A couple of problems

Here are some things that I've found.

1) Atlas Park - SG Base portal - does not give you credit for the badge for logging off next to your base or the prestige bonus when you log back in.
2) Atlas Park - The Exploration Point on top of the sphere of Atlas - you can't see it, although you still get credit for it when you find it.
3) Suppressing Power Supression - There are several places you go in the game that supress all powers. Since the rocket board suppress all your powers also, if you are on the rocket board when you enter you prevent the local power suppression from turning off your rocket board. Example - the power suppression room in AE, if you are riding the rocket board when you enter, you can fly around that room without you going into "Walk" mode.
4) I have the Going Rogue on my accounts. However, when I create a new character, I don't have the option of starting in Praetoria. I can go to Galaxy City, or to Atlas Park, or Mercy Island.
5) They removed the Black Helicopter Line at North Mercy (by the old starting area (whatever that fort is).

4) This is gonna sound like a dumb question, but what happens when you select Going Rogue on the first page of the character select screen (the one where you select Origin)? You have to select that in order to start in Praetoria.

You should still be able to make a Praetorian. It is just not intuitive how at first.

On the Character Creation screen, where you can select your Origin, there are two banner looking graphic in the upper left corner. The top one says something about "Galaxy City," and the one beneath is "Going Rogue."

Those are actually buttons to select which location to start in.

Oddly, it is more clear if you are a Free or Premium account without Going rogue/Praetoria access because there is a big lock symbol over the Going Rogue button.

I'll leave this one for now, since it would take time to test it.

I can see it.

That room no longer suppresses powers.

The upper banner Morgan Reed mentioned is CoH: Freedom. Mousing over either one will show what it means on the right side of the screen.

Apparently so.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

OK, I was wrong about starting in Praetoria, it isn't obvious how to do it. I thought that was just showing me what I had access to, and in Beta, completing the character creation was where you selected Praetoria or Galaxy City.

That room may not, but there is a room in the starting quest line in Atlas Park where you enter a warehouse "disguised" as a Hellion, you "Walk" around, pick up an item, then "find the exit". That mission also works with the hover board activated prior to entry. After "Walk"ing around with several characters, I was surprised to find myself as a Hellion flying on a Rocket Board.

A quick place you may want to check is the Auction House in Imperial City, that comes to mind as a place that has power suppression all the time, unless they changed that too.

As far as the Monitor Duty badge you get from logging at your SG base portal, you should see the day job icon under your health/endurance/experience bar. I found it when I ran a character through Galaxy, joined my SG, then logged at the portal. When I re-entered, I found that the pop-up for my first day job location was at the Auction House. So I ran back to the base portal, and there was no day job icon. I tested it at the portal in Talos, and there it was.

It's also entertaining to be disguised as a reporter, interviewing a Hellion leader (or was it a Skull?) while on a Rocket Board.

I'm surprised that this isn't in the list of known issues. I've done a /bug and I've reported it on the forums, and it still isn't in the list of known problems. Maybe it is fixed with today's patch.
