lvl 28 resistance praetorian with hero contact TP weirdness

[Ridiculous Girl]

i have a level 28 resistance praetorian that has been running in first ward since leaving praetoria proper. I just ran on a spring blue wedding team in pocket d, and was trying to decide what to do next and checked my find contacts list. i noticed that i had mistress eva in talos island as an available contact, and i had the option to teleport to her. know that i should not be able to access red or blue side zones, i tried it for science! it showed the talos loading screen, and maybe just for a second, talos, and then it sent me to nova praetoria, with a mapserver notice for a second or two.  otherwise, i am still alive and back in praetoria. 🙂

Yep. When you do winter missions, it will give you percy iirc, which you can't get to either.

 

I think there are a couple other cases where you'll get the bounce out of Primal back to Nova.

interestingly enough, the base ouro crystal gives me all of the hero missions and i can teleport to the contact, though i get bounced out and sent to nova praetoria again. 😄

Yep.

 

If the mission given by the Ouro crystal is a "Board Transit" mission, sometimes Team Teleport works.

I've gotten Valentines that have to go to villain contacts as a hero (not a vigilante), while doing hero missions.  When accepting the Valentine mission, the target was in Grandville, so I had to just dismiss it.

Unlike regular tips, you can switch alignments without them being dismissed.  (It's the praetorians that get stuck with them)

Yes, but switching alignmants would be wildly out of character (and also can be viewed in your character info, so I can't even "that didn't happen" it.)

Valentine tips should be dismissable regardless of current character alignment in regards to the tip's own 'alignment'. If a Praetorian is getting non-Praetorian Valentine's tips? The Praetorian needs to be able to dismiss those tips. If a hero is getting Rogue Isles Valentine's tips? The hero needs to be able to dismiss those tips. Same with a villain getting Paragon City Valentine's tips. The tip system needs to be adjusted.

I was able to dismiss the villain Valentines I got, so they were merely a mild annoyance.  If Praetorians are getting ones they can't dismiss, that's an actual problem.

Gotcha.  Almost put that as a qualifier.

Rather than simply forcing these to be dismissable, a hero (villain) Valentine tip that sends you to the Rogue Isles (Paragon City) should be forced into the "board transit" type of mission that takes you to a small instanced map where the recipient happens to be located, like the "From Mynx" tip that has you board transit to go to Arbiter Sands' other hidden base. And similarly for still-Praetorian characters getting Valentine tips that send them to a recipient on Primal Earth.

We'd need a Board Transit option for Praetorians.  (my suggestion was for pocket d, but they could use something somewhere)
