shantale Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Can someone tell me how the heck on a PVE server can you become flagged for PVP if a Sith jumps into mobs your killing- 4 levels above my husband and I and it flags us for PVP???? I bought this game for PVE where does it say the last stretch to 50 is nothing but a gank fest on a PVE Server??? Ok done ranting but someone please explain how the last ten levels work so I can either get a refund on the game that is advertised for PVE??? But it is actually PVP???

mattdell Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If you hit a PvP flagged enemy, you will become flagged yourself. Very, very simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshalleck Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Stop hitting PVP flagged players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistafadedglory Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Boy that's tough. were you permanently killed? just rez and go along your merry way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenarie Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Somehow if someone manages to jump into your AE instead of being immune like they should be they take damage and it flags you. I haven't seen a dev comment on this but it must be a bug so hopefully it is on their fix list for soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantale Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 No I was not flagged and no I did not start the fight I am on a PVE Server and I was killing mobs that guy came into the mobs and un- flagged us, you can flame all you want but the fact is this is not correct for a PVE server!

Reevax Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If you hit a PvP flagged enemy, you will become flagged yourself. Very, very simple. very very wrong as well. Its a PVE server, you should not be able to attack a flagged player if you are not flagged yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shantale Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thank you Janerie I was wondering about it because I did not buy this game for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemrodh Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 they should put in an option to keep this kind of griefing out of the game. Maybe a way to not flag unless you remove a pvp lock out. For pve servers only. If you roll on a pvp server your sol.. period.. as for the carebear statement, think of it this way. go roll on a pvp server and never be allowed to be in the same instance as an enemy.. let me know how much fun it will be then ...

derrate Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 very very wrong as well. Its a PVE server, you should not be able to attack a flagged player if you are not flagged yourself Name one game where you can't. That's actually the reason to run around flagged, is so YOU get jumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swtorjkcbr Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 That's got to suck. I'm on a PVE server for the same reasons. Many a arrow in the back of the head taught be to play PVE Thanks Lineage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kandorr Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 very very wrong as well. Its a PVE server, you should not be able to attack a flagged player if you are not flagged yourself Well there's something wrong with the system then because I was able to target a non flagged person when I was also non flagged. I have read somewhere that it's something to do with a bug with AoE spells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die_Scream Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It's another broken/unfinished aspect of the game OP. The trolls in this thread represent the PvP mindset. They raise hell if anyone complains about PvP on their server. "Go to PvE server carebear" they'll spew. Then they want to berate you for getting griefed by their kind because of Bioware's oversight. In case you didn't know, it's broken. In finished MMOs, whether you hit depends on your flag, NOT the griefer's. Your abilities should hit everything but the griefer, since YOU are not flagged. Just add it to Bioware's DERP! pile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srqt Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 My guess is you used an AoE effect of some type that damaged the Sith player without having to target him causing you to get flagged. I remember reading something similar on teh RIft forums whe I was playing that game. I don't know if this is by design or an oversight (I also play on PvP so I didn't follow the issue to resolution in rift). But I would be that that is the cause of the issue.

Kandorr Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 If you don't want a Discussion don't *********** post in General Discussion. Open a bug report in game and fill out a report. Being flamed and trolled is not a discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsbond Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Man that is just wrong. Did someone actually say "what game doesn't do this?" Umm everyone I ever played because if they allowed such an idiotic thing the griefing would never end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgle Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 DCUO and Rift both had to patch this lovely feature as well. It just takes a few bored griefers to ruin your night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shantale Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thank you to all that responded nicely, I am hoping it is a bug and I did a in-game request but we know how Cs is it would be weeks before someone responded. And to all that is stating that this happens in every game your wrong I have been playing since the Mud days and I know what I enjoy and what I don't, call me care bear, call me what you want but you don't pay for my game so I don't think you should be telling me how I want to play, and if a game advertisement states that I do not have to PVP then I should not have to worry about if I am not on PVP server.

DevonDs Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 This is a serious issue. I hope the people who do this are quickly permanent-banned. I love this game but in my opinion this needs to be a priority in terms of being fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syphid Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Here's a better question. Why is it that players of another faction can follow you around on a PvE server healing mobs that attack you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
