What to buy as a new player?

[Skush]

I have played a few hours years ago, but kinda want to get into this game.
I have none of the DLC.
Is it worth as a newcomer to get the old DLCs?
Do I get anything out of the new DLC as a new player? Or do I have to go through hundreds of hours of content before even reaching the new stuff anyway?

Buy a refund

no because they have a "weird" seasonal system, buy it for the lore whil it s still in promo and experience half the story

You can start playing the new expansion right after you finish the tutorial quest

As for the older expansions, yes, they are worth buying, especially now that the Legacy Collection is on sale at a big discount. 24.5 dollars for 6 expansions is a great price.

If the $100 price tag for the new expansion scares you, you can buy the base edition for $50. It includes the first season, and then in the future you can upgrade to the annual pass if you want.

So the content of the old expansions is still completely there? Cause some games, especially MMO games "advance" the game world and the older expansions are not really accessible anymore or don't make sense, etc.
So I could go through the same experience and play through it as I could have done if I got and played them when they released?

More or less, yes. The Forsaken DLC story campaign has been removed from the game, so now this expansion just gives access to the Dreaming City location content (raid, dungeon, exotics).

Also, 4 seasons were released between major expansions. These seasons are removed after each new expansion is released. The plot of these seasons usually ties the expansions to each other, so there may be problems with understanding of the plot.

But in general, when it comes to expansions specifically, unless you count the Forsaken story campaign, all of their content is still in the game.

I agree with all the people at the top by the way. The game may be good, but I wouldn't recommend it for new players. The new player experience is just awful. When the developers improve it, and when they bring back all the deleted paid content, then maybe it will be possible to invite new players to play it without embarrassment.

Trust me don't, not yet, wait for a sell, the last time I bought anything was with forsaken, and that was with the activision game sell at $40 for everything, witchqueen I got it on sell for like also $40 with everything, plus the anniversary, collectors, etc... even the dungeons, I would highly recommend you wait, because this game is not worth that much, Bungie thinks it's consumer base are piggy banks, we're not, so please save your money and be patient, please, it will help everyone if you do.

Epic Games Store gave a bunch of DLCs free over Christmas. Wait long enough and they'll probably do it again.

GreenManGaming.com has all the previous DLC and Expansions on sale right now and are worth it at the price I'm seeing them at.

Beyond Light and Light Fall expansions are definitely worth getting due to them unlocking Stasis and Strand subclasses

The "Legacy Collection" is a great bundle to purchase
