I spent a decent amount of time typing out everything, only to have it instant deleted because it exceeded the line limit of 3.

#

So let me make this super clear and concise. I am new to the game, I'm currently doing Vanguard missions to progress what I hope is the initial story line.

#

I am hoping to find someone to answer a few questions, I think I'm doing the right order on stuff I just don't know.

#

I am in NA East, I am 21+ and I decided to go with a warlock. I usually run a support role in group based content, so I thought it was the best option for me.

#

So I did Shaw Hans quests and when I finished that I went to the tower for the first time, I did some weird mission that taught me Radiant Well ( I think that's what it's called)

#

Moved onto Vanguard Bounties through Zavala, hopefully going to finish those soon. People tend to speed run the Vanguards though so it's sometimes hard to do the bounties.

#

I hope this thread doesn't get closed immediately I hope to continue to add to it.

Right now, doing the quests is the way to get familiar with the game

#

But let be honest with you

#

The new player experience is very bad.
Why? 1- the quests you're doing are just an " introduction" to get familiar with some of the game's story. 2- ALOT i mean MOST the game's content are locked behind a paywall and these dlcs have an actual campaign where you do missions and stuff, not chore work (as i call it) like the ones you're doing right now.

#

I mean yeah, I get that lol I just didn't know which ones to do first lol not to mention when I logged in again I got sucked into DLC cutscene and intro mission lol

#

Yeah, that's kinda of my issue I suppose cause I got gifted the 30th anniversary edition and a few of the DLC. I was hoping to do things some what in canonical order.

covert mountain
#

Oh! What were you gifted?

#

Oh yeah, let me tell you why there is no 'real' campaign for the new players; that's because alot of stuff been deleted, the original campaign doesn't exist anymore to reduce the game's size.

obtuse carbon
#

What

#

They deleted the campaign

#

Bro why

covert mountain
#

Yeah...

#

4 dlcs storyline/content has been mostly deleted.

obtuse carbon
#

I got beyond light, forsaken pack, shadowkeep, the witch queen deluxe edition upgrade

#

Oh and the 30th anniversary pack

#

So do they just run whatever the current expansion is?

covert mountain
#

Red war (the original campaign) fully deleted, curse of osiris (first dlc) fully deleted, warmind (second dlc) fully deleted, forsaken (the 3rd dlc) half of it has been deleted and the story doesn't exist anymore.

covert mountain
#

That's actually amazing hold on

#

Order based of release date (old-new)
Shadowkeep ----> beyond light -----> 30th anniversary -----> witch queen.

#

Man I hope I'm not going to have to win pvp to progress at some point cause I already know that will be a brick wall for me.

covert mountain
#

Don't play pvp right now

#

Uh, there's is a bug where

obtuse carbon
#

Yeah I didn't plan on doing pvp

#

I barely understand what my character does let alone others

covert mountain
#

So, uh, yeah

#

Raids for me are the most fun activities in the game

#

And you have a great set of raids avaliable to you right now

#

There are dungeons also which is considered to be a mini-raids

#

It's alot of fun also

#

Do you have a friend who plays the game alot by any chance?

obtuse carbon
#

Nah the guy who gifted me the game doesn't play much anymore.

#

So I am flying solo currently

covert mountain
#

Alright

#

You complete quest and then campaigns

#

And the rest is on you to figure what to do after you finish them

obtuse carbon
#

One last question, I'm in deep fear of what to do with extra equipment

#

Thank God I found the vault thing

#

Should I dismantle everything I'm not using or like is it better to hold on to stuff or what?

covert mountain
#

Tbh

#

If you see a weapon is cool or might use in the future, keep it

#

There is a website called light.gg where is tells you if the perks you have on the weapon is good or not

#

And generally watch videos. There are videos that tell you what's a god roll or not and stuff like that.

obtuse carbon
#

That's actually the most helpful anyone's been with me since I started I appreciate you dropping some knowledge for me.

#

Least I have a general idea of what to do. I just recently learned that there was even melee weapons

covert mountain
#

I am sure your friend could give some of his insight.
