Story Missions Should Be Replayable
Even though we always look forward for the future and the new stories, it would be awesome to be able to go back and play the old campaign stories from as:
[b][u]The Red War (Original Beginning)[/u][/b]
[b][u]Forsaken[/u][/b]
[b][u]Shadowkeep[/u][/b]
[b][u]Beyond Light[/u][/b]
Its a shame that we can only do those campaign stories once, i can see 3 Types of solutions to let us see the old story (with our selected characthers).
1. Add a Theater/Cutscene mode in the Timeline where we can watch the cutscenes from the Campaign stories we have completed (with our current characther's looks)
2. Have a ¨Replay Story Mission¨ selective screen on the Planet map of the first mission (for each story) like:
Red War: Courtyard/Tower
Forsaken: The Tangled Shore
Shadowkeep: The Moon
Beyond Light: Europa
In these screens, we can select to ether activate the entire campaign to replay it completely or select 1 specific mission from one of the campaigns to replay that one.
3. Give us the Option to pick up the old Campaigns as Quests in the Quest Archive at the Tower, when we have done the Campaigns again it then ends up back in the Archive so we can pick them up later to replay the stories if we want to.
Would love one of these 3 options, really miss playing Forsaken and Shadowkeep's storylines personally.

Commenting From the future here. You’re asking Bungie to actually care about Destiny and not just drop it in two years for their next big IP. That’s a big call apparently. I too would really like the now removed content I paid for. I want all of the Red War to Forsaken. Cause I paid for it.

Edited by THE ANDATRON: 8/17/2022 2:21:40 AMIt can be a good idea, since destiny 1 allows you to replay missions if you wanted, but most of that content is either vaulted, or have become sunset(red war and forsaken vaulted/mostly vaulted, shadowkeep sunset and don't know why we can't in beyond light to be honest) Plus, I'm pretty sure you could replay them at one point using the "medicate" thing near ikora back in year 1. But it would be nice to have a similar feature to WQ for replaying missions or have it like D1 where there was a specific heroic mission each week on director. Perhaps weekly heroic missions, weekly secret missions(ones for siva perfected and whisper) and replayable missions in director. There have been some hints that we the guardian may be able to move and control objects and bring stuff back in future dlc, so maybe replayable missions will become a thing in lightfall/final shape? *edit* didn't realise the dates at which this was posted... woops

Why? It’s can’t be because the story is good… at that point it might as well be a glorified firing range.
-
1 ReplyWe were able to do this at first during year 1 but Bungie removed them for whatever reason, storage and data issues I guess. As soon as Bungie removed Ikoras Meditations she became a pointless character. We could at least run the story missions again during those. I love that I can load into D1 and run whatever story mission I want whenever I want.

3 Replies<I just don't understand why it's so difficult nowadays to make the missions replayable? Why are they so afraid people will replay their content? I don't care how bad a story mission is I will replay it anyway to see the details because that's something Bungie's really -blam!- good at. For the past TWO SEASONS the introductory missions have been straight up not replayable on other characters. Wtf. Shadowkeep is the only one with a replayable campaign right now and it's stuck to a 3-week cycle that - misses a lot of the context because half the campaign was "patrols" - doesn't have cutscenes Why? I'm not even asking for theater mode. I'd love it because I'm a screenshot taker, but I don't think it'll happen. Just go back to how it was in D1 what was hard about that? I don't care if it's like the Red War where I had to physically go onto the destination to select the mission I just want to replay it. Whatever Witch Queen's doing with their legend difficulty, it better be a full-context deal. I want to see the cutscenes, hear ALL the dialogue. A truly replayable mission just at a higher difficulty. Even better if I can choose to replay it on normal too. Because that's what D1 did, and it's one of the few things that game does better than its sequel.>

