An Alternative to Progeny

    Just wanted to put this somewhere. An idea I had.

     


    When you reach max level you choose one of two paths. 

    Become a Legend or Begin a Lineage 

    Characters who choose to become a Legend can level up a new
    experience bar and gain alternate advancements to empower their characters further.
    Advancement as a Legend is powerful and unique to Legend characters. 

    Characters who choose to begin a Lineage gain strength
    differently. The more progeny and the stronger the progeny become the stronger
    and more advanced all characters part of the Lineage become. Advancement of a
    Lineage is powerful and unique to characters part of a Lineage. 

    While beginning a lineage will not yield powerful results
    quickly like that of a legendary character, over time a Lineage will become
    more powerful than Legendary characters. 

      

    Tier list. 

    Normal---Normal max lvl character 

    Better---Max Lvl Legend character 

    Best---Max Lvl Progeny of a Max lvl Lineage 

      

    Caveat 

    All three types of these characters are able to group and do
    all content at max level. There should be a difference between the 3 types but
    not such a difference to prevent somebody from being ‘included’ in content.

    I like it, and I think what you are describing is likely to be in game.  Basically you are describing AAs and Progeny.  I think we expect both at some point.  Unsure if AAs will be available on release.
