Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.
|
I will go ahead and add my 2 cents.
The current system isnt a good 1. I am not asking for instanced looting either. But, I believe the arguments against the current system are stronger then the ones for it. I would recommend a slightly longer timer for the following purposes: 1) Even with the timer it favors those close to the loot, specifically melee, for a variety of reason listed in this thread. Lag, collision etc all play a big factor. 2) People on the internet are pretty much not nice. I dont expect that to change, but it would be nice if a public party that came together for a common purpose actually wasnt pit against each other in order to achieve it. there is a lot of bickering in this game and it is prety much 100% due to this loot system.

Hate the current looting system, the only Exalted Orb that ever dropped for me was taken by someone else even though I tried to damn click on it.
The solution is simpler that you think, there is already a loot timer implemented in the game, just let us choose the timer lengths, instead of having 1-2 seconds which is not enough, let us choose from between 5-30 seconds but keep existing looting system as there isn't anything wrong with it. Solution that can be done easily as this is already in the game. IGN - Sparky_RAMPAGE

I dont get it why so many people want a workaround via loottimer?
Actually the loottimer is a >>FLAW<< in itself! It has several disadvantages: -it crowds the screen -it makes looting very tedious -it makes keeping an eye on seemingless valueless items more difficult(like white items) -(it imbalances economy because people have it easier to get whatever blues/whites they want) the arguement in brackets is something people take as a pro argument, but it is not necessarily. Having easy access to high level white items because you play in a party is not a good thing in my opinion. Why should you get your crafting materials more easy because you play in a party? Pro Player will know that items with lv 68 and ilvl 70+ are very useful, still you only need a certain type of them. If you play in a party everybody has access to everything, making lootprogress easier(for no reason) I dont like it. I dont care about ninjaing, because I am capable enough to profit from it (still I dont like it) The actually downside is the DISTORTION OF THE LOOTINGPROCRESS and crowding of the screen. no change of the timer will solve this, only instanced cure is the solution to this. Of course only 1% of the people will agree with my argument, because greed tends to cloud so many minds... If you can get more white items->>"YES YES PLEASE; GIMMI, TIMER GUUUUD THING!" Thats how people work, they dont see the whole picture. But I can guarantee you: FFA loot COULD be acceptable but the timer are awful and easy access of so much loot is imbalanced and harms the game in the long run, because looting becomes tedious and annoying. People should only be able to access a share of the total so its balanced with solo play. |

" Poe has horrible net coding judging from the numerous dsyncs You lose loot even with 100ms (timerwise) When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself

" Easy solution. Don't pug, make friends and play with them.Kids these days expect anything to be handed over on a silver platter, in this case loot. Loot is only yours when it's in your inventory. It should suck that you play all night and maybe get no loot at all, that's why it's hardcore 8) |

" Maybe you could also make a rage quitting club. You could be that guy who isn't just the president BUT is also a member. Edit: Your seriously a giant hypocrite. Trying to call people carebears when you QQed and rage quit over dieing too much boooo hooooo you made a crappy build. Any casual who has never rage quit before is far more hardcore than you. Your arguments suck which I guess is why your now resorting to lame sarcastic insults. Not every issue is the same. Go look at my stance on full respecs or the death penalty. I want the game to be tough and I never rage quit like you did. Standard Forever Last edited by iamstryker#5952 on Feb 17, 2013, 6:22:08 AM
