pvp guard assist questions

[Dfn]

Shut the fuck up with faction hits already you blue bitches. Seriously, PvE server ----> that way. Guard assist is classic. Guard assist will protect you. You don't need to eliminate PvP in towns. Might as well just make them a safe zone you. Geeze, how blue can you be.

Along with guard assist you should add faction hits, even if its not classic or not. This needs to be put in to retain players. I'm all for grief, but the balance issue between lowbie levels say 1-16 is insane, its to easy for someone to grief you if they are few levels higher then you between those lvls.

There is basically to much grief. The videos on the forums prove it. And it wont stop because its become a trend on the boards to basically show they are killing them off the server.

This whole issue needs a very quick response.

you've ruined your own lands! you will not ruin mine!

Faction assist is cool but for guards and guildmasters only. If every NPC assisted there would be so many cheap little hiding places and pathers killing people. Its not very RP either, what shopkeeper would chase a murderer all around a zone?

I didn't see any mention of faction loss for pvping in a town, and I hope it remains this way. As long as there is a chance of being PK'd by my own race in my own town, I would like the capacity to defend myself.

POD did not assist. Spiders/spiderlings did tho.

Okay so we now have the ability for NPCs to protect pcs vs pcs.

This will require placing a flag on each individual npc type which should assist.

From what I recall, all city guards, and all guildmasters functioned this way.
-City guards
-Guildmasters
Yes?

How about other npcs which protect pcs from npcs
-a_guard - highpass
-a_highpass_citizen - highpass
-explorers, pilgrims, drixies - firiona vie
etc

Discuss.

All npcs would react according to faction, people used to faction farm for zones like chardok, etc just for this reason in pvp. If both players had equal faction then npcs wouldn't interfere.

I had a lot of fun in Qeynos, I would do the tomer instangle quest where he followed me around, then I would attack the priest of discord, tomer would assist me and swing on the PoD, in return a roaming guard would agro PoD, I would respawn and lure the monk guildmasters to PoD, they would assist and it owul dbe 3 level 61 monks versus the PoD, it could go either way since the POD chain Chealed himself

Tweak this so that swarm/charm kiting assist works as well (classic, allegedly broken, haven't got to that point yet).

Guards definitely assisted higher faction.

I exploited the shit out of this on Rallos Zek. I would wait for erudites to take the boat over to Qeynos and attack them as soon as they got off the boat. The guards would lol until the filthy erudite hit me back, then they would jump his ass.

If players had any faction above indifferent, they would attack the aggressor.

This is the kind of shit that doesn't need to make it into the game.
