Don't heal people fighting guards

Nadestepper · August 2015

I was trying to be nice and heal someone being attacked by a guard and I got a 200 gold bounty. So I guess that is a crime.

You're aiding a criminal so...

But you can give them a speed buff.

I think many of us have learned that one the hard way. It doesn't pay to be nice.

Cazzy · August 2015

I guess technically you're picking a side in a fight. I play it safe and just revive them when they fall

CidxLucy · August 2015

There should be like 50 people take one on with all max builds. lol

KronicDecay · August 2015

Once I was racking up kills for my mass murderer achievement and my friend was healing me and both him and myself wound up with about a 5k bounty. It was a fun time except the 24+ hr wait time for the bounty to come off for him lol

Why would you even consider healing or reviving those dastardly criminal no-goodniks? I'd heal the guards if I could (and if they needed it which they don't).

Healed a criminal under attack by a guard.

Life complete.

UrQuan · August 2015

Of course, because most of the heals in this game are auto-targeted it's pretty easy to do this by accident if you're in a legitimate combat inside a city and use a heal. Moral of the story is: don't use heals inside a city ever unless they're purely self-heals. It would be nice if there was a way to let all newbies know this before they leave the Wailing Prison, though.

My first experience with the guards in ESO was far different than what I remember in Oblivion. The guards in Oblivion were a cakewalk compared to the ESO guards, who in my humble ignorant opinion would have given the 300 a run for their money.

Who would've thought that aiding a criminal could be considered a crime?

Why, the wayshrine is always like, a few meters from the city sometimes IN a city, let them walk especially if they are below level 6. if they where dead in a dungeon that is a different story. also yes I learned that mistake the hard way as well

ontheleftcoast · August 2015

This is a really broken mechanic. Yes, you can argue you're "aiding and abetting a felon" except the game is pretty *** poor on deciding what a felony deserving a death sentence is. For example, I misstep and fall off a platform and take 8000 damage. "***! Better heal myself!" Switch to Restro staff and crank out a Healing Springs... as some criminal runs thru my AoE effect and now I'm a crook? Umm, no, that's BS. Unless I directly target the criminal for a heal I'm not aiding him, in fact he's stealing my heals so he's an even bigger crook! Up his fine but don't get up in my business.

Along with many other things that are loading screen only or just may not exist at all, you have no idea how POed I get when I mess up something, dig through the help and never see info on it ONLY to see it like 2 days later in a loading screen that may fade out before I can read it fully!

k2blader · August 2015

I did the same thing once but happily didn't get killed. Wish there was a don't-heal-(other)-criminals toggle.

Well, we can all join and slaughter the guard ( at least have the satisfaction to see the guard dead).

The guards are now killable,right?

Alucardo · August 2015

Yeah... I found that out the hard way when I was new to the game. OMERGUD THIS PERZON NEEDS SUM HEALS. Then the guard stopped attacking him and went straight for my face. I'd be ok with just a bounty. I think murdering me in cold blood was going a bit far.

Um, yeah, totally. Just go over there and kill one. We'll be waiting over here...

How many people do you think it would take to take down one guard? I would love to see that!

Volkodav · August 2015

I healed and ran FAST into the water so they couldnt kill me.
(Guards cant die.Period.)

Asherons_Call · August 2015

I think the word you're looking for is ACCOMPLICE

Just so I can confirm, I won't get attacked if I revive someone killed by the guards, right?

Zusia211 · August 2015

I never heal someone fighting a guard or heal anyone that seems way underleveled for a dungeon. Seen a level 14 in a 38 dungeon and just watched him die. (add evil laugh

)

Rikal · August 2015

Why do people keep talking about guards "killing" them? Characters are effectively immortal (unless you decide to delete them). You always magically revive no matter what. The only punishment a character ever gets is paying a fine and/or a "timeout" (waiting for bounty to magically disappear).

But given we are stuck with it, at least make the "avoid hitting innocents" option (or whatever it's called) on by default. so newbies don't get that unexpected gotcha right out of the gate. Or add something in the tutorial which allows players to disable it before they hit the "real" world.

Artfuldodger · August 2015

I once hit the player fighting the guard and got a bounty, works both ways. I was new and never realised he was a real person lol.

no but why, as I said to cazzy the wayshrine is practically right next to the town or in the town it is not that much of a walk besides they may be better off as the guards may just end up killing them again if they fled because they are too poor.

Violynne · August 2015

Look at it this way: if you only get the bounty (and pay it off), and the player gets the kill, you do to and, for some odd reason, get a +1 in the achievement to kill guards.
