G-R questions not asked yet

1) If i take a hero to be a villan for example (blasterA) will that blaster be forced out of an existing supergroup. If that blaster is not I think its appropriate to assume the (blasterA) will keep his or hers supergroup rank, prestige, privligages(i.e. using bins, tps, salvage vaults etc...)

2) if the (blasterA) is forced out of the supergroup is everything lost that the (blasterA) has stored saved etc....

3) I ask because my (blasterA) has a bin of purples a bin of pvp ios a bin of reg ios, as well as 5 bins of large insp and multiple bins of orange salvage. So if i were to choose to go badge on him as he is my badger at 672 do i forfeit all the loot i saved as well as his 10 million prestige. Or is there a mechanism for me to keep all that as well as being able to go to the rouge isles


I also know that not enough info is avail as of yet but i havent heard anyone or read anyone asking this. I think this will need to be adressed for long time players and sg leaders as the will be affected.

Thank you for reading this good day...

We don't know, and I, personally, have asked these questions months ago.

We still don't know.

Why not skip to the real question. Is there going to a way we can exploit the side switching to transfer enhancements/recipes from side to side?

My guess is yes... but they'll try to limit how much that can happen.

Well if you could retain access to a SG bin

Other people/toons could put stuff in those same bins and then you could take them out. You could also put stuff in and they could take it out. That would be no different than letting heroes and villains trade.

Sounds like a real nice perk for buying going rogue.

I've probably seen more threads pointing out "we don't know" than people asking questions... yet they still ask them. Correct me if I'm wrong but the only thing that is certain is that we will be able to switch sides but the particulars of doing so are very much unknown.

i can appreciate the we dont know. Also i was not at herocon so i wasnt able to see the dev response. As far as the "ownership of the stuff in bins" well i am sg leader so i set it to be my bins.

Also is it possible for me to promote an alt to the LEADER status to secure the rougly 10 bill i have in bins. The reason it is there is there is now where else to put it im out of vault space, WW space, as well as all holding space.

I was only asking about the stuff in the base clearly my alts will hold my stuff but that raises another question. If i do go rouge on a hero can i bring a glad resist set with me in my tray and sell it there?

The reason im bringing this up is i dont see it readily on the boards i looked it may be there but its not on front 1,2,3 pages i dont have time to read the whole boards so since we must be gettin close to GR at this point as its jan now i though maybe i would re raise the discussion and bring up the impacts of such things on long time players/farmers/pvpers ( im least of pvp than farm) but still.

Also what comes to mind when we talk about this is the fact that there are so many others in my situation as im sure the posters on this must be as well. DO i sell the stuff now? Its so much influ where would i put it all?


ty for reading this and any advice or info i can get from you all in the know

Pt 2 is all the GR stuff

Also, learning to use the search page can help out a lot.

The problem here and in other threads dealing with this is that Bases were designed to belong to a *group*, not an individual. And by 'group' I mean a group of players, not a group of one player's alts.

The group that owned the base was either a group of heroes or a group of villains, and the two don't mix. (And while there are comic book examples of opposing faction groups co-operating, that line of argument is just plain stupid since those groups never last in those very same comic stories.)

So, a group of heroes owns a base. That's what SuperGroup Bases are supposed to be. Why would anyone think that a character can leave the SuperGroup, turn villain, and still have access to the base? (Again, one-time scenarios from comic books don't apply.)

"Hey, Justice League, I've decided to leave you so I can rule the world and force everyone to do things my way since I know best, so, I'm leaving. Since I did a lot of the work on the base supercomputer, I'm going to take that with me. See ya. Hey, you're blocking the computer, ow ow ow, stop that!"

Now, since their inception, Bases have evolved so that individual players can rather easily have their own private base. This has given some the idea that their base is their own private lair, and not the property of an organization. But that's not how they're set up intrinsically.

If the Devs allow a sole-owner base to transfer their base to redside, then how can they say no to the SuperLeader of a base used by an active SuperGroup of players? And if you say to allow a base to switch sides if there's only one player in it, then that would encourage SuperLeaders to kick everyone out so they can switch over 'their' base.

Heck, one loses their base by switching servers, let alone alignments. Don't see how one can switch sides and take 'their' base with them without convoluted and unrealistic role-play rationales (this *is* a mmoRPg) and causing *a lot* of bad feelings from members of SGs who've had their bases taken away from them because their SuperLeader switched sides.

Pssst, btw... I'm pretty sure when he says his 10 mil prestige, he means it looks cool when you can look at a toon's total earned prestige for an sg and see a huge number. When he say's he's gonna lose that, he just means if he rejoined he'd be back at 0. I'd feel the same about one of my doms in my sg, even though he's only at 5

As everyone has said, we don't know. As most have said, the prestige, and stuff in the bins of your SG aren't yours, it's the SGs. Did you earn it? Yes. Can you keep it? Presumably only if you don't switch sides.

Now, something to keep in mind, you can stop being a hero, but not go full villain. Now, I would assume that if you go vigilante, or rogue(The two grey areas between Hero and villain) that you would not be forced out of your SG/VG, but that you can still go to both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. So if badges are all you're concerned about, it shouldn't be an issue.

Now if it's content, switching sides doesn't mean new content. It's the same content you already have available, just not to all your toons. The new content is the missions to switch sides, and Preatoria. Going to Preatoria won't mean your hero suddenly becomes a villain, so the new content there will still be accessible.

Lastly, I just have to say something about this statement...
