Nightmare Missions and Lack of Long-Term Incentive

[ArcKnight9202]

Nightmare missions are sort of forgotten. Outside the odd Nightwave event they don't see much use anymore. Especially since Alerts were removed. I was thinking of a fun way to make these more useful.

Akin to the Fomorian and Razorback, have a gauge that builds up based on how many nightmare missions are run. After that gauge is full, have some fun event like a Nightmare Sortie with things like increased starting levels, more penalties, etc etc. Obviously have some fun rewards for doing so.

There is a lot of terminology in the game already for dreaming and stuff so it would be thematically appropriate. Maybe unlock it after The Second Dream? The Second Nightmare? /shrug

I just thought it would be a fun reason to do these missions here and there over time.

Thanks for reading.

Edit: I might suggest a token system. This way if there are riven rewards it won't block participation to people like me who are at the cap.
