for future possible events, please do not schedule any more until war camp guards and PvP flagging are fixed. right now the current state of the game allows for OP groups to farm the other side, especially in the two situations i mentioned. When a group of one side can literally run another group up into their own war camp guards in tow and still over come the healing and shields to kill you and your group in the middle of the camp I'd say there is a problem. particularly when those in the WC are taking almost no damage with the guards attacking them.

second is being PvP flagged for healing or being healed while farming. this allows for the gutless super pros stalking the PvE zones for easy kills. as far as I know based on the set up in the zone this is not a PvP server due to the guarded areas and the fact that you have to be flagged before you can be killed by a foe. if indeed this is a PvP server then let's set it up that way and make sure every one knows going forward. otherwise I have a level of expectation that unless legitimately flagged I can grind and farm in relative peace.

at the moment all these events are just one big farm session for one side or the other so please fix just these two things before inviting the entire population back on for one of these events..

Firstly nothing is wrong with warcamp guards they assist with enemies they are not suppose to insta kill u, the level 55 champs do that..well atleast 2 hits. One of the worse changes on official servers from my point of view was the warcamp overextension damage, it promoted cowardly play. Generally if a group is stupid enough to push into the warcamp and your group cant take them out with help from the guards its more likely a level difference or the lack of any teamplay/coordination on your part.

The amount of players stalking pve areas is very very low and if by chance you happen to be rvr flagged at the same time u bump into someone and u die, hunt the **** down or ask in advice for someone to come help ya, not really an issue its not as if u lose all your gear or u have an epic trek back to where u were.

The 2 issues u listed would have no impact on the apparent "one big farm session for one side", with war 1 side loses 1 side wins, numbers and teamwork make the difference.

and everything you describe here is what I would call a PvP server and if in fact that is what his is then there really is no reason for guards anyway. the WC generally is thought of as a safe zone and being killed when you re spawn in it doesn't exactly inspire a safe anything. I too hated the one shot cannons as they added that cowardly affect you speak of. I get that this is basically an Alpha state server and maybe I over emphasized my request but that is all it was, I suppose more than anything I'm looking for definition just for expectations sake.

If you are flagged in pve then you stay away from common areas that players come simple only time i see people get killed in pve are on the roads near rvr lake and in the wc. there is also the fact that many players are in the rvr lake unflagged and they complain when you heal the bo guards i know i hunt in the pve areas on my sw just because i like using terrain trees,bushes,rocks ect more fun than attacking someone in rvr lake.

I'm all for a pvp server since that was what my first server was after launch

come on Wixx you know better than that. my issue here is not the location or being flagged it' starting out not flagged while PvEing and then casting a heal or being healed and now you are flagged. sets things up for the cowardly ambush usually by crappy AM's and Shammies that want to prove their in game manly ness. nothing like being knee deep in a group of npc's thinking you are not flagged then suddenly dying at the hands one of those crappy players all the while they are laughing at you calling you noob. bet your ass those douche bags get hunted down and farmed right out of the game!!

I think my issue is that I play with a certain level of "fairness" that it seems many other players just don't have and that is on me. so thank you to those that have brought War back, I know you do this without pay and on your own time. I only wanted a bit more clarity of game play from those working behind the scenes..

You mean in the PvP lake or just random? If it were up to me the whole server should be pvp actually.

PvE. if you throw a heal or get a heal in PvE it flags you so if you are out farming or grinding with a friend you can inadvertently set yourself up for an unexpected death if not careful. PvP server is fine with me, just say so and flag everyone when you log in. no unexpected surprises then.

And this happened how often exactly? Not to put your worries aside but this doesn't seems like something that happens on a daily basis or really matters much in this state of the game. Its ment so a pve flagged characters cant heal a PvPer without being able to attack?

Normally once someone finds you flagged they will stick around also some are jumping into aoes in order to flag you which really sucks when you are farming. healing someone who isn't flagged causing pvp flag on both players is a bit of a pain

I will try and fix this asap.

it's happened to me 4 or five times now. usually some punk who can't get a legit kill in the PvP zone. my group usually hunts them down mercilessly. I'm not talking about a PvP flagged individual throwing a heal or getting one from a flagged healer. I'm talking about two or more un flagged players. when a heal is cast it flags all players in the party or if no party then the two healing and being healed.

thank you for looking into this
