What an ISNANELY GOOD video for beginners or returning players! Love the detailed break down, you left very little unexplained, or underinformed. I'm absolutely going to recommend this video to my friends whenever they get on D2 with me. Great job!
I'm a returning player and I was quite confused on what was going on in Destiny 2. Thanks to your video, it helped me a lot get into the game. I miss the old stuff and DLC tho...
@@ami443I also like having content I payed hundreds of dollars for. I have spent a combined 140 dollars on d2. I have none of the campaigns i payed for.
I played a lot of Destiny when the Taken King came out. I was about 10 years old. I'm returning to Destiny 2 almost 9 years later, and although I'm having fun, I need to fully understand the game, because a lot has changed.
@@muaadhgilani9740 I can confirm what every review under the sun says, the writing of the Light fall campaign really is cringe worthy and disheartening. The new seasonal activity isn't great imho. That being said, Strand is a blast, and the game is filled to the brim with content that is new to me. Besides just as I come back without a clan, the game introduces the party finder feature. So far so good for me. Last time I played, was the Witch Queen campaign. That was the best time, on par with the Taken King.
I played this game when it was still in Beta. I remember when Xur first spawned, I remember the first new Exotic that dropped post-release (Rat something, it was a pistol), and I remember watching the video of the first team ever to beat the first raid. I just came back today on a different platform and felt completely lost. Thank you for the guide!
I was doing a good job keeping up. Then around loot sectors my mind was getting overwhlemed. It's mad how much they have in this game. Good job covering all this
THANK YOU! I was completely lost when I decided to try the game on my PS5, overwhelmed by the complexity of the menu, lore and system, but it's starting to grow on me now :)
No profit in letting you keep the stuff you bought already when they can recycle and resell it too you. What a strange thought buying and owning something 😐
@TheTURKISHDELIGHT98 I don't care. I paid 200$, and I don't have the 200$ worth of content... I bought the game 2 times the disc and then digital. Plus the first 3 dlc and the pre order bonus
@TheTURKISHDELIGHT98 im down for that if I get all the old shit. I started season 20 and I would love all of the old content I heard that forsaken was really good it's sad I can't play it.
@TheTURKISHDELIGHT98 not if they just made the game next gen only. they cpuld re ass all content and locations even all the stuff from D1 and it would only be like 100 on a solid state drive.
Man this was exactly the video I was looking for! Took a break after Shadowkeep and just yesterday got back into it again after the recent HumbleBundle where you get all the other DLCs for like 40 bucks. Logging in yesterday for the 1st time in so long truly was terrifying. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and nearly rage-quit out of the game again because my anxiety was at an all-time high because of it lol. After this video, I finally feel ready again to hop back in today! All of a sudden the game does not seem so overwhelming anymore for a returning player. Thanks a ton!
Out of the blue a couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend asked if we could play d2 together. Obviously I said yes, and I could barely contain my excitement, but I also knew that it would probably be overwhelming for her to try and get stuck in. Hell, it's overwhelming for me when I miss a season and I've been playing since launch. This video is unbelievably well put together and comprehensive, and it provides detailed explanations without going off the rails (as I am wont to do). It covers so much in only half an hour, and the structure, pacing, and style make it easy to watch in one sitting. And once you've watched it, you can come back and jump around or rewatch sections as you learn and explore the game. Amazing, amazing resource, thank you so much for all the time and effort that went into it.
This helped a lot I just returned after 5 years and it’s like I am learning all over again. Also didn’t know they removed red war and most of forsaken that was disappointing but am loving everything I missed!
Great video with a good overview of classes/subclasses and game systems for new players. Gonna cram it down all my friends throats until they pick the game up!
Really thanks with this, I'm the type of player who play on a longer period. I'm more into story or campaign games, But I find destiny worth my time since it has story progression.
This video came at a wonderful time, i had 1400h in destiny 2 when i stopped playing back in season of the splicer, got back into the game 2 weeks ago and there's a lot of different things!
i used to play d2 religiously from launch until shadow keep and just returning now, it does feel a bit overwhelming but this video has been great to catch up.
The gunplay and setting is the reason why i give it another try. It's rough to get into it again. Played it at release half way through. I just wish i could play the main campaign again to get into it in a enjoyable way.
This is by far the most informative video I have ever seen for Destiny 2. This will be the video I send to my friends who now want to play D2, extremely well done!
