Now that I actually look at it… this game has a of stuff and is indeed very very complex. Really easy for new players to just give up shortly after starting because of it

[ShadowDestiny]

This is the most up-to-date and valuable beginner guide there is. If you're a new/returning player and you don't watch the whole video, you're doing yourself a disservice lol

[Kipp_mubu]

I’m someone who’s tried picking up this game on so many occasions but just couldn’t cause of how overwhelming it became but this guide honestly made it way more easier to understand!!

[Kiwi]

Me being a hardcore vet knowing damn well I’ll watch every second of this like a new light

[DudeInAMood]

As someone who has played since D1 is interesting to see how far the game has come while also realizing how much about the game is second nature to a veteran like me and not for someone just starting.

[phnx_tom]

I really recommend Beyond Light before you start Witch Queen, because you gain access to use Stasis just with BL and also the story is for beginners quite good. The Raid Deep Stone Crypt is by far my favorite Raid because of the Spacewalk and Lore of the Exo and Clovis Bray.

Wow, a lot of things changed with Destiny 2 since launch. I haven’t played it in 3 years and lost interest in it within the 1st year. I eventually went back to D1, had more fun, strikes were more enjoyable along with VoG and Crotas End getting revamped. But now playing D2 again and I feel it’s been improved tremendously, I’m starting to get that addiction I used to have with D1. Hopefully it stays with me this time, because I’m having fun playing Destiny like I used to again.

Solid! I've missed this game for a long time due to feeling overwhelmed and confused upon attempting to return. But I'm set on returning to it this weekend, and this is reeeeally helpful. To the point, clearly communicated and illustrated; exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[radudobinda]

thanks havent played since Forsaken was released helped me a lot

[SilkyJohnson]

Awesome video Pattycakes!! I've been getting people to get into destiny but don't really know how to explain everything without overwhelming them. Your video is perfect and they can reference it throughout their new light grind

[dafatman]

This guide has helped me a lot. I only started yesterday

[YourWorstNightmare]

The last thing I remember doing before I downloaded D2 yesterday is grinding out the Redrix Broardsword in the crucible... this guide DEFINITELY helps

[lazytitan]

I've been playing Destiny 2 for a little over 2 years, sometimes consistently or a few times a month, I've played all the expansions except for witch Queen but I never really knew much about the indept stuff about the game, this guide really really helped me understand alot of stuff. Thank you and I hope you continue making more guides for us new lights in the future.

[eartharrow]

Patty Cakes proving that D2 wouldn't work without content creators as nobody would have a clue otherwise

[Saffron]

Just started destiny and reached 1500+ within the first two days using this guide, haha. Much appreciated! 😁

[TheSplashArmyy]

This is perfect for any new lights. Sent this to a irl friend and he now plays the wizard class😅

[steel]

I only picked Hunter because, like you said, it has an actual jump.
Titan and Warlock jumps feel like I'm trying to eat spaghetti with a spoon.

[DerekJamesakaDJDJ]

Thanks for taking the time to make this guide. I just started on Witch Queen and I wish I saw your video first. I did alot of things ass backwards or put in way too much time and you made things so much clearer now. I didn't understand the different menus, mods, etc. I appreciate your work. 👍

[Doublepenitrate]

I gave up a couple years ago on destiny but now I'm back and this helped out a lot

[sweetbusiness]

i’m a veteran and have rarely ever taken a break from this game and even i found this video helpful, great stuff man
