Just confirmed that you cannot see any health bars while a ghost on the demo.

How? You would have to gate out to escape.. There's no recall on Siege rules..

So I thought I would share my experience with TG ghosting the balron keep and how much it has affected my game play in as little as 30 days. To preface the pic I have I want to explain what they're doing and how I know they are ghosting. Their stategy is to wait until I have provoked the Balrons to attack each other, now because I usually hide inside the spawn area as shown in the pic...they will usually wait until 1 Balron has died, leaving the other Balron weak and slow. This is when they run in, with numbers. You notice they block the single exit, with 1 guys while 2 reds attack me loot the Balrons. So just because a ghost cannot see health bars doesn't prevent a ghost from seeing one Balron dead. After all the Balrons are the threat...I tried to take a series of pictures but i forgot to paste the first one showing the time I arrived at the keep, however, I can tell you and you can see by looking at the Balrons hp bars that hey came very promptly upon my arrival for the 2nd time tonight. Again, this is their strategy indefinitely, facilitated by a ghost, and I know so because it is always the exact same circumstances and the timing is perfect...everytime. In my opinion this is the worst form of griefing that I've experienced in online games because its a purely an abuse of multi-client multi-account availability that directly inhibits my game play. If TG was a pking guild who ran dungeons, and did all the hots spots 5 times a night and caught me there 3 of those times I couldn't complain. But just as others called it, this is a ghost cam and I can't find enough words to explain how BS it is and entirely not era-accurate.

The topic is ghosting, not "its easy to escape 3 pks in balron keep according to Mike123"
