So you're a fan of long, drawn out ramblings that cater to your needs.

Is that your point?

Who wouldn't be a fan of that?
Also, there are other points in there.
Give it another read.
You'll get it eventually, I have faith in you buddy!

I did read it.. Not really a fan of it.


Sorry.



I mean honestly, theres like one point he makes. And that point is where there should be NO loot timer. Which i agree with.

I hope a moderator gets on this soon. Back to the issue maybe?

I think there is absolutely a strong argument for the FFA loot system. Like Chris said, it encourages a more cut-throat environment. I understand that people feel that it can be unfair, but i think that FFA fits this game very well. The current system is a good comprimise, gives people a chance to grab things without completely destroying the FFA system.

Maybe group options could be added later for those who want loot assigned? You could just add an option to take the timer off so that items are assigned as long as they remain on the ground. It could work something like this: upon forming a group, a vote could pop up with a few options such as "complete FFA loot", "Timed assigned loot" and "Assigned Loot". Just spitballing ideas for those who dislike FFA, personally i like it.

I completely support FFA or timed or whatever. My argument for the ability to choose is based on what some feel is flawed rational by Chris. There I said it. It appears that Chris somehow feels that without some PVP element the game is no longer valid. I feel safe in saying many valid customers would disagree. I have said before and will say again POE is a fantastic effort. No one wants to prevent those who like PVP ie FFA from doing so. No one is asking Monk pandas to be put in POE.

Reported for what.. Telling it how it is?

If you like turning people into crack heads. By all means keep the stupid timer on some misguided, truly unfounded stance. The prison is hell theme? lol come on. People would turn on the ninja and eat him 1st if you want to get down to it. You can't have one theme and not support all underlying themes that go with it.

2 points which made me playing solo only now

1) you kill the boss and get your loot, it should depend on playing well IN the bossfight, showing reaction and a little skill, NOT after the bossfight against 5 people, thats nonsene in my eyes

2) a lot of timesink, caused of people standing stupid around and waiting for others loot, seen in every group i joined

in fact i cant follow your pros, stressing up while running stupid around infight for getting all the loot (and if you dont, youre getting nothing!)

the soul of the game isnt the ffa system, the soul is grinding items to improve your chars, and the ffa works against, im not gonna support this if its the same at release, for solo i can play scyrim or whatever and multiplayer now is broken in my eyes(edith means: maybe ill try to create groups my own with "only self loot" or something like this, but i dont think this works when the fist legendary drops, lets see xP)

Seriously. I want to see you prove this.

Where is your prove for "maybe 50-70 people"?

But it doesn't really matter what you think because its not your game. Is it?

So it's not yours either? So "it doesn't really matter what you think because its not your game".

Then why did you editet your answer after being reported?
Adn if there are only "whiney, little, annoying, selfentitled kids" in this topic, then you're part of them because you're in the topic too.
