So can we all agree that destiny 2 is a mess for new players

The way the game is handled for new players seems to be a chaotic mess, when I try to get my friends to join and play with me unless me or other veterans are playing with them they’re totally lost and it kills there interest. Put yourself in the shoes of a person joining this season. They’re bombarded with so many quests, vendors, locations etc they don’t know where to really start, and they can’t tell which things are worth doing or not at the moment. They have countless bits of lore and story information to catch up with. All the exotics they need to have drop or exotic quests to complete, learn all the mechanics, unlock locations and activities etc Really just wish there was a way for my friends to have the game a bit more accessible to them

  • About a month or so ago I finally got two of my friends to give it a go. I was super excited. I thought it was going to be great, leveling up and going through this universe and stories with them. I even deleted a chr so I could start from scratch with them. The very beginning was fun, replaying the D1 beginning (solo) but thats were it stops and the bounty fest starts. My friends were soo confused, disappointed and then overwhelmed by the pointless running back and forth, jumping in and out of content, navigating the menu screens. just to complete quests (lets be realistic, bounties). To be honest, I found it confusing, frustrating and embarrassing. I had been telling them about this game for awhile now, but sadly, new light is a mess. One of my friends said. “Why don’t the npc just tell us what to do”. And the other said he would have been completely lost if i wasn’t helping him. Anyway. They stopped playing after about a week and I don’t think ill be able to get them back in. I said it earlier, the beginning experience is a mess for new players and even vets. It is just another example of poor planning and testing. Also, Bungie, fix and finish the collection system.
