I have been busy tonight testing out the latest patch and it seems all good from what I can tell. However I just came across a serious exploit which I have just reported to exploits@ageofconan.com Scenario: 3 x level 80 SCUM players were blocking the entrance to the noble district so you could neither enter or leave. That in itself sucks but it is not an exploit. We managed to get a group together and take down the culprits with great satisfaction. As we headed back up to where the first bridge is with all the guards we were attacked by a level 55 SCUM player and when we defended ourselves the guards attacked killing two of us. The level 55 remained untouched. When we tried to run back to the group the same level 55 attacked again and even though he was standing in the group of guards he was allowed to attack any high level player and not have any penalties. We couldnt cross the bridge because he could easily kill one of us and if we lifted a finger against him the guards would kill us on sight. I know the PvP patch came in to stop high level players ganking low level players but if it remains like this its feasible for a small group of level 40-50 players literally blocking level 70-80 players and able to KOS with zero penalty. Once people catch on to this exploit its going to cause a ton of low level players to gank as much as possible for the PvP experience. I hope they change this in the next couple of days because tonight the noble district was basically left unplayable. It was strange to see a raid group consisting of 10 x level 70-80 players blocked on one side of the bridge by one level 55 player. We all warped out or logged off. So its really affecting the game as it stands. The rule should be that any player at any level attacking another will incur the same penalty regardless. Otherwise what is stopping a level 70 kill level 80's and having the protection of 10 guards? Nothing. If you see this exploit please send in a mail. Thanks

Did they remove the aggro from guards for attacking people, like they used to do? Before it didn't matter what level you were if you were the aggressor you would get attacked by the guards. |

If they removed the aggro for the lowest level player that is really daft. I might as well grab my new level 30 assassin, hide in front of the guards and hit every level 40-50 that walks by because its a 100% gimmie. If they dont change this then the game has a major issue as I cant see how I could keep playing knowing that I can get ganked by a player 20-30 levels lower and I have no choice but to run or take it. |

Not sure about this one yet seems they're trying to confirm it as well, they have a sticky now. Their explanation so far is that you need to be in a level appropriate area to use the redeemer npc. I'll check again to see if the status has changed. |

Well if thats the case great... but still irritating to have this overlooked during testing... no? |
