@DeadlyAccurate There's def a new char tutorial. I play solo so I'm unsure if you can group up for it, but I *think* you have to get through the first part of it alone. Part way in you get dropped into the Cosmodrome so maybe you can group then? As for the DLC, I've bought all of it at this point (they have sales fairly often for the older stuff so you can hold out for a bit if you trying to save $) and I have enjoyed the story addition but it's not necessary esp if you're exclusively PVPing.
