Don't get it - you'll hate it.

Mostly because I know you'll incessantly keep bumping this thread (while everyone else is playing D2), asking inane questions about loot and how leveling up works. That shit's pretty convoluted in this game, and no one is going to answer your questions to stuff we were discussing two years go.

Sorta. There are activities you CAN do by your self, but the game is designed so you are playing with other people. Even when you are in "single player" you are in a shared world with other players.

Bought the collection yesterday afternoon hoping to play in the evening. After downloading what seemed like 200 GB updates I finally got to play at 4 AM

I get done with the first quest and arrive at the Tower. After exploring the whole area I still can't find a damn quest. I go into orbit thinking there'd be a quest but still no dice

Is there an NPC I need to talk to? I swear I visited everyone at the tower.

Wait, so you finally bought the original Destiny collection when Destiny 2 just came out last week?

So, is The Taken King expansion, SP? and do i have to have played the regular game in order to succeed in this dlc?

Yes, it continues the story.

Well you could not play the expansion without the game itself so i do not understand the question?
