A fresh Fireteam story...(aka, an excuse to use the Spark) (Destiny)

by Mid7night ⌂ @, Rocket BSCHSHCSHSHCCHGGH!!!!!!, Friday, October 16, 2015, 02:45 (3422 days ago)

Soooo...I've got this "Spark of Light" which brings a new character instantly up to level 25...but I don't have any new characters.

It's silly to delete one of my characters JUST to use the Spark, but then I had an idea; what if I wasn't alone?

Here's the idea: Three of us start brand-spankin' new Guardians, one of each class, use our Sparks and play through the PvE story missions of Destiny as they exist now. Except for the subclass-specific forced-solo missions, we would play everything as a full fireteam of three unique Guardians.

Bonus idea: If this is interesting enough that two groups of three would do it, then we could join as a "fresh" fireteam of 6 for the Raids!

If you're wondering why I don't just put a thing in the FTB, I don't have a date in mind yet and just want to feel out some interest.

I'm planning on restarting my Warlock, so personally I'd be looking for a Titan and a Hunter, either people willing to restart or happen to have not started one yet.

Anyone else think this would be fun?

Sure. My titan's nearly useless anyway.

Will delete Warlock and do this with another Hunter.

First team of 3

Awesome! What days and times do you two usually play? I've been playing too much since TTK dropped, so I'm looking at pulling back to 3 nights a week. Also, I can't reliably play before 9pm pacific (hence Kermit and Disciple's chagrin). I'd like to schedule something regular. Would Thursday Friday Saturday work for you all?

Better days are Sunday Monday Tuesday, I think. ProbablyLast works nights but usually has those off.

I could try to record the stuff for Let's Plays.

Sunday...?

I'd be ok starting with Sunday night. I'd like to save another day or two for my other Guardians, would you be ok with just Sundays to start? With our experience and higher starting level, I don't imagine most missions taking very long (and I don't mean speed running).

Recording for LetsPlay's would be awesome! Do you capture Fireteam chat as well?

Theoretically. It's very cobbled together.

I record the video and audio coming to my PC using the network stream, which works but is unreliable, and I then record my audio separately and sync.

There is a really significant chance of failure due to how unreliable the network stream is.

I can only do Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday nights.

I can easily drop to a different team, though. My work schedule is dumb.

Oh. That works too.

I recommend this.

Yesterday I had an accident with a legendary sword and the square button. Cue deleting my Warlock, going from 2 to 25 at the tower and playing through all the vanilla story missions and TTK with my 170 Strangers rifle. Just downed Oryx and leveled up to 39 earlier this evening. Much fun was had.

You make me wish I could start playing at midnight. :-(

It's just not in the cards right now, until my son is older. I'd love to play with you guys too!

While I'd obviously love to play with you too, you and Disciple could start Team 2! We'll need two Fireteams when we get to the Raids. And while I can't usually play very early, once in a while I think I could plan ahead for a Raid.

That is definitely tempting. I don't think I could let go of my Titan or Hunter, but I wouldn't mind rebooting my Warlock. I've noticed lately that I keep mentally referring to him (my warlock) as "she." Maybe now I can fix that. Hmmm...if I do this, will that mean my Warlock will then be transgendered? :p

My titan is an adopted troubled child. She's also an Exo, and I don't think her parents would mind wiping her memory banks.

Unfortunately, it might be a few weeks before I'll have time to do this.

We'll make quite the pair. Now we just need a hunter with PTSD and we'll be all set. :)

Works for me. I'll be buried in Halo 5 for a while anyway. I may only be coming back to Destiny to give the hard mode raid a try.

Yep, me, too. My immediate goal is get my PS4 Hunter through King's Fall before Halo 5 comes out. My Titan was next in my Xbox rotation regardless, though, so this could work out well. :)

I'm also not in a hurry, for the parallel team. Actually, if this ends up culminating around Christmastime, that would probably be the best for my ability to Raid.

It was actually pretty cool. Highly recommend.
