More on faction

faction is the mechanic used for if a mob attacks you, responds to hails, quest turn ins etc etc

however when you agro a mob- there are many things it does- mobs all react and do things differantly when agroed in certian ways- if you attack a mob - attack, spell, throwing somethign etc- it broadcasts its agro saying Xplayer is attacking me- in reality it just places "you" at that spot- an orc says "Xadion" orc lego will see "xadion" because his friend says so- but if I am invs he sees me and does nothing- but i have to be invs at the time of the agro initiated broadcast- now this WAS changed in a patch note somewhere - where the agro broadcast also SHARES 'faction' saying Xadion is here my faction is X he is Y- if yours it X it should be Y-

also agro range, and range of "broadcast" changes or /should/ by level- think of it as a radius around the mob you agroed- it gets smaller and smaller based on level of you vs mob-- I destinctly remeber on live there was a "magic" level in seb and lguk where even a warrior could single pull (56 or 58) by arrow or whatever- I dont think it works this way on p99 as i think the agro broadcast range is set rather than variant of level of player vs mob.

having direct / engaged agro on a mob sets a max faction- invs/hide etc has a set bump up of faction- this is so someone MAX kos invs still works- vs someone barely kos invs working but not max kos? its all numbers/levels.. you can see this by getting agro- con mob = ready to attack, invs - then con = threateningly- the invs is bumping up the faction to the "baseline of current status" engaged hostile baseline is threat- non engaged baseline is indiff- mobs do not share their status of engaged hostile status untill the patch change in late luclin/pop, they just share that X player is "there"
