Faction problem

[Crayak]

I just wanted to say thanks for the help on the newport ring 2 quest because of that little problem of the bag rotting. But I have another problem Ever since I was a lvl 1 necro I worked on improving my faction in newport. It is a known fact we necros start at dubious so we are unable to sell to newport merchants. So I worked on turning in sewer rathoods, giant beetle legs, and rat tails. After turning in over 200 of any of the following, my necro remained at Dubious but i thought that was normal. Then later on after turning in around 100 newport bounty tokens i still remained dubious. Finally after turning in a few major bounties and finishing newport ring 1 did i attain apprehensive. To my dismay after finishing newport ring 2 I dropped back down to dubious. I have asked many people in the game and they said this was odd so i should petition but after reading the petition rules i wasnt sure if it was supposed to be petitioned so I will post here. Some final things, I've never killed anything or done anything to lower my newport faction and I have never stood near someone killinng a newport guard.. I dunno if i lose faction that way but just in case I've made sure to zone away after seeing someone attacking a newport guard.

Alright thanks for your help!

There are some faction bugs right now due to recent changes of dark elf classes being moved around to new starting cities.

Another question about faction:

Is there a possibility to repair faction hits with Newport Guards Except the tokens and the Ring quests?

Since I started the Grobb Port Neck I dropped to threatheningly with them what is at least kos.
I think with being kos to them I can't fullfill any more Ring Quests and I also assume that I can't turn in any more bounty tokens because they would kill me on sight before I can get to them.

Will I need some enchanter to turn in tons of tokens to repair the faction or do I need to live without more then Ring II?

more faction issues

Not sure if this should go here, the faction thread I know is some where on the forums, but as my interests are quests I'll start here.

The situation - have gone from indifferent to aprehensive in the euridin pally guild which has killed my doing any of the quests there.
1. I had already done the first stage < turning in the bone ships>, have the skull for stage 2 but can only get welcome to the temple wanderer as the response.
2. tried doing newbie turn ins to get faction back , except that I am maxed out on them and have no recourse that I can find to raise faction higher
3. maxed out in salathi mari <sp> but can not get any of the class quests there either ;(

Possible solutions

1. restore faction benifits for killing enemy mobs - I know there is an issue here that we would end up with high levels factioning, and I don't know how the scripts work, but maybe you can set the faction hit to correspond to mob difficulty i.e. green con = min faction hit / red con = max faction hit

2. come to think of it, I don't recall seeing faction hits for some of the class factions on the turn ins < i.e. + ed defenders, + ed citizens> are the guilds on a seperate faction and if so what about the possability of adding them to the faction hits

3. I don't propose lifting the cap on turn ins quiet frankly it's a good idea, after all how much reputation can you build for turning in ratman hoods, but what about the possability of more specific faction quests?


Please don't take this as a rant, it's not intended to be. Frankly I love the server and have practically resigned as lead designer and gm of a NWN server to spend more of my free time here.

But from the rp aspect of a paladin player, quests are a big part of my playing. after all How can you be a renown knight of the realm if all you do is xp grind


Thanks for looking into it, even if it turns out that there is no fix
