Teleport points in the Trench

I just came across a reference to "hidden teleport points in the Gordon
Trench" of Terra Volta. I've fought long battles there and covered pretty
much every inch, and since I have TP I've never needed to find a way out.

Do these exist? I thought it was a little weird to have an area that's a
complete trap without TP, superjump or flight.

I would "/petition stuck". I've found the GMs to be really helpful,
and I'm sure one would relocate you.

I thought I was stuck once in TV with my SS only scrapper. I
petitioned and found a way out just before the GM contacted me.

The place I got stuck in TV was a concrete trench. I jumped down in it
to help my team fight some Freaks. Afterwards everyone flew or SJ'd
out. There I was with walls too high for me to jump out, and no
teammates with Recall Friend. I ran back and forth trying to jump on
the overhead pipes to no avail. I then petitioned. After I sent the
petition I noticed that a ledge on the wall that was too low to allow
me to jump the wall, did give me access to the overhead pipes so I
finally got out.

I had heard that the "hidden" teleport points were a joke from the beta.
Seems the Gordon Trench had some spots where you could fall ("teleport")
out of the world.

What assertion do you make to validate your existence?

It used to be that you could scale the walls by repeated jumping, like
scaling a tenement or skyscraper, but that stopped working some time
ago. I had never heard anything about "hidden teleport points".

In the Trench you should be able to go to a sidewall, jump on the pipes,
and there is one diagonal pipe going up to a doorway.

Downside is that there are usually LOST foes fighting SKY RAIDERS
through that doorway and even with superspeed you might not get past the
mezzers.

I tried once to get out without using TP, but even with Hurdle I couldn't
find a place to exit. Thought this claim might be outdated or bogus.

Man, I wish I had time to do a CoH website. 😛

I heard of them but it was before I ever got high enough to get into TV
with any of my characters. I think they were in live, but vanished either
around or before even the first update.

So if you're soloing, don't have travel powers, and fall/go into the
Trench, you just spend the rest of your heroing career there? Or commit
suicide-by-Lost to get out?

Or yell for someone to TP you out. :)

That would work.

Are there any other "dead end" spots in zones? That's the only one I know
of where you have the power to get in but might not have the power to get
out.

I did figure out the Vampyri Lab exit - I could teleport up the shafts. So
almost any travel power - Hover, Flight, TP, Jump - would work.

That's the one we're talking about here - Gordon Trench, right down the
center of the zone.

I guess you can get out if you jump on just the right ledges etc., but I
recall trying that and failing.

Been there done that. Fell through a crack in the wall pre-issue 2 and fell
a LOONG way down. Ended up as far down as flyers can go up near-dead
red on health. Wandered around for a while making use of the fact that
moving anyplace on the map (even under it) will fill in the fog of war. I
was
the only one in the SG to have a full map of TV at lvl 21 (?) --hard to
remember. Eventually got an SG luvvy to to pop in long enough to team
and tp out.

It is a good thing to have tp-ers in the SG --remember this.

I was also around when a glitch sent everyone in Talos under the island for
a while. The only way out was tp or to get close and turn around fast enough
that the world resolution would pop you out from between the rocks in a
very few places.

Wasn't it dangerous to go under the reactor without any shielding down
there? 😛
