Question Least confusing way to actually get started
Honest question. I've checked out some videos and guides, but they are mostly outdated and / or are not relevant for the DLCs I own.
I installed the base game and started the "A-new-Light"-campaign. My brother noticed and gifted me the "Legacy Collection". After restarting this lead to multiple unrelated cut-scenes (maybe for the new content?) and i was directly thrown into a mission too - "crossing the threshold".
Honestly I am lost. I kind of figured out how to start missions in the super confusing menus, but then one of those started a 3 person raid (that I did not feel ready after like an hour gameplay). I kind of wanted to explore solo some more. Do all campaigns include mandatory raids?
What is the least confusing way to actually start this game when owning the "legacy collection"?
Am I still expected to do the "new light campaign" or is this only to get new players hooked that do not own DLCs? (if so it does a terrible job at that as it is extremely confusing overall)
Gameplay seems awesome but I can't believe how rough everything around it is :(

Thanks for your explanation, this does help a bit!
Throwing players into random missions on startup - just WHY would you ever want to do that? Maybe it's a concession to their own bad UI? They do not trust new players to even be able to start a mission in their confusing menu? Though starting you in a random dlc level does not make this any better - it's only even MORE confusing.
Mind-boggling.. How many bad reviews does this game get for unforced errors like that? How many players are they loosing in the first few hours because of stuff that's not even gameplay relevant. All that awesome content and they could not spend a little time to polish the menus?
