== Early 'Tips' ==
The first tantalizing in-game reference to Alignment Tip missions comes from the dialogue text related to the ferryman NPC Submarine Janus, who was introduced in Issue 17: "Additionally, you will dismiss any Alignment Tip missions that you have not completed.  You will need to acquire the tips again in the standard way in order to run those missions."  Naturally, there is no information about "the standard way" to acquire such tips.--[[User:Eternalgentleman|Eternalgentleman]] 02:04, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

== Hey there ==
Hey there,
I'm pretty sure the alignment details are wrong.. I've heard the dev's describe it as Heroes go vigilante, villains go rogue, and this allows the accesses listed, and it's not so much a chain. If someone has reference for this chain system than could that please be cited?-

== Praetorian Factions Mirroring Primal Alignments ==
Arguments can be made in more than one direction for each of the Praetorian factions, and thus forcing a single "Primal Earth Alignment" on any one Praetorian faction is ''highly'' subjective. Even within each faction, there are characters that subscribe differently to their factions' "beliefs". I do not agree AT ALL with their inclusion in the article. ~ {{:User:Aggelakis/Sig1}} 22:57, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
:Agreed with Aggelakis on the point that any particular Praetorian story branch can fall into more than one Alignment. Sure, Loyalist Power resembles Rogue, but also Villain and Vigilante. We could put together a committee to find which is most like what, but that's all for the point of something that's subjective, and therefore shouldn't find its way into the article. --[[User:GuyPerfect|GuyPerfect]] 00:56, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
::The ''most'' it would warrant on the page is a brief mention that there are no direct relationships between the Primal and Praetorian alignments. --[[User:Eabrace|Eabrace]] [[File:Healthbar notify phone.png|20px|link=User talk:Eabrace]] 02:54, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
:::There's one exception where Praetorian alignments are directly mapped to Primal alignments: the Valentines mission. It treats Loyalists like Villains, and Resistance like Heroes. -- [[User:Leandro|Leandro]] 12:10, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
::::I added a section under the Praetorian alignment top-level header regarding alignment distinctions. (I also linked the faction storylines.) As none of the Praetorian alignments ''directly'' compare, beliefs and actions, to Primal alignments, this is IMO the only concession to be made. ~ {{:User:Aggelakis/Sig1}} 17:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


== Alignment Sandbox ==
{{tl|AlignmentIcon}}
Issue 18 Badges
=== Overview ===
There are some "shared" badges that will be always assigned to praetorians after they leave praetoria, like [[Lead-Follower Badge]]. Even after they switch to Hero or Villain and back again.
But Heroes and Villains will swap the "shared" badge when they switch sides, like [[Tourist Badge]] and [[Visitor Badge]]
=== Types ===
==== Duplicate vs Identical ====
If 2 badges have different {{slashcommand|settitle}} numbers, then they are different badges. However, some badges are similar.
: Lead-Follower, Tourist, and Visitor all have the same requirements. Obtain 10 badges.
: Lead-Follower is exclusive to characters that start as Praetorians. Changing alignments on Primal Earth does not change this badge's name.
: Tourist and Visitor will change its name based on a Primal Earth character's alignment.
: Therefore, Tourist and Visitor are Identical, while Lead-Follower and Tourist are Duplicates. {{red|subject to change}}


Later on, [[Pathfinder Badge]]'s requirements are 100 badges, and is the same text for heroes and villains, with different badge art.
There is a very major difference between "mirror" and "resembles". I'll lay it out like this.
But Praetorians get [[Knows He/She Knows Not]]


==== Similar ====
Wardens: Fight to protect the people, while breaking the established law. If they have to encounter the authorities, then so be it. Vigilante.
There are a bunch of Accomplishment Badges that have similar icons, but are unobtainable if you are not a member of that faction. That's fine, but you can keep the badge when you switch alignments.
* [[File:badge_stature_01.png|32px]] [[Negotiator_Badge]]
* [[File:v_badge_StatureBadge1.png|32px]] [[Plague Carrier Badge]]


=== Suggestion ===
Crusader: Interested in only destruction and wrecking things. Some may have good intentions, but they are definitely doing the wrong thing. Villain.
Have an "obtained by" section. Perhaps have it restrict to a single template like {{tl|image}} does.
<div style="margin: 0.5em;">
{| style="background-color: #F4F4FF; border: 1px solid #AAAAFF;"

|| <nowiki>{{Image|badge_image.png}}</nowiki><nowiki>{{AlignmentObtained}}</nowiki>
|| style="width: 100%; padding: 0.25em;" |
|}</div>


Power: Money, fame, fortune. They want to be the top dog and want everyone to know it. Rogue.


