Mentoring on PvP Servers: Back in LU 22 or not?

[rolento]

<div>Hello, I remember reading a post a while back about a dev posting all the changes that were made to mentoring.... and the fact that it would be back on the pvp servers as of LU22.  Was just curious on the status of this, and if it were true or not.  I thought all the revamps that were made were reasonable, I think people are just strongly awaiting its return so they can start playing along side their friends/family again... not to exploit PvP.</div><div> </div><div>So, will mentoring to back?  When can we expect LU#22? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />      Wish i knew the answer to that,  haven't even had the oppurtunity to play wtih my friend who was on vacation the first two weeks these servers came out..... hopefully soon.</div><div> </div><div>If you have any info please share.</div>

<div></div>Also, was there anything said about PvP development at the Fan Faire?  I didn't see anything posted on any of the fan sites <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div>I don't think we see the PVP changes on test.  You would have to get a dev response to get your answer.</div>

They never said it would be back in LU22. They said it would tentatively be in the next update or two after KoS, which did not pan out.It will be back when they finish the new betrayal quest, and you won't get a date until it's almost ready.<div></div>

<div></div>Mentoring should be back in action on PvP servers in Live Update #22: - There is now a 60-second countdown that begins when you elect to mentor another player. While it is in progress, moving or casting a spell will cancel the countdown. Mentoring will begin if the countdown is completed without interruption. - While mentoring, you may not make hostile acts against another player or player pet, nor can you perform beneficial actions upon any player or player pet that is hated by another player. <div></div>

<P>Is this all the changes to PvP mentoring that your planning?  Just wondering if you have other plans for mentoring as well, which would go in future updates, or you're just waiting to see how this one shakes out.</P> <P> </P> <P>Just curious.</P>

Thank you for the fast reply, as i've said i'm sure there is a large population awaiting mentoring returning to the PvP servers outside of instances so they can once again start playing with friends of all levels.

While I recognize this is all a serious and tricky issue, it sounds as if every person in your party who is mentoring is a duck in the water, unable to defend themselves or other party members, and this indeed sounds like a very dangerous and far less usable form of mentoring.<div></div>
