For the players that loved the competitiveness of FFA loot: You can pick FFA and have fun your way. No one is stopping you.


Lol, free loot or hassle over loot. Free loot it is! Now please add free full respecs otherwise you might loose customers as well.


its a hassle now?

its guaranteed.. but defined amount of loot. OR

no guarantees.. greater amount of loot or possibly less.. it all depends on how good you are at the loot minigame.


can you people stop acting like FFA is a wash now? if it is then it never should of been in there in the first place.

it gives you the option to play your style.. and if you play it well you can get much more loot then you will get in a public party with 10 second timers.

and if you don't want to deal with playing the loot mini game, and just want to focus on fighting and getting some loot also you can play in a room with a 10 second timer.




Someone shoot me..lol. Thanks for pointing out why loot options are lame.


People should be playing the same game, not divided because of 'loot options' just 'because'.


Just as stupid as Diablo 3s TEN levels of monster power.

It's important to us that Path of Exile has a cut-throat feel where players are not only competing against monsters, but also their fellow players.

Why was this so important?

The only 'option' you need to add is maps to maker and use d3's instanced loot system. Maybe we could have our own FFA only league then? the fastest ninjas can battle it out for the last exalted orb in existence! no thanks.

What use is loot tension if its optional? just flush it already.

options are bad remember?
yay, it's so funny watching the ffa-lovers getting sour and bitter ... they even got back their old brainwashed cultist arguments trying to make themselves feel better about this new turn in the game development.
show indeed

core design? give me a break.

and btw this is a BETA. game is entirely different then it was a year ago and the upcoming loot change hasnt even happened yet.

stop trying to play that card.
Who is upset over the change?

I am like the devs at GGG, I like loot tension. So, my games will be loot on the new version of the timer and sometimes FFA for shitzengiggles.

Will I end up in the occasional instanced loot group? Yea likely, but I will live.

I just think they are doing it wrong.

I expect most everyone will play 'no tension mode', certainly in public games anyway. Not needing to trust strangers is a big perk - that and not having to loot in the middle of fighting makes it much safer - great for HC.

I don't think that loot tension works if you can just opt-out. I think adding options is a bad idea, they should just copy d3 loot method and go all in. Adding options that add nothing to the game is a waste of resources IMO. - just add map to maker as a box or something.
Don't understand the problem. People have claimed forever now that FFA is more fun and you can get more loot with it.

Now all of the sudden there will be an option and those people are backtracking or what?

If you like it then play it! What does it matter if other players don't like it and don't play it??

Just like single player. Now the game actually makes sense.

The devs are apparently smart enough to see a difference between playstyle and a core design.
