Does this have anything to do with why i got attacked when stealthed and hidden as a rogue, conning a goblin which said indifferent only to be attacked by that same goblin 10 seconds later when i got within agro range?

Pretty certain you're just accidentally doing an action to break hide and the client doesn't get updated... like right clicking corpses.

This used to happen to me until I adjusted the way I move about while hide/sneaking. Hasn't happened to me since... 6+ months ago?

Always? I remember 2 different scenarios with my magician.

1. Chardok faction. I could afk in a room w/ 3 goblins, and when I came back, I had faction for every goblin killed by my pet.

2. Revamped VP faction. AFK in mistmoore, and when I would come back, I had faction for all the npcs killed by my pet.

Also, it prevents killing npcs with impunity. Example: if you farm guards of a city with only your pet, you should get faction hits for them.

It happened to me a few days ago and a few times since. It still happens.

Yeah I agree with this. This is kind of a situation where we would need to provide proof that it's not classic instead of the other way around, because it's kind of abusive and so if we're uncertain of it's classic-ness, we should err on the side of not allowing you to kill guards from a city forever without losing faction. Just my two cents (coppers?)

Also:

#
# Haynar: Bard sitting mana regen has been adjusted. They were regening way more than they should have sitting. This is a classic adjustment.

This means Bards should regen exactly 2 mana per tick now while sitting, correct?

You'll have to re-read what I typed. I didn't say anything about it being fixed long ago, I stated that it is a user error, not a game mechanics error.

There are plenty of other reasons why right clicking may have dropped your hide- Yes it should tell you, but it doesn't.

Paineel guards dont give faction hits though, right? Since they're undead and all...Plus, the faction hit wasnt added to them til at least velious era, right? =D

Question. At what date are up "up to" on the Classic eq time table. I have found patch notes from when Sky opened and such. Some things haven't been changed as far as I can tell, nor have seen in any of the patches we have had.

(edit) here is the link where I'm checking out the different patches.
