Anyone else come across this. The Albs had taken Arvakr Faste. We (Mids) had a small group scouting Avr when we came under Alb guard attack. We rooted the guards and ran to Glen to escape the agro. We reached Glen (Mid held) but to our supprise the Alb guards ran, once the root droped, all the way to Glen and killed us in the courtyard of Glen. The additional supprise was that the Glen Mid guards did not atack the Alb guards. Apart from the obvious "Mids are crap anyway blah blah blah" has anyone had this before? I was wondering is it an AI bug or is it supposed to work like this?

I would have thought guards would defend the keep if some other realms came near? Oo

I agree. That is why we were so supprised at the lack defence of our guards.

Uhm... this is a known fact for at least the last 1 1/2 years...
Your own guards attack only other realms players, not NPC's nor mobs of any kind. So it doesn't matter if it were guards or windswept wraths or the glacier giant. Your guards wouldn't have helped you.

Artifical Insanity?

Although it makes perfect sense for guards to fight each toher, if you watch patrol routes of opposing keeps the guards will run right thriugh each other and not attack, Strange mythic logic :)

In an early patch the guards AI was alterd so thay didnt attack other guards this was doneto stop ppl pulling the guards from one keep onto the guards of agasent keeps to help during keep takes.

Never heard of this one before :eek6:
I would have thought that like mobs they would loose intrest after not been in combat for an alotted time.I guess that part of the coding was not added or left out on purpose?

Well I had a real strenge thing happen once with gaurds. I was running down to Fort Sauvage, when I got agro from a great drake. Then a alb patrol came by killed the drake and ran of.

my bedst guess is that those silly drakes has some AE that hit the gaurds or something.
