PvP Status and Wars

Dunno if they've stated it outright, but I'm fairly sure that literally every mmo that has guilds has some sort of visible emblem to indicate that someone's a member. And if your guild is at war with his - there's also another icon indicating as much.

Lineage 2 had 2 small fists (with one fist indicating an unaccepted war declaration) which was later changed into blades for better clarity.





In other words, UI will tell you.

I don't think we have any information on this. The intuitive answer would be that they would not appear Purple as a result of being a member of an enemy guild, but rather get a separate "Guild War Target" icon by their name instead.

Steven has said that guild wars operate outside the normal PvP flagging system, so this sort of decision wouldn't be terribly strange. You could see that player as Purple or Green (or even Red) based on their other activity, but still know they were free to attack, and that they could freely attack you, due to the "Hostile Guild" icon by their name.

Is this what they'll do? Who knows. Might be worth asking in the Q&A thread for the regular end of the month stream.

Changing the name itself stands in the way of other interactions. If I just see an orange dude I might not attack him if I'm not necessarily in the mood, but if I see a red dude that's also a war enemy - that bish is going down.

Not killing a solo random war enemy won't have any real impact on the overall war. But even if it did, if my guildmates have a problem with my decisions they'll be free to leave at any moment. In my 6 years of GLing, no one has had problems with my decision making.

A single person transporting stuff will be nothing compared to a caravan led by their guild.

Intrepid have said that guild wars will be more meaningful than just "go kill people until the war randomly stops", while also saying that we can kill our enemies as much as we want during the war, so I'd assume that singular kills won't have that big of an impact.

If my guildmates don't want to fight in wars - I just wont accept war declarations nor make my own. And if they do want to fight but are not ok with me not killing a singular player - they're free to leave the guild out of disagreement with my gameplay decisions.

Oh, I'm sure we'll never even come across one another so you got nothing to worry about.
