Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I thought that the guards sitting in caves do responds on call "help"/"guards!" but they won't. The other day I've meet a new player chased by some mobs around a guard tower, he soon died, but 2 guards were just standing few tiles near him, when other 3 were hiding in nearby cave.

Posted August 31, 2020 I reckon the problem in your case was the caves into which guards slipped, and never can come out. On surface, guards should not be blocked by any structures, but I observed them to be (especially at bridges) sometimes. A mistake often made by players (not in the case displayed, but I made it frequently) is targeting the wrong mob. The guards will attempt to go onto the mob in target which might not be the one recently attacking. This is giving the false impression that guards are not responding to a guards! or help call. Other than those possibilities, there may be a bug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) Guards (on deed tower, on the mountainside where there is a mine underneath with a minedoor a few tiles away from the tower) still keep getting into the mine and they never leave to any call neither answer if called on monsters in the cave where they are. Only workaround so far is to kill all of them every few days which is quite ridicoulus. EDIT: case1 - guards in mine mob outside: they respond in chat but do nothing case2 - guards and mob in the mine: No guards respond.

Posted November 13, 2020 Guards only work on surface been so forever, I do not see it as a bug. Put a mine door on the entrance to fix the problem with guards getting trapped. Your target also need to be near the tower on surface to come, guards can roam far away from tower outside its range of 20 tiles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
