Tips in Pocket D

[lemming]

Need to test this on a non-halloween tip, but if you are a villain and open up a tip, the location can be set to be down the Hero elevator which you can't go down.

I then set my alignment to Rogue, and when I went down the elevator, it then had me go back up the elevator and the mission door was at the portal at the top of the ramp, blue side.

 

So, minor bug with several work arounds.  (Change alignment easiest)

If i'm not mistaken, you can't normally activate tips inside Pocket D; most of the alignment tips won't let you open them in co-op, PvP or hazard zones.  You're probably seeing an oversight in which the Whispered Rumor isn't subject to that restriction (it can be used in any non-PvP zone; I usually run mine out of Kalisti Wharf) and the mission can choose any applicable door in the zone.  Why it would send you up the elevator is the strange part however as there shouldn't be any mission-enabled doors up there to begin with.

I did a fair amount of ToTing in Cimerora (the island makes a convenient circuit, and ToTing at Romulus's door is just worthwhile) and learned that you can get your tip set to a regular Cim mission door.

Yep. Just confirmed that alignment tips don't work in Pocket D.

And it turned out the door was inside anyway, but wanted me to use the elevator first.

 

So only a possible problem with event tips.

Interesting side note:  You can run Halloween tips in Oro.
