Guards and Faction in PvP

[Palemoon]

Its great to see slow but steady work being done , and being done fixing faction levels in general. But with release "soon" , I am wondering if the issue of faction and npc's assisting the higher faction players in pvp will be fixed and put in?

A perk of picking a certain diety at char creation "should" be expecting a greater level of protection from some of the factions within your home city. So this is important from 5 seconds after character creation onward.

Is this on the bugs "list to do" ?

This should be the lowest
Priority.

It's important to me. I've spent the past 2 weeks working a lot with factions.

Good to hear. I think it's a really important also so the casual players have a place to be safe when the hardcore uber gank squad comes around the corner.

this,
on beta there were so many ppl complaining that guards wouldn't help them in gfay from the gnome army of casters

gonna be 10 fold the bitching when it takes 10x the amount of time to level

i hate people that run to hide behind mommy to save themselves from pvp

i cant tell you how many elfs tried to go up the lift to escape pvp , but i went up with them and fucked them all the way to the bank

i will confess tho

i pvp 'd in OT on zek for a long time , most people just hugged the pok book , but i bound myself in the outpost , did sarnak braids to buff faction and when i was losing i ran inside

many chased and found themselves tanking npcs

and i just finished them off and gloated , skill? Definitley not , but then again eq requires none and its just click click win ( or lose ) in lovelys case

Loved faction on live. I salute your efforts.

Are we talking about faction as in,

Player A sits near guards, player B attacks player A, guard kills player B because Player A has better faction? If so yes.

Also it is very very very classic, on all pvp servers, I think or it may have only been the racial team servers. When you slay a player you would lose faction to that home city. IE if a high elf killed an erudite, they would take a faction hit for erudin. I know for sure this persisted through kunark, me and a buddy had a squabble in lake of ill omen lvling, i killed him and took a erudin faction hit. This was later changed to only taking a faction hit if you kill a player in there home city. IE you kill a wood elf in gfay, kelethin hates you more. This was eventually taken out, however it will make faction useful and meaningful, please consider this.
