I really don't care how you do the loot system, as long as you don't cater to the people who want it easier. So loot should still be random. I'm fine with it as it is really. It's a cutthroat world. Play with friends for better results, works for most games. Just don't make it easier to get any loot. The system the OP mentions sounds fine to me. It gives a slightly longer timer for ranged.

" I personally feel that co-op is currently far to EASY. I think that they should make the actual game more challenging instead of using the loot system to create the illusion of tension. I would be happy if they kept the current system and increased the base timer to 5 seconds. I would also be happy if the reviewed the current co-op monster buff. Currently monster health is increased 50% for each additional player and damage remains unchanged. I think the HP buff should be 60% and monsters should increase movement/attack/cast speed 2% for each additional player. I want the game to be harder. IGN: Wrathmar * Paulie * Client

I was heavily against FFA loot but since OB I tried to calm down and give it a try.
Outcome: Its STILL the most freakin bad thing in Path of Exile! Playing in a party is absolutly not enjoyable (for me). I always have to be prepared to not be stolen and more importantly: I have to dive enemies beeing a ranged class and I get spammed with tons of trash. FFA loot with timer is currently the WORST FEATURE in path of exile. There are other disadvantages of the system but I mentioned the most game destuctive aspects. " This. Instead of making looting terrible annoying, rather make enemies scale stronger with party size! " In my opinion the timer are PART OF THE PROBLEM. Increasing the timer will improve nothing. The problem of the timer is the >>>>extreme screen crowding<<<<. How can this be a good idea? Keeping track of the dropped loot becomes increasingly different the more people are in a party. If I get dropps I would like to scan through them quickly (and I have to in order to be useful to the party) My opionin has never changed: FFA loot heavily decreases enjoyment of partyplay I was fair and was giving it a second try but my opinion has never changed and I guess I will never play in a party again as long as there is not absolute necessary. In fact I am mostly get myself carried while partying. I dont party up because its enojoyable or I want to steal from other people, but just because it can make certain encounters easier. Is this really what GGG wants? At least they set the incentives... |

I joined a public party today without any knowledge with regard to how loot is distributed. Needless to say, it was both the first and the last pug experience I'm gonna partake in.
... I meant the ducks.

" Voodoo open your own company please seriously. If ggg intention is to lose players from sloppy design or cause of a mechanic that belongs to the 1990 then it is okay cause you know instanced loot doesn't increase items in the economy.. If it doesn't it is a sloppy designed instanced loot.. And judging by their answer (If it worth the development time) they didn't want the cut throat loot they just let it as it is and wait to see each how it delivers. Let's hope late is not too late tho When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself Last edited by killbilly#2346 on Jan 27, 2013, 11:51:11 AM
