I checked out a D2 raid stream and what did I see the team doing? Solving a puzzle. :trump:

Finished legendary campaign. I’m sure D2 vets breeze through that shit with busted builds (and better play) but that shit was no joke for me.

You can double down on drops from the mission if you have a friend that wants to farm:

Yeah first raid clear took us 7 hours. Easy to watch a video and understand on paper but putting it all together is another thing. Still feels like a 4 hour avg raid even when you're comfortable with it.

Do you guys like my new shower curtain?!

So lets say I'm a stupid glutton for pain and heard this game is actually not shit currently. How would you recommend getting back in if I haven't really played since whatever update it was where they introduced the Stasis shit?

Is it possible (with purchase of course) to backflag all the old content to get the story, or is it all gone and you're pretty much current story arc only?

Ie, how do I get back into this without being lost and missing a tonne of shit?

I assume that you can skip every expansion that you haven't done on a per character basis. Why you'd do this is beyond me (time maybe?).

Looks like new lights can immediately access The Final Shape, you can still buy a boost for that too.

Not looking to skip things. Just trying to figure out what questline to pick up, since it seems the tower and a bunch of other locations have all been updated to match the current storyline.

The game seems to be pushing me towards a 'The Timeline' quest which seems to be an abbreviated cliff notes that runs you up to the current point of the story with a bunch of missions that summarize each expansion. It at least gives me a good clue on what I have and haven't purchased so I know about where to start.

The only things that are really gone are the original storyline stuff from when they sunset and all the seasonal stuff. I assume to have access to Stasis you need Beyond Light, Strand will require Lightfall, and Prismatic will need The Final Shape. That's a guess though.

For a recommendation point of view... if you've run out of things to do as F2P, and still hunger for more, then your next purchase should be The Final Shape.

If you go into the quest section, on the left side they divide quest by type. The last option at the bottom is called "The Past" I think. It will have the expansion quest listed there.

For my warlock for example I had those:
Beyond the Light
The Witch Queen
Lightfall

So I did them in order they released before jumping into The Final Shape.

There's no real order to do them in though. I just did them in order for the story to make sense.

There is but I think you need to complete it on one character at least before you can use it. It's 2000 silver, not sure how much real life cash this equate to though.

oh there isnt a freebie? fuck that then, just burn through it on normal difficulty. grinding out the fragments is annoying as shit though, do some research on builds and get what you need first.

Its a pain but think of it as a slow burn, its not a race and they did set this up to be a live game so there has to be grinds or else no one would be playing. Took me through 1/2 of witch queen to finally unlock all that stasis shit on all my dudes. And now it seems like its the same shit with prismatic too, have to grind it out.

I would just go in order. Beyond, Witch, then lightfall. Just have to set yourself for some grindage. Once you get to know the game a bit and how they lay out all of the quests and shit for you it will go much smoother. I mean most of us that have been here since beginning have thousands of hours in this shit. Final shape gives you a free best in slot primary rocket sidearm which makes this game EZ. So maybe do that first??

Key is to grind up the the engram dude at the tower to flip him once and then you can buy all the exotic pieces you want to make builds with. Its still going to take some work but this alone is a hell of a lot better than what we had to do grinding out legend lost sectors for a chance of getting the exotic we wanted every expansion. Same with the exotic kiosk and the exotic weapons at the tower, which they added a few expansions back. You can just focus buy the good stuff instead of RNG shit we went through.

Prismatic fragments all come from specific places, simple puzzles to solve, and they unlock for every character. Three of them are in campaign missions. The only thing to "grind" is running the adventure missions on each class for their specific aspects, and even those are single runs. You can fully unlock prismatic for all three characters in an afternoon.
