Silly newbie question

[ranster44]

 What I really want to do is play a Widow toon blue side. Is that possible, to have an Arachnos toon be a hero and live on the blue side?

Yes it is possible with Homecoming.  Even if you goof and the character ends up on redside, you can visit Null the Gull in Pocket D and ask him to change your alliance to something blue side.

OK. Thank you. How does one go about making that happen?

You roll the character up as normal and select "Hero" before you enter the game.  Your choices are Hero, Praetorian or Villain, then you have the choice of entering the Tutorial zone or going to Atlas Park.

 

If your character is already in game then go to Pocket D and talk to Null the Gull, the bird on top of the truck in the room on the villain side of the zone.  You'll have the option to change how buffs affect you, change your alignment and several other things.

Just a standard character creation process now.  You'll have the crab and widow archetypes during creation.  When you're all ready to go, it will give you options: go immediately to the original training ground of a side (which means you'd automatically be red or blue from the start  OR  enter the Galaxy City's destruction starting scenario (which will ask you to pick a side about midway through the scenario)  OR  choose neither and instead enter the game directly.  It should ask you immediately with this last option to choose a side.

I THINK you still have to run to Pocket D as a VEAT. Then see Null to exit to the hero side.

[ArchVileTerror]

Aye; Epic Archetypes can't start on the opposing side or run the Tutorials.

But any Hero/Villain Character can visit Null the Gull to switch sides.  Note:  Praetorians do not have this option, but you can't have an Epic Archetype Praetorian either.

Khelds and VEATS are stuck to their alignment until you talk to Null.  You can do that at level 1 though.  Good luck!

Thank you all for your help!

I'm such a newbie, I cannot find Null in Pocket D  😞

Null is standing on a truck parked toward the redside elevator.

It’s a bird npc on the truck. Took me a while to find first time as well
