I blame all the Time Manipulation characters running around. Don't they know that there are consequences to playing around with these things?!|

The Night Ward came along with the TUNEL system, which main purpouse was to help against Cole and also to evacuate Praetoria, this all happens before level 50(or should X level characters not have access to this because "it hasnt happened yet"?). This game's timeline and storyline is... wonky, at best. There are many parts of Praetoria that could still be used to keep the story going to fill the 35-50 gap, which could tie with Praetoria and have(or not have) to do with the post-war incidents. Specially when we consider our only encounter with Praemidon was with it's Avatar and our friend Hami is still on the loose. |

Just for the sake of thread completeness, my Water/Time Corr finished all the story arcs in First Ward, alternating missions with the ones from the repeteable contacts, killing some seedlings, having accumulated variable amounts of Patrol XP and using Experienced XP few times, mostly soloing... at lvl 27.
Not willing to stay there for 3 whole levels doing street hunting, repeating the very same repeatable mission ("kill the deadly Awakened bosses with tentacles in their heads in a faciclity full of DUST") or kill Seedlings to boredom, I crossed to Primal Earth. So now she is a happy Paragonian, and just completed her first TF (that was new for me, Penelope Yin).
Thanks all for the feedback!

PS: BTW, remeber I said I got the 2 "cross the Rift" missions to cross to Priaml Earth, one from Resistance and the other from Loyalist? As soon as picked heroe doing the first, the second mission dissapeared.

I have a vast patience for repetitive tasks ... my 'purely Praetorian' character just hit 48 last night. First Ward's arcs got me to level 27 and then the repeatable missions got me to 29 when the Night Ward arcs start. Night Ward arcs only got me to 34 
...
So, on to repeatable missions there ... Sir Lionel & Atherton Cromwell will still give missions trough level 40 ... but they stop at level 41. Trilogy & Fireball will give missions through level 50, but collectively they only got me to level 43. -sigh-
Then I had a thought (a somewhat rare occasion, I'll freely admit) - I have a level 40 on an old secondary account that's now a Premium account. So, I fired up both accounts & teamed the 2 characters up & could still get missions from Cromwell & Atherton on the level 40. I turned xp off on the level 40 and have been running the repeatable missions since then.
Yes ... it's a bit tedious ... but ... I'm determined to get this guy to 50 & I have enough Astral merits saved up on other characters to get the Alpha unlock & shards-by-mail to craft a common Alpha.
I really want to see if I can sucker ... err ... convince some folks to assemble some iTrials in pocket D so I can have a level 50 incarnated Praetorian run them.
Yes ... I am that easily amused (and that hard to bore.)
Since this thread's still on the first page, I'll throw my question here.
I've been working on a Going Rogue (Somewhat) All The Way character of my own: Praetoria Power arc to 20, then First Ward, then Primal Earth to 30, then Night Ward. However, thanks to the oddity that is Mr. G's arc, I finished up Imperial City with three bars left to 15. I'm thinking of doing the Responsibility arc here, then moving back to Power in Neutropolis so I can grab the badge. If I ding 20 before the next arc is over, though, can I still complete it?
I know someone had a guide to the Prae arcs around here somewhere, I can't remember who though.

As long you don't actually level. At level 20 all contacts should stop giving missions, but as long you don't level up at the trainer to 20 you should be able to continue. At least, that's been the case for most of my prae toons. (who usually end up at level 21 before they move on to either primal or first ward)

Interesting experiment and I have no doubt it's lonely. I am quite sure Praetoria is dead and people rarely start there. CoHF has put the final nail in the coffin. Having another separated starting zone was a horrible idea from the start. They obviously didn't learn their lesson after CoV. Kinda odd when you consider they went to erase the separation between blu and red side with alignment change and then added the Praetorian 1-20 zones. Just odd and a big waste of maps/assets IMO.|

Your experiment would be kinda fun but I prefer to team. I also hope they don't use any additional resources for any future Praetorian content ever. Variety is the spice of life so let's change it up a bit more often
