Developer Q&A - Answers Part 5
" it removed the only advantage melee had towards casters and ranged chars (being near the drop zones). the disadvantage when playing parties needed heavy incentives for players in the form of having a much more difficult solo game. it was a perfect setup. players in parties actually had to contribute to fighting monsters to get some rewards. that's gone, those who actually fight in parties risk their xp progress while getting nothing special out of it, makes playing in parties rather meh. the logical consequence of introducing permanent loot allocation was "teh spoiled ones" requesting an offline gaming mode. which likely was their intention in the first place because the game felt like an offline game with attached trading afterwards. i still could punch kittens when i remember those idiotic arguments about it "being optional". yes, sure. makes sense if there is a special league with enforced ffa party play but who in their right mind would artificially play the game in a higher dificulty without the recognition of having done so. offline

" I tried like 30 times to convince my friend to play without success for 2 reasons. 1. He said he tried it 3 months ago, and stopped playing after the act 1 because the game was too easy (I been unable to convince him to make at least 1 char lv 70 see if it was still easy at that lv, but I been unable lol, he uninstalled the game already...) 2. He prefer d3 mainly because of that annoying small inventory. (You guys should at least add 1 more horizontal row to put 2 body armours or a 2h weapon and a 4 square item such as a helmets/glove/boots, I agree with him, your inventory is annoying) " Use your keyboard OR buy youself a 50-150$ mouse with which you can macro keys or text and save them the way you want on the button you want on it (a mouse with like 10-15 buttons) " He probably mean in game, like in a mmo. You click on someone and then click on inspect. There you can see the look of that character (in a new windows [sometime we can even rotate the character and check its look more in details]) and you can mouse over all items (and read their descriptions of course [and check what cosmetic the player use, instead of pming him just for asking it]). In some mmo you can also see the player inventory. And what he said was, we need a privacy control to let others see our character or not (or just the look of the character and no items in details). Also, if we could /playername inspect it would be even better. " I'm so much used to alt tab to the wiki 1000 times a day that I never had that idea myself hahaha. We should have this NOW lol. " What changed is the ranged characters now have the time to pick some loots (SOME loots...) " I never bought a pack with a t-shirt, but just to let you know, I wear like 4XL or 5XL usa size (depending the company) which is something like 10XL or 12XL chinese size. I hope you guys offer this ? :p (If I'm that fat, it's because of you at like 25% hahahah. DO NOT make such a good game !) | |

" I necro this because it's a good point. You can maintain your "gravitas" of loot quantity and simultaneously make the loot system less annoying by changing the shape of the inventory box. Currently, the inventory box is horizontally biased. Meanwhile, loot itself is vertically biased. This makes NO SENSE. The only reason you did this, I imagine, is because Diablo did this. Guess what? It didn't make sense in D1/D2 either. A vertical inventory box might be too hard to implement at this point in time, but it wouldn't be so hard to remove two rows off of the left and add a single row to the bottom. The end result? 1. The same quantity of crap comes out of maps. Exactly what you wanted to achieve with a limited inventory stash. 2. Given the current distribution of loot types, a hell of a lot less loot-Tetris. People can go back to town with less empty space WITHOUT taking the time to play Tetris with their inventory. Some annoyances are (ultimately) good for the game. This is not one of them. In short, annoying != challenging. Not in any sense that is important, anyhow. Farewell, fellow exiles. New hopes are on the horizon, and we may yet see a worthy successor to D2.