I love destiny so much!❤ I’ve been playing it with my friend he has been playing for a month while I played for like around 1-2 months and can I say WOW
Hello, I just wanted to say thanks a lot for this great video. Although I am not completely new to Destiny 2, I am still pretty inexperienced, and there is a lot of great info in here. Destiny 2 can be really overwhelming, with its myriad options and menus. Frankly, it can easily turn you off to the entire experience. It's too bad because at its core, the game is really fun, controls well, and looks gorgeous. With a little understanding and time, you will find a very entertaining, deep game. Thanks again for your hard work!
Agreed! This game is hard to understand, no matter how much we learn they keep adding more which makes players end up quitting cause the game is to far ahead
@@wildhunter5920 yh I'm starting to regret this game. Got the dlc's and stuff. This was around £50 but I got it for a discount. But still. And now I'm just SOOO confused like what is this game?!
@@jameschristopher2540 its kind of a similar freeform concept. If you dont like open world sandbox games then it makes sense you might not like d2 because they dont do the guided story or immersive gameplay very well. Its not really designed for that in my opinion. They focus on fun platforming and gunplay while you’re going through a mission and most of the storytelling happens through exposition and lorebooks.
im a very good destiny player and still found a few of these tips helpfull and definitly recomend it to new players allthough it is a little outdated. :)
This is, so good. If only the game did a good job telling us any of this. I just started a few days ago and this is so damn helpful. So good man, thank you.
This was a great video, im returning player and i can see that ive done so wrong by just wasting my time and effort and my loot in this game but this guide will help me alot
Really wanted to start playing again. I havent played in about 2 years. So just the thought of having to play all these hours to build back ul was a little daunting. This helped out a lot!!! Now just have to decide if i want to spend all the money on all the DLCs i missed out on 😅
I am in the same boat. Just downloaded again since forsaken dlc. Basically just spending more time in the menu clicking on flashing buttons and trying to reach the point where I need the dlcs
The most beautiful game in the world 💯🦴🙏🏼✌🏼 Also the only one that I've played for one year 24/7 and than I had enough, but I came back and did the same again. Played it on a Playstation 4, and know I don't have a console but hunger to dive in those worlds again 🙏🏼
Warlocks are really op with void/solar with the healing circles. You can tank 20-30 enemies without loosing health. I often tend to use it with riskrunner since the conductor means you can just hold down the fire button forever 😂 Also im kinda at an issue. I need to get powerful/exotic gear but I cant do any online stuff since i dont have ps+
For the new players, there’s also many other content creators for just about anything you need. There are others but these are a good start. Lore and story: My Name Is Byf and Evaze Numbers and end game PvE strategy: Datto PvP tips and weapon reviews: Fallout Plays and CoolGuy News and community: Aztecross, xHoundishx and evanf1997
Ive been plaging since the d1 beta but im herr to watch this because my daughter and wife jist started playing and i dont know how to help them because i only do endgame stuff now so this was a great help for me and them
seems the best way to power up your gear drops is to have your highest power weapon for each slot in your vault? then it doesn't matter which character you play? IS that right? great vid, i think I need to watch it a few times :D
So it doesn’t matter where the weapon is, it could be on any character and the games knows you have it so it will calculate your drops like you had it equipped
its clear you took alot of this from last years video as at 17 minutes you have a text prompt that says "skip to 10:50 to see leveling section" and when I got to last years video, 10:50 is the zigzag levelling segment
Travolta meme is literally me. I just started today and they keep telling me about some ingram. I have no idea what that is lol. Gonna watch the whole video 👍
What I’d like guidance on is this: I haven’t played since forsaken. I haven’t a clue what’s relevant or irrelevant to purchase as far as expansions go.
last time i played was before the forsaken campaign was “deleted” i just came and i was so confused, forgot everything, and didn’t even receive much help for the game considering i was somehow guardian rank six.
Best guide so far. Im still trying to wrap my head around the fact im lvl 6 on pc instead of lvl 1 first time playing. is it because i purchased lightfall?
i only have 1 character and i dont have the time or patience to make another. hunter all day, they are so cool. although i kinda disagree with what you said about solar hunters being slow. just run in throwing solar knives and ignite half a room with a solar weapon and solar grenades
Can you explain what you’re on about at 17:20? You said “now transfer your items to your second character” and then 3 seconds later “you don’t need to transfer your items” and then another 15 seconds later “now transfer your items to the third character” are we transferring items or no??
You don’t have to actually transfer, it’s a bit unclear. I just meant that your weapons are already higher from the first character and you can use them on the second if you’d like to, but don’t need to

@@muaadhgilani9740 I can confirm what every review under the sun says, the writing of the Light fall campaign really is cringe worthy and disheartening. The new seasonal activity isn't great imho.
