Do you have to be a Hero or Vigilante to get into the Echo of GC?

I was grabbing CoH exploration badges on my Rogue last night, but when I went into Oro to go after the badges in the Echo of Galaxy City, I couldn't find the Oro portal that suppoedly takes you there. I had other things to do so I didn't bother to go looking for it on a Hero/Vig last night.

So, if I want those badges, do I have to be all the way blue? I will be eventually just to get the badges for doing that, but I was curious.

To my knowledge, the echo of GC isn't gated in any way, including by alignment.


Q. Just wondering Posi, where are the new dance emotes we were told would come with GR?

Strictly speaking, that's true. However, there are two slightly different versions of the Ouroboros zone. Heroes and vigilantes have their own Ouroboros instance, and the echo of Galaxy City can only be accessed from there. Villains and rogues use a different Ouroboros (with different missions inside the pillars of fire and ice, different zone destinations at the exit, and no echo of Galaxy City).

So no, villains and rogues cannot visit Galaxy City's echo.

I expect Echo Dark Astoria will work in much the same way, only being available to heroes and vigilantes. Has anyone checked yet?

Neither Echoes on Beta are available in the Villain Ouroborus zone.

Missed the part where the OP referenced his "rogue." You're quite right, of course.
