If you decide to buy the game you'll want to get the game+both dlcs. I say that because you'll need both dlcs so that you can buy the next dlc that comes out in September, which will * potentially * make the game a lot better than it currently is. I don't know if they'll do some different release at a later date where you can get everything with a single purchase.
Hmm, this is useful info... I like to play rogue usually & play when I want and stop when I want. Maybe not the game for me if that is going to hurt me and/or make me not want to play end game after I'm invested.
Well you can get away with rolling solo in pvp, but if you want to do the 'competitive' play list it's usually people that 4 stack with friends and Trials is the same.
I've been playing solo since the first game the only thing you need a fireteam for is the raids & competitive PvP everything else can be played as a solo player. Most the things has in game match making except for trials, raids, and nightfalls so nothing that should turn you away from running solo.
I got the Sturm and borealis drop in normal strikes during a faction rally never had any in heroic strikes yet.
It's crazy that adding two more people per team gave people the confidence to try and play in a more solo way instead of laning and holding each others pockets. It's a massive improvement. I've only played like 3 or 4 games since the change went live but there's so many more 1v1 gun fights that the game is actually fun.
