The archetypes are side-specfic. In order to unlock the Kheldians, you have to level a Blaster, Controller, Defender, Scrapper, or Tanker to level 20. Simply taking a level 20 Villainous Archetype over to Paragon City will not do it.
The Arachnos Soldier/Widow were unlocked when you got your Brute to level 20.
@Winter. Because I'm Winter. Period.
I am a blaster first, and an alt-oholic second.
1. They changed it so that you only have to have a level 20 to unlock that side's archetype.
2. You must play a hero archetype to 20 to unlock hero epics (khelds). A brute or dom counts as a villain archetype even if they start in Praetoria and then move to blue side. On the other hand, a scrapper that starts in Praetoria and moves to the Rogue Isles and is never a hero would still unlock the hero archetype.

Roll the character as a hero, not a praetorian.

And there is your issue -- you MUST level one of the hero ATs up as a hero (meaning NOT as a Praetorian).

Just to add to this, instead of starting a new topic:
If you already had characters above 20th level, are the epic archetypes unlocked? Or does one have to do it with a brand new character?
This is all news to me, as I've come back after a long hiatus. I recall having to get to 50th to unlock these...

I started to reply, and the more I thought about it, the more I realize I'd just be guessing. So, I'll just say, "Good question."

If you have a hero or villain above level 20, the appropriate EAT is accessible.|

Well I had several in the 40s on return and Arachnos classes were unlocked. No queue or anything. I went to create and they were ready to go.|

I never ever played a Zero i mean Hero ....so I was just simply clueless on the unlock.
It makes sense now that I got the explanation. I have to level on Hero side without praetoria.
It's the only thing I have not done.

Fantastic! I'll finally get to play the hero side epics. I've only gotten to 39th there.|

It was, but was lowered to a more attainable requirement of 20 a few issues back. |
Thanks for the info

They should be unlocked and ready to go. Occasionally, though, you'll have an issue where you'll have to actually log in the appropriate unlock character again before the EATs will be flagged as available.

Did you start them as heroes or Praetorians? They have to be true-blue heroes... ( Or Villains for VEATs )|

It should unlock for you, but I believe you'll have to at least log in with a side appropriate character above level 20 to trigger it. |

I don't think the game automatically knows you have a character above 20, so you have to remind it by logging one in.

My guess is it's tied to the badges you get for leveling, and iirc praetorians have unique ones.

I had returned long ago after a year to play Rogue. I made a brute and carried it over to heroes side for my first time. (never played heroes just villains) Still I can not play the epic arch types.
So after a month of playing Rogue I quit and now returned. This time I made a Dom and leveled to 22 in Heroe side after leaving Praetoria. Still no message about unlocking the arch classes.
I am stumped on what to do. I tried what another old thread suggested. By leveling once on heroes side to have it trigger. It did not trigger.
What do I do folks? I want to try those two arch types still. I am at a loss.
Note: When i returned I was able to roll Arachnos archtypes...it was already unlocked so I have no clue how they got unlocked. I quit long before it was even implemented. Clueless on how it unlocked.
