Double faction hits breaking shm epic - DO NOT hand in scale right now

[Uthgaard]

Currently the double faction "bonus" is also applying to negative hits

At the end of the shm epic, for example, there is a large negative hit that is supposed to reset you to neutral, this is being doubled and sending you to max kos. This is a hole that there is no realistic way out of, and makes you KOS to a lot of random epic NPCs throughout the world which were never intended to be hostile to players.

This pretty much makes your character broken beyond repair. Hoping someone can fix this relatively promptly.

Please disable the negative part of the faction bonus. I'm certain there are going to be other unrecoverable faction problems created as well in other quests.

Sounds like a fair warning to an unintended effect of the doubled faction hits, don’t think it’s unrecoverable though.
If there’s one turn in mob that doesn’t see invis and accepts a turn in at indifferent faction it’s repairable, open trade —> /cast #(invis) —> complete turn in. Repeat until out of kos, cumbersome but doable, oh and Lull the mob if you can’t LoS him if he’s not green enough to stop aggro. Merry christmas

This isn't a faction that has a bat wing quest, the only quest that doesn't have a faction requirement is a +50 hit and requires you to cross multiple zones each time. I'm aware there is a hypothetical way to spend weeks digging out of the ocean with a leaky bucket, but, as I said, there is no realistic way out of it.

Truespirit is a faction that was never intended to be hostile to players, it's a bug that needs corrected.

But regardless this is just an alert to others not to do the same. Current staff is working on fixing it.

Rogean corrected the shaman epic in last night's hotfix, it should be assigning a zero value instead of giving a negative hit, so it won't be affected by any modifiers.

Should be safe to turn in shm epic now.
