Don't need to have a brilliant IQ for that =p you dont need a vision, you need potential new customers, or do you think CB people still putting 1000 of dollars/euros in every month? if the most people quit this game, in the best situation, it turns in a AoC NR.2 with the most terrible support in game history and things like (for example) 20euro chartransfer 10euro namechange and awful comfortability when you dont put a lot of money in it ......

It's just not in the stars. Its a good thing that instanced loot isn't even remotely the only other option being discussed.

Although the prospect of threads telling GGG their profession sucks and others need to be nerfed to oblivion so they can win a fight is even more daunting to me than this thread =p there is no true nature FFA in this game there is one nature FFA... and we do not ask for nerfing nothing we ask the obvious... every party member rewarded equally for the contribution to the party unless they figure a system that the players are rewarded for their contribution to the party (loot scaled to %dmg done to a mob for example) nothing more nothing less ps. there is nothing to do with rng gods for map drops...map drops are endgame and atm are more are than an exalted and a regal :p ... still no map drop :P 3.5 lvls of farming docks merci (68-71.5) ps1. sorry for the off topic...:P but they seem to have other problems also ;p When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself	Posted by killbilly#2346 on Mar 4, 2013, 3:00:45 PM Quote this Post
For me, loot system in this game totally sucks. If it was any good, so many people wouldn't try to find a way to bypass it (multiaccounting) and this thread wouldn't have 700+ pages.	Posted by orzewoi#6957 on Mar 4, 2013, 3:02:45 PM Quote this Post

It should definitely be one way or the other instead of attempting or posing at pleasing both sides. The timers and names confuse the player base. The devs would be far more consistent if they removed them and made it completly FFA. I would respect them much more for doing that. Instead of how it is currently where people act like its a compromise to have the super short timers. And it would be even more consistent to add in true cutthroat. Let us hostile eachother. Now the game is actually making sense to one side of the issue. Standard Forever	Posted by iamstryker#5952 on Mar 4, 2013, 3:02:59 PM Quote this Post

This game doesnt have FFA. As i have said way to fucking many times to count, this is totally NOT a FFA system. Its a wanna be FFA/Instanced bullshit hybrid that has caused nothing but a giant fucking headache. Timer / names, should have never been added. GGG - Why you no?

I really don't understand what the objective of the current looting system is. I lost 'my' GCP that dropped last night in a docks group. Irrespective of whether you think that is right; I thought 'f this game', swore off grouping and logged off. I don't think this game has much longevity as a single player game, and the current loot system makes grouping in public games unpleasant. I'm certainly no saint wrt loot drops, and I've taken plenty of loot off other people myself. However, it doesn't make me feel good about the game. This is a major problem for a game based on partying. Also, this game isn't popular enough for 'outside' partying systems to work. I play HC at NZ + 12, and haven't found anyone through various other gaming sites that fit that schedule. D3 didn't have this problem because 'everyone' played D3, so I had plenty of friends from other games to play with and I wasn't forced into public games. I don't know anyone IRL who plays this game, so my two choices seem to be public partying and getting annoyed due to perceived unfairness of loot drops, or soloing. At the moment I'm spending most of my time soloing, but I can see that that will become stale sooner rather than later.	Posted by shermo#2684 on Mar 4, 2013, 4:00:57 PM Quote this Post
