Going to check out Freeport, same deal I'm sure. Roots barely lasted a tick or two if they even landed at all.

[Nirgon]

Okay Freeport has been completely WoW-ified. Fuck this place.

I can't find any of the old guards.

Nilberg you need anymore? These in town guards were never meant to be solo'd for XP, esp by casters. I'll go with their hp being right, but their resists are way off.

I'll be happy to try Halas or Neriak which I don't think are changed if you need more.

[gortimer]

As a shaman who solo'd some in Oggok, i can tell you they are fairly resistant as is. I'll tell you that people have been killing those guards for all of eternity. They were always worthwhile. I dont understand the reasoning of going to live and fighting stuff and comparing it to here.

IMO how about report bugs rather than try to argue pointless things that need no fixing.

[Nirgon]

Guards here really don't resist a damn thing especially by comparison here. I'll hit Oggok next, great idea.

I use live because these mobs haven't changed and I'm using a classic spell line.

This needs fixing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

[Arteker]

u forgot guards got revamped so they stoped droping regular weapons wich sold for 10 15 pps and reduced the xp and made them harder to discourage the killing .

should be in luclin patch notes somewhere, i rememebr the complains about dark elfs and freeport militia guards aswell seru guards wich used to be 8% xp per kill and 40 70 pps per kill.

[Potus]

Hi just read this part from page 1:

Creates areas that are way too easy to level in, for way too much bonus experience (starting zone/town), and provide faction hits that are also way too easily attainable (hi SoulFire!)

Try leveling an enchanter in Neriak Commons, pacifying/charming/killing the guards and selling the 2x fine steel weapons they drop too. The dragoons are some bitches here, on live they were hard asses.

This is incredibly wrong. Freeport guards were always hunted 24/7 during live, and Verant only nerfed them by adjusting the spawn times and changing their weapons to FS (they originally dropped regular weapons which were incredible cash cows). Yes, tons of people had awesome soulfire faction.

And Neriak guards were very, very, very easy exp. As a Gnome Necro they were a fantastic place to gain levels and dropped lots of plat/weapons which I could sell to different factioned vendors.

The downside of killing guards was the faction. That was considered "balanced" to Verant for years.

potus i think ur memory match with mine because i still remember people farming guards non stop because they droped no fs but weapons wich sold for 15 20 pps , and im for sure i camped the guard in neriak from 43 to 46 and they payed my first deepwater helm

[Nirgon]

The guards out in the forest were no problem. The guards at the east commons inns were slightly more resistant than other mobs their level. The guards are the WC toll both were pretty damn resistant but very killable because of the open range area to kite them. However, guards like Sergeant Slate, the high level roamers in Nektulos and in town guards were very resistant. The guards I've posted here conned green to me and roots immediately faded in most cases. I didn't say there were unkillable or immune. They were just MUCH more resistant, to such a point most people didn't bother with them. My post from here (not sure what happened before with the link):

http://web.archive.org/web/200202230....shtml?id=1108

Does match my memory. I went in search of answers and finally found them and then matched them against what was available to me (and untouched). Resisting 3 outta 4 matches exactly what I expect and my current parsing here confirms it. Given the date of the above comment, definitely not Luclin/PoP. These guards are way out of line vs what they were on live.

Nope. Sorry, the guards inside Neriak were easy exp and landing snare/fear/root was pretty easy on them. They hit hard for their level but spells landed on them.

Also I remember killing Sgt Slate (and remember seeing him get killed by people) for giggles/revenge all the time.

I don't understand why you're trying to get inside city guards nerfed, this makes no sense to me.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

------------------------------

***Patch Day***

*General Changes*

- Sounds have been updated for NPCs in Kunark. Your Iksar should no
longer sound like humans.
- Dark Elven worshipers of Solusek Ro and Bristlebane will no longer be
natively KOS to the outpost in the Overthere. Take care that if you
have taken actions allowing you to be judged sufficiently by your
deeds, you may still find yourself KOS.
- Increased the number of frightfingers in the Plane of Fear.
Previously only 3 frightfingers would pop per respawn.
- Several problems with the guards that were buffed up last week have
been addressed. Some guards that should not have been buffed have been
fixed. In addition, due to the level of the new guards, they all gained
the ability to innately see-invisible. The level of those guards has
been reduced so that they no longer automatically get this ability,
making it a bit easier to sneak by them.
- Many quests have been updated and/or fixed, both in terms of ease of
completion and reward.




this was the first nerf in guards, they used to be 6 mins pop, im trying to find the other patch wich mention guard uped resists and imnune to speed changes (this destroyed huntin in seru and sharvall or whatever was the name of the cats in the moon city)
