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

lol my first orange (unique) drop was ninja'ed from me... It had my name on it and I tried to run over to it as soon as possible (was fighting mobs) but the timer expired and someone grabbed it :( After that I stopped playing multiplayer, for other reasons too..

To much abilities being spammed it is sometimes hard to see the mobs with all the commotion and some environments the monsters "blend" into the environment making it even more of an issue...

I mean should I just join multiplayer game and not fight any mobs and just focus on looting and ninja'ing the drops of others?? See the potential problem?

No your in the minority!! Uh uh Your in the minority!!

It doesn't really matter

The bigger question would be are enough players unhappy to warrant another option? The very very obvious answer is yes.

Edit: Anytime any of us are playing this game single player....is it the REAL POE?

of course it is. So lets pretending that FFA makes the game. It doesn't

Easy solution:

Have a check box before making a group with FFA and a slider next to it for a loot timer and another checkbox for the allocated setting.

FFA: 0-15

Allocated:

Whenever a magic item drops it is instanced to someone, when the next one drops it goes to the next member. Same with rares.

everything else

Uniques are FFA

Orbs,scrolls are FFA

Whites are FFA

This way the people that want to kick back and pew pew some stuff can still get an upgrade or two.

-????

-profit

just sayin...

Nope striker even if you´re enough other people in my house that want me to play those new pop songs. This won´t happen bro i have the houseright ;)

What i mean with this is we heared now all pro´s, con´s of every side. It´s now only circle jerking. GGG needs to decide they have the houserights. It´s enough.

Or you could just follow and get the exp. Same concept, doesn't rely on the loot system for the issue to arise :P

Gotta back spysong on this. Nobody is winning this. It's all a waste of time due to redundancy now.

I do feel it's going to mean fewer people at the GGG house on a typical night though.

I've seen things like this happen in games over a dozen times, i was hopeful...

Playing till act 3 cruel, the only thing that makes party play unenjoyabe is the loot system. Just because diablo did it doesn't make it a proper loot system, it was flawed then and it still is.

There are people who sometimes don't even bother attacking and just stand around till the loot drops to steal it.

GGG should just increase the rare/legendary drop timers to fix this issue.

IL is a flawed system yet but even with its cons it is far superior than ffa (waiting pro's and con's)
