Corpse dragging by faction - Velious Discussion

[Droog007]

Seeing as it's been proven that mobs/zones flagged for this behavior do not care about the faction the corpse had when it was still alive, I would speculate that this did not happen in zones where there are significant populations of warring factions.

e.g. It would be dumb if a dwarf near Thurgadin attacked you for dragging the corpse of someone slain by a giant... or if Wuoshi turned on you for the same reason.

Rather, since it seems to have been dumbed down to the point that "if you died in here, you're either KOS, intend to be KOS, or just dumb - so anyone dragging you is guilty by association", then it was more likely limited to the strongholds of the 3 factions.

Personally - I only remember it happening in Kael and ToV, but I didn't do much raiding in Thurgadin or SS.

Bump.

I can't imagine any corpse dragging would cause instant KOS status, but that instead the dragger takes on the faction status of the dragee.

I'm not sure what kind of cross-check would be involved or if a corpse can retain a faction status.

What about it being a flag on the "item" that it was killed by a zone npc?

growth and necropolis did not aggro. Growth just had the protectors( when working) being jerks and attacking people with bad faction no matter what.

I always found the PoG's endearing. If I were an npc, I'd want to be a PoG. Sure, kill me, i'll just respawn and come at ya 20 minutes all over again, an irritating little fucker.

This is not Rocket Science. There is pretty much Dragon and Giant faction. And throw in Clerics of Tunare faction and that is about it. Once you start the ball rolling the whole damn zone is out to kill your ass. Even if you are a nice little Druid or Ranger, kill Tunare and your goose is cooked.

Corpse Dragging agroed in Skyshrine, Thurgadin, Kael, Temple of Veeshan, Plane of Growth. I'm 100% certain. Faction did not matter, giants would agro corpse draggers if you were even KoS. The faction does not change, but mobs will attack you and will assist each other in attacking you even the mob conned green.
