played it basically boils down to feeling like I'm playing the bastard child of Warframe or something. Starting to think that I should probably just play something else since after 8 hours of play I do not feel compelled to login and play.

Nightfalls and strikes are basically 3 man dungeons, raids become available from power level... 270 iirc? PVP is a matter of taste, but becomes better with people you like.

Have you been doing the Red War story missions? Because just running around doing Public Events is actually boring as gently caress and will take you forever to get to level enough to get to multi-player content. Though I love the vanllia campaign and just beat it again for the second time. But, yeah, if you aren't feeling it after several hours - and been doing more than Public Events and just shooting things in the patrol space - maybe this isn't the game for you. And that's fine, you gave it enough of a fair shake thay hopefully you feel like you didn't waste your money.

Yeah I've done a bunch of the red missions and some of those orange missions (adventures)? Super dry, boring poo poo for me unfortunately  Nothing really stuck. The cost was 10 bucks and it came with a bunch of other games so no real loss here at all. Got 8 hours of some entertainment  On a side note it did make me start playing Battlefield again  I'll probably but a few more hours into it before I free up that drive space.

If you don't find a group to run strikes and raids with, this game is not for you imo.

That's like playing WoW or Diablo to level 47 and then quitting. If you're not having fun then quitting is the right choice if you're not making money on it, but be aware that you're pretty much missing out on the majority of the game.

If you don't find shooting mans in the head satisfying, this game is probably not for you yeah. There's a lot of head clicking, with some ball touching and running and jumping for diversity in the raids.

so this game is available pretty cheaply now due to its various missteps I love the vibe/premise/aesthetic of this franchise, and enjoyed the first game (which I played at the end of its life cycle, after it got good) enough that I will probably give this a shot at some point should I get it now while it's cheap, or wait for the deluxe bundle Bungie will inevitably release once they do a big Taken King-type expansion I played every halo game pretty extensively and thus can probably be classed as a general Bungie shootmans fan

PupsOfWar posted:so this game is available pretty cheaply now due to its various missteps Come play. September is when most of us are going to sound the alarm of “you better return to this game because now the game is officially out” but this last expansion moved the game in a better direction. Verdict: Yeah, come play for cheap. Still on the fence?: September is when we all pile back in 100%. Even the goons who left after release...you’re coming back!

Also, if anybody here does Humble Bundle Monthly, already owns the game and doesn’t want to sell their Destiny 2 key, I have and know plenty of goons who we could introduce the game to. If you want your key to go to a good home, I’ll take it and let you know what goon I give it to. I already gave mine away to stuntrock because we are friends. Just throwing this out there—would love to have even more goons come play and hopefully stick around.

This game is indeed a lot more fun with an active group. Last week I did Leviathan and Eater of Worlds for the first time. Did EoW again today, all with goons. Both times were a blast. I can't say Destiny 2 is as good as Destiny 1, it isn't buuuttt the go-faster update was a great change and Warmind was waayyyy better than the Wet Shart of Osiris. Hopefully things keep improving. Edit: saying this because anyone having not good times playing solo should play with goons doctor 7 fucked around with this message at 23:00 on May 28, 2018 |

Elysiume posted:What exactly is being done in the much-vaunted September update? Who knows. But the April? May? I can't remember tbh. The go-faster update seriously reduced the ability timers across the board for everything. The masterworks weapons add the ability to generate light orbs on double kills, so now your supers recharge faster in addition to going from the initial 7+ minute cooldown to only 5 minutes. Shorter with masterwork orb pickup. It was a huge step in the right direction and general consensus is at least Destiny to is heading between dead-game (because devs have no idea what their base wants) and potentially being good enough to warrant a purchase now. Rather than straight ahead for dead-rear end-game as it was tanking very, very hard, and deservedly so. Destiny 1 kind of went through the same process and eventually with The Taken King Destiny 1 loving soared from "it's a good time waster" to "this is really loving good." People are hopefully Destiny 2 has resumed this trend. But it still boggles the mind how much they poo poo the loving bed with D2. Everything they learned, even stuff they learned the hard way, seemed like it was thrown out and they just learned hard into the whole "whatever people will play it because it is Destiny/Bungie."

Everything they learned, even stuff they learned the hard way, seemed like it was thrown out and they just learned hard into the whole "whatever people will play it because it is Destiny/Bungie." Watching the reveal today in the light of what year one has been, you can see exactly where that poo poo came from. They over-corrected HARD towards accessibility. One of the first things Luke Smith brings up in his intro to D2 is the fact that 50% of destiny players that have reached the level cap have completed at least one raid once. Which sounds great, but, if you're gonna spend time and resources on something, you really want more than half of all people that play your game to see it. And that means making sure that it's a formality to get raid ready, so the climb to max Light becomes so easy as to become meaningless. Same principle applies to crucible. People complained it's hard to follow, so they jack up the cooldowns and the TTK, they make it so one gun can only ever be that one gun, and that results in the incredibly dull state of 4v4. So on and so forth, they throw the baby out with the bathwater, and now they're trying to find out how they can fill the tub again.

Got sherpa'd through Leviathan with some goons today and had a blast. Highly recommend. Also learned my new PC case has no USB 2.0 ports and 3.0 doesn't support my headset mic. Fun times.
