MODERATORS
It’s insane how little effort seems to be put into the new player experience. I’m constantly telling my friends that destiny is my favorite game but no they shouldn’t try it because there isn’t a good entry point anymore and I don’t want to spend weeks guiding them.
I took a 2 year break after forsaken and when I came back pretty much everything I had played years ago was wiped from the game. I understand it’s hard to keep people happy but it’s kinda nuts that they removed so much from the game and still haven’t replaced large portions of what they took away (eg gambit and pvp maps). It feels weird knowing I paid for that content (red war and forsaken campaigns) but can’t access them anymore.
I have almost 3 thousand hours in the game, and would still be unable to explain what the fuck you're supposed to do as a new player. I can't even understand what to do as a veteran player, and I play this game regularly. There's both an overwhelming amount of choice, and an illusion of it. The game throws everything at you at once, but when you understand how the pieces fit, it really just turns out that none of those pieces matter
