2 questions (PVP auto flag, and bounties)
Posted: Tue Jan 14, 2020 4:16 pm
I'm fairly new to this server, and have two questions that I've been unable to find the answers to.
I saw a few days ago, in the evening, some system text that said there was a bounty on a player. I think two different players had bounties. The first person to kill that player would get some coin.
What triggers the bounties? Is it someone in a battleground who has met some criteria? A player who is attacking non-hostile NPCs? Something else?
The other question involves being auto-PVP flagged. I see this server is listed as PVE, but when walking from northern to southern Barrens, it will auto PVP flag my character. I walk back into northern Barrens and it goes away. This happened several times and was repeatable. I did not attack any players or NPCs that are opposite faction nor does my character have the "enabled" option on PVP. Is this a bug? Or is there some event or something where certain questing zones PVP flag you?
/edit: The auto PVP flag was the sword icon type. Looking online, it looks like this is associated with permanent free-for-all PVP areas like Gurabashi Arena. Except I was just in a normal raptor-filled questing area in South Barrens. Any ideas?
/edit #2: I tested some more and the auto PVP flag definitely seems like a bug. I'll report it in the bug form. It only happens in areas where the words "Southern Barrens" come up on the screen. If I move a few feet to either side so those words disappear, even if I'm still on the south side of the bridge, the sword icon/PVP flag goes away.
