    Haven't played in a long long while and was wondering if we can switch factions.

    Such as Hero to Villain? Not possible, unless you delete the hero/villain character and remake them on the opposite side.

    There is no way to switch factions. I believe the issue could be withing the game's coding.

    They said it would be unlikely to allow faction swapping, but they also said that they were working towards allowing cross faction grouping... Which probably got stalled due to the staffing issue.

    "Not possible," and "No way," hmmmm. Really? How do you know its not just "extremely difficult" or "too labor intensive?"

    With enough money, you can clone yourself to a new faction. I think there might still be some outstanding things that aren't transferrable. But, no clone is perfect. CR Skip, Purchase Feats, Purchase Styles, give yourself anything tradeable via the mail, anything account bound through the shared bank. For a broker's fee, you can give yourself your ingame cash currency. Source Marks can even be bought from the Marketplace. You will still have to grind out the most recent set of gear.

    what I'd like. a quest section in the On Duty tab, where you can choose to play through each of the Mentor storylines, regardless of your faction. what that would entail would be you entering, choosing, say, Batman Quest storyline, & you are transported to East End GCPD to begin, level 5, & away you go. clamped, or scaled, obviously. no saves. you die, game over. all feats / collections / investigations / briefings applicable in the original quests available throughout. so, if you're a meta character & you don't have all the magic character feats this is where you can earn them without having to stand outside Chinatown Electronics for three hours begging strangers to let you in.

    but, yeah, some way to switch factions, or just skirt between the two, would be nice. I've never considered Irvynnge to be a "good guy" or a "bad guy" as such.

    Or, how about a third "Anti-hero" faction that people can switch to?

    yeah im a villain and rarely play anymore due to most villain leagues being 65 year old men who breathe like a 12 year old straight into the mic. I have 9 200 artis and plasmic aura so cloning isnt the play for me. not being able to switch faction is really the only thing keeping me from coming back.

    Has it been that long since you were on the forums? I was active up until about 2018/2019 and took breaks. I also haven't been that active lately, mostly lurking.
