Looting -- The official thread for discussing the loot system. Updated 18th March, 2013.
|
I tried before, and I am doing it now.
Bowing out until I have time to continue this discussion. I can't keep up with 2 pages of posts between me and rebuttals. Safe to say, we don't agree. I'll have to leave it at that for now. Off to shopping with the wife. Also, if you read my posts, the reason I post from a game standpoint, is that you are debating about changing an aspect of the game. I try to limit opinion as much as I can in my responses. My bubble is perfectly fine, and as I have said, if they change it I am fine with it. Just that I still feel, as this is my opinion, that this is the best implemented FFA I've seen in a hack and slash yet. "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!" Henry Ford

" People group for major 2 reasons. 1.) They can't do it alone. This is the major reason. 2.) They enjoy the HUGE amounts of exp/loot dropped from running with a packed party and stomping everything. " Actually. Theres nothing more annoying then people who don't accept the truth and then talk shit. Last edited by MrNecro#3599 on Feb 28, 2013, 1:47:53 PM

" I played D3 as well for a while, and if 95% of public games in PoE were suddenly using that loot system I would be gone too. I like to compete for loot if I feel the need, I like to join games with stated rules for loot (pub or with friends) and I like the freedom to do what I want if I change my mind. I question the motives of anyone who wants to take those freedoms away. " The few people that will want FFA loot games if given a choice are going to be the fastest and greediest of all players. (Nothing wrong with that if that’s your thing) When I join public games, I don’t take or try and compete for loot that didn’t fall with my name. I respect other players until they give me reason otherwise. It is a dynamic environment, and I have made several friends so far by meeting people after a long run who will just stand there and not pick up a valuable orb/item that fell with my char name on it. (Because that is what I do for them) I say “thank you!” and click friend request when that happens and it’s a good feeling. I know that is someone I can trust, I won’t feel the need to stop fighting and loot if its fight is extra difficult like in a map or whatnot. Personally, I love the harsh environment FFA loot presents and overcoming its difficulty can be just as rewarding as defeating any other obstacle this game throws at us. (one-hit bosses, hard to get RNG 5l-6l’s, no full respecs, lmp voidbears, etc) Instead of trying to make friends or perfecting your ability to get your loot while fighting you find it easier to complain on the forums and hope the devs take it out. Worth a try I guess. |

"Ok, you want the freedom to be an asshole to anyone you want from behind a veil of anonymity and the security that neither enforcement of the rules you agreed to nor punishment for violation of those rules is possible. If you want such a freedom, then I should have it, too. Fair is fair, right? Therefore, I will now exercise my freedom to now make all games instance-only loot. Do you see the problem with this stance, yet? |

" Who wants that? Literally nothing that you said you like about FFA would be gone. It would still be there. Yet you guys are so scared of people playing public games in a non competitive way that your actually fine with the multitude of players hating public games as they are now. I think that's weird.

" You do know the difference between opinions and facts right? Or in your own reality everything you believe are the facts and the rest of the world needs to adhere to your beliefs? " This is an example of an opinion. If you want to argue that its a fact please provide support for it? Maybe a quote from a dev?

An item has no owner until it is in somebody's inventory. You helped kill the mob? Well, so did I.
Play with friends or solo if you don't like people picking up loot. Grouping is not necessary at all. |
