Do Not Rush Through Destiny 2's Content

Resist the urge to race through the Destiny 2 story to reach the end game and max power level as fast as possible. Take your time with it.

[Tetsujin]

Translation: Game isn't as large as expected.

[Ricegum]

Or...just slow down and enjoy the game.

[admiralvic]

Or... just don't tell people how to play.

One of the issues I have with posts like yours or this is that they tell people how they're suppose to enjoy the game. Regardless of how much content or reason for it, I'm going to rush through the story, because the story isn't what I fine enjoyable in Destiny. It's the raids, strikes and good times with friends and random people that makes Destiny stand out/be fun.

By slowing down, it takes longer to get to the stuff I like, which makes my experience worse. Now, Bungie could do the community a favor by delaying the raid, as now I feel like I have a week to get 260 light or I'll miss out on the fun of going into the raid blind and likely have that one person who has to go on Reddit and find the solution after one failure, ruining the fun of figuring it out, so if they made us wait, like, a month, that might change things, but right now I want to rush and the game is basically telling me to rush, so I'm trying to get to where I want so I can enjoy it, even if that involves playing faster, not slower.

Or play at your own pace.

The campaign is nearly double the size of the original destiny game. The story is a major improvement, I've only played two strikes but they play more like mini raids and that's not including the adventures, patrols, lost sectors, crucible stuff etc. There's quite a bit of content here. I'm on the last mission (had it early) and I've been surprised how long it is.

[Servbot41]

Double the size? So it'll take you two days instead of one?

[KyRo]

@Servbot if that's all you play destiny for is the campaign and nothing else then Destiny ain't the game for you. The campaign is there to serve its purpose and get you ready for the end game. That's when we discover if there's enough to do in destiny but on the surface theres plenty to do and that's with out Trials, raids or nightfalls available yet.

@douchebag nothing surprises me with N4G. I love the site but it's community in the comment section is terrible for the most part.

[jugo14]

this is an outright lie. The beta said it all. The game is no different than the first. tired of you fucking toxic ass destiny fanboys. Its like they can do no wrong. The game fucking sucks ass.

[thekhurg]

Translation: the base story missions are actually quite large. But you still need to rush through if you want to raid and do trials of osiris

[UnHoly_One]

Not unless you feel like you have to do it the instant it becomes available.

It's not like the Raid appears for a week and then goes away.

It'll still be there even if you don't hit max level till December.

[thekhurg]

@unholy

Except finding a group that's willing to deal with you being a complete raid noob by the time December comes around will be very complicated.

[Gitgud]

I finished the story in 8-9 hours, that's pretty decent if you ask me lol. I haven't done that much side quests or any exploring. I didn't play that much pvp and never even touched the end game content. Also, the game is pretty big in size.

[svoulis]

People use boosters, and I remember in Destiny 1 when they released those "Three of Coin" exotic engram drops, people grinded for them BEFORE the DLC, and used them to get all the new content. Those same people complain of nothing to do in the game. Enjoy it at your own pace people.

[InTheZoneAC]

No!

[kevnb]

or rush through it and get to the end game content, whatever way you like is fine.

[Ricegum]

Yep. But then you'll get the bandwagon of haters saying it's not big enough, even if the content is reasonable.

[Michiel1989]

maybe the content isnt reasonable for them. People have different tastes, expectations etc.
And you can't statisfy everyone, there will always be haters for a game

[PurpHerbison]

Oh no... Kids are going to start using D2 for Destiny 2... D2 is FOREVER Diablo 2!

[InTheZoneAC]

No

[LordofYogurt]

Better yet just don't play it.

[joab777]

Hell yeah! I HATE that Bungie is releasing raid and Trials in a week. It goes against the entire reason for a good single.player story and world immersion. We will begin the endgame when we get there. I wanna explore the world that I will soon be skipping over all the time.

Not sure if they are worried that ppl will chew through the content and leave to go elsewhere. But they have the month of September for those who are new or coming back. Give them time. They aren't going anywhere. 3 weeks for raid and 4 for Trials. I know that they want a small percentage to clan up, clear the raid and get good with a trials so that the new matchmaking system can be rolled out, but 1 week is too fast. Though I don't have the time I did for D1. And I already see level 20's everywhere.

[kevinsheeks]

I don't rush any of the games I play but . .if i'm into it . .I go very freaking hard. . and I'm mainly a pve type of player . . I don't try to rush . .but if a games addictive how can you not? i hope they have enough content, I'm not against side missions I enjoy them as long as it isn't a collecting type of mission lol

[GameHead85]

I plan to, cause you never know when you run by a secret or something. There shouldn't be any time limits, so why run.

[Scatpants]

Don't rush through it because when you're done you're going to have to play it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

[S-Word]

What content?

[KomaRising]

Normally I would agree with this. But since I'm getting the PC version and I have so much to look forward to a couple days and weeks after D2 launches on PC its gonna be tough not to try and rush it.

[Fist4achin]

Wise man say, only fools rush in,...

[Cartman55125]

I'm not saying this game is anything close to Skyrim, but imagine plowing through Skyrim. Where's the fun in plowing through any game? To brag about how fast you finished it? Who are you trying to impress?

[VanguardOfCalamity]

soo... if Xur sells the equivalent of gjallarhorn the first weekend as he did in Destiny 1 and never sells it again for a couple years.... whats the plan there?

[CKPan]

What content? Does anybody see content here?

[Tankbusta40]

Just a DLC game seen here.

[Flipflopp]

This is why I decided to pass on part 2. I was so engulfed with getting every last coin and mote of light each week, with each character, that I missed out on playing a lot of other games. Trying to get everything for sale, exotics, etc, burned me out.

[Tankbusta40]

destiny defense force....DONT RUSH through the games 12 hours of content or you will be sorry! I remember in 2014 people beat the story in less than it takes for a review to be written...

BUNGIE is a joke

[Manubiggs]

Gamers will play how they want to

[Smitty2020]

Iv just finished the Main story and I have to say I have enjoyed the game. If I had to criticize the game in anyway I'd thy they used old enemies and haven't really added new ones

[Gitgud]

First, don't tell me what to do. Secondly, I usually rush through games that are online and has a level system so I could be prepared for end game content like raids and nightfalls etc. I need to be the highest level, so taking time isn't an option

[Telxvi]

playersh shouldnt have to "apologise" for a short or poopy campaign, and neither should they have to compensate for bad design by adjusting their playing habits. nobody ever had to make this sort of excuse for a 100+ hour release, but density is a cash-cow and microtransaction mine. activision and bungie know what they are doing, same as with the last game - releasing barely 1/5 of a finished product and hoping their skinner-box crap will get people to pay hundreds of dollars + micropayments for the "full experience". im not sure if this sort of mental gymnastics is the result of buyers remorse or just plain inability to admit that one is being scamed - and most of the "gaming press" are in on it with their damned echo-chamber coverage.

[T2X]

I just started and so far I enjoy it. That's all I care about. I am enjoying it.

[OffRoadKing]

I'm trying but I can only walk so slow from encounter to encounter. I will say I'm seeing some people on my friends list already getting up their in rank and power and they do seem to be chewing through it way too fast.
