Destiny 2: Forsaken |OT3| All Right, All Right, All Right.
- Thread starter Stalker
- Start date
- Status
I am pumped to jump back in. Skipped season of the forge for a lot of reasons. Jumped back in during Valentines day to grab the max level bow. Really enjoyed my time. Nabbed the season pass on sale on PSN. Now I'm just biding my time until Tuesday. I don't want to burn out, so I'll do all the stuff once I grab the power boost bounties and hit 640.
- You can solo though the campaign
- Curse of Osiris, Warmind and Forsaken add campaigns (Forsaken DLC contains Curse of Osiris and Warmind), Annual Pass content is end game only. Mostly match made activities.
- You don't have to touch PvP at all. Some weapon quests have some PvP requirements, but those weapons are PvP oriented anyway, so (The Last Word for example)
- It's not too long. I'd say like 15 hours for everything
I took a break from destiny and seem to have been booted from the destinyera clan on Xbox.
Can anyone let me back in?

You can solo the entire story campaign, but endgame is all multiplayer. There are certain guns you can only get by doing PVP, if that bothers you from a completionist perspective. Then again, there's also lots of rewards you can only get by doing multiplayer PVE endgame stuff like raiding, so if you only ever want to be solo then Destiny probably isn't for you. If you can buy it cheap and fancy the campaign then it is an OK shooter though.
This year's DLC is where they've moved the focus entirely on repeatable endgame activities, but before that each DLC added a couple of story missions. They were very short though.
I reckon you could do the entire campaign of D1 incl TTK and ROI in about 20 to 30hrs; D2 incl CoO and Warmind in like 15hrs. By that point though, you might fancy doing a nightfall, or even getting sherpa'd though a raid. It's not that hard actually, and you can usually just gawp at the encounters and shoot things while everyone else does the work. We have a friendly Discord if you PM Ruthless.
thx friend, that's very helpful and the info I was looking for!
awesome, thx a bunch to you as well for extra details!
Really enjoying the cycle involved in content drops for Destiny. Frantic land grab to experience everything, settle into a steady grind, hunt for the final pieces, then play other games til the next release. Delicious.
Just to clarify something in Kittens' post, you definitely can play the game solo. In fact, I play everything except activities that need you to LFG solo - Raids and Nightfalls. Majority of activites have Matchmaking, which can be pain in the ass, just like in every other game, but it's fine.
If you can hold on, Destiny 2 and the DLC are regularly on sale. In fact, I would wager it will be on sale again inside a month.
I finished the campaign on base D2 and enjoyed it, im not interested in the online aspect to be honest, is there more SP content worth it to get back to the game again?

If you want to properly jump back in grab forsaken and the annual pass bundle. You get a wealth of content and will be able to jump to 640 light and faceroll the last 2 raids
No, they come on Tuesday.
Yup.
Tuesday with the update. Again, you need the Annual Pass to get them (so don't stomp your feet when you discover you can't get them please)
Those new weapons and armor sets look awesome! Really like the looks of the weapons, especially that rail gun sniper rifle thing lol.
Do we have any idea what those Titan Arms are with the frost effect? None of these are Exptics right? They're just Legendaries right?

From what we have seen those frost arms look exotic and there's a exotic arm set for hunter and warlock and a few weapons the rest seem to be regular legendaries
That's right. I saw a video that examined the trailer a bit and those Warlock arms look like they will have some sort of devour ability that spawns a new arc soul thing that looks slick.
I'm usually never lucky so this feels good. Took me many times to get mytho in d1 and typically never got the armour piece I needed for max light.
But that price point, yeesh. So I can autolevel to max tot the soft cap so I can do the raids or something?
You get one boost for a character that gets you to the minimum required for Forsaken, and then on Tuesday Drifter will have bounties that give 640 gear.
Forsaken's campaign is worth playing tho.

The 640 bounties will let you do the raid that came with forsaken and the black armory (annual pass DLC 1) raid is a 640 activity with a solid team. But forsaken gives you a boost that let's you get ready for forsaken content and the whole DLC campaign is worth playing
I think the 640 bounties are a great idea. I'm still only 591 and haven't managed to play Black Armoury stuff. There will probably be no point once Season of the Drifter starts.
Although I was never a big fan of Gambit. I love the idea of it, but it takes way too long to play a match.

I think for players in your situation if you can grin and bear a little gambit then The Reckoning is 4 player matchmade pve content that seems like its going to be the big route to 700

If a match exceeds 2 rounds now the 3rd round is sudden death burn the primeval to avoid extra long stuff.

Yes and no.
We know of Thorn and another exotic quest.
Also we have what appears to be another exotic in some of promo screenshots that looks like railgun
I think the forges will still be worth doing if you want a good roll. I have precisely 0 god rolls from forge weapons, so I still see myself doing a forge every now and then. Wish there were less friction when it comes to farming frames though; I feel like I need an SSD to deal with all the loading in and out of destinations.
Honestly I don't even mind that, what I don't like is the need to go back to Ada after the frame is done before I can go to the forge.
The first time you do a frame maybe? I can't remember. All it is now though is just x kills with y weapon, then collect 20 radiant seeds (drops from yellow bar enemies), one more trip to Ada and then a forge. If you've unlocked it, Bergusia can forge any of your frames.
I just go to Mars and run the the lost sector next to Ana a couple times. It's short and easy and you can get both steps before a forge run out of the way in a few minutes.
Haha not possible. Doing your own thing and "screwing it up for others" is literally integral to the Gambit experience 😉 If it wasn't they wouldn't hand out absurd bounties like "x kills with rockets" etc..
Oh so that's what they were talking about being the bad guy lol Well that makes me feel better now!
Is there other shit I gotta do before tbat? I don't see anything particularly Last Wordy when I talk to the drifter.
The quest to kill a bunch of Hive is the start of The Last Word Quest. IIRC, it's next to the Gambit weapon and armour you can buy from him instead of being it's own thing like the prompt for the Whisper quest.
