Going Rogue clarifications

A Praetorian doesn't have access to the three areas. They only have access to Praetoria only. They have to decide if they are heroes or villains to know where they will enter on Primal Earth (Paragon City OR Rogue Isles). At that point, if you want to be able to go to the three areas, you have to go Rogue or Villain like for any character. It's all the same system.

So the statement that Praetorians can access all three areas was incorrect? I see that this post has been edited.

Yeah, Orion Star is making a good job with that post, and updating it with new information.

So in essense if I want to create a Villain AT as a Hero, I can create him in Preatoria, then choose to take him to Paragon City. I cannot create a Villain AT as neutral, however, neither a hero nor a villain, and I have to choose one side and then go back towards the grey.

Do Preatorians use the normal GR system when not on Preatorian Earth, and their own Loyalist/Resistance factions at home?

Posittron said there will (probably) be both markets in Praetoria they have some sort of cross dimensional trading ability.

Praetorian PC's will have to make a choice before traveling to Primal Earth: Hero or Villain. At that point they are what they picked and are treated like any Primal Earth PC of that alignment.

And Positron said no trading between alignments except for inspirations (A nice new QoL change as well).

If you want to play a Villain in Paragon City, you can...

1) A Villain who become a Rogue. You then have access to Rogue Isles and Paragon City. You still get Infamy, must use Black Market.

2) A Villain who become a Rogue who become a Hero (Redeemed Villain). You are then technically a Hero with only access to Paragon City. You then earn Influence and can use WW.

3) A Praetorian with a Villain archetype. You decide to become a Hero so therefore you go to Paragon City when you go to Primal Earth.

4) A Praetorian with a Villain archetype. You decide to become a Villain so therefore you go to the Rogue Isles when you go to Primal Earth. You then become a Rogue. You then have access to Rogue Isles and Paragon City.

5) A Praetorian with a Villain archetype. You decide to become a Villains so therefore you go to the Rogue Isles when you go to Primal Earth. You then become a Rogue, and then a Hero (Redeemded Villain). You're technically a Hero with only access to Paragon City and not Rogue Isles.

6) Any other paths you decide to use, you can play the yo-yo from hero to villain as much as you want. It remains to be seen what effects on characters will happen if you change often, or if you dont change at all (i.e. exemplary heroes).

Praetoria is not mentionned for any of the paths above becasue no matter what, all the characters will have access to Praetoria so they can do redeeming and corrupting arcs to change their moralities.

You should be able to stay a Vigilante or Rogue. It's an entire process your have to go through before your flip alignments. I assume if you don't finish the process, you can stay in mid-conversion indefinitely.

According to Positron, that's still being worked on. They want a solution to please an many players as much as possible. (Not the exact quote, but close enough, I think)

They mentioned in one the panels about looking to add rewards for characters who remain true to their original alignment.

Alright, but lets say i am a rogue and I am on a team with heroes in PI. THen I die in a mission, can my hero team members hand me a wakie?

IF so that would rock if not i'll be sure to stock up before I head over there lol

iPwn

Does this mean vigilante/rogue cannot even use their original Market? (vigilantes can't use WW, rogues can't use BM?) If so, it really detracts from the gaming experience to go rogue.

Cool - but who can the 'greys' (vigilante/rogue) trade with? Not being able to trade on mixed teams BLOWS.

I think the answer is probably "no, they can't" - if you join Tyrant, he'll probably want proof of your abilities and loyalty before sending you to another dimension, and the same probably goes for the Resistance.
Both sides might send recruits to Primal Earth for different reasons - Tyrant might want scouts and spies there to prepare for his invasion, and the Resistance might want to send people there to try and get help, and to warn about Tyrant.

So I think there will be 2 or 3 low level Praetorian zones that will take you up to 20, and then you'll be able to head to Paragon City or the Rogue Isles, depending on the choices you've made during the 1-20 content.

Before Hero Con, Positron mentioend that you'll get to keep your badges, even if you switch sides - and I haven't heard about any change to that since then.

It looks like yes they can:

The market has never entered into my decision making to play any AT.

Healthier? My most accomplished marketer may be a villain, but I have no problems making inf in exactly the same way doing the same things either side.

I just don't understand this "merge the markets" noise.

Well, at least as I see it, the problem is that there's a paucity of goods to buy villainside regardless of how much infamy you have. Maybe they need to add a "Raid Wentworth's for Recipes" SF if they aren't going to merge the markets.

Please don't tell me Dual Pistol powerset won't come before GR
Can't wait 6-7 months for that.
/emote desperate

Highly unlikely, I'd think. No more than Broadsword and Katana got combos like Dual Blades after DB was introduced. And where would they stick the "Reload" power?

Does anyone else think that this makes even LESS sense than merging the real world markets and have Praetoria have its own market?

I love this game. I love 90% of what it offers and how it functions, but this split-market idiocy has to go away.
