Won't play near as much as I did D1 but I've got it downloaded and ready to go.

It's time.
Those missions you can do on planet now earn you local reputation. Much easier to get decent gear without the need to grind so far.

Reading a lot of reviews saying it's good but nobody seems to be over the moon about it.
Almost all the reviews talked about it being more improved on the original Destiny. But from what I understand Bungie make some key changes at the release of the Taken King DLC. So, are the improvements comparing post DLC or Vanilla DLC. I ask because I only played the vanilla version.

I like it but I'm a multiplayer guy. I'm running through the story as fast as I can to level up. Tried to get in a Crucible game but it wouldn't ever load so now I'm not high enough to keep moving through the story.

Great game so far and multiples better than year 1 of the first game. Has a much bigger feel to it and the campaign activities are more interesting and diverse. I only played the taken king sparingly and saw none of the content after that, so can't really make a comparison vs more recent Destiny 1 gameplay.

Do you need to play the first one to play this one?

No. Like any sequel, you probably understand things a little bit more clearly but it's not necessary to understand everything right off the hop either.

So your character continuing from one to the other is cosmetics only? Not a level issue?

I didn't carry over my character. I started a new one. I only played the first one for about 6 months and don't really remember anything about the character.
Extemely early/minor spoiler:
The opening part of the game/story your character loses all their weapons and abilities.

Played through the story. A few things are a bit confusing now looking back on it. I get the main points but there's a few loose ends. It felt more like a mini series than a movie in terms of scope. Like a "This is the bad guys for this season. Come back next season to see who our heroes face next." The scale just didn't seem to be big enough. And I didn't feel like there was enough character development since I didn't really care about anyone at the end. In general it's not bad though. Not great but not bad.
The gameplay is pretty good though.

This is definitely not a story driven game in the typical sense. IMO it's like a mini MMO.

After not playing D1 past the beta way back when, I'm having a blast with this game. I was a little hesitant to buy it at first because I'm a lone wolf style player. But so far, that's not an issue at all as there are randoms around I can team up with to beat bosses or whatever they are during public events.

I agree 100%. But I think they also left a lot potential on the table. The base story could've had more elements of uniting or rebuilding the factions. This would've played perfectly into the gameplay style of doing adventures, strikes, etc. Have it like the Witcher or Mass Effect (or whatever game) where you're trying to build an army for the final fight.
It seems like Destiny (and MMOs) are built for long term players but the story felt like it was unnecessarily rushed. Maybe they plan for some giant expansions though.

I'd say no, the fun is teaming up with others to complete challenging quests. You'd have a very hard time running solo outside of the main story.

The public events, I think, are pretty well done. I've had to do a few alone and while I didn't complete the mission, I still got some decent drops.
I've noticed that a few times I've gotten an extra loot box because another player ended up dragging the boss from a different activity over to a public event. Extra help for them and an extra loot box for everyone else.
Borden

Not really. Wait awhile for Bungie to release a version with all the DLC. Then it probably will be.
To add to that, I don't play with other people unless it's randoms and I still enjoy it the non story stuff.

Yeah it was a blast. Hamlet mentioned maybe running today/tonight and tomorrow night. I'd like to keep the momentum going so we can beat it prior to the reset on Tuesday. Now if I could just learn how to jump with my f'ing Titan....

I'll keep an eye out for a game posting. I should be available both nights.
