Hey guys!
For a bit more context:
I played A LOT of Destiny a couple years ago, up until the forsaken DLC (and a teeny tiny bit of the annual pass, wasn’t really my cup of tea). I dropped the game hard due to bungie sunsetting content - something I entirely despise (and still do to this day). Gotta fuel my gaming addiction tho and after playing some similar games recently, I got the old itch again…
I used to be a pretty casual-PvE player, only raid I completed was the Last Wish. I enjoyed the story missions and just grinding on strikes/nightfalls, sometimes I even enjoyed gambit (shocker, I know) and just vibing in patrol and doing public events. Getting gear and exotics, upgrading them, completing bounties, etc.
Is this all still feasible at the moment? Will I miss out on epic stuff if I wait on buying the latest dlc (what I know of Prisma does sound pretty cool) or the episodes (like hell I’m gonna shell out 50€ for 3 episodes of content that could disappear in a year)?
Also, any general tips, suggestions or other insights, stuff to focus on when starting completely new characters (which is my current plan, I could import my old chars, but not sure yet).
If nothing else: what are your favorite builds? Meta and off-meta suggestions welcome, I like experimenting with stuff. :D
TL;DR: see title
Just wanted to get some friendly conversation going :)
Hey!
Thanks for the quick response. :)
Like I mentioned in the title, I bought the legacy bundle on a whim, which seems to include every dlc “pack” + Witchqueen and Lightfall and the 30th anniversary thingy. This does not seem to include dungeon keys for two DLCs (Witchqueen and Lightfall, I think?) as they’re only in the eververse shop (yikes). Gonna have to look into those, they could be interesting.
I do plan on playing all the campaigns that are still available, as I did like the story (at least most parts) back when I played. EDIT: At least for the new subclasses, I guess.
Also: thanks on the heads-up on the episodes. Doesn’t really sound all that interesting to me then.
Is there any other type of free content dropped during the seasons or do I get “left out” for not buying the annual pass?
I forgot about 30th Anniversary pack. Super fun activity with good guns. Absolutely farm that.
I think the only thing that was free that you still can access is Onslaught. A horde mode from last season. It drops very popular guns like Mountaintop and Recluse. In August they’re pushing an update that lets you focus what gun you want to drop at Zavala.
Dungeons are hit or miss. I don’t think you’re missing much there. They can be fun but after doing it 5 times and not getting a good roll they get old. If they had craftable guns I’d say consider it.
That sounds great. Thanks for your thorough replies! :)
I guess I’ll just try moving through the campaigns and activities and get a grip on the new mechanics and gameplay loops first.
If you’re down, are there any builds/pieces of equipment you would suggest for having some fun? I used to like ability-heavy builds for spamming grenades/refilling your super real quick - is that still on the table?
