Big unrealistic idea up top using as much recycled content as possible. Small community challenges, like the recent dungeon challenges below. Thank you for checking this out, and would love feedback. New Light Legendary + EXPANDED Campaign. GOAL: reuse and reintegrate old content to create a Destiny 2 Classic (lite). Recreate ‘you had to be there moments’ (think Evanf content or pre-expansion hype) and incorporate them into modular quests that display explicit rewards (QUEST: Legendary Weapons; EDZ quest line; Gives 21% Delirium). The quest lines should be similar to Into The Lights explicit quests for those weapons. Use this as an opportunity to let veteran guardians relive miniaturized versions of iconic seasonal moments, add more optional substance to the New Light experience, and rally the player base together for a Community Goal that gives a cosmetic reward and some kind of loot-bonus to the upcoming Pantheon 2.0. * Give optional quest lines that clearly organize into Weapons, Armor, Exotics, Abilities, and Fashion. Use low-effort but simple enough objectives for completions (get 50 hand cannon kills in Crucible). Sprinkle lore interactables delivered by characters within these quest lines (text chats with Xur, Pharsis NPCs, Shaw Han’s fireteam. Dual Rewards for players of both kinds (Sunset/Nostalgic gear + cosmetics/currencies for Veterans AND Pursuit/Pinnacle gear + Subclass abilities + 1-2 tier higher rewards) * Tie an emblem to beating it for collectors (completing the legendary new light campaign with a guardian who hasn’t done it before rewards an emblem) * Use the lore pickups (with Xur as the interact) to drop story hints and give +1-9 strange coins each for chroniclers * Use rarely heard OST soundtracks for quest missions and instances (Year 1-3 tracks like ‘The Hunted’ or ‘Keep of Voices (High Action)’ * Create dredgen’s dash style triumph and cosmetic for completing reused but beefed up content for the speed-runners (Episode Heresy Final Mission with modifiers and banes) * Put year 1-3 Crucible ornaments into Crucible playlists for PvP enjoyers (Phoenix Battle Ornaments for rng wins) * Take the pinnacles from the exotic kiosk and put them behind challenges/reused adventures for new players gearing up * Make a super spam big challenge for people to celebrate attaining their abilities * Tie new light quest steps to the featured matchmade portal activities (start meshing new with current players) * Make a community challenge where if 2 million players beat the new light main campaign then there a cosmetic rewards (bright dust, sunset cosmetics, etc) and a sale for select expansions/dlc * Use altered existing post campaign missions to provide strong new light gear and swathes of relevant lore tabs (Preservation with a time-constraint, gravity banes, and an appearance of shadow rhulk as VOW tease) * Use the text based lore to give more life and substance to the fireteam in New Light (reuse Pharsis guardians or existing models) * Use vaulted seasonal story missions to create compelling, but expedited quests for new players to engage with * Implement as many of the stored in-game cutscenes and scripted moments as possible (Red War cutscene for loading into EDZ for the first time/ Ikora using a Nova Bomb on Ultra unit and set the quest during the post FS cutscenes where the new Vanguard fireteam is active on the field again. * Use Holiday event activities to pull quest steps from (Guardian Games Boss Rush, Haunted Sectors, etc.) * Post unused lore tabs/additional scraps of story online and say they are unconfirmed/unreliable praxic or hidden reports to build story investment (Nokris tabs building up to Warmind, Baron stories hyping up forsaken) * Take earnables from Ikora, Monument to Lost Lights, and Monument to Seasons Past and make them quest rewards from recycled but modified activities. * Hide secret challenges that open up around progressed Quest areas that give world/activity-loot pool catalysts or sunset gear that people may have cleaned out (Wander to Niobe Labs area, Court of Blades-style boss encounter inside, drops Izanagi’s Catalyst and Stryker’s Sure-Hand w/ Obsidian Radiance) * Reuse The Hall of Champions with Shaw Han to get New Lights and Veterans into the same instance for claiming New Light Event rewards and visually monitoring community goal progress. BONUS POINTS if especially challenging or secret accomplishments give some sort of in-game trophy for you and your fireteam. * Place beefed up, unique, and Named Wanted enemies into portal activities and hunting them parts of longer quest lines (Bullet sponge Scorn Baron/Subjugator/Brood Queen in Arena Ops) BONUS POINTS if these named enemies get snippets of lore to interest new lights and reward veterans * Reuse Legend/Master Lost Sectors for low-hanging quest steps. * Raid/Dungeon prep quest lines that give you minimum viable gear for those specific activities (Crota’s End Quest fighting Hive, learning context, doing Dares of Eternity (Hive) or Nightmare Hunts, and rewarding curated Swords and Machine Guns) Short-term Community Challenges: * Campaign Challenges/Nuzlockes (See ToadSmoothie, Rylee Reloaded, Nuktuk) * Low-Man Activities (Solo GM, low-man raids, 6 player GM Excision) * OOB challenges (Galaxy Pools, Niobe Labs, 6-man Leviathan Throne Room) * Community Creation Challenges (Art, Movie, Food, Music) * Triumph Score Contest (Fireteams hitting score increase thresholds) * Firing Range DPS Rotation Contest (Fireteams hitting DPS thresholds) * Title/Seal-Themed Fashion (Fashion Contests for thematic/creative Seal sets) * Zero to Hero Raid Challenge. (Back to back VOG, KF, CE using only blues or lower AND raid drops) * Community Catalyst Hunt (Helping x number of players complete a dungeon catalyst quest line during a specific window of time) * All Encounter Challenge/Triumph Raids (full raid run completing every challenge/triumph) * Ghost Community Theater Performance (using the Pharsis Ghost Community Theater to act out iconic Destiny moments)
