I did a cage match with a friend and after the match ended

So how do you get into the cage to fight ?
Only option at the terminals is a regular Arena fight
Thanks

Set up a Duel with you and another player. Every time I've set up a Duel, I get the monkey cage on the first shot.
I have heard other people trash this idea other places, but I would love LOVE to be able to bet on the monkey fights....
Pleeeeease!

Personally, I'd like to see a tailor put into Pocket D. That way we don't have to leave Pocket D after earning event costume pieces.

Hell yes, and a trainer too!

That IS a good idea. And since we don't want to use Icon or the Facemaker, and want it to be appropriate to the location, how about a Tsoo Tattoo and Piercing Parlour?

And that's perfectly fine, as nothing prevents Wolverine from moseying over to the red side for some shady dealing, and to check on the monkey fights with a catgirl on his lap. But not every hero is like Wolverine. For every 'realistic' shady anti-hero, there's a virtuous and upstanding hero who would want his or her social scene to be reasonably upstanding and innocent.

Pocket D is what it is. If your character doesn't like it, why would they go there?
For a real-life example, while fundamentalist religious zealots might like to see all of the strip clubs closed down, society doesn't do that. That doesn't mean that the fundamentalists go to the strip clubs and complain about them being strip clubs. They just don't go.

THAT would be absolutely sweet.

Should be within 25 feet rather than fifty feet. If you want to make it an even ten yards, this might work too -- but you'd have to make yards into actual yards, three feet of simulated area instead of the one and a half feet it seems to be presently.

I'd like to see Pocket D become a bit of a hub. Make mishes for varying levels from there. I'd like to see those people(and tiki masks) in green do more than just spout off. More portals to other zones. Hell, a base portal to there would be cool even.

Base teleporter beacon.

I totally like these two ideas. I'd like to see some basic co-operative missions in Pocket D. Nothing fancy, just let me meet up with Heroes and Villains and do a mish. That, I think, would get more people in the zone. DJ Zero would be perfect for a contact for that zone.

It will change the games rating, which would lose it's "family oriented" feel. However, I am for the idea...just stating why it will never be implemented.
I do however wish that there was a way to get "Turn Table" mishes similar to paper ones, that are collaborative, ie Villains and Heroes unite, in nature that would lead to some kind of "Mayhem/Safe Guard" mission after X amount is completed.
That would lead players who only play CoV or CoH a greater chance to see what each one offers as far as AT's and powersets and what not. Which could lead to more people buying both versions, which leads to (all together now) higher profits!
I hope a DEV/GM/REDNAME reads this...
It would be great if we could put odds down on fights. It would be like saying here are my X infamy, X enhancements, and/or X invention salvage against yours. The only problem is that 1 you would have to make sure you had room for new items in your inventory, 2 that everyone understand that once they agree to the bet, they may lose their proverbial shirt. I would be in there all the time, given half a chance.
It would also be nice if the slot machines worked......
Every time I go into Pocket D it's saddening to see it so desolate, except for the occasional hero/villain wandering in to buy something. I'll sometimes go in there and just hang around, but it's dead on most of the servers. Special events seem to spice up the place a bit and make people show up, but that seems to only last for the duration of the event, and then it's right back to normal. It's strange that the population hasn't taken to Pocket D as opposed to say, standing around under Atlas statue. Maybe it's not accessible enough for low-level characters who just want to socialize?

There is always a crowd in Pocket D on Virtue at just about all hours. And not just role-players, the PvPers are there using the terminals. Your complain may just be server specific.

My only change: Have it so that being in Pocket D actually played streaming music; there's rarely enough players in there that bandwidth would be an issue. Just commission or create a few new songs every issue to keep things fresh ... or let player-musicians create songs. Project Entropia's fan-made song "Gamer Chick" got into the game, and it's still one of my favorite songs.

A Tsoo Tattoo parlor would be great...
And you do some really nifty Tsoo Tattoo parlor furniture and asian screens in the game... would be a shame if they're only seen in a few missions.
I want a taco stand and Quark's too.
Can I suggest something here?
Can we fix the graphic holes and other problems so that Teleportation can be used in Pocket D again? In other words, Can we take off the band-aid and actually fix the problems instead?
Thank You.
That is all.

Ideas for possible changes....
Base teleporter beacon.
You talk to DJ Zero and he says..
"Hey (character name)! Having a good time? Could I ask you for help with something? Seems that a pair of Cornelius and Joe's Rikti monkeys managed to mate. The offspring got down into the maintenance room and are tearing things up! Could you go down there and take care of them? I'll make it worth your while."
This gives you a mission to defeat all Rikti monkeys in the Maintenance room. Upon completion you return to DJ zero where he gives you his thanks and a badge...I dunno..I suck at naming things. I doubt Monkey Spanker will fly. The badge is the needed component for creating a beacon for the teleporter to Pocket D.
As far as competing with the VIP card..no it doesn't. The VIP card can be used ANYWHERE by anyone, where this requires you to have a base and a teleporter as well as do a mish to get the beacon. On top of that, you have to be in your base to use it.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm all for this, as long as the teleport destination is one of the two "portal rings" up on ramps in the corners of the club.
And while we're at it, MOVE the spawn point within the VIP lounge to someplace other than the back of the stage. I've been looking at that as a "VIP only" event venue, but it'd be damned hard to do anything in there with people materializing right in the middle of the event/performance/what have you. I would suggest perhaps one of the bathroom doors? or a supply closet next to the bar?
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
How about.. moving the variouse seating around a touch (or tweaking the collision meshes or whatever its called..) so we can actualy sit down in the booths and at the stools around the bar tables?
Please?

Yes, please.
1) I would like to see a tailor in the areas just above the Vaults, so that when we do these event missions, we don't have to run all over H*ll and Creation, just to get to see what the new costume pieces would look like on us.
2) I would also like to see DJ Zero or someone else start being able to level us up. Also a big help with doing these event missions.
3) Perhaps we can have some of these non-interactive bartenders/revelers start giving us co-op missions for the pre-35 crowd. A few of my friends have seriously quit the game, because it caters to the upper end, in that regard, and might actually be coaxed back, if we have that for the lower levels, too.
Tomorrow's heroes, today!
I would like to see the ski slopes open year round. The missions can close for the season, but I enjoyed skiing. Dimensional rifts can have whatever weather they want!

do enough arena fights / gladiator matches and you'll end up on that map sooner or later.
