wmtyrance Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 While I was finishing up with a team last night I got to thinking about this. That has what's been missing from COH from the start. No real social zones. This huge city doesn't have one nightclub where players could hang out and unwind after team play or even solo. That would be nice to add clubs with music and dancing instead of everyone hanging out in atlas park. It sure would cut down the lag too. There's a game called Otherland that does the city social zone thing amazingly well They have different types of clubs with different types of music. They even have a 70's themed club. Even Anarchy Online had nightclubs where players would hang out. I hope you guys give it some thought. 1

Solvernia Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 We have Pocket D, Paragon Dance Party, the monkey arena in Sharkhead, the rave club in the Golden Giza in St. Martial... There's tons of places on both sides where you can go clubbing! 2 1
wmtyrance Posted June 1, 2019 Author Posted June 1, 2019 Would like to see more of this though. And I never heard or even know where those places are.
Solvernia Posted June 1, 2019 Posted June 1, 2019 Would like to see more of this though. And I never heard or even know where those places are. Pocket D is the most frequently populated, it's an interdimensional nightclub where heroes and villains and Praetorians can all meet up and chat. It's exactly what you're looking for. You can find it: Paragon City: Entrances in King's Row, Talos Island, Founder's Falls, and Faultline Rogue Isles: Entrances in Port Oakes, Sharkhead Isle, St. Martial There's also the center of Kallisti Wharf (accessible via Paragon's tram system or the Smuggler's Submarine), where events are often held near the statue of Statesman. Paragon Dance Party has been around since 2004 but was replaced by Pocket D after City of Villains was released. You can still find entrances in Paragon... somewhere. It's mostly empty. 1

On Everlasting it seems to have a decent number of people coming and going during the busier hours. I've seen it almost empty, but that's on my weird schedule as an Euro player ;) Personally, I don't go to Pocket D that much unless I'm meeting up with my team. There's just no point in it for me since I'm not big on the setting, even for RP purposes, and I hate navigating the inside of the club. It does fit the bill for people who just want to hang around and chat. I've seen people hang around and chat in other areas too, mainly busy ones with few or no enemies.
lunawisp Posted June 2, 2019 Posted June 2, 2019 There's an entrance to the Paragon Dance Party (I think that's the one) in Steel Canyon, south. You get the 'Dance Queen' (and presumably King if you're on a male character) badge just for walking up to the door. We used to dance under Galaxy Girl's skirt till they zapped galaxy City. Pocket D never really had the same appeal... 1
Janrith Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 There's also an entry to PPD via a sewer entry just outside of Terra Volta (for some reason). 2

I'm guessing you missed the horde of horny catgirls in Pocket D. 1 1 "Titan/Bio scrappers are the stealthiest toons in the game." "How's that possible? They don't have any inherent stealth and you'd never take concealment pool powers on them!" "You see; they're perfect at stealth because nobody will notice if there's nobody to notice."
The Batman Posted February 1, 2021 Posted February 1, 2021 The game could do with other Rp/Social venues such as bars, cafes and the like around the game. Imagine hving somewhere like Central Perk from Friends in Paragon City!

TemporalVileTerror Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 It's always worth noting: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Nw-npzUY2NGc6SFoHa1ByWw202gI8DlT0ZDTQwoR7YM/edit#gid=0 I think the other Shards have their own versions, though Everlasting is definitely a busy Shard for this sort of thing. 2

Chainz Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 There is also a whole slew of Sg themed clubs that are open most nights Inferno, Black Friday, Jokers Wild, Oasis, Impulse just to name a few. They are usually advertised on the homecoming discord. 1

arthurh35353 Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Wish there was a way to more seamlessly move from one to another and them being more in one zone. 😕 1
The Batman Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 I would love to have interactable furniture added. 1 1
the1egend1ives Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 There's Pocket D for both heroes and villains, Paragon Dance Club for heroes, and the Golden Giza and Rikti Monkey Fight Club for villains. Not to mention the hundreds of bases that players have made for nightlife/clubbing (assuming you're on everlasting). 1

In addition to what others have said :: You might want to check out There are many bases that are built as clubs, etc. If you are on Torchbearer, I found a base that you might want to check out PARAGONCITYFOODCOURT-10169 1 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
