Guild Wars 2

After getting tangled in a fight with a Queen’s Champion, the NPCs started fighting each other.

More screenshots for detail.

I’ve seen a couple of wargs attacking a third one, while this last one did nothing, somewhere a couple of days ago.
I wonder, how does this even happen? There’s no sort of class system that determines what attacks what? How do 2 npcs of the same class attack each other?

In theory, there would be a faction system in place to determine what will attack what (say, the Black Citadel faction will attack the Ascalonian Ghost faction, and so forth), but I’m not sure if anything like that is being used.

So, if not being used, they determine for each npc spawned a list of relations with any other npc, every time? That’s just crazy. There MUST be a faction/class system of some kind. But how come some particular npcs ignore it?

The wargs are in Brisban Wildlands. There are also two bears “sparring” with each other in Queensdale.

For what you are seeing I am guessing it involves projectiles and reflection skills.

It’s entirely possible that the Ebon Vanguard and the Ash Legion Scout are simply acting out a portion of an event which isn’t being noticed due to the Champion’s presence – if I recall correctly, the Ebon Vanguards and Ash Legionnaires are part of at least one event that requires talking them into not fighting.

The two bears in Queensdale is intended.

But I bet the wargs are not. There are from the same kind of npc, and two are attacking one that doesn’t fight back, and regenerates health as if it was ooc.
