QoL and incarnate stuff

Here's my first suggestion.

When doing the normal mission arcs from 1-50 (ie the content), not ae; not radio/paper; and not flashback. You should get some incarnate drops/rewards. Yes these are not useable yet. But by allowing this stock piling as you level through playing the game without short cuts, you would be cutting down on the grind of post 50. And also you would be encouraging team play of the game and not power leveling. Story wise after all you do get noticed by the well. Having the well take notice after you hit 50 is like a Football scout taking notice of you after you win the superbowl. Scouts look at college and sometimes high school players for the future. Why not have the well looking at lowbies as future incarnates.

Second suggestion.

XP and drop increase for low pop servers. This would help spread out the population to reduce lag and to breath life back into dead servers.

------

Third suggestion

Epic power pool for VEATS. Even if it is a simple mental/device type one.

There are no "dead servers."

Some of us like not being on Freedoom.

First am unsure about.

2. No. Hell no. Coding and RP nightmare

3. Yes. Hell yes.

Suggestion one seems like it could be a coding nightmare. What sort on incarnate stuff gets dropped? Shards? Threads? Components for the Alpha slot? or ones for Judgement, Lore, Interface and Destiny? Will there be some mission they need to run to gain access? I mean when the Alpha slot arrived we had an entire arc to complete before we could start getting shards. With the new stuff we get Incarnate XP to open each power and now apparently you can use that XP to open the Alpha without doing the arc. Still a 50 level is required to do SOMETHING to gain access to this stuff so I can't see them just suddenly giving it to a 10 level. Not saying its a terrible idea they just need to give players some mission or arc to complete and they occasionally get a drop to horde till 50 level.

Like Tech and Bill I don't see your second idea at all. We have players that get upset over the smallest details I can just imagine the screaming if suddenly players on Freedom or Virtue are suddenly not getting the EXACT same drop rate as less populated servers. And as Bill said there are no dead servers in this game.

Your third idea is interesting and I'd enjoy seeing it. Give Veats their own set of Epics that fall in line with what they already have now. Of course the AT powers themselves are awesome and at one point my Crab Spider had a build that didn't even have any Patron powers.. I wanted more of the one's available too much. After Stamina became inherent I did a respec and picked up a 6th Spider pet
