I’ve been noticing the camps on the south end of Alpine frequently have FALSE attack indicators. Haven’t watched in Desert yet.

People have said ambients, but I stood at the S center camp for about 10 minutes. There were no ambients, camp staff didn’t move and there were no attackers.

Please look into this, it is relatively new behavior . . maybe 2 weeks.

Swords will trigger if you kill the upgrade guy. It’s a great tool for scouts to divert attention.

Guess you encountered an ancient bug where camps just went on auto contest.

The camp is haunted by restless guaggan spirits. Offer pearls appease them. :P

Swords will appear if you just hit any of the guards then leave.

I belive he meant if you just leave the NPC dead it will keep recontesting. But honestly, why would anyone bother to just tap a camp when you can pretty much flip it before swords even come up?

Oh so it’s a PPT tactic for avoiding fights. No wonder I never thought about it.

lol, I guess so… I never thought of it that way… but when I’m roaming/havoc it’s one of the things I do to try to distract while the other part of my small team is set to power down a tower wall. I personally DO NOT CARE about PPT or the score period. Since linking I stopped caring about that altogether.

I simply now try to see what kind of things I can get away with before I get zerged to death. It’s the only way I can appear to have some fun in WvW since I totally dislike being a zerg drone and the small to med size servers where roaming and sneaky tactics used to produce some fun results, don’t exist anymore. I can still get away with some stuff, just nowhere near as much as before…
