As long as you've been introduced to a true First Ward contact, even just the first one (the Carnie lady), you can switch from Praetorian without worry. As you said you've done four of them, you'll be fine.

It worked. I still have Magwa as a contact along with all the Talos Island contacts. Thanks!
Katie and her friends were there to send me off too. I'm glad they didn't erase that despite what I encountered from her in First Ward.

That is odd. I have done the First Ward with both Praetorians and Primal heroes and I did get a different reaction from Katie. My Praetorian has not yet 'left the planet' for Role Play reasons.|

It was short, I think just one line or two along the lines of "You helped me before but what just happened is unforgivable" (can't say more without being all spoiler-ish)
The story arc pretty much assumes that Katie has anger issues and they have to preserve that. Writing multiple sets of all her dialogue would have been burdensome. But if you don't mind running up to her again with a different character, pay very close attention.
"SARS, Bird Flue, 9/11, Anthrax in the Mail, Mad Cow Disease. Pope John Paul didn't die, he preboarded." - Christopher Titus "5th Annual End of the World Tour"
You get a dialog option to remind her who you are (and it offered both morality choices to choose from for some reason). Her response is "I thought I did that on my own" and then goes on to explain why she is mad "even if" but she obviously doesn't remember you, her formerly highly regarded BFF.
I understand that otherwise would have been two long dialog trees to write (one for resistance praetorians where she's slightly friendlier and one for betrayers and all others) but I was still disappointed. It doesn't help that I don't agree with her premise for being angry at me.
There have been a few other instances of brief recognition in that first half that were sort of cool but really, if that's the best it gets then it isn't worth it to me to stay a praetorian. I'll give those few brief smiles (or frowns) up in order to have sooner access to tips, signature arcs, supergroups, costume missions, etc.
YMMV obviously.

If there isn't going to be any real difference between how a Praetorian experiences the zone and how a Primal experiences it then I'm hard-pressed to think of a reason why I should not just come on over so I can have all the benefits of being Primal (costume/cape missions, primal teams, supergroups, etc).
My question is, has anyone "passed over" in the middle of running the First Ward arcs? Did you get to keep your place in line? If I go visit Sheridan and travel to Talos, will I be keeping Blind Magwa as my contact or will he go the way of all my other Praetorian contacts and leave me unable to finish the story?
I assume I'll loose only the city contacts and not the First Ward contacts but I'm kind of afraid to try it because I don't want to go through those first four again just to experience the last four (currently have no intention of running them again).
