New player doing dungeons

[Cast Iron Churl]

I just started playing in earnest last week and despite spending 20+ hours in the game, I still have no idea what is going on. I just do whatever in the open world, public events... I dunno. Sometimes I click on icons after talking to an NPC and I get loot. It's alright, I guess, but I have no real understanding as to what I'm doing in regards to progression.

I don't care either, it's fine. I like the guns and the combat, the graphics are nice. Things make satisfying noises when I click on them. The Saturday morning cartoon story interludes are bad, but I can skip them.

This is my honest experience as a new player. It's awful, really, but I keep playing because I like the shooting things part. This probably isn't the place for feedback, but legit, wtaf were they thinking?

I'm writing this because I do have a question in regards to dungeons and stuff. I played a ton of EQ and WoW so I'm comfortable with the terminology, but how the hell do I interact with these things? Do I just join a queue like in WoW? There seems to be that option, but I've never clicked on it because I don't want to piss people off, but I guess there is only one way to learn? Are they similar to the campaign missions or are they stupid hard? Which one do I click on first?

This is kind of the destiny 2 experience. Bungie caters to veterans without caring about new players so the entire thing is extremely convoluted for new lights. As for Dungeons, they're definitely more difficult than normal vanguard strikes but they aren't anything like the endgame activities. If you create an LFG and put in the title you need help, I'm sure you'll find someone to teach you. Destiny 2 is hard to learn but there are always people that are more than willing to help new players

They are hard 3 person activities that you need to find two other players for.

On a scale of difficulty for destiny 2 they're not really super hard like grandmaster strikes or master list sectors and they aren't as complicated as raids but they are definitely a step up from the usual strikes or campaign missions in both enemy aggression and mechanics you need to learn and practice.

Thanks, dad. lol Sorry, couldn't resist.

But yea, thanks for the replies. I queued for something last night, a playlist, and did a couple group instances. It was fun - I was awful, but it was fun.

Despite the new player experience, which actively tells you to go play Helldivers 2 instead at this point, I'm still enjoying Destiny 2. If you are new, not an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and want someone else to talk to while you learn the game - hit me up.

If you ever need some help from veterans or just wanna learn a bit of the game in general, lmk, I'm probably (and hopefully) not the only one willing to help out the new lights in the game and get them to improve

Not talking about carries, I could do that too, but I rather like to introduce newlights to the mechanics and let them experience the game how its supposed to. How Bungie should do their job..

Its making me sad to see the game falling apart after the time I "wasted" or spent, however you wanna see it as, in this game.

i recommend reading/watching a guide about the dungeon you plan on doing as most of them involve some sort of puzzle mechanic
