Subject: Ghost faction (was Treasure changes in Frontier Mountains)


Does anyone know for certain if these "ghost" faction messages actually
improve/worsen your faction? If so I may be amiable now in Cabilis. Here
is what happened. I was fighting in the Overthere when my group pulled 3
sarnaks. We snared one and I fired up screech. The 2d and 3d sarnak
weren't snared so they ran so far away that when the fear wore off they
never came back. I was pulling but didn't see the two sarnaks anywhere
nearby. I assume they continued to wand around the zone. Next few pulls
were nothing but rhinos, tigers, and cockatrices. Then I started to get the
"ghost" faction messages for the sarnaks(plus Cabilis/minus sarnaks). I'm
assuming that the two sarnaks I feared passed by other sarnaks and added me
to their hate list. So when other people killed them I got the faction
message. A side benefit to this is that from that point on it was very easy
for me to pull sarnaks. Normally to pull them I have to get withing FCC
range. But since I was on the hate list for almost every sarnak in the zone
all I had to do was get one within sight and it would aggro on me
automatically. To top it off on some occasions the sarnak I pulled would
bring a friend with him that wasn't even in sight. I ended up getting
numerous ghost faction messages all night long. I haven't been to Cabilis
yet but with all the ghost faction I've gotten while in the Overthere it
might be possible that I can roam freely in there.

Well thats lovely... I hope having ultra negative faction won't hurt me...

I have learned to ignore faction messages in kunark as I get them
constantly. (But its not a bug according to the Veeshan Guides).

In any case its still pretty darn annoying as I usually pull (most people
don't pull fast enough for my taste). Especially against things that run
fast, like the giants...
