I remember all the upgrades saying "quest progress required" but maybe you can unlock a rune slot or something.

Gaining LL is much easier which is nice. Started at 690 and got up to 722 and still have some more stuff I could do(raids mostly), still have a whole character I could play too. 2-3 weeks for most players reach max LL ain't bad.

Forsaken is good as hell but the content is at this point heinously overcomplicated and interacting with anything (quests, vendors, gear) is painful as hell

There's way more content and things that are engaging enough to do repeatedly (forges, blind well, that sort of thing), but if you want to catch up on most of the useful things you've missed it can take months to do that. There are ways to boost your light level super-fast once you've finished the campaigns and reached level 50, but that won't get you the good gear. If you're trying to do things solo it can be hard to deal consistently with activities like nightfalls and raids. PvP is chock-full of players with the best gear even if light level isn't taken into account.

Right now things are feeling a little rushed trying to get powerful drops on all your characters, imperials to upgrade the chalice, progress on pinnacle weapons, menagerie runs, etc. At least the daily gunsmith bounties are an easy way to get mod components and enhancement cores (6 each per day per character), especially if you switch characters to do as many as possible.

There's a lot to keep track of if you want to hit the level cap in the most efficient way possible but if you just want to see what's new that's what the left tab of the director is there for. It'll lead you through doing everything once and unlocking everything and then you can go back and repeat it if you want another drop.

Dude imagine coming back into this from vanilla.

I get angry at how funky it all is having just missed a season.

You need a degree in Bungie Science to know what to do.


Luckily the things to do are all pretty fun save for the Season of Drifter stuff.

Yeah, I think Datto pointed this out during the Shadowkeep reveal when he said that the game has got a lot wider in scope, but not deeper. So while there's an overwhelming amount of activities and things to do, there's not much to them and core pillars of the game like Strikes & Crucible have been completely neglected. I really do think it would save Bungie so much time and effort if they stopped trying to come up with all these different sorta-horde modes and just made a proper horde mode that worked on Crucible maps and had matchmaking and that was it, no more time and resources wasted designing minor variations with odd quirks and small locations only valid for that activity.

I'm not even sure what deep would mean here. What do people want other than more stuff to do and balance changes?

They have not announced any plans to make Forsaken free.

IMHO, Destiny is best enjoyed live. It won't be much fun to play the deprecated content alone, for free, compared to playing current content, now, for $40

Hey is there any way to buy Destiny 2 Forsaken like by itself? I saw that the Destiny 2 the complete collection or whatever was on sale on PSN, which got me to looking for just Forsaken since I have the main game. I wash hoping it'd be on sale too, but I can't find it anywhere?
