Posted March 11, 2015 I am observing this for some weeks: In my vicinity there is a guard tower with 5 guards. When I call for help only one of the three groups (i.e. one or two guards) respond - regardless how often I repeat the call for help. The others can be seen standing around (sometimes close to the fight scene, as seen in this screenshot): You see that I called the guards repeatedly, and they responded in local chat. However, instead of fighting they just stand and watch! (Lazy guys, probably on strike... ) Most other guard towers work as expected - I only remember having seen this behaviour once or twice before. It is perfectly reproducable with this one, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2015 There is a tower up by Foxden that does the same thing. 1 guard helps, the other sit there and pick their nose. Repeatable every time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2015 If you have the fighting skill you can try killing the guards that don't seem to respond. Hopefully the new recruits will be more willing to do their jobs. You can also use /support in game and if a GM is available they can come see if there is an issue with the guards just standing around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 12, 2015 I have 3 towers guards near me and almost always some guards just sit and don't move when i call, lot of time they get stuck on caves nearby...they respond to the call but none come, even if they are just a few tiles away from tower. Sometime have not problem at all whit them so no idea really how's about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 13, 2015 As of today, those lazy tower guards are on duty again. No idea what happened - maybe the latest server reboot? Guard strike is over \o/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 28, 2015 I still observe this problem now and then. And it's not always the same guard tower, so there seems to be a guard bug of some kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
