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 (late) reply. I kind of sprinted through all the campaigns and I found them to be (at the best of times) serviceable to really good - with Lightfall definitely being the weakest one, Witch Queen being absolutely phenomenal!

I did this all on a fresh Warlock and while the dialogues did imply that some other strong Guardian accomplished some major feats, I kind of liked this perspective of just having that be my main from the other account. Gave me some flavor of actually being a 'new light' just being tossed into the world and having to face all these new threats. :)

Thanks for the build recommendations - tough, as I haven't even touched any other class yet, I think those will take some time. But I get the spirit of your decisions and I'll keep my eyes out for some fun stuff. Haven't found the Witherhoard yet, as I've just about finished the campaigns and am now trying to tie up loose quests and exotic quests while pushing my Power Level.

And the best part is: I haven't even touched crucible yet and don't see any reasons to :D
