Ogre Shaman now dubious to Grobb guards. Doesn't seem right...

Ogre/Shaman/Rallos Zek (only choice)

Should be apprehensive (was set one point shy of the /con it needed to be ) , fixed pending update.

The shroud system on live makes it possible to gauge faction hits on a single character and reset the values when you're done, by losing the shroud. It takes a lot of data, attention to detail, and some careful math to determine both how big the faction hit is, and where the faction was initially, but that's the only way to pinpoint all of the values in each table. Just doing the five factions in Cabilis took me two weeks of nothing else.

Is that shroud system accurate? I've never played with them. When I logged into the iksar monk today to check on that ashen order faction I noticed I was indifferent with my guildmaster, it should be amiable. I have not worked on any Kunark factions yet.

My half elf Bard is now dubious to Dragoons and Guards in Nektulos. I'm agnostic. Pretty sure I've killed at least one guard and definitely a ton of orcs in crushbone. Seems odd that they wouldn't hate me.

looks like skelly illusion gives me a higher faction increase with neriak cleric guild than previously. Not sure if this is working as intended or not, but i like it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I used to go from dubious to indifferently now it's dubious to amiable. +1

Have not touched PriestsofInnoruuk yet so any change in faction is on your end.

It does seem odd (as odd as Ogre Shaman being killed in Grobb and Troll Shadowknights being killed in Oggok), but the Dark Elf guards are more tolerant then one would assume.

Faction does seem screwy from what i remember from live...but i never played a evil race..and i do not have any evidence to back up my claims other than memory.

One example was killing Goblins in Sol A gave faction for gnomes and the recipricol was true as well. Same for killing Goblins in High Keep would give postive hits with High Keep guards..but it does not.


I have no complaints if this is how it is intended then game on. Just wanted to bring it up.


Thanks.

Those goblins never gave faction for the High Keep guards, but you could collect their ears to turn into one of the guards for faction.

You turned in ears for faction with Freeport guards...but killing goblins in the basement in High Keep gave you pos faction with High Keep guards.

I am not sure where you saw that it "never" gave faction...

[Supreme]

I checked wayback machine and it doesnt show that it gives faction to High Keep...but these current goblins dont even give faction to RV guards...
