Hey all. My apologies if this question has been answered previously, but I wasn’t able to find the exact answer after a fair bit of searching.
I’m currently playing through Normal/Veteran with a group of friends on hardcore (our first play through), and I have a couple of questions about how easy it will be for us to re-roll via power levelling if we die (lvl 50 and no deaths yet! :))
More specifically, I am curious about the following:
If one of us dies after we have unlocked Elite will it be required that the deceased complete ALL of the main story quests in Normal to unlock Elite, or will be able to simply open up a portal at the final boss, teleport in our recently deceased friends new character, and kill the final boss to instantly grant him access to Elite.
A level 1 character would die instantly in Elite. He’ll need to be level 40+ to have any decent chance at survival- which means he’ll need to play through most of the normal campaign anyway (or farm like heck in the crucible.)
If I were playing hardcore I wouldn’t jump to elite before 50.
You cannot complete quests out of order with your group.
So you would need to portal to every main quest and kill everything in order. You can skip a lot, like when you have to get to homestead you can just have a friend open a potral there and you skip that whole part but ya gotta do everything
You can have the level 1 character host a game, stay in town, get the other guys kill the Loghorrean, and it will unlock Elite for the level 1 even without doing any quest!
To clarify, the plan was to PL him to 40+ via massive pulls with a higher lvl character, and then tackle the final boss. Shame that it requires doing all main storyline quests in order to unlock elite, but not the end of the world.
