The Way Quests Are Given Out Is Confusing

Hello Devs and Destiny Players ([i]12 hours playtime on steam and power level around 820[/i]) So, want start off by saying have never played a destiny game and this is my first experience playing the game Destiny 2 : New Light. Some things i'm enjoying like; the movement, classes and weapons. When i'm able to start a quests from the new light campaign its fun and visually appealing. But, there is a huge annoyance i'm facing and can 100% say that if the game has a high turnover rate as in new players coming and leaving this is the reason. [b]The Way Quests Are Handled and Given Out [/b] When i started the new light campaign, was really hoping for a straight forward questing experience and this never happened. I understood immediately that quests show up in the quest tab and i can track the quest by clicking it and some show where to go and provide good direction but others don't. I started to see some issues in the questing system as an example there was a quest saying i needed to talk with the npc "Drifter" in the tower. I tracked that quest and went to the map tab and there was no icon appeared on the map.....So just landed in the tower and tried to use that TAB feature where it shows you a square and you follow it....That square just stopped telling me where to go and had to google where he was located. I made a video of this on my channel => [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM9ORU3Bk4g[/url] [b]Getting Additional Quests/Quest Steps From NPC's[/b] Another annoyance with quests is when i have to talk to an NPC why does the npc give me like 5 quests/quest steps that have nothing to do with new light campaign? aka a new light quest got me to talk to the weapons dealer and he gave me like 3 yellow quest steps and other quests separate from the new light campaign. I just want the new light campaign quests and that is all!, at least until i'm done that campaign. I'm abandoning all quests and quests steps that have nothing to do with new light story campaign. [b]Little Indication That Quests Are Chain Quests[/b] When i tried to complete "Enhance" went to EDZ and activated the quests on the planet finished that quest but, looked in my quest tab and it says i have to complete Enhance......Thought i just did so. Then, figured out it was a chain quest. That quest didn't mention it was a chain or indicated this which added more time wasting and annoyance. [b]Quests Showing Up On Planets That You Don't Have [/b] This is annoying as well, I saw a new light quest on a planet and looked in my quest tab and it wasn't in there......So, quests show up on planets even if you don't have that quest in your quest tab....confusing. [b]Conclusion[/b] The above issues are stopping me from enjoying the story and and gameplay to its fullest its not a smooth experience to say the least. I'm constantly trying to figure out where to go for quests where the npc's are Drifter didn't have an icon on the map some quests are straight forward and provide direction whist others don't. P.s This thread isn't to anger people i'm just conveying my experience in hopes Bungie and the other developers see it and maybe they can improve it for everyone veterans and new joining players alike. [i]I've played many games....and this one takes the cake for being the most confusing experience in any game. [/i]

  • I got a friend to play now that it’s free and he has the same issue. If you not on to guide him he’s lost.

      Out of all the things here I just can't wrap my head around how you had to use google to find the Drifter. There should be huge icons for all NPC's that give additional info when hovered on, like if you can't use that functionality then I really can't take this post seriously. Or I'm gravely mistaken and that part of the UI is blovked for new light players for some reason.

    • I can recommend a few ways to proceed from here. Play golf, sleep, eat, enjoy a leisurely stroll in the park, hang out with friends, go on holiday, sex, do cartwheels, go shopping, play any other video game, listen to music, clean the house, bungee jumping (no pun intended), dig a hole, go strawberry picking, play another sport other than golf, learn a language. To name a few 😎

        Welcome to game and sorry you're having to deal with this. It was much better before they revamped everything. I actually restarted a character, to see if they throttle you after you hit a certain point, and they do, and I'm annoyed with how they changed it. The stories took longer but they were fairly enjoyable and a lot less confusing.
