    Hello from the future! 2024 is meh.
    Okay so, you don’t have to buy the Bungie 30th anniversary for the BXR BUT there are some guns that are “pay to win,” just not THAT gun 😆 that’s why I put it in “quotes”

      I was highly sure you didn't have to buy the DLC, as I still played quite a lot of Dares of Eternity and opened the main chest and got loads of it, plus a really overpowered sword I later learned was a god roll.

But I must honestly say that this video is one of the best I've seen so far when it comes to explaining the game to new players. Good work.

    Destiny 2’s free-to-play experience is really more of a demo in my experience.
    There’s a lot of fun content for new players, and playing through it is a good way to see if you actually want to invest in the game. If you enjoyed the free-to-play content, here’s my suggestion on what expansions to get in what order.
    1.) *Lightfall:* It’s D2’s newest annual dlc. It comes with a new campaign, a new destination, a new subclass, a raid, new strikes, lots of new gear and more.
    2. *Witchqueen:* This expansion is a lot like Lightfall in terms of the amount of content you get. There’s a great campaign, a new patrol space, strikes, a raid, and cool gear.
    3. *Beyond Light:* This one is solid and adds the same types of content. The campaign for this dlc is pretty good. The biggest buying point for this expansion is *Stasis,* a new ice themed subclass.
    4. *Shadowkeep:* This dlc is mediocre if I’m being honest. It’s much older than the others, Bungie hadn’t yet settled into their current style. It’s campaign feels like a prolonged list of chores, rather than a collection of cool story missions.
    There are other dlc’s too that include different pieces of content.
    The *30th Anniversary Bundle* grants you access to a pirate themed dungeon and a host of reprised Destiny 1 weapons (including a powerful exotic rocket launcher).
    The *Forsaken Pack* unlocks a bunch of exotic weapons, includes a dungeon and really cool raid.
    The *Season Pass/Annual Pass* allows you to play through seasonal content. Each season there’s a new story with unique missions, quests, activities, and loot.
    Annnd the *Dungeon Key.* Buying this grants you access to 2 new dungeons that Bungie releases each year going forward. In March, there’ll probably be another one.
    Hope this comment was helpful.

For me its the perfect balance of feeling grindy enough I always feel like I am working towards something without me feeling guilty for putting it down, phenomenally customizable both from a build crafty standpoint and a ascetic one and the story having so much depth and lore behind it.

    You get Treasure Keys for playing Dares of Eternity, and you can use them at Xur's Treasure Hold to get for example the BXR Battler. The 30th Anniversary expansion is just for the Dungeon and the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher, which might be meta in the next big expansion: LIGHTFALL.

    Me and my brothers are all separated geographically now, across countries, but we all bonded on this game over lockdown. And now it's probably one of the greatest gaming experiences we've had of all time. There's nothing like going thru dungeons and raids with buddies in this game. Also, no other game developer makes Handcannons feel good like this game can. The sights and sounds are an experience, guns shoot gud which makes up for all its problems.
    But you're absolutely right, the fun in this game is directly proportional to how many friends you have. Playing this game solo is just not the way and you will hate it if you do.

Oh yeah and if you go to the Eververse store you can find and buy a Year 1 Shader pack for Glimmer.

  • @AMV796
    @AMV796 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another thing to mention, there is a soft power and hard power cap every season, before i quit, every new guardian started at 1100, and it takes a little bit of grind to get to 1270 (the soft cap), after getting to the soft cap, every gear drop will no longer drop at 20 something levels above your current power, something that commonly occurs on the way from 1100 to power. After getting to the soft cap, you will have to start looking for specific daily or weekly objectives that will grant powerful or pinnacle gear, this will all be listed on the mission select screen with all the different planets and locations. Once you start getting to the hard cap, i think it was around 1320 power at the time, only pinnacles will grant you higher power. Each power cap will greatly slow down the rate of which you gain higher light levels, thus creating a very tedious "grind" for all players to go through once they pass a certain power level. Every new season raises the base power, soft cap, and hard cap by a certain amount, Currently i think the starting power is 1600, soft cap is 1750, and hard cap is 1810? I'm not quite sure. Also a helpful thing to note that Macro left out, grinding up new classes to be on par with classes you have already leveled up is not as tedious as it seems, yes the vault exists, but that can only be used to share weapons, as each class has their own unique sets of armor pieces. However, there is a way Bungie makes the process a lot easier. For example, is your Warlock was at 1790 power level, and you create a Titan, every gear drop you receive until you get to 1790 will be far higher than your current light level, basically the same as grinding from base power to the soft cap, except since you have one character leveled beyond the soft cap, the process goes much faster, your other character's power level basically becomes the new soft cap for the new class. Yet ANOTHER thing to mention, weapon and gear rolls. In the destiny 2 community, you'll hear the term "roll" a lot. This is referring to the magical dice of RNG every weapon drops with. Basically, a roll is a set of perks that the weapon can receive, most legendary weapons get 4 perks, and each perk corresponds to a different part of the weapon. For example, an Auto Rifle can drop with perks for Stocks, Barrels, Magazines, and other stuff, a really good combination of perks generally favoured by most of the community is called a god roll, you can check a lot of different videos and websites to find out what a godroll is, and generally which perks are better than others. Yes, this also means that the same exact weapon can drop with different perks, meaning if you get a "good" weapon based on its stats, the roll might not be favorable, causing a lot of frustration for many. The same applies for armor, with rolls not granting perks but rather stat rolls. The stats in destiny 2 are Mobility, Resilience, Intelligence, Recovery, Discipline, and Strength. Some are self explanatory, some are not. Mobility is how fast you run and how far and high you jump, resilience is basically how much health you have, recovery is how fast you regain health, intelligence is how fast your super ability charges, discipline is how fast your grenade recharges, and strength is how fast your melee ability recharges. Each class also has its own "Class ability, hunters get a roll that has utility, warlocks get a circle on the ground that can heal you or increase your damage, and titans get a shield they place on the ground, the speed of which these class abilities recharge is also based on stats, hunters get faster roll recharge with a higher mobility stat, warlocks with a higher recovery stat, and titans with a higher resilience stat. You can tweak these stats to match what kind of playstyle you have, and good armor rolls are rolls that give stat points to the category you want them to be in. You can also artificially add these points with armor mods and other things. These points contribute to a scale of 1-10, if I have 10 mobility points, my mobility level is 1, if i have 20, its 2, if I have 30, its 3, and so on until 100 points, making 10. Nothing will actually change to your guardian if the stat points do not achieve a higher number on the scale, for example if I have 76 mobility points, the actual power of that number on the scale will still be 7, same with 89, it'll be 8, the number only affects your character if it breaks the 10 points required to raise it to a higher number on the scale. This all sounds stupidly confusing, and that is simply because it is. Without the help of experienced players and friends, Destiny 2 is basically a mess of words that you don't understand and stats you don't care about. I think that is the reason a lot of players get turned away and alienated from the game. Anyways, I hope this verbal vomit of information helps, good luck guardian.

I can't even deny the issues with the game. But theres something about it that will always keep me coming back for more. I feel like 99% of the player base are people who have already been playing for years, and I'm honestly impressed you became addicted without having tried it before. Its definitely a gamers game, but I like games like that as a fan of MMO's AND shooters. And I also totally agree that having people to play with make it 10x more enjoyable. Its possible to have a good time playing solo, but the game wasn't designed with solo play in mind.
