Neutral Guards attacking Gank victims?

First of all YES I am in warmode and I enjoy it but… The new neutral guards in Vol’dun at Temple of the Devoted are broken… I was attacked by a Paladin inside the temple, popped Netherwalk, and WALKED to the guards without touching the Paladin that was attacking me nor healing myself. Just walked to them. The guards killed me and he got away. Now I am watching them kill an AFK Alliance DH that was attacked… Working as intended?

I had this happen to me yesterday in the same place. I landed to do one of the new Naga quests and was attacked by two horde. I used Heroic Leap to get away (It never touched any of them, Horde or guards.) and they attacked and managed to kill me before I could get away. The two Horde were being attacked at first, but both of them weren’t being attacked as they were dancing on my corpse. I went back on my rogue and watched later and they did it twice more to players landing. Guards would attack them at first, but then attack the person being ganked as soon as they used ANY ability at all. I was actually going to make a thread about it, but seeing how toxic a lot of the community is on here when you discover something broken or an exploit…

Yes it’s happened to me too. I barely got away last night by jumping off the cliff. It’s ridiculous.

But I was the one who tried to gank though :grin:

Well that means it was working as intended on you.

PS: I also noticed they buffed at least those guards and the Tortollan guards. I used to be able to tank as many as I wanted, now they are hitting probably twice as hard it seems.

I’ll tag an Alliance, they go running to the “safety” of the guards, only to have their dreams of safety shattered as the guards delete them.

The Alliance must enjoy this, I’m constantly getting friend requests afterwards.

Sounds to me that the guards are working as designed =]

Usually if I need the guards I’m kind of screwed anyway. Hopefully they get it fixed, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

They are hitting very very hard now … you could simply outurn them now they root you and smash you . As usual Blizz has taken a hammer to the problem of FP ganking when a scapel was needed .

It’s kind of like when you were a kid and you and your sibling got into a fight and you both got punished regardless of who started it. I do agree in principle, the aggressor should be the one punished by the guards. Self-healing/flight should not be viewed as aggressive activity if you did not start the fight. However if you are a third party and step in to help your compatriot or if you actively start to fight back then yeah you have a guard beatdown headed your way.

If I attack someone and vanish the guards kill the person I attacked :0

I fell for this before. Alliance hanging outside so I opened on them. They cc’ed me and run away. I don’t feel like chasing them so I go back inside and the guards ripped me apart

It’s funny how the guards appear out of thin air like rogues … the other day I saw an alliance player standing at the FP, I went past him and did the turtle quest when I came out he was still
there and I thought , afk free kill . Opened up on him , guards showed up all around me , had to knock back and then jump off the cliff and glider away. Not sure what happened to the alliance player I attacked

Guards enjoy ganking too every now and then :slightly_smiling_face:

Nobody: Wpvp is too hard!
Blizzard: here is warmode, enjoy
Nobody: Wpvp is still too hard!
Blizzard: Now you can turn off wm in rested areas.
Nobody: But it’s still unfair!
Blizzard: Okay. . . Here are better rewards for the underdog faction.
Nobody: But it’s still too hard!
Blizzard: RELEASE THE GUARDS

Guards are doing much better DAMAGE, i WISH they could one SHOT players that would solve EVERYTHING.

If by solving everything you mean destroying the last remnants of open world pvp, you are correct. Much troll coming from a goblin :wink:
