STOP NINJAS - FIX LOOT RULES FOR GODS SAKE
|
The loot system of D3 and similar games is just as flawed. An item will drop thats good for your partymate, but he did not even see it, might as well sell it on ah, lol.
My rant on current loot system (dont read if you dont want to):
Spoiler
The people who enjoy the current loot system completely are either a)always groups in parties of friends (i have a feeling this includes developers) or b)are a melee character + enjoys power fantasies.
Most of the friends i play other games with either were not as excited as me for this game or just weren't up for the difficulty. Normally i would simply make friends ingame - but no, the only people grouping are ones that try to overcome bosses/zones their spec is weak to or people with the attitude "1 player - all loot for me, 2-6 players, many times more loot for ME!". Before any counter arguments, was there ever a party (in open beta, mind you) where an item dropped, someone picked it up and said "hey mr.guy-that-i-have-been-farming-ledge-for-2-hours, i think you might want this, do you want it?". After a dozen or so parties i stopped being the only one with that attitude. It is a downwards spiral - don't want to do pugs, cant find likeminded poeple, to find likeminded people need to party with randoms (even though everyone nice has already given up). Of all the multiplayer games i've played in my lifetime, this has felt so incomparable lonely it is difficult to describe. But well, i try to rally anyone i know rl and other communities to play with me so someday i may have a party of friends. Hopefully. I can live with the FFA system even though it turns the game into "item names always on" frantic itemname reading and shooting in vague direction of enemies rather than hack and slash. But i don't want the games mechanics to slap me in the face as well so - Increase the pickup radius on items so i don't run up to an item frantically clicking it (character already stopped moving) just so the melee guy who simply stepped on it and waited out the timer to pick it up. GGG promised fairness for ranged, that has not yet been achieved. Or simply enable the system to switch between a FFA and a roll or longer timer system so we can calmly clear the room before sorting out loot. Everyone would be happy then (except those that try to leech off slower people). Last edited by Albolynx#4222 on Feb 2, 2013, 10:01:36 AM

Rename Loot to Lag, 3 clicks while on an item with my name still goes to someone elses inventory. Fine, I guess ill just leech some xp and kill nothing

" You're a crybaby, get over it. Even if you play ranged, you have more than enough time to walk and grab your item. You're just sad because some kid has better reaction time then you. These loot topics are dumb and just show your childish behaviour. If you're scared of ninja's make some friends and party with them, or solo. Stop complaining on the forums, it's annoying.
