Doors and caught stealing

Soleya · August 2015

Why is that when we are caught stealing we can't use any doors. This means there is no escape if you are indoors, since guards are invincible.

Silly indeed

On a similar topic, the guards can do the chain pull through walls and floors. And they can still see you even if you use dark cloak or shadowy disguise. Which also seems odd.

Then don't get caught? This mechanic is not only for stealing, but is for any time that you are in combat. For example, if you have mobs chasing you out of a delve, if they are close to you then you cannot exit the delve until you kill them or lose aggro. Distance is the key here. If you can manage to CC the guard and get far enough away, you can use the door.

Theft has consequences. Who knew?

Invis pots, drop the aggro, hit the door, gone

It makes sense for the building to go on lock down if the guards are after you.

Caught while hidden, multiple times.

Also, Invisible pots don't always work. Just tried it now, guard still hit me even though I was invisible.
