Hostile levels

just a question if this sort of like/hate is planned to implemented (from faction post)

Honored - Reserved for those that achieve the highest level of respect and admiration from a given individual. Those NPCs that view you as "honored" will not only defend you from enemies, but they will join you in attacking any creature that you threaten - friend or foe.

Protected - The default level of treatment for new members of a faction. As the term implies, any protected members that are threatened by a neutral creature or an enemy will receive the aid of nearby NPCs. The factions are very protective of their members, and retreating or "leading" hostiles back to your powerful friends can be an effective tactic.

Neutral - Those creatures that perceive you neutrally are simply indifferent toward you. They will neither help you nor hinder you in your progress, and will offer the same support to both you and your enemies. Avendell and other unaligned factional areas strive to maintain neutrality as a while, although many individuals within those groups may stray one way or another.

Hostile - The default level of treatment for faction enemies. Hostile creatures will engage you as soon as you are within a certain range of them. In certain cases, they may retreat or fall back to friendly creatures for support if the battle becomes too tough.

Despised - The worst possible rating you can have with an individual. Creatures that despise you will target you over all other potential targets available, and will not stop until one of you is dead. Some factions automatically have this kind of disposition towards others: Members of Shadow Legion and Ragnar's Kin despite each other, as do Circle and Mystral Ascendancy members.

It already is implented. As a player you see it as either being attacked or not. Some of the NPCs already do a check against this. This has been in game since before NS4 went live to the general public.

Ah well it seemed to me to be the 3 hostile/neutral/friend I didn't really notice the honored or despised, so if i raid ragnars with my drow and couple others from LA the defenders will focus all their efforts to get me? not ignoring but making the others in my group a very low priority? same i guess if i am honored and i start attacking a fellow faction member in town then the guards will assist?

not a big deal more curious of how it works...
