I agree with your suggestion and wish for it to be implemented.
Make the big portal switch instances, I guess.

The Pocket D VIP Pass is incredibly convenient, yes. But it doesn't allow you to select which instance of Pocket D you wish to go to. If at all possible, could we please add instance selectors to all Teleporter Powers? Or at least a way to switch between zone instances directly? |
to clarify, i'm just meh about the idea. not for or against.
Well, it could be applied to -any- teleport power, I think.
Like Mission Transporter, for one.
And, I mean... adding an NPC that can switch instances for you in every zone would be great.

Instances? You mean it's possible to have more than one of a zone? Uh.|

Having the multi-instance popup for this power would indeed only affect Virtue, most of the year.|

It would possibly affect all servers for the Christmas and Valentine's events.
Or whenever there's a ruckus on the Global channels where a Dev is in there handing out Yellow Titles.
But this could also be applied to other similar powers.
Like the Black Market Teleporter Day Job power could give you the choice between Cap Au Diable1 and Cap Au Diable2. The Blueside equivalent could see more than one Atlas Park or perhaps even Talos.
It might be a little more useful than you think.

Actually I've seen more than 5 Pocket D instances on Triumph during the 5th Anniversary event.

I only said the Pocket D VIP Pass because it immediately came to mind. (Since I am a Virtue...vian.. or something, and I do indeed use it frequently because The Cape is awesome.)
But Mission Transporters, Black Market/Wentworths Transporters, even the Ouroboros Portal (If for whatever reason Ouroboros is full...) all of the "Let's go from one zone to another really really fast" powers could benefit from this.
wouldn't really affect me at all. not for it or against it so long as it doesn't take up a lot of Dev time to implement as it does seem quite a minor thing
@craggy see me on Union for TFs, SFs (please!) or just some good ol fashioned teaming.
As a sidenote: SG base teleporters can tell if there is more than one instance of the zone you are heading to, and give you the option of which one to enter.

I remember the good old days at release when Atlas Park would have 3-5 instances. And scrolling the Tram destination List from all the multiple instances.
I was nostalgic for then When I saw the second instance of Pocket D.
There does need to be someway to change instances in Pocket D. I have not found one yet. Not sure how Villian side works with multi-instances as well

There is a way: Enter a mission door, then exit. At that point you are given a choice of instances.

Indeed, as well as the standard entrances/ exits to Pocket D.|
