Overview

Pocket D is a first rate night club spanning multiple dimensions. It is maintianed by DJ Zero. Pocket D is a no-fire zone where Heroes and Villains can mingle safely. Pocket D opened up after the hero-only Paragon Dance Party shut down.

Pocket D is currently the only zone in which Heroes and Villains can team together. Several special events have introduced special missions that could be run by mixed teams of heroes and villains, including a few missions that required teammates from both sides.

In August 2006, the Tiki Room was added to Pocket D. This room was initially unavailable to players. However, some players managed to gain access to the room via the Teleportation#Teleport power. After screenshots of the room were posted on various message boards, Dampening Fields were introduced in Pocket D to prevent teleportation.

In October 2006, the Tiki Room was made available to players who had purchased either the Good Versus Evil Edition Retail Box Set in stores or the Online Pack from the NCsoft Store. Both of these purchases granted registered players access to the accolade power Pocket D VIP Pass. This power allows the user to teleport from anywhere in Paragon City or the Rogue Isles directly to the Tiki Room inside Pocket D.

The Tiki Room also features a Banished Pantheon Spirit of Sorrow bartender and a Banished Pantheon dance act. The dance act appears rarely and disappears as soon as a player enters the room by teleport.

Winter Event 2006 introduced the Ski Chalet, which is only accessible during special events.

Notes

Power

-Teleport

You are being affected by a Dampening Field. It seems unlikely you could teleport.

  • As of August 16, 2006, Teleporting is no longer allowed in Pocket-D.
    • This does not apply to the Ski Chalet area which is outside of the Dampening Field.
    • Pets (Powerset or Temporary Powers) and Henchmen set to aggressive near one of the corners of the dance floor in the main room of Pocket D will attack an invisible, invincible entity rumored to be the source of the dampener.
