Incarnate Level Alignment Missions

So this is a pretty straightforward suggestion. Extend the current alignment system to cover incarnate "levels" also. The tips for these alignment missions would only drop from incarnate enemies and the missions would feature incarnate enemies like you see in the new Dark Astoria. The idea is to be able to work on your alignment and earn ixp at the same time, similar to how you can earn regular xp pre-50 while doing tips. This would be more of a QoL improvement really.

Great idea. Even if Incarnate Tips only dropped in the new DA I would enjoy this win win.

That would be awesome! This would also give the devs the oppertunity to slide in new characters. A hero or two that has switched alignments and villians as well. Nice!

It would certainly be a huge step beyond that stupid level 50 Morality Mission where you meet your future self as a cheesy angel/demon (depending on alignment).

At least you get the kick the crap out of your stupid looking demon butt for being such a stupid looking demonic moron. That learned me good... no way am I turning into that reject from pressing random on the character creator.

personally i think they need more alignment mishs period, i havent done many tips lately cause im just bored out of my mind of them, there are actually more variety in newspaper mishs than tips

im getting really tired of the 6 same tip mishs for each alignment

Along with this idea would be to add special tips for Cimerora and the Rikti War Zone, so you could do alignment stuff in those zones if you need a change of pace from the standard ones. This would be especially good for level 50 when you're stuck with the same tips and morality missions all the time.

That's an excellent idea, I'd say. I honestly feel we need more Incarnate stuff to do where the enemies drop Threads and give iXP. Between Dark Astoria's story arcs and repeatables and Night Ward's Belladonna arc, there's about enough to alternate without being too bored for quite some time, but it's really not enough in the grand scheme of things, especially since there are a lot of things one might want to do that don't exist for Incarnates... Such as switching alignments.

Personally, I feel there's a lot of room for interesting tips in the Incarnate game that you really can't have in the 1-50 game. For instance, remember that Madame Bellarose character that shows up from time to time in Dark Astoria? At first I was cheesed off that she made it seem like Incarnates are now a "thing" that a whole bunch of people are going through... But you know what? That actually makes for a lot of interesting stories. All of a sudden, you have people who gain immense power, and they aren't necessarily the same ones that had held the status quo up until now. All of a sudden, previously small-time hustlers are now major players, and that has the potential to introduce some pretty unusual stories. Hopefully, stories that don't involve Frostfire.

Say, for instance, you overhear some thugs talking about how some villain has now become an Incarnate and his power has grown ten-fold. All of a sudden you realise that you saw a police report saying Longbow had cornered the man earlier this morning and were moving in to arrest him, not aware that he's considerably more power than they expect him to be. All of a sudden, you have to fly to the rescue of these guys so they don't get creamed... Or you can tell them you'll handle the situation yourself and beat the guy into a greasy spot. Prisons won't hold him, obviously, but if he's afraid you'll break all of his teeth if he so much as looks at a bank, he might just stop committing crimes.
