The whole point and feel is 'cutthroat'.

It's not cutthroat.

Agreed.
If it was really cutthroat you'd be able to engage and kill other players at will, and their characters would be permanently dead if killed.
Standing on loot and sniping it while other people are killing monsters for you is just pansy shit, not cutthroat at all.

So you want me to kill monsters, pick up loot and then kill the random weidro next to me for talkin shit?


And how is anyone supposed to level at that rate?


Because you know, the biggest reason for playing public games if fast leveling. Not farming.

I'm at work so don't have time to find a link but GGG have already said they would like to maintain the "cutthroat" feel of the game.

Think that probably means it's cutthroat... just sayin...

It's not cutthroat. Intentions have nothing to do with the outcome.

Sigh... pedantic much?

It's the feeling that GGG are going for... in the context of the conversation. Its irrelevant if your definition is different. Its not even my definition of it. I was mentioning what they mentioned (hopefully not out of context)...

jeez... anything for an argument.

Says you. I enjoy the quantity bonus. If the party kills fast, it means I get loot faster. It's win win.

If they take a unique, surely I will kill 'em for it back.

No one would have the option to kill someone for "talking shit". You made that up in your head.

The problem is the looting system.. Players do not get rewarded for the mob they killed and have every right to complain..

Its a team effort at that point, everyone is killing the same guy, so the item said guy drops is for everyone.

The loot system makes this game a 100% solo RPG for me. I enjoy it but its kind of sad that you dont get the option to create a party game.

For the fans of cutthroat - give them a ffa option
For the rest of players - give them an instanced loot option.

Win/win everybody happy.

Guess there would be 100 times more Instanced than FFA games ;)

THIS was the feeling GGG was going for? ARE YOU SURE?! Surely they wanted it to be true FFA loot. This timer bs isn't their vision. Not at all. I imagine their vision didn't include "ninja = kick" groups either.

If this is their vision... if this is their idea of cutthroat... then I certainly disagree with it; as stated previously.

Pedantic... pfft.

Indeed? I don't think they wanted the timer either, it was something they implemented to help people who played ranged, lagged or had slow connections. As mentioned before.

And you're talking about some kind of 'cutthroat mode' which i believe they have planned for future races (they did some in CB) where, if you die you drop all your gear. cool. whereas I'm talking about a 'cutthroat feel' to the game as talked about by GGG.

Hope that clarifies.

I'd still argue the feel isn't cutthroat. If people stand in front of loot to purposely make it so that player collision happens and I miss my chance to take it, then it gets a little annoying.
