This would make each party "closer" (you'd need to actually talk to people to determine who gets what :P ), and it basically solves the "ninja" problem.

But, there really isn't a ninja problem. Its all mental. Fighting monsters and ransacking random drops off the ground is the whole point of the loot system.


The moment anyone even thinks about using the term ninja.. They should take two steps back from their pc and smack themselves silly for five minutes.

Thats the best way to solve someones ninja problem...XD

Try not to think of loot for a second. LOOT is the least important thing here.

But you are rewarded with exp. Thats the true reward in public games.


Besides, you can't ninja in this game. Thats my point of the post above.

I suffer from laggs daily, and this does not please me at all. It saddens me, that you decide to come up with a system that fits melee's and non-laggers, I KNOW that you wrote that the time has been modified to fit ranged and laggers better, but this is far from enough. I don't know what you believe lagg is, but for me these timers are just a joke. why have timers at all when you want a system where you SHOULD (!?) try to fuck someone's loot up as much as you can. this creates a system where "Best computers win" which is like in a longterm pay2win which this game is said to be so much better than.

This explanation of the loot system just feels like an excuse for something.

and actually it pisses me off to see that you want a system where players also fight amongst players, but this doesn't cut it, since when you're in a party, fellowship, and all other words describing a group of players FRIENDLY to eachother, you sholdn't just fuck eachothers characters up, becuase this actually may be the case when an awesome loot drops. As you can tell i'm pretty angry, due to i just lost a legendary where i myself hosted a map (friendly as i was) and before i put the map into the laboratoy i let the members nkow that maps goes to owner and loot to name. still i was ninja looted. ofc you'll say "then don't host maps" and to those who does i just say, right.. which brings me to another subject on why you cannot kick members and be rid of them for good.

You can repeat your talking points but you are not going to change the fact that the behavior of taking loot that is not allocated to you is called ninja’ing.

Huh? Loot is the single most important thing in an aRPG. Improving your character is the number one goal, and that's done via gear.
