Friendly Fire

Lately, people are dying from friendly fire. Players are killing players in dungeons, even though they are supposedly in the same group. If two players are marked for open PvP, this can and does happen. I only saw it happen once, a long time ago, before R120. Since R120 went live, I've seen it happen five times. I've personally only seen it on the New Moon event map, but I have friends who have reported it happening in other dungeons.

Yesterday I died, by burning to death, after killing Jullov and his plant. There were no other mobs around, but I was in a five-person group. Jullov does not use fire attacks, nor does his plant! One of the SWs in my group was using fireball.

I don't but premium. I had to spend 40 andermant to revive after that death on the New Moon map. Unless this is a sneaky new way to make more money, I'd say this is a pretty serious issue and should be addressed A.S.A.P.

 

easy solution take off pvp when all together

always a pleasure
soxx....

 

I have also seen that happening too. I also remember the player who was doing it was very obnoxious, because he asked for help, I convinced another player to go along and instead of targeting the mob of the cave, he was more obsessed with going after my friend. Needless to say the group disbanded quickly. Yes, while it is an easy solution, some persons find it a tad inconvenient.

 

That would be a work-around, not a "solution". As a non-premium player, that work-around would involve me travelling to a place where I can take off PvP, which would cost both silver and time. A solution would be for the problem to be addressed and fixed.

 

ah yes you was at event, so you could have took it off before entering?.you clicked pvp and died , so i guess thats one of those things, maybe a bug maybe not.. maybe next time you take it off before you enter..

always a pleasure
soxx....

 

So now I'm supposed to be psychic and predict what bugs are going to appear in the game? If I had no clue that this bug existed at the time, why would I bother to remove my PvP? You are either incredibly stubborn and self-righteous, or you can't read. Since you can write, I assume you can read. Either way, this will be my last direct response to you.

 

thank you, since you posted you got killed then maybe you will think about taking off pvp when you enter next time lol....
have a good day ...

always a pleasure
soxx....

 

He has probably already removed PvP status for the time being. I think any sane person would think of that temporary "solution" once they realized why they were being killed.

Sev is asking for this problem to be fixed with the next Hotfix. It should not be necessary to remove PvP status so a group member cannot kill you...

 

As you correctly surmised, I had already thought of the suggested work-around before I posted the issue. But, as you also correctly asserted, an inconvenient work-around is not a permanent solution. I am hoping for this to be investigated, and fixed, sooner rather than later.
