Subject: Targetted?


Hi all,

Once again I was reminded why I hate Crushbone and other places like it.
I died horribly to a castle train last night. Now I am starting to get
used to it, but what troubles me is the fact that every orc just loves to
target me. For instance I was watching a group fighting in the castle, I
figured well I can't kill any before someone steals the kill so I stood
and watched. Standing by the table in the throne room, I was suddenly
attacked by 4 orcs in the throne room. Now I wasn't fighting, nor was I
severely injur, but the orcs decided I was a bigger target than the rest
of players actually attacking them. So like usual I get mauled by a
Royal guard, 2 emmisaries and a Lego. Now that wasn't too bad and I could
have gotten away until DVinn ran by and thought I was a better target than
the guy who was fighting him. Now I ask why would a mob want to fight me
over the person attacking it???? It makes no sense to me and the fact
that I am in no way a tank makes it way too difficult for me to stay
alive. Now I would either like the ability to fight better or for Verant
to tone the aggro towards bards just a little.

BTW has anyone noticed a faction hit message whenever something dies
around you?? I was hunting Gnolls in Highhold pass and was constantly
given a faction hit message everytime something died. This occurs whether
I attacked it or not. I was singing anthem or hymm at the times when this
occured and none of my party members attacked anything at all. What
gives?
