Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.

Just adding my point of view... I obviously didn't read the entire thread :x ...


I think one of the main problems of free for all loot in a party is: the sheer amount of loot that might flood your screen.

One way to keep to keep FFA loot while circumventing this issue would be the addition of filters to keep only "Rares" and "Currency Items" visible if so you choose.

Right know the timers seem too short when they run off before you even finish checking what you've got.


Hoping this helps.

Trust me, they do read all of this.

But, its very near to open beta and its more importent that open beta runs smoothly and without too many problems, then figuring out this looting issue atm.

Im sure that it will be picked up again later on, might even be briefly after the open beta has started, since more and more people will voice thier say on this.

Carry on.

I'd kinda rather everyone didn't. :/
I remember seeing another user get put on probation in another thread.
If the thread is going to get a bye, will that stuff at least still be going on in the background?

See my signature. :)

You'd think people who are used to very communicative devs would realise that if a thread has reached almost 300 pages without much dev interaction, it's PROBABLY not all that important to the devs.

You can discuss loot options all you like, but in the end, it's their call. Silence speaks volumes.

Except for the fact that Chris made the thread asking for feedback.

Not if you are going to bold yell at us...

Yes, in early 2011, and he hasn't posted here SINCE May 2011. That was before the allocated timer change, which I believe is GGG's compromise with FFA vs allocated loot.

Do you REALLY want me involved in this thread?

It would actually be great. There are plenty of great posts in this thread about ideas for various loot systems, pro/cons for them, flaws for the current loot system, etc...

However most of the time they get buried under posts from people who don't wish to discuss anything and only force their opinion on others.

People that are lashing out in anger towards people because they have a differing opinion then others (see the post you quoted) should get a vacation from the forums and not allowed to continually destroy any sort of civilized discussion in the thread.
