Side switching questions

After Praetoria I will become either a Rogue or Vigilante, yes? Does that allow me to access both Villain Side and Hero Side? Is there a reason to go 100% Hero or Rogue? (some sort of loyalty reward?)

Now, if I go Hero and then take an Ancillary set what happens to that when I switch? Am I automatically changed to a Patron Pool? Basically, could I have a villain character with the Hero powers?

thanks!

No, you become either a Hero or Villain after Praetoria. After that, you can run Tip missions to change alignment.

If you're a Hero with an ancillary and you change sides, you keep the ancillary.

The advantage of Vigilate/Rogue is access to both sides. The advantage of Hero/Villain is alignment merits.

If your a Hero you have to switch to full on Villian and then run a Patron Arc to unlock your PPP.

You can then sideswitch back and you will still have your PPP's for ever.

You don't have to change sides to do that if you're a villain. APPs unlock right away. You do have to change sides if you're a hero and want a Patron pool. Unlock it, then take it with you.

If you've only played an AT once (one set combo) and "hate" it - don't give up. Roll a different combo. It may just be those sets not clicking for you.

does this work also to... change from hero to villain - then unlock PPP - then switch back to hero and later change back to the hero ancillary?

Yes.

Cool thanks guys and girls!

A hero archetype will always have access to their appropriate APP. A hero archetype has to be a villain to unlock PPPs (either post-Praetoria, or via alignment switching), but once they have been unlocked, that hero archetype will awlays have access to PPPs, even if they stop being a villain.

While I am asking - what does the Mace PPP Scorpion Shield (for a Blaster) look like? Is it a purple glow?

IIRC, it's closer to blue than purple. And, of course, it has Black Scorpion's symbol. It's been a while since I've seen it, though.

That is essentially correct. As with the other patron pools, it has a pulsating graphic of the symbol of the corresponding patron that is at about chest height.

About Praetoria and later alignment... Can I put off the lvl 20 Praetoria mission to leave the zone and go to the Primal Earth? Indefinitely?

If I do complete this mission will I still be able to return to team up with my lower-level friend?

You can put it off and, in theory, reach level 50 entirely in Praetoria without ever going to Primal Earth.

Doing so is a bad idea, however, because you will soon be unable to buy enhancements, unless you use the market heavily or engage in mail-related shenanigans. You also don't have to, because you can go back to Praetoria whenever you want. The portal is in Pocket D.

No. You can only access Pocket D. You have to do the mission and pick a side to get any hero or villain content.

I totally said the wrong thing there...

by: Can I put off the lvl 20 Praetoria mission to leave the zone and go to the Primal Earth? Indefinitely?

I meant: Can I put off the mission to leave and stay in Praetoria?

Oh yeah. You can stay as long as you like. The mission where you choose a faction is the last one and you can put it off indefinitely.
