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

Regarding server resources:
-just take the current timers system and only extend those timers to 10/50/100/99999/whatever seconds.
Wouldn't that make it instanced loot but without hitting on server resources?

How is that still not fixed? How hard is it to implement 3 loots options? Dumbass timers, ffa and instanced?

This is like when I used to run a Minecraft server.

People would join, play, and then demand for things to be different.
This is insane! If you don't like it, don't play in groups. If you don't like that, I'm pretty sure there are OTHER games you can play that you would like.

Every game cannot suit everyone everywhere. That's why there are more than one game.

Dang this debate is so hard for me because I like the way the looting is now and the cut throat mentality of it all. I have had a handful of uniques dropped and got all of them, while only ninja 1. It's give and take, u win some u lose some, I'm fine with all that.

But on the other hand I also hate that in maps I'm honestly usually lagging back and firing random arrows just waiting for loot to pop so I will have a better shot at it. Or I'll just stop dps the boss to get better position. It's just the way I have to play to keep an edge and maximize potential drops. I also don't like that I might lose that drop because the 20 summoned zombies and skeles bogged me down for a split second in the sea of lightning effects.

To summarize, I'm not sure wether I think the system is fine but needs tweaking...or if its just good in theory but bad in implementation and outdated.

I think that's one of those things that look good in theory but never gets the result you planned for.. Like how FFA PVP will enhance RP or Permadeath will make people behave realistically.

...How is it broken?


Also, this game does not need 3 loot options.





This thread is filled with so much hate, tears and whine its mind blowing.


Good job GGG for sticking to your guns and ignoring the sess pool of a thread.

blah blah blah blah blah if you do not like here blah blah blah blah blah get out blah blah blah

man grow up dev asked the god damn feedback and we delivered, FFA system is a dead horse and IF ggg wants to stick to it then ok it is their game
BUT

THEY HAVE NOT CLEARLY SAY THAT THEY STICK WITH FFA (in fact they moved back with the timers and will move more for sure)

now grow up get some fact straight and stop posting such BS cause they are

a) outdated
b) old
c) BS

ps. we do not want the OTHER game, we want an alive PoE
ps1. if you want PoE to die or have 1000 players just follow the road of "fanboy, i eat all the crap a game dev throws at me"

Typical response in this sess pool thread.


Insults, insults, insults, insults, insults... etc.





Its kind of funny you call me sad, when this entire thread is sad. This is where GGG shoves all its garbage posts from people complaining about loot.

They're not sticking to their guns, they're simply deciding on the best course of action. Ignoring something as important as this would be stupid.
