Game Mechanics: Newbie guards in Toxxulia don't attack enemies

[bateson]

The guards at the entrance to Erudin appear to be really lazy right now. Had to run away a couple of times and needed to zone because the guards just watched. It worked with a skeleton once, but neither with skunk, rat and kobold. (I believe I could hear them laugh at me when I zoned)

Please have a stern word with them, thank you.

Now they just attacked a skunk without any provocation right in front of me!

[Tyronius of Midnight]

They do not attack Kobolds at the moment.

Everything else seems fine.

Unless there is another way to interpret this patch note, the guards were changed in this bug report: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s....php?p=2278297

On a related note - the Kobolds may not have been KOS to everyone at the start, but we need more research on the specifics:

Theyre noted as opposing factions, but I trust ye and that's a good patch note

Edit: Ignore, just saw that this is classic.

Kobold scout was mauling me right in front of newbie guards and neither moved. Had to zone it.

Here is my theory:

I doubt they didn’t assist with kobolds the entire time until April 2001 or there would have been a lot more complaints on this.

So what may have happened is when the faction changes were made in March 2001 for the warrens release, the new faction was not added to the guards. They then fixed this bug in the next patch.

That makes sense to me. Thoughts?

I approve this interpretation.

Fixed, pending update.
