A Fistful of Metal - Factions

Laeal · 12-21-2007, 02:50 AM

I just finished working on the quest A Fistful of Metal and I understand why my Greenhoods faction would go down when killing the Jaded Shrouds (aka The Greenhoods), but why would I also loose Greenhood faction when killing the The Freedom Ambassadors (aka Freeport Emissaries)? It is not a big deal as the faction hit is very small, but it appears a bit inconsistent as the Freeport Emissaries, by their own words, are enemies to The Greenhoods.

Huh? There weren't any factions involved during beta. I guess they changed it.

No matter. A couple of orcs will raise it back up.

I think the ghostly students in the Forest Ruins in Qeynos are still on the Dreadnaught Bruiser faction from Freeport ever since they revamped that zone.

There was faction loss for the Green Hoods, but only 900 faction (after killing the lot of them).

Unless you were borderline with ally faction, it shouldnt be much of an issue.

The OP isn't really complaining about the faction loss, as stated it can be repaired pretty easily.He brings up the point that it makes no sense that the Freeport guys also lower Green Hoods rep.When I did this quest, I was baffled by that too, as according to the story they're supposed to be 2 camps at odds with each other. I assume its just some sort of bug or oversight though.
