Note: this is only a concept, nothing is official. There's some old OG gear in D2 that's no longer available to any person who missed out on that specific season/time span. Reasons for missing out can range from lack of interest in the game, being a new player, and to personal circumstances. I believe it's unfair to this group of people, since if they would have known, or would have been able to, they would've grinded that season for the specific reward/s. My solution is to incorporate a system that lets these items become available again, at the cost of being obtained through a multitude of difficult challenges per item. Difficulty of challenges may vary depending on the rarity of the item. This system is meant to provide fairness to new or returning players, while still paying respect to the OGs by making the methods incredibly difficult. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My concept: Utilizing Synthweave Templates as a currency, they will be used to buy the quest for the specific item- prices are as follows: *Helmet: 6 Synthweave Templates *Arms, legs, and mark/bond/cloak: 2 Synthweave Templates *Chest: 4 Synthweave Templates ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Option For Quest/Type of Quest: (E.g): Virtuous Helm Quest choices: PvP, PvE, Gambit -Once chosen, the player will be given an array of challenges to complete, I'm thinking around 3 or more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Types of Challenges (Examples): PvP: - Complete a flawless card in Trials of Osiris 3-times. - Get 10 Overkills (4 kills chained) in Crucible playlists. - Complete a Crucible match with at least 15-kills and no deaths. PvE: - Complete the Vault of Glass raid on master difficulty, completing the weekly challenge. - Complete 10 Grandmaster Nightfalls. - Complete each current Dungeon solo, flawlessly (highest possible difficulty). -Other PvE challenges I had in mind: Complete the Vault of Glass raid in under 30-minutes, Complete each of the current raids flawlessly. Gambit: - Down all players on the enemy team while invading, 10-times. - Complete a Gambit match while having the most kills, banked motes, and invader kills, all without any deaths. - Complete 10-matches of Gambit without any of your teammates dying. *Once the given challenges are completed, the player will be given the universal ornament of that armor and be able to use it on any armor. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Synthweave Template Exchange System: - Players will be able to exchange Synthweave Templates on other classes for templates on one specific class. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monetization Opportunities: - With the new system requiring Synthweave Templates, there's are now more of a need for them. Players can buy the templates in Eververse to ONLY buy the challenge, not the item itself. - You CAN'T buy your way through the challenges. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Challenge Swap System: -I'm debating on also incorperating a challenge swap system, I'm thinking utilizing Ascendant/Legendary Shards as the currency. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intentions: - My intention with all of this is to create something similar to the Vidmaster challenges to obtain Recon back in Halo 3. I want the ways to obtain these rare ornaments and armors to be through a show of skill and mastery, not just grinding. I want the people who already have these armors to see those who would've obtained it this way as still being respectable, overall, still maintaining the value of the armors/ornaments while still having them be available to everyone.
