Hi,

If i go the rogue from hero, and go into the rogue isles, do I lose my stuff at wentworths, or can I access it from the black market?

And if i keep going, and go from rogue to villian, is my stuff from wentworths lost or moved to the black market?


thanks

nothing will change due to the fact the markets are merged

The only thing you'd lose access to is anything stored in your SG base. You're still in the SG (you can even pay rent!) once you go full villain, you just can't use the base until you get back.

The only other thing you'd lose if you had any Hero Merits when you become Vigilante, or any Villain Merits once you go Rogue.

Yup. It's all the same market regardless of whether you're at a Black Market Truck, Wentworth's or the Imperial or Resistance markets. So changing alignments has no effect on your stuff in the market.

i make stuff...

Wait a second... how can you pay SG rent if you're a villain? You lose access to Paragon City, and the registrar in City Hall.

You can't pay SG rent for a Hero SG as a villain, and vice versa. I would suggest making sure you have another character in the SG that has rent paying privileges so you don't have to worry about your power getting shut off.

Also, you lose any Alignment merits you may have acquired when you switch alignments, so if you're planning on switching you should spend them before you do.

There's a SG registrar in Port Oaks.

Actually, you can. I just tested it out. My scrapper is still a part of my personal SG, but fully villain, so he obviously can't get to Registrar in AP/GC to pay rent. But I just hit the one in Port Oaks and he happily took my prestige to pay the rent.

Even though the game will let you pay SG rent like that it seems weird somehow.

At the very least the rules about what you can and can't do in the "opposite alignment from the SG" situations seems randomly inconsistent. Why would the game let you pay SG rent but not let you switch to SG mode to earn Prestige or wear the SG colors? It seems like you should be able to do all of these things or none of these things. Having things "half-n-half" is just silly...

It probably has something to do with the game not really having a distinction between SG and VG. VG is a player phrase.
The PO registrar is effectively the same as the one in Atlas for rent purposes.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

It really does.

Now I'm imagining some elaborate accountancy system whereby the Port Oakes and Atlas Park registrars settle up their debts at the end of every month, exchanging appropriate amounts of the social standing that they collected in order to keep the lights on and the teleporters running.

I'd imagine that the hero side registrars would be honest and pass along the social standing properly. But the red side one has secretly hacked into the blue sides computers and whenever he gets paid, he pockets it and just sets the base to "paid in full", only occasionally actually paying off the blue side one so as not to rouse suspicion.

that's the problem with stealing "social standing"... you can't actually use it for anything without giving yourself away :P
