Several questions

Post by Dazrield »

Hey all,

Have a few questions and figured I might as well bundle them.

1. Is it possible to get rid of faction status, and if so how? What I mean is.. if I go around killling some drow in the city cuz they have neat stuff I want do I get booted? And if not.. what would do it?

2. Is there a FAQ sheet for newbs anywhere that I missed that doesn't require me to cross reference the change log here against the commandments list and wiki to figure out certain things?

if you attack the guards/towns people of your faction you will lose faction. only way to regain this is by capping your home relic. and this may take a few times depending on how many you killed. if you want the gear your faction is wearing i suggest either trading for it or creating a different toon in a different faction and then go farming.

here are a few links for new people that they should "study".

Technically you can't lose faction "status"... that is, once you pick your faction in the beginning that character is always from that faction and nothing can change that... however, you can become hostile to your own faction, which means you can't even bind in your own city.

What if you are bound there when you become hostile to them?

Then be repaired fr a fight when you recall or return to your bind point.

Keep in mind that losing faction and reputation can also affect your relic bonus for xp if SL has the relics.

If you're bound in one of your faction areas (like your home city) and you become hostile enough, then you autobind to Avendell: Hilltop Inn.

For the record I have to I say I love the factional percentages. It really used to burn me up when someone who betrayed their faction got the benefit of a relic bonus.

How come only the NPC's appear as hostile? That was really the main reason I did it was to get PC's the same way so that I can't rest with an SL member around lurking that may want to kill me :P And the equipment was specific to an archmage in Menzo.

No one has an answer about how to make same faction PC's appear hostile? Or simply tell me that it can't be done?

it can only be done manually by pulling up the player list and doing so. but if either you or they log out and back in, then it will default back.

When you go hostile to your faction your hostile to both NCP's and PC's from that faction. Something to keep in mind to about going hostile, You lose all your job bonuses too. The only way to get them back if to regain points so your non hostile and redoing the jobs right from the beginning

Ive noticed that faction status is a little buggy.
E.g. MA toon raiding SL , hence i assume automatic standing loss . I log a toon to defend and he's blue??? Even though faction npc's are chasing him around main area.
It might be just a load related glitch. Its happened more than a few times . The quick fix is just to switch it in player list...
