Hello,
before I start - just in case - sorry if my tone is a bit harsh but im quite mad right at the moment.
Today I was looking for Corrupted Piter in North Badlands which drops a nice staff for my shaman.
He is said to spawn in a villager camp in the middle of the zone. He was not up so I thought the villagers there might be placeholders for him - they were apprehensive to me so I didnt think they would be on any "good" faction. Well I killed 3 of them when I noticed my chat window wasnt scrolled down totally, so i scrolled down to see I just got some major faction hits. The factions were:
Newport Guards
Newport Citizens
Crimson Guard
Hall of Fighters
Arcane Academy
I was shocked! I sureley did not want this to happen, but I thought - well you just have to raise them again - there must be a way to raise them if you can lower them. WRONG - I had checked wiki and also asked in /ooc but I was told that not all of them can be raised back up again.
I was like WTF is this?! You can lower these factions but cannot raise them up again? And how am i supposed to know this before attacking an npc? (my bard which did the killing and my shaman are my first chars here that i played more than just a few days - so i couldnt know this at alll.. )
Well I petitioned to have the factions reset or at least be told a way to do it myself. But the gm just deleted my petition it seemed. Without even giving the petition has been solved message I petitioned again to have at least a message what has been done about the petition. A bit later I got message that gms dont help incase of player errors.. (well to repeat.. first chars - how could i know.. but thats not the point).
So why cant you just raise these factions (and maybe others that also just can be lowered right now) It doesnt make sense to me. I really love SoD so far but this is just stupid.
I hope I just missunderstood and there is a way to raise these factions back up but if not there should be some ways at least. Im sure i am not the only person who ruined a faction by accident and now is mad he cannot raise it back again. Humans make mistakes but if you cannot correct these mistakes its just BS.. this is a game and supposed to be fun.
OK I havent figured out how bad these hits were - but thats not important imo - just not beeing able to raise it up sucks. My main who got the hits is a bard and i want her to be good aligned (just found out a few days ago what that means anyway) - so these hits are really bad for me no matter what.
Please implement a way to raise all these factions back up that one can lower by making such kind of mistakes that I did.
TBH (I am perfectionist and if something permanently goes wrong i usually dump stuff right away .. this is not cool i know but I start to loose interest then when i cannot make it perfect) I already thought about quitting SoD again over this if this is permanent.. as silly as it may sound to outstanders.
Thanks for reading and sorry for complaining but this just makes no sense...
EDIT: Before someone mentions it - yes I am registered since a year - I made a monk/shaman at that time but quit quite quickly again - came back like a month ago. (and about that faction stuff i did not know before or after my break.. never happened to me on any character beside my bard so far)
