NPC guards should react to PC aggression

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

NPC guards should react to PC aggression

Post by Shalvenay »

The NPC guards in town react to NPCs aggressing NPCs, but not to PCs aggressing, well, anything? Seems odd that they'd be able to make an OOC distinction -- you'd think that PCs going after non-hostile NPCs would get treated just the same as hostile NPCs who go after non-hostile NPCs, at a minimum!

Of course, we'll need to discuss the consequences of having them get involved in PvP that starts up within the city walls...

Many years ago, before I even joined Arelith, the guards were scripted to do this.

The result was mass murder of PCs...
