Hostile Guards

Post by BSoul »

I have a Char named Varris Shard, lvl 4. This is my first char and i tried to do the quest in Dasaria that requires 4 assasinations. But my character is not a rogue, got owned, and now all the guards are hostile. These guards stay hostile even if server resets and i cannot go anywhere without instantly dieing. Someone said that i have to complete all 4 of the assasination quests for the guards to stop being hostile. I've lost some 3k exp and a lot of gold trying but was only able to complete the first kill. I was wondering if a DM could turn off the guard's hostility on my character and was thinking that maybe there should be some way to prevent this from catching new players. Like reset guard hostility on server reset or let a character pay a writt to make guards friendly or something.

Are you sure about the between server resets part? Reputation is not preserved across server resets.

And just speak to the questgiver after a successful kill, your reputation with the guards will automatically be reset. You don't need to kill all four, whoever told you that was misinformed. In fact, you don't even need to kill any of the intended victims at all in order to complete the quest.

Otherwise wait until either your stealth or combat skills have improved before attempting it again. Some people use invisibility spells or abilities to flee the scene, though the stealth bonuses can only be obtained by, well... using stealth.

Positive about server resets. This occured about 2 weeks ago and i was playing one time when the server reset. Also, i did speak with the questgiver after the first kill and before and on many occations and he doesn't offer an out and the guards are always hostile. If i talk to him after server reset the dialog starts as if i've never spoke with him before, but he wants me to do another assassination other than the one in the arena that i have already done. The guards are hostile if i refuse or accept.

And i don't have stealth and my exp goes nothing but down since the guards kill me half the time on screen transitions so i can't gain more lvls to do the other kills. All money is gone from all the deaths for invis pots. There really is nothing i can do unless hostile is off other than start a new char or just stop playing this really frustrating game..

I was the one Who told him about having to Kill all 4 guys to complete the quest and not be hostile anymore.
Ive done the quest a few times and each time I have had to stealth or go invisible just to even reach the target. The hostility was not reset until I killed all 4 target and then handed it in.
I was with him talking to him about this and then the server reset and he was still hostile.

Apparently he seems to be on EOS status.

The victim and location are random -- You are indeed starting the quest anew each time; you cannot judge from the location of the first target, it's never -exactly- the same, though there are a handful of locations which are re-used.

I've reviewed the quest and tested it and it's working fine for me. I need to understand more information about the situation and possibly take a look at your character. One important question I have is after a server reset, do the guards attack you as soon as you materialize in the Mistyvale?

Also please stop talking to the questgiver if you can't successfully finish the quest.

I appreciate that you're just trying to help, but you're giving out all sorts of incorrect information here, please stop speculating. A potential issue has been reported now we'll take it from here.

Yes, Guards are hostile when server resets. The uber guard in mistyvale is hostile and kills me unless i go out the back door. Then the guards outside are also hostile.

Well that is definitely something that is not supposed to happen. I'll send you a PM about when we can meet in game so I can look at your character.
