Welp, They Finally Broke Our Bud Datto Media

He's so right. There's a suit at Bungo that got paid for this decision. More concerned with the next few months of $$ than the next few years of players.

Hell, I played a fair amount of D2 at launch and was thinking of getting back into it recently, at this point I have no goddamned idea what I have to buy or what content is relevant for catching up (both in terms of plot and light level)

Can't imagine you guys see many completely brand new players if even someone who's trying to return is having this much trouble

Exactly, the forsaken pack shouldn't be a thing nor the dungeon keys.

Make dungeon keys part of the season or the expansion.

In addition to that, Shadowkeep, beyond light, lightfall and the final shape should be put in an order, and in-game cutscene(or better a mission) should exist to explain what happened in each season.

If bungie wants revenue, they should make stuff more approachable for new players instead of confusing the hell out of them.

As someone who just started about a week and a half ago, I’m so fucking lost, lol. I played D1 from start to finish and then moved on to other things shortly after D2 release, so I kinda know some of the lore, but I don’t even know where to start as far as content I should be doing.

Currently about 1770, so I’m doing nightfalls now. Almost finished unlocking the strand class fully, and trying to prep to raid. I guess just do the weekly stuff that gives good gear, and then focus on unlocking stasis as well? Not really sure what to farm for other than that.

So right at the beginning of season of the witch I got myself and 3 close friends playing D2. None of us had ever played, and all used to play a ton back in D1 days. It took a while of campaign running , exotic quest hunting, and seasonal griding. I was still pretty lost for story but was having fun just playing with friends in PVE and starting the old school raids. Finally I just watched a 4 hour long video on YT completely explaining the story and lore since D1. I got to say its really informative if you have lots of questions but not necessarily required to have fun. As for the gear and what's worth your time? That came to me from meeting some veterans explaining builds , synergy , artifice armor, adept weapons, and the rare exotics locked behind lost sectors and neomuna.