2 RepliesEdited by SummertimeRS: 9/13/2021 4:23:36 AMRed War - We lost Titan and Io so I don't see that campaing coming back. Also New Light kinda is trying to ret con the Destiny 2 campaign. Forsaken - most of the campaign was adventures that are no longer in the game. But still can play it one time over. Shadowkeep - Still in the game for the most part. Beyond Light - In the game but can't fight final boss again which sucks. No Curse Of Osiris or Warmind ether because planets are gone. I used to always replay the campaigns but it's sadly something you cannot do anymore.
-
They need a Dailey strike/playlist and story mission like/similar to d1. Content is so slow that there should be some Dailey reward to log in and play a little.
-
We used to have replayable story missions in the vanguard selection tab. It even gave us powerful gear (didn't have pinnacle at that time. Only powerful.) after beating five missions. I think we had five or six to choose from each week.
-
I just played the Shadowkeep opening mission on my warlock for the first time. I HATE warlocks and didn't even have the moon unlocked yet, lol. I forgot how epic those starter missions were with the tanks and tons of mobs.
-
Bump!!!!!
-
what breaks my heart is the fact that the devs have probably thought of this and already decided not to implement it :(
-
Version 1 should exist alongside version 2. Having some kind of small episodes made up of the cutscenes (plus some new ones so there's a better transition between each) in the Timeline would be great. Plus, replaying the campaigns (all of them included... even curse and warmind) themselves and being able to select which mission you'd like to do would be very fun if they include legend/master versions and specific loot that you can only earn by replaying the quests if you're on the more difficult version. Also, I feel like each and every single quest that you did in the past should be replay-able through the quest Kiosk. Or, we could bring back the D1 version of quest selecting (icons on around the maps). Anyways, this is a very smart idea in general... especially for F2P players.

2 RepliesChances are, you will only play it once and never go back. Why waste the resources. There is a reason why they mixed the story missions into a strikes.
-
This 100%. There is so much wasted potential in this game and this example is one of Them!
-
1 ReplyCan you reply seasonal Quests? Or are they in the same boat as the other story Quests.
-
Unfortunately all the cool features/story we want are in third party apps or YouTube.
-
Absolutely. I feel like it’s such a core element to the game it baffles me we can’t replay the story. And I won’t take any BS excuse like “there isn’t enough players playing it”.. They are game designers. All bungie would need to do is give players an incentive to go play; people are drawn towards wherever the loot is. No -blam!- nobody is going to play it when it’s the only activity in the game that doesn’t reward anything.
-
Ikora used to allow meditation where you could actually replay old story content. 99% of players never bothered with it, it makes sense why bungie decided to scrap that idea.
-
For lots of them it's not possible because the destinations aren't in the game any more. I wouldn't play them personally, I used to hate running the daily heroic missions, doing everything 3x is already -blam!- enough.
-
That's the thing that we had heroic story missions it didn't work because nobody played it because there was no reward other than a level reward
-
Great post. Up vote.

Edited by Flash_Surge_Blast: 9/13/2021 5:08:10 AMno that would take up more storage space for destiny 2 playing old story missions
-
Edited by Demon_XXVII: 9/13/2021 4:27:28 AMA simple solution 3 return, every week (See Ikora) (With a checklist of which ones have been conquered) 1-9 players (the higher the number of players in team, the higher risk & rewards) - modifiers/prestige+, complete with battle hardened Saboteurs, HVT’s, Wyverns, (Push/Survive/Regroup/Tactical Retreat/RunTFAway😆 moments), Champions & kickarse!- surprises Build the correct teams, synergise skill sets & weapon platforms Pinnacle +3-5 rewards & targeted(Armour Slot) & Double perk weapons as loot No limited lives, just straight out combat (timed revives, shared ammo caches etc) Grab your fire team Unleash Hell
-
We’re getting that for the witch queen campaign at least :/
-
Game was like this once upon a time. But, as a dev said, making games is hard. That's true, the meme is just too strong. Basically they stated back before Beyond Light came out, that they were cutting content to make things easier for the team. Balancing (lol), scenes, a lot of stuff. Resources versus output in the end. Here we are. Classic story of Destiny...what it could be.
-
Edited by Avelithe: 9/12/2021 8:46:17 PMI want to replay Forsaken, gosh darn it. It was my favorite DLC, but I can’t replay what I paid for. What is that bull crap? And taking out content I paid for, on top of that? I can’t even begin to describe the level of frustration I feel. This practice is beyond ridiculous.
