Lets say you have two large guilds having a nice fight in an area. Both sides are flagged as combatants. What is to stop a third group or individual that is flagged as a NON-combatant from running into the middle of the fight, causing them to be inadvertently attacked/killed by one or both sides, getting them then flagged as corrupted?
- Virtek
- Rednam
so a cleaving weapon type attack, while not 'tab-targeted' will still only hit one player, and only if they are combat-flagged?
You have it half-right.
A cleaving type of attack might damage multiple "targets," but it will not hurt a non-combatant player unless the attacker has opted-in to allow damage to non-combatants.
The same holds true for healing. Unless you have opted-in, you will not heal a corrupted player if you are not corrupted as well. Even if it is an AoE heal.
The default has these options turned off.
Well said, @Virtek !
