Why aren't guards getting angry anymore when you have your weapon out?

Was more immersive imo...

They think you're a Protector, or at least an armed tourist come to buy their products. They replaced weapon agro with the new thief system.

Guards will get plenty upset with you if you stand with your weapon out in the middle of town....


On a planet with fire rain.

Because you can't walk into town and hurt anyone anymore.

There are other ways to make a guard mad at you... and what the person above me mentions about not being able to hurt them with the primary attack.

Oh didn't realize I can't attack town npc anymore. Makes sense now that they dont get angry without a threat. Still prefer the old way though.

Yeah I find it really odd walking around an Apex town heavily armed, and the guards are fine with it. Would they be okay if a bunch of rebels walked into town and did no other crimes?

I agree. This made the game more linear. If I wanted to massacre a Floran tribe, then I should be able to massacre a Floran tribe.

I actually like this new way. Since the way to make them made is actually reeking havoc; ie stealing objects in line of sight of guards/civilians. Civillians will run to notify guards in that instance. Before it was hands down no matter what you did. This has more structure in a decent direction. Although you are able to steal things from their storage containers; yet taking the container itself...

Also note they will blame you for destroying housing if a meteor or house is burnned down before their eyes if you were in the vacinity of them when it happens. It is based on line of sight and vacinity mainly, so I like that change. Better than all guards are angry village wide because you didn't holster your weapon.

Be warned though that certain attack types can damage them. Namely environment type ones like a motolov where fire will do area of effect.

The other thing I like is that I can attack or ward off beasts without having to rely on guards to come and still be ok with the guards. Ran into lots of that in the past builds, where I was just trying to fend off the beast in the wild, namely birds, so they didn't kill me. You could alert the guards to drawn weapon then due to that even if it wasn't aimed at them.

So there are pros & cons to the old & new systems in place. :)

ive destroyed blocks tons of times. they get a little mad but then forget about it

[Scipio1st]

must depend on the town, i destroyed a few and had to slaughter the whole town. But I feel like it should be like Skyrim where you can attack anyone at anytime...
