Getting out of Praetoria

Hiya,

I just wanted to know if you could quickly get out of Praetoria and go into the world say at level 1 - 2?

Thanks in advance

Some would say that Praetoria is part of "the world".

It's not some kind of extended tutorial.

Anyway; no, you can't.

You can get to Pocket D but you can only return to Praetoria from there.

Ah Shame, its just that Praetoria has some very laggy maps (something to do with the lighting on the office / warehouse type maps) for me and my laptop.

I'll just cope with it and get to 20 then go heroes

i've been playing the game since US Beta... I don't need an extended tutorial

All I want is to dance under the Atlas statue

You don't need to start all new characters in Praetoria, just your first one. Create a new toon and you'll be able to start in Paragon City.

Nope, you cant create say a dominator straight onto heroes... Will have to do either going rogue or Preatoria first

@Carnifax_NA yeah thought that oh well

I totally understand where you are coming from. I almost came to a standstill trying to level my Praetorian because of the lag - although mine was only in the outside world. It was such a pain to turn down the graphics to play him then turn them back up in the rest of the game. If it weren't for the excellent stories I'm sure I would have deleted him somewhere along the line.

Really there is no reason for NCSoft not to allow creations of all non EAT in Blue or Red side. With the moral lines becoming all grey anyway. Also Preatoria seems to be exactly that a tutorial for your villian to go blue side. Finding hero AT in preatoria is rare.

Got plenty of toons lvl 7-12 trapped in Praetoria. If they could come to Paragon, I could find teams and such again, but now I am stuck soloing them to 20 and that just feels like a chore, now that I have done all the storylines.

I guess Praetoria was not designed for grave cases of altitis such as myself :-)

So if you want a Dominator in Paragon City, and you are finding soloing in Preatoria too hard, laggy, etc., - go ahead and create the new Dominator in the Isles, rush through the 1-20 content and then side switch. If Praetoria is really that slow, then you should be able to get to Paragon City faster by the old fashioned CoV stuff until you switch.

@Ad Astra, yes that was the only other option

oh well

Another possible option...Have a friend create a Primal toon and meet them in Pocket D. Level Pact your Praetorian with your friends Primal toon. PL your friends primal toon to 20, and viola! Your Praetorian is now lvl 20 and free to go blue side, and your friend gets a free lvl 20 toon out of the deal.

P.S. I have never actually done this because I hate farming, but it is possible and available as an option, my SG mates do it fairly often.

Praetoria didn't seem to slow down until all the end-game stuff popped up, meaning everyone was playing their 50. It should get better over time.

I do know what you guys mean by it being slow though; I tend to play late at night or early morning and even on Freedom it's hard to find people to team with.

I have had a completely opposite experience.

On my first couple Praetorians, I had to turn off XP just to get through all the story arcs on one side. That's just from soloing too.

Some of the later arcs (starting at the teen levels) start throwing some MASSIVE Story Arc Bonus EXP at you, sometimes multiple times in the same arc. Enough Exp to give you up to half a level just for completing key missions in the arc.

For Praetorians, even solo, the lower levels go fast, well, because they're lower levels and the higher levels (up to 20) tended to go fast because of all the bonus Exp that you're granted.
