From Nevrax:
Xavier wrote: We have just updated the Currently In Test section of the website to integrate a small change in one of the faction PvP features.

With the current version of this feature, when you leave a faction PvP area, a timer keeps you in PvP mode for 15 minutes; however, the testing phase revealed an issue, where in some cases you could get a erroneous system message saying that you're are safe while the timer is still keeping you in PvP mode. We will fix this bug *as part of a general PvP revamp to come later*; in the meantime, to avoid delaying the patch, we will decrease the timer value to keep you in PvP mode for only 2 minutes.

This timer is keeping me from healing fellow homins after I ticket out of the roots (until it counts down.. which it eventually does). Is this working as intended?

As it says, it is wrong :)

But, can anyone explain were and how Faction PvP works in KoD? I went there, and I couldnt attack a fyros digger (only did this for testing), and I am a Matis.

Does the fame of the digger play a part? I know he have been much in Matis.

You weren't in pvp are most likely. PvP area does not cover whole region, only parts of it.

Its only the kami/karavan fame of the players that counts. If hes been in matis a lot maybe hes been doing karavan missions and has switched sides :p

I should have been more clear. It is a two minute timer.

My question is when my feet are firmly in (say)Yrkanis is it intended that I am not able to heal someone (for two minutes) because I just left the roots.

My fear is that if I visit roots and get an outside call for help, that even I answer in time I will not be able to help due this timer issue that I never had when it was "broken".

Thanks :)

i guess its to prevent 'safe' healing if a player tps/leaves zone injured so can't make use of the immunity as a tactical tool
