If you don't like it play solo. I don't like it, I play solo. Problem solved.

Thats a great idea. 10 levels solo farming merci ledge and city of sarn, no lie, 0 rares i could use, 1 gcp as currency, 0 quality gems, 0 uniques. I have blue gear still mind you. I have crap dps, crap survivability. Farming solo is a massive pain for 0 profit or gear. At least in a party i have a very slight chance of getting a drop and actually being able to pick it up. Or even more rare NON GREEDY PARTY! In default i've been in parties daily where they dont ninja even shit worth exalts or an exalt itself, i havent seen one hardcore party where someone didnt steal something, even as little as a fusing or alch

you realise that additional players only increase items by 50% (not 100%), that means 2 players will drop items worth of 1½ players, more the people less items PER player. By playing solo you will have more items with "your name tag" drop than in groups. Groups drop more items than solo in general, but remember all that loot is divided for 6 players, not just you. So only way you can get more items for yourself in groups is to ninja.

As for the whine about loot timer, I get all my loot I want, with 60-80 ping, np. I might miss click once per 10 items, and still manage to get the item. I think the problem is you, not the game :S

I was testing with a friend, even 45 ping, right next to the item, i'd click the item and it would take rougly 1-2 seconds to actually pick it up. So imagine any sort of lag/reaction time + walk distance (i usually am ranged) then the time to actually pick it up. I think more like 8 seconds minimum would be better, still give others a chance for those greedy ones ;) and give legit, non ninja non greedy people like me a fair chance.

Increasing it to 8 seconds? Not going to happen, ever.

Theres a massive difference here too. If i had money and gear i could care less, when i have massive amounts of riches on default, and i have literally 1 chaos to my name on hc, i get 0 drops and on that rare occasion (maybe once a day if lucky) i get a good item drop, and about 75% of the time i dont even get to pick it up! Just annoying is all

I understand in his moment of rage he posted this... but he has a pretty valid point(even though he has shitty RNG he still has better luck than I) I only party for the increase in drop rates, and I understand drops are the way they are to be fair and equal and a lot of other filler bullshit that people spout off...

But with the way the pings have been here lately I have been able to get 0 drops that have actually dropped for me... and I'm pulling out all the stops lol... Move only left click, clicking once on an item that drops to insure that I don't pick up other things, using haste pots to get to the item quicker, positioning myself before a large mob pull to ensure that I don't get desynced on a pebble on the ground.. etc. But still no luck.

This isn't a rage post about the loot timers.. or whatever the shit the case may be. I just have problems with certain graphics and the way certain things affect the way you perform when you're in an intense position... Nothing seems to work right lol You either mysteriously lag, desync, dc, item drops across the map from the mob(ties in with desync), lag death from poison arrow+gmp+lmp+chain+fork+quill rain... or something dumb. :P

TL;DR: Fuck you. <3

The loot in this game is fucking atrocious. Firstly, even with less than 50 ping no matter how many times i click the fucking item, or hold down the button, I CANNOT PICK UP MY ITEMS BEFORE THE TIMER RUNS OUT. PERIOD! Now imagine 150+ ping when im transfered into a god damn somali or some shit server, I NEVER GET MY LOOT REGARDLESS. I started hardcore after playing default for the first few weeks, in 1 week, several characters to 20+ a few to 40+ and 2 60+ i have gotten 1 gcp, 1 chaos as currency drops. IN 1 WEEK ON AT LEAST 6+ CHARACTERS! And now a unique weapon dropped in docks (one of the actually used ones worth at least a few chaos) and im sitting there SPAMMING THE GOD DAMN ITEM and it doesnt pick it up, and this rich prick who has the +100 attirbute amulets, and the 2k defence unique shield gets it, then shows off his gear. So the poorest, blue geared 64 in the party gets a decent drop that can actually help him and the most rich asshole in the party gets it and then talks shit. Thats just lovely. Im so sick of this 5 second shit, account for lag, the fps hits from the bad coding, and the fact that the items NEVER GET FUCKING PICKED UP EVEN WITH THE FASTEST GOD DAMN REFLEXES EVER. 5 seconds is bullshit. Either change the timers, make the loot by name only, or remove all of it in general so its constant ffa so this shit cant happen.
