Multi-Boxing. Finally. The facts.

for what possible reason is this allowed? ggg please less focus on more microtransaction effects and more fixing game; it is rapidly losing its appeal which is a real shame. FIX THE MAIN ISSUES FIRST.

Not sure what you mean by random loot, but I do tend to make a ton of alts since I only use self found gear. If it's a good item I use it, otherwise I vendor it. I'm usually always low on currency as well... playing self found it is often useful and needed to upgrade/socket/link, purchase higher tiers of currency etc.

" And how exactly are the art guys going to fix anything but micro transactions and artwork? And what , pray-tell, are the main issues? You seems to be on top of them. " Random loot means the useless white items you dont need. Non random loot means a boss drops a specific item, similar to WoW. Or a mob. Or whatever you kill that has a specific drop. Nothing in this game has a specific drop place or rate, so its random. But without trading, then we dont need random, we need certain gears to drop on certain bosses so they are upgrades.

Monitoring and baning multiple accounts with the same IP, making it impossible to open few clients on 1 platform or simply players reporting multiaccounters, if they noticed something suspicious.
It wouldn't eliminate multiaccounting completely, some people would still find a way to bypass that. But at least much less people would do it, so it wouldn't be so devastating to the game. I used to play PoE every day, but recently, I didn't touch it for 3 days. I just lost my will to play, when I know, I'll never be as effective as multiaccounter. I think, I'll just go back to LoL. |

" True, they could follow suit with the only proven effective method of dissuading multies. Only allow 2 clients to run from the same IP. It works for PW, it might work here. And allowing two will still allow for mules to exist, without a HUGE problem with multiloggers. Mind you....it would only dissuade them...it would not stop them. People still multi in PW, and they see no reason to stop, even though they are breaking the rules of the ToS/ToU from PW. And why would you ever go to the cesspool that is LoL.

" Ah, well it's ok... I really don't mind (and would still prefer) random loot than planned upgrades. It's just more interesting to me. With as many alts as I have, there is rarely anything completely useless for me anyway. :) |

" ok ill bite. desycnh, looting options, broken trading, multiboxing are the MAIN issues. Game mechanics and tweaking the passive tree, adding usable skills and making melee remotely comparable to ranged are secondary. The art guys- work on a refining the effects of poison arrow, minions, flame rocks and blue rocks to not be so intensive; or failing that work on future additions? I am not on my own in thinking the game has gone downhill like a snowball since open beta, you clearly missed my point that adding MORE whizzy, flashy, bright special effects will just exacerbate the underlying problems. |

" but thats the problem with soulbound loot, and no trades. Random loot isnt a necessity anymore. You cant give it to an alt, so it becomes useless if its not for your build. Thus, the only logic step after that is making a guaranteed upgrade after every boss, ala Zelda games. 'It is good to contact a moderator if you feel someone is being a twat' Charan, Forum Moderator

" I am an advocate of account bound loot- not soul bound. Not that I mind soul bound, but that is probably way too hardcore to ask for lol. Also, Elder Scrolls games. They are basically soul bound, unless you are finding a way to transfer loot to alts (which would be silly imo). Loot is still randomized there without planned upgrades. I don't see it as being necessary, or even desirable over random loot. Last edited by MrRoundTree#5885 on Mar 1, 2013, 7:47:14 PM

I'm just going to leave my 2 cents on the issue in this sea of posts, because I want to get it off my chest.
I hate that this is allowed, and I do it myself. Haven't been doing it very long, but I feel pretty dirty while doing it. I long for the day the announcement comes out that this is now a bannable offense, even though seeing Charan's posts, it doesn't look like it will come. |
