N.Newport Newb Guards

Is it at all possible to super-buff the Newport Newbie Guards? In the last week it's been impossible to find them up because they are being repeatedly killed, making it impossible to do quest turn-ins.

I have petitioned this, and know of quite a few others who have petitioned it as well ... I've yet to stay online long enough to receive a response, but have been told by others that the general response is "too bad so sad"

I can't see how this can be seen as anything BUT griefing ... I find it hard to believe that the xp gained and/or drops received are so phenomenally uber as to warrant killing them, instead of hunting in similar-level zones. So it can only be assumed that they are being killed in an attempt to make life difficult for the little guys.

Is there ANYTHING that can be done to resolve this (obviously annoying) ongoing problem?
 
I remember at Free Atrus(at the nnp gates) I killed one of the guards and the bounty hunter spawned and raped me pretty good. I thought it seemed like a good idea.
 
man who kills quest NPCs then tells you "too bad so sad" when you ask if you can turn something in before you kill them again.
 
I dont know if someone has been killing them or not , they never seem to be up at night and I am hard pressed to believe someone is dedicated to wiping them off the face off the earth every lunar event.

:tinfoil:

But yeah if someone actually is they are a record breaking arse in my book.
:hmph:
 
oh lol at night, no wonder. their shift is up and they are asleep. check back when they are on duty.
 
I think the gate guards do not despawn, but the guards for quests do go away at night. Its always been that way AFAIK.

Most npcs are on a daily cycle, at their jobs at day and then at a tavern / their homes / simply depopped at night. Check when it's sunny to do your quest handin.

As someone mentioned, players who kill newport npcs often have to deal with the bounty hunter, who has a very large chin and isn't afraid to use it.

maybe you're right, the GMs are lying, and everyone else is faking their recollection of the issue, and you're being perma-grieffed every single ingame night. :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil:
 
3 questions:

1) Are there no guards at all there, or are the quest-related ones just replaced by others?
2) If there are no guards there, how many times have you observed it?
3) Have you waited around to see if they come back from being trained to the CH zoneline?

1) No guards there at all ... sorry, I should have made that part clearer earlier
2) Multiple occasions ... myself as well as others. Many noted not having seen them up in close to a week (although I seem to have been lucky and snagged them last night)
3) Waited around for nearly an hour, more than once

Edit: To add one thing, it's been about 50/50 between daytime/nighttime that I've been checking

... I'm not going to even grace the nasty responses to my post with a proper response ... I asked a polite question & thus far have received (mostly) nice responses. It is appreciated.

Then it sounds like it's something other than just the night shift. Hopefully one of the GMs will have a chance to pop in and investigate next time it happens.
 
Uh, I realize that it's night time, but they're the guards who watch over the front gate and save newbies from rampaging gnoll pups. Even if the named guard despawns, shouldn't there be SOME guards there? None of the other cities completely lose their guards at night. Guess we should hope Kaezul doesn't attack past 8pm because man, Newport has no defense.

I don't know if somebody IS killing them or not, but if they aren't and they just depop at night... that's kind of stupid. And it should really be changed.
 
I have an alarm clock set for 8pm game time, I run over to newport and camp the guards till morning starts and go back to exping else where. I do it cause they drop gems worth 10k to vendors but only during the nightly hours. They only drop 500pp gems during the day so not worth my time.
