New Day Job, or Jail???

I've played CoH for over five years now and I've never seen anything like this happen before...so here's the set up.

After not playing the villain side of things for a while, I log into my main villain Sinder. To find he's...been placed in a sort of jail.
Sinder in Day Job Jail

Now the screenshot may not be all that odd for anyone with a teleport power....but Sinder doesn't HAVE a teleport power. Sooooo, I spent about 5 minutes in this penalty box until another (very kind villain) swooped in to my aid to team up with me and TP'd me out of there. (Thanks very much to "Heart of Stone'".

Anyhow. It was funny and a bit frustrating at the same time.

Well, you didn't have him robbing any banks for so long that he had to get a part time job.

Yeah, I think that must have been it. But uh, judging by the name of the establishment...I wonder what the badge name would be? :O

Really? No TP powers? You've got an aura, that means you're over level 30, high enough to get into Ouroboros. No O-Portal? You say you've played for over 5 years, and the Base TP power is a 2 year Vet reward, don't you have that?


Issue 16 made me feel like this.

Two possibilities that I can think of. Either the last team that you played with decided to play a prank on you when you logged off or it was a one in a million chance that the devs decided to put up a hot dog stand where you logged off.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

Ouroboros...that would have helped, it didn't hit me at the time (*rim shot*). However, I don't believe the base TP would have helped since I'm pretty sure it drops you out right back where you teleported from (but honestly, I rarely dig it out). Even so, I guess it's possible it could have at least snapped me to a...better location on the way out.

But yes, I've played for 5 years. Actually, goes back into beta time for CoH.

As funny as the first one would have been...I'm pretty positive I was solo last time I logged out (pretty sure). So I'm thinking #2.

[/ QUOTE ] When you log off near a door, the system automatically makes you "come out of the door" when you log in.

There is a door on that stand, and that would have caused you to be stuck inside if you "came out" on the wrong side of it. lol

You can easily repeat it by logging off near that stand again.

For those who want to try it.. That stand is near the corner of Nerva's MA. You have to log out on the correct side of the door to appear on the inside of it. If you are standing on the other side, you just appear outside.

That's the same spot where someone snapped a screenie of a trapped Warden...maybe you guys have a whole Hercules/Atlas thing going on. Except in this case, you trade off holding each other's delicious weenies instead of, y'know, Heaven.

Although some would say that's the same thing.

Ya know. I'll bet that's what it was. Yeah I saw the door...even got the "hand icon" when the cursor went over it but of course "Can't use this door at this time" message once I clicked on it.

Heh! Interesting, and funny!

As for getting out, you can always try /stuck, you can use Self Destruction and go to Base or Hosp, you can use a BM Teleport if you have the day job/bought the power, or you can use Base TP, and then use the Nerva TP in the base to not end up back inside the stand.

Or you can just keep your character there, and harass any passers-by into buying your weiners...

Also: Now you have some inspiration for a new art piece!

You didn't just type /stuck to get unstuck?
