Blight Encounters with friends? Someone is getting screwed


When we do blight encounters in maps (not blighted maps) invariably one mob always gets stuck as far from the pump as possible.

So one of us has to go down and clear it, making the encounter end and the loot pinata happen, but the lucky person who cleared the mob is too far away and gets no loot.

Hooray!

Hey GGG maybe force a menu interaction with Cassia to end the encounter so that one person in a party doesn't get the shit end of the stick?

Or, I don't know, finally fix pathing maybe?


whatever.

Obviously, GGG needs to fix the pathing. But until then:

I've been playing this entire league almost exclusively as a party, and we have literally never had this issue. Mostly because the loot pinata at the pump is a bunch of "who cares" garbage, and the actual rewards are in the chests.

Don't play with jerks who open chests when everyone isn't around, problem solved.
Waiiiit .... chests are FFA ?
Or chests' loot all go to the opener ?
SSF is not and will never be a standard for balance, it is not for people entitled to getting more without trading.

Neither. He's talking about the pump loot: at the end of a Blight encounter, all loot dropped from the blight lane enemies appears at once around Cassia's pump, allocated normally to all players within range.

Ahh, so the 'smart' loot allocation does not include people too far from the pump, I get it now.

Fair enough, that needs to be fixed indeed.

Yeah.
There is an issue.
Its often what one or two mobs are stuck in lanes.


(but I thought there are no any loot drops at the pump. Usually there is nothing at the end to look at - may be only in blight maps)
