Corpse dragging by faction - Velious Discussion

[Ele]

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.

I'm trying to find definitive proof, but you can add some (or maybe all?) of the CoV faction named in WW to that list. Corpse-dragging across the zone with a KoS body could cause some pretty hilarious trains to show up at ToV. You'd also have to get someone to train a raid encounter mob around to pull bodies if you wiped and it decided to corpse camp instead of path.

Kael, Thurgadin, Skyshrine and Plane of Growth were all definitely zone-wide areas for corpse aggro.

It was pretty much all of velious- but as stated, skyshrine, PoG, Kael, ToV, Thurg AB etc

Also do note, as stated in a feq quotes- it did not trigger you instantly to KoS- as you could invs drag just as you could all the time- it did not magically make the mobs see past your invs- also it had some sort of timer, as if you- lets say are non kos to giants, and drag a kos-corpse invs to zone, un-invs then wonder over to the other side of the zone- the giants wont kill you- I took that as "they didnt see you dragging the corpse" but I as a SK with a prenerf CoS was always invs- this may not be the case and others may be able to comment more on the long lasting effects of dragging a kos corpse.

and yes, yay velious

also i dont think the corpse thing was "classic velious" but put in a little later

I remember that the KOS status was temporary and only lasted until the player zones out then they are back to their original faction when they zoned back in. They become kos again if they start dragging again (had too much fun with this). I am not sure if it's an entire zone temporary faction change or just the aggroed NPC and anything that was aggroed by association.

was one of the main reasons robes for necros have summon corpse in it as cliky .

Rogues find hard to drag corpses in such zones for that reason (most times was monk work). it changed when they added the AA for hide

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