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

Seems like GGG is shying away from a debate with the community regarding this issue.
Such an attitude doesn't look so good in my book IMHO. - Best Signature Ever -

" I think it's great. I want them to make the game they want it to be. Hardcore. People will leave no matter what decision they make. If they accomodate the hardcore players (or those who deem themselves such), the softcore will leave. Vice versa as well. I would prefer they choose hardcore as I identify with that. |

" if u want to be jerk u can, without any repercusions cause looting system is in favour of jerks. which would be easily solvable by giving option to party creator for increase or decrease of loot timers. people who like to know they dont have to jump instantly to loot while being pummeled by monsters you were fighting till that second can play with other likeminded people. people with another preference can play with other likeminded people. just to clear it up, im not sayin everybody who likes ffa is jerk. just those who fit the description above. just, ffa is not my cup of tea, it largely contrasts to my opinion what teams should be doing and that is fair play and teamplay and yet i am forced to run around opening chests, waiting for timers to expire so i can take somebody elses loot and generally play extremely selfishly just because everybody else is playing that way due to lack of options. A stranger like no otherther,

" Why not keep both? They have the means to. You can pull a Bioware and stick to your "vision" or you can listen to the feedback. GGG's decision though. IGN: Mibuwolf

" What do you mean "both"? One is exactly the opposite of the other. To have what softcore players wants takes away from what hardcore players want. And Vice Versa. To choose one is to shun the other. There is no "both". If softcore gets what they want (i.e. loot system choice beyond FFA), that takes away from hardcore as it offers an out for the game. Any form of offering an "out" to how the game is played takes away from any form of "hardcore" aspect the game has. That doesn't mean hardcore is against choice in general, it just means it's against that choice being softcore. Last edited by TremorAcePV#7356 on Feb 19, 2013, 7:11:46 PM

" its not being softcore, its not being a fuckin jerk. if u jump on some player unique while he is fighting monster that could have killed you thats hardcore ? or is maybe waiting in back for people to kill mobs and then jump on their loot without doing anything to contribute to a fight. and is truly hardcore to see 4 people standing on single item while mobs pummel them waiting for timer to expire.

" Another "period" user, like it actually adds weight to a broken argument. The rehashed dead end cut-throat argument. Oh look we are back again to morons who still try to push it as a one way or the other design not an option. Yes, you heard the self serving geek nobody, everyone who doesn't want an anti social loot system can just fuck off and leave the game to rot with a few elitists who want to grab more than their fair share.

" you offer loot options. (previously stated in this thread). The people who liked having no loot timers are once again happy. The people who hated the previous timer system can increase the timer to their needs and won't "leave the game". You gain customers, and lose no one. That is the compromise. That is how you can keep 'both'. IGN: Mibuwolf

Will you guys just stop writing down the word "hardcore gaming" and "ffa loot" together ?
If I don't ever think about looting another player's item, would that make me a softcore player ? No. So they are nowhere near related. You don't even lose your character when you die in hardcore.What hardcoreness are you talking about ? I guess looting an item before the item's owner do is the new hardcore, good job you are so skilled. Hardcore players are hardcore players.FFA supporters are just something else. Thank you. |
