I usually just Trick-or-Treat in the villain side of Kallisti Wharf.  Nobody there to bother me and plenty of doors to bounce around to.  No enemies, no snipers, no monsters.  Just an occasional zombie horde is all.

The number of doors to click is not always the best situation for a location.  Look at the motel in PI hero side.  Its got 14 doors, right next to the hospital for face plants and very short distance to leveling up and vendors as needed as well.  Last night there were 3 PI maps running leagues there.

 

However, like your cited location, doors are rather spread out.  When PI hits cap of players on its map, all of whom are hitting those 14 doors, it not only spreads out the leagues efforts a bit too much in my opinion.

 

So while the conveniences of a hospital and leveling a little more distant, Warf's spot 8 doors on one segment of a building tend to keep eveyone together and mobs aggro'd more centrally between 1 main and 2 side choke points and since its not as popular as the PI lagfest, the league team membership tends to be not competing with secondary leagues and smidge smaller for better exp per kill distribution.

 

 

So a 19 door location isnt necessarily going to be more efficient/better and in conjunction with the mechanics for getting tot spawns too.

Yes hero side khalisti warf is what I consider the best area and when the zombie event starts its pretty easy to mop up both in the same spot without issue either.    The banners event's a bit more stretched out compared to PI imo but its still pretty doable.

 

Eochai and Jack spawns are also much much easier in the Warf compared to PI due to some spawning on the GM island areas.

I find that the big black Arachnos wall there ends up making this location a lot like a long hallway to fight in - great for condensing packs of foes, creating chokepoints with AoEs and so on.  No worse than being on one side of the PI motel lot vs. the other.

 

I'm not on a computer with the game right now, but back on Live when I was nothing but Redside there was a line of brownstone doors in one neighborhood, I think it was Sharkhead?  Where you had like six or eight doors facing each other across a fairly narrow street.  That worked out really well as I recall.

I thought doors right next to each other were considered as the same door by the game. Has this changed?

Depends on the door, but a lot of the "four doors in a row" arrangements on the sides of warehouses count as four separate doors.  Some sets of double doors do only count as one however.

Cool.

In IP, where some warehouses were packed in like sardines, I used to entertain my self by telling teammates, "Meet you inside!"

 

Then running to the door across the narrow alley from the entrance and disappearing inside.

Wonder if it still works?
