Can't get to Praetoria, am I missing something?

Hello, I just purchase GR from the Paragon Market. I went to Pocket D and went to the portal next to the bathrooms and am unable to enter. I read on the forum somewhere that it was to correct portal. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

If you bought the item called Going Rogue from the in-game store, that is not the praetorian content from the of expansion. It is the alignment system.

I do not have the ability to create a Praetoria char. I thought that's where I had go for the GR content. So if ging to Praetoria is not where I go then, where do I go if I want to change alignment? I am a villain currently.

Thanks,

Actually you should be able to at least take a character to tour through Praetoria without having access to Going Rogue. There's no content to do there for non-praetorians except the live events as it is.

As for changing alignment, you do tips. When you're level 20+ enemies will have chances to drop Tips, which are special 1 time missions you get under your contacts tab. They let you choose between 2 different objectives based on the alignment you're working toward.

To change alignment, do 10 tips of the Alignment you want to move toward, then do a Morality mission. It goes in a cycle. Villain -> Rogue -> Hero -> Vigilante -> Villain.

So if you want to move from Villain to Hero, you will do 10 Rogue Tips, then a Rogue Morality mission. This will change you from Villain to Rogue. Then you can 'tour' in Paragon City to accrue tips that let you choose between Rogue/Hero. If you do 10 hero tips, then a Hero Morality mission you'll change to a Hero.

Some more details about changing alignment:

Since you get tips from enemies level 20 or higher, I like to head to Sharkhead Isles. Kill anything that moves. Note that it can take a surprisingly long time for tips to drop, some days -- it's random, but bosses will drop tips much more often than minions, so kill any boss you see.

After you complete your five tip missions, there is a 20 hour cooldown before you can run any more (at least, before you can get any more tips yourself or before you can get credit for running anyone else's). There are five buttons that fill in when you complete tip missions (on the tip mission tab under contacts), and they will say something like "You have been remembered for this deed for five hours" when you mouse over one. When it's been 20 hours it will say "you are no longer remembered for this deed". That's when you know you can find new tips to run.

A morality mission should drop once you've completed 10 rogue missions (there are separate progress bars that will show you how many of these you've completed, even if it's been 3 weeks or whatever since you last played the character). You get these the same way as tip missions, by killing level 20+ enemies, bosses preferred. At the end of a morality mission you can change your alignment, and I don't really need to explain that part since there are a lot of warnings and "are you really sure?" type messages.

The tip missions that you get Villain-side are only: Villain, or Rogue. If you are a Vigilante hunting Villain-side, then you will only get tips with Villain as an option. The tip missions you get Hero-side are only: Hero, or Vigilante. If you are a rogue hunting hero-side then you will only get tips with Hero as an option.

So if you want to go from Villain to Hero, you have to run 10 tips v-side where you pick the Rogue option, then your morality mission, and then you have to move hero-side and run 10 more hero tips and the hero morality mission. 4 days minimum.

Rogues can go hero-side via Pocket D, Rikti War Zone, or via the super sekrit smuggler submarine in Sharkhead Isle, that leads to a matching submarine in Independence Port. Also through Midnighters.

When you move from one side to the other, you will lose all your current missions for the side you're leaving. You'll get a warning about this EVERY time you leave a co-op zone, even if you've been playing hero-side for 9 months and are only exiting to hero-side again. It's a bit annoying. Also, rogues/vigilantes can't have or use villain or hero merits, so you will lose those when changing alignment if you haven't used them. But your regular merits aren't affected.

If you're a Rogue playing hero-side, or a Vigilante playing villain-side, don't use an ouro portal. It will takes rogues to the villain ouroboros and vigilantes to the hero ouroboros.

I believe "Lower Praetoria" is still restricted to those who have access o it's content. Even for simple tours.

Also - if you have progress on multiple alignment bars - i.e. Hero and Vigilante - running and compleating a morality mission will clear both.

Also, tips are in ranges of 10 levels - 20-29, 30-39, 40-50 - and are all cleared when you pass to the next bracket.

As noted the fame limit on doing tips only affects Alignment tips. Morality tips, as well as other special tips like holiday event tips, ignore fame and drop as long as their requirements are met.

That is odd. probably something they forgot to fix since anyone can go to First Ward already.
