Kinda odd?


Crashed

Today while leaving Pocket D on the Hero side, I was a bit stunned to see a "Stalker" yes I said "STALKER" standing by the Founders Falls entrance, chattting with another player...I found this to be a bit odd?

The players name I believe was "Red Widow" Her name was in Blue so she did not show as a villian would in a PvP zone....is this a super big glitch or just some trial thing for Going Rogue being tested?

(I sent a tell but did not get a responce)

Pictures or it didn't happen?

Truthfully if that is the case though thats a fairly big exploit. People use to do it with teleport, but that has since been fixed. I'm not aware of any new issue that would allow a player to enter the opposite side's elevator.

Since the Red Widow is a canon NPC, I might almost wonder if it was a GM of some sort. Also, some documentation of this would help us better diagnose it. Or, "pics or it didn't happen."

Saw her too. She actually said something to me, claiming that this wasn't her first time doing such a thing and that she made the jump via a loophole that "should be obvious if you spend time in D."

Edit:

Pic, yes, it happened:

I would like to direct your attention to the upper right corner of the screen, you can see that the target is Deathwidow, a lvl 50 Magic Stalker, and the Center, where you can see that my current mission is in Steel. Also note that the symbol on the far wall is the one marking the exit to Kings Row.

It's a pretty simple thing to do. Have one person of the opposite faction with recall friend on your team, and then each of you go to your respective entrances. Have the other person TP you and it'll take you to their end. You can't leave the D, though.

I'm in the villain entrance right now on my scrapper, no big deal.

Additionally, the person isn't stuck. He/she can go back into the D, and from there, back to his/her own faction map (Paragon or the Isles) anytime. The doors in the hallways themselves are marked Hero and Villain only, so you can't use them to cross into the other faction map and do any mean, nasty forced PvP or anything. It's just a fun place to stand some days when you're bored.

This has been possible for ... a couple years, at least. I don't remember when I started doing it, but I used to hang out there all the time. It's not a real big deal, though I do enjoy the occasional second glance. From time to time, it leads to fun RP. I just don't like standing in the middle of the dance floor or up in the bar to get my RP in. This is less frequent, but usually more stimulating.

Besides, with Going Rogue coming up soon, I figured it'd soon be old hat to see Stalkers in the blueside hallway. May as well get my fun in now.

Ah, that used to happen all the time. Until they fixed the door flagging, my main hero often could only enter and exit the D through the villain door (not the zone-out door). Betting that Red Widow, then, is mysteriously not name-reserved by the devs or was spelled/arranged differently. IE: Redwidow

The elevators in the hero and villain side hallways are not flagged as hero or villain only. Anyone in either hallway can go IN to the D. The elevators are only flagged on the inside of the club, preventing just anybody from going OUT of the D except towards their correct faction side. The zone doors in the hallways, however, are all flagged appropriately. Try as I might, I can't get a Stalker into King's Row. And oh how I've tried.
