Civilian Tip Missions

[Krimson]

What if once in a while when you click on a civilian, it opens a dialog box and offers you a tip mission? Maybe the civilian could drop a clue by saying Psst or something as they walk by? It could be another way to obtain tips or missions without having to fight things.

Interesting idea, but I don't understand this part:

I'd particularly be open to it if it gave us a way to acquire Going Rogue tips that we had already outlevelled.

Tips often drop after defeating mobs of appropriate level in a zone. This idea would offer an alternative means of getting Tips.

That would be nice even if accepting the mission exemps to the right level.

Incorrect. Tips drop after defeating mobs in a zone after the character has reached level 20. The mobs do not need to be appropriate level. I've repeatedly gone after tips by going into any grey con zone to defeat mobs to get the tips. And I get them just fine.

Thanks for the correction.

This is a cool idea. I believe Champions Online has something very similar.

Interesting. Good to know this the next time I am Tip hunting.

Champions Online did this in a way.  If you rescued a civilian being mugged or what have you, occasionally they would give you a mission to do.  I kind of liked it, gave us a reason to do some street sweeping.
