Question about guard assist

[xblade724]

Is it black/white they'll assist you if you are attacked (if attacked, guards will assist, faction not considered), or is it faction based like classic?

If just black/white, is faction-based assist being worked on or what?

In classic, the guards would assist those who had more faction. If both were same, it was black/white, and if both were ally, they wouldnt assist at all - just let them battle it out.

I also believe dots and pets didn't draw agro from guards (not totally sure been a while).

Pets caused Agro but some spells had long enough range u could kill some well at gaurds and get away like Mage spell

[Crazycloud]

I believe dots did the same thing if you were outta agro range. I guess pets did draw agro.

[Rust1d?]

Does faction matter or is it whoever attacks first?

Green guards wont assist, unfortunately.

In the early days of RZ I know mage pets did not get any agro from guards. I remember getting murdered next to a guard and not knowing why he wouldn't assist. So after that I made a mage. I'm not sure how long it went on until they changed it.

[xblade724]

They changed it around the same time they patched in fear/charm nerfs (pretty fast iirc).

I just tried casting a spell from super far away and guards still aggrod. It seems to be aggro radius from the victim, NOT the caster. Not classic, but hey, better than nothing

better than nothing

They should have a huge ad campaign for Red 99 with this as the slogan.

Red 99... it's better than nothing.
