Heat of Battle

Heat of Battle will be triggered by performing an aggressive action against another player regardless of notoriety, or when interacting with various faction content events or wayposts.

• Aggressive actions include attacking or stealing from a player
  • Aggressive actions do not include retaliatory empty-handed wrestling attacks or weapon swings your character makes when someone attacks you
  • However, it is an aggressive action to re-target your attacker (for example, to avoid attacking monsters instead of the attacking player)
  • Note also that using harmful spells (such as Weaken, Telekinesis, or Energy Bolt) will trigger Heat of Battle, even when used against an attacker
• The Heat of Battle flag is now a visible buff on players in the Buff Bar (shown below)
• Heat of battle will prevent the player from utilizing any moongates, recalling, or entering an inn room while it is active
• Heat of battle will enable the "PvP Mechanics" of an Aspect