Loyalist: Protects the people, upholds the law. Does everything in the best interest of the city and its preservation as a peaceful utopia. Hero.

Early 'Tips'

The first tantalizing in-game reference to Alignment Tip missions comes from the dialogue text related to the ferryman NPC Submarine Janus, who was introduced in Issue 17: "Additionally, you will dismiss any Alignment Tip missions that you have not completed. You will need to acquire the tips again in the standard way in order to run those missions." Naturally, there is no information about "the standard way" to acquire such tips.--Eternalgentleman 02:04, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey there

I'm pretty sure the alignment details are wrong.. I've heard the dev's describe it as Heroes go vigilante, villains go rogue, and this allows the accesses listed, and it's not so much a chain. If someone has reference for this chain system than could that please be cited?- Dekar 16:42, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

In fact I would like to reference the Herocon keynote which detailed the alignment and set forth that when a villain falls they ARE a rogue and they can go to paragon city, etc, and the opposite for heroes. Unless someone can present a source for the chain system, I am going to keep the changes. - Dekar 16:55, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

I am seeing something in the recent QA that references a total switch, So I may have been mistake, Terribly sorry, Just going off of the facts presented. Dekar 17:12, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Villains can become heroes. They first have to become rogues, and then further Alignment Tip missions will make them full heroes. However, they can remain rogues if they like, and have access to both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. If they become full heroes, they only have access to Paragon City.
Heroes can become villains. They first have to become vigilantes, and then further Alignment Tip missions will make them full villains. However, they can remain vigilantes if they like, and have access to both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. If they become full villains, they only have access to the Rogue Isles.
No, I can't cite specific posts because the citations are spread out over many interviews, casual dev posts, videos, etc. But yes, this is how it is done. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 17:25, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Here's a source: [1] Look for the section where Melissa responds to "What’s the process of becoming a Vigilante or Rogue?". It indicates that heroes who become vigilantes can eventually become full-fledged villains... and then indicates that they would then still have opportunities to reverse the switch. -- Sekoia 03:19, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

I revised the information on alignment within Praetoria, going into more detail about the two groups that make up each of the two sides. The section on true "Heroes" and "Villains" should probably be expanded to include information on, or links to information on, the new Hero and Villain merits and lounges. Garielle 17:29, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

There is not a badge for staying true that gets revoked if you change alignment. -- Snow Globe 18:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

There's one exception where Praetorian alignments are directly mapped to Primal alignments: the Valentines mission. It treats Loyalists like Villains, and Resistance like Heroes. -- Leandro 12:10, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
I added a section under the Praetorian alignment top-level header regarding alignment distinctions. (I also linked the faction storylines.) As none of the Praetorian alignments directly compare, beliefs and actions, to Primal alignments, this is IMO the only concession to be made. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 17:29, 24 May 2011 (UTC)


There is a very major difference between "mirror" and "resembles". I'll lay it out like this.

Wardens: Fight to protect the people, while breaking the established law. If they have to encounter the authorities, then so be it. Vigilante.

Crusader: Interested in only destruction and wrecking things. Some may have good intentions, but they are definitely doing the wrong thing. Villain.

Power: Money, fame, fortune. They want to be the top dog and want everyone to know it. Rogue.

Loyalist: Protects the people, upholds the law. Does everything in the best interest of the city and its preservation as a peaceful utopia. Hero.

Any objections? Mondocool 23:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Objections.
Warden: Infiltrate the political infrastructure of a malignant dictatorship to rescue and protect the oppressed. Hero. (See: the level 40-50 Hero Morality Mission where you rescue a Bane Spider from Grandville)
Crusader: Plot against the aforementioned dictatorship to prevent it from causing any further harm, even if causing harm in doing so. Vigilante. (See: that Vigilante tip where you fail to stop an earthquake)
Power: Disregard the wishes and concerns of all around you in order to get what you want for yourself. Villain. (See: Mayhem Missions)
